ond that the fire gong was sounded
until the high school was cleared of

THE QUESTION OF A

From Friday's Daily
In the past two years there has
liltlL IJLi III? OtTv-WI VI HI'" lliUUr UUU
! the definite decision as to location.
the work can be commenced.
The second stage of the proposi
tion is the financing of the pool and
for this purpose it is planned to have
a stock company formed of all those
who desire to see a pool in operation
here and for this purpose the com
mitter in charge of the financing of
the pool will be around to see the
citizens and learn just what can be
expected in the way of financial as
sistance and it will be according to
the responses that are received as to
what extent the swimming pool prop
osition can be considered as without
ythe funds pledged in advnee there is
no use in further agitation of the
snblect
it is planned to operate the pool
with small charges so that in a short
time it is hoped the pool will pay for
its original co3t and the stockholders
receive their funds back with a rea
sonable interest and then the pool
will be turned over to the city to be
operated as a municipal pool and
then be absolutely free to the com-
the city then being able to
carry on tbe operating of the propo
sition. With the financial condition of the
ity in mind it was not thought best
to press the demand for the city try
ing to finance the proposition as to
do this would make necessary the is
suance of bonds which at this time
is not thought advisable.

Accident Delays Drilling
at Nehawka-Murray Well
The drilling at the oil well in the
Nehawka-Murray oil field has been
delayed for a period of at ceast sev
eral days as the result of having the
drill stuck while forging its way
down into the interior of the soil.
The diamond point drill has been
cutting through hard flint and shale
for several days as the well is now
down in the vicinity of 900 feet and
the water supply was not working as
freely as it should and failed to keep
the proper circulation of water to the
drill thus causing it to become heat
ed and fused into the flint so that
further progress was impossible and
the drill is so wedged in that it
could not be removed.
It has therefore been necessary to
have special machinery sent here
from the Oklahoma fields that will be
used to extricate the drill from its
position and to permit the drilling to
continue as usual.
The new machinery will be here
in a very short time it is thought,
and after that the time to make the
repairs and release the drill may re
quire just a few days or may run in
to a period of several weeks, depend
ing on the conditions that are found
beneath the surface of the earth.

greatly stirred the residents there.
It was reported that the lady was
driving with one hand on the steer

press it, "she was sure hitting the
ball" in getting over the highway
and the last seen of the car it was
still going north on the highway.

on
Way to Aid Woik.
From Friday'- Tially
The v it is bedng drilled near
Nahawl .. . the purpose of finding
oil has had he misfortune to get the
tools stuck in the hoie.
This very often happens in the
drilling of an oil or gas well, but
there are various ways and means of
fishing these out. There are many
kinds of special fishing tools made
for this particular kind of work.
The Sullivan Machine company,
which has the contract to drill the
well, is making every effort possible
to get the tools out of the hole.
The well is being drilled by Mr.
E. DeGolver. of the Amerada Petrol
eum Corporation to whom the White
I River Development company a-ssign-'
ed 10.000 acres of the 20,000 acres
that they have under lease. The well
being drilled on the Z. W. Shrader
farm and the surrounding acreage
in different localities is owned and
operated solely by Mr. DeGolyer.
This company is a closed corporation
and has no stock for sale or any
acreage to sell.
Mr. C. D. Thurston, superinten
dent of the drilling operations, who
has had a number of years experi
ence in the oil business and under
whose supervision the drilling is pro
gressing, is not discouraged at th"
situation of things at the well, as he
has had previous expreiences of this
kind which were much more difficult
than this one. The company expects
to soon ovrecome their difficulties
and resume drilling at an early date
with confirmed hopes of finding oil
or ga3 in sufficient quantities to pay
them for their efforts and money ex
pended in exploring the lower re-
gions of the state of Nebraska. If
