Uncle George Skyles and the good
wife, the passing of the 61st anni
versary of their wedding, which oc
curred at Fort Madison. Iowa, on
February 17, 1S67. and which was
just after the Civil war. when the
peop.e of the United States had turn
ed to peaceful occupations after the
strife which nearly tore the union to
pieces had been stopped. Miss Helen
Browne, the bride, and Uncle George,
after some eight years of married
life spent in the hustling river town
of Iowa, came to Nebraska to make
their home and resided for six years
on a farm in Nuckols county. Dis
posing of their interests there, they
came to Cass county and located on
a farm near the hustling little city
of Alvo in 1S82. They have since
resided in this neighborhood an-d are
numbered among the finest of people
here. During the past number of
years they have made their home
quietly in J.lurdock. where they have
a host of friends, who are at this time
extending congratulations and best
wishes to this excellent couple, who
have done so much to make this the
most delightful piace to live.
Meets Serious Accident
While at the farm last week, Paul
Flemming was passing over a stream
and having placed one foot on the
bank, the other slipped, which brot
the stress on the one foot, with the
result that a fracture was caused in
the ankle, which has proven of very
serious character. Mr. Fleming ac
companied Dr. Lawrence D. Lee to
Omaha, where the injury was X-rayed
and the fracture reduced, he being
able to return on last Saturday. It
is hoped that the injury, notwith
standing its seriousness, will soon be
healed.

fellows, who has resided near Mur
doch for some time, where he has
been engaged in farming, last week

Drillers at
Imperial Strike
Pocket of Gas
Dr. George Condra of University of
Nebraska Says Gas No Indica
tion of Oil Below.
Imperial, Neb.. Feb. 15. A gas
ket of ronsiderabIe Bize antl indi.
cations of oil at 2 250 feet have en
couraged residents here who invested
40 thousand dollars in an oil well
ocated last September by means of
the .gtomach 1ains-. of L. G. Hesse-
man, Wichita, Kansas
"human oil
meter."
Drilling has been suspended for
about a week, while new casing is
being placed so that the well can be
sunk more deeply.
Dr. George E. Condra. of the Uni
versity of Nebraska told newspaper
irr?n at Lincoln yesterday that a g:.s
pocket was no indication of oil; that
the gas discovered at Imperial was
in the same strata as gas at Russell,
Colorado, and the water at Lincoln,
Nebraska.
"They must go below that, through
the 'big red' bed. through the 'big
blue' bed. to the Pennsylvania bed,"
said Dr. Condra. "It is in the Pen
nsylvania bed that oil has been
found in Kansas and Oklahoma.
Whether any will be found in Nebras
ka is a question. They will have to
go about five thousand feet at Im
perial. "Divining rods and such devices
as a means of locating oil wells are
decidedly the bunk. Anybody equip
ped to locate oil that way would be
a multi-millionaire in a few weeks.
"But I don't want to discourage
the search for oil in Nebraska."
Senate Group to
Ask Coal inquiry
Members Would Carry Investigation
Into Every Phase cf Strike in
the Bituminous Area.
Washington, Feb. 15. An investi
gation of conditions in the bitumi
nous coal fields of Pennsylvania. Ohio
and West Virginia, where a strike is
on, was recommended today by the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee. The inquiry would be conduct
ed by thM committee. In the event
it was deemed advisable to go into
the coal regions tor first hand infor
mation, a subcommittee would be
authorized to make such a study.
The resolution of Senator Johnson,
republican, California, calling for the
investigation, was approved unani
mously by the commit-ee. Its authrr
announced lie would isk fot an early
vote in the senate, prt !i tir.g ap
proval and a start on the inquiry by
next week.
Under terras e,f the resolution th"
investigation wouid go into ecry
every phase of the strike, includirg
the issuance of injunctions against
the miners by federal courts. This
subject again Ct.me under fire of
American federation of labor leaders
today, who denounced the granting o:
these injunction before
th
house
judiciary committee as a menace to
the domestic tranquility of the na
tions. Eeed Amendment Rejected
In addition to the Johnson inves
tigation, the senate judiciary com
mittee has under consideration a sep
arate one into the injunction involv
ed in the Indianapolis street car
strike as well as those issued in the
Pennsylvania coal strike against the
miners.
Anticipating that it might be
necessary to make a first hand in
quiry in the coal fields, the interstate
commerce committee amended the
Johnson resolution only to provide
that the investigation may be carried
on by the committee or a sub-commit-
tee. with the subcommittee going
i,i.. .t.. T" , r
to the fields if that was decided upon
The amendment of Senator Reed,
republican, Pennsylvania, that the
committee also investigate coal
freight rates was rejected, but it was
recommended that he embody his
proposal in a separate resolution.
Chairman Watson explained that
the committee felt the freight inquiry
would require considerable time,
whereas early senate action was
hoped for in the coal investigation.
However, Senator Reed announced
later he would ask the senate to vote
on his amendment when Senator
Johnson brings up his resolution on
the floor. World-Herald.
GEE1IANY TO BE NEUTRAL
Daytona Beach.. Fla., Feb. 17.
John D. Rockefeller is "one of the
most interesting men I have ever
met," Emil Ludwig, noted German
biographer declared today after in
terviewing the eighty-three year old
oil magnate on the golf course at
Ormond Beach. Herr Ludwig de
clared his conversation with Mr.
j Rockefeller a most interesting one.
Discussing his native country he
said: "Germany's position in the
event of another war would be neu
tral. I am happy to say that Ger
many's army consists of only 100,
000 troops, a mere police force."

Nine in Contest
for Morehead's
Seat in House
Number of Candidates in
District Likely to Be
Increased
First
Lincoln, Neb. Feb. 15. With nine
republican candidates already in the
field for the congressional seat in the ;
First district, it was predicated here
Monday that the number will likely
be increased to an even dozen before
the lists close March 1.
Elmer J. Burkett of Lincoln former
er congressman and United States
Senator, is reported to be looking
over the field and may decide to try
again for his old First district seat.
Those who have filed nomination
papers on the republican ticket are:
John Wiltse, Falls City; Ralph A.
Morseley, Frank P. Corrick, Fred C.
Marshall and Jesse V. Craig, all of
Lincoln, and Thomas L. Hall, Ver
don. Fred B. Humphrey of Lincoln
also has filed on the democratic
ticket.
Thomas Petition Filed
In addition a voter's petition in
behalf of George J. Thomas, repub
lican, Lincoln, has been presented
and $10 paid to the treasurer of
Lancaster county as his filing fee, but
his formal written acceptance has
not yet been received.
Walter Kiechel of Auburn, also
has announced that he will also be a
republican congressional candidate,
and the secretary of state Tuesday
received a letter from M. F. Lorance
of Auburn, a minister, asking for a
blank to use in filing his candidacy
for the office.
Sorenson Moy Enter Race
There were also rumors Tuesday
that C. A. Sorenson of Lincoln might
decide to try for congressional hon
ors in the republican primary. Other
reports mentioned him as a candidate
for attorney general.
The grand scramble for the First
district congressional seat in the re
publican ranks is supposedly due to
the general feeling that Congressman
J. H. Morehead. democratic incum
bent, will not be a candidate to suc
ceed himself.
Not since 1914 has there been such
a field of congressional candidate?
in the First district. None contested
at, that time. C. F. Reavis of Lin
coln was elected. Omaha Bee-News
