Oil, Gas Still
Possible in State
Say Geologists
Dr. George E. Condra Says One Ap
parently Favorable Structure
in Richardson County.
Geologists continue to hold oil and
gas possibilities for some areas in
southeastern Nebraska, according to
a geologic survery bulletin issued re
cently by Dr. George E. Condra, dean
and director of the conservation and
survey division of the University of
Nebraska.
It is observed, the bulletin states,
that the geologic section in the
southeastern part of the state con
tains many formations that extend
thru the oil regions of Kansas and
Oklahoma. One of the apparently
favorable structures lies northwest of
the present Morgan well, located near
Dawson in Richardson county.
"This structure and another near
by have been leased and probably win
be drilled within a year," said Dr.
Condra. "If production is found here,
the other small structures in the area
should be tested, and no doubt 'wild
catting would be done in the flanks
of the Table Rock arch."
Dr. Condra believes that the crest
of the Table Rock arch is now quite
generally condemned for oil and gas,
but he holds some chance for discov
ery in the small structures in the
basins bordering this arch, including
the one previously described north
west of the Morgan well. Also in
cluded in this area, the survey re
veals, are several thin coal beds. Sev
eral coals, including Nodaway, a
source of considerable production
near Clarinda and New Market, la.,
are believed to underlie Richardson
county, altho they are considered too
deep and too thin for economic
mining.
MRS. SMITH GETS $1,000
Omaha. A district court jury Fri
day afternoon returned a verdict for
$1,000 in favor of Mrs. Winifred
Smith of Lincoln, against Municipal
Judge Neble of Omaha. Mr3. Smith
sued for $50,000, charging false ar
rest. The case went to the Jury
Thursday afternoon.
The suit went to trial three times
in district court here. The jury in
the first trial disobeyed instructions
of the judge by denying damages to
Mrs. Smith. She was awarded a $5,
000 verdict by the jury that heard
the second trial, but a new trial was
granted when it was learned two of
the jurors had faced Judge Neble in
municipal court actions.
Mrs. Smith, former Omaha book
kesper, charged that Judge Neble
wrongfully had her brought to his
office at police headquarters and that
she was illegally held in jail for sev
eral hours.
MASSACRE LAID TO FATHER
Paris, 111. A coroner's jury de
cided the seven members of the Al
bers family, whose bodies were found
Thursday in a snowbound farmhouse
six miles south of Sidell, 111., died
from gunshot wounds or skull frac
tures inflicted by William Albers, 54,
the husband and father.
Albers, the jury verdict said, "took
his own life, with suicidal intent,"
using the target rifle which slew his
wife, 45; Shirley, 2; Eugene 4 and
Forrest, 10. The two older boys,
John. 17, and Wilfred. 14. had suf
fered fractured skulls apparently
from a baseball bat wielded by the
father.
The date of the death in the cases
of the children and Mrs. Albers was
fixed at "early in January." Thurs
day when a posse approached the
house to learn where the family was,
Albers shot himself.

Juliu3 Nielson, who has heen farm
ing east of Weeping Water, nioved
last week to the first house east of
the Chilson school, which is owned
by George Towle, and will farm that
place during the coming season. It
is r.ice .to be able to get moved and
settled prior to the beginning of the
farming season, instead of having to
wait until around the first of March,
when so many farm moves are in
order and the roads are usually in
bad condition.
Treated Frostbitten Feet
Babe Keil, who was working on a
farm out from Murray, in coming to
town the other day had the misfor
tune to have his feet frosted and he
feels most grateful to L. D. Crosser,
Eugene Gruber and Lester Long for
their treatment of the frostbitten
"dogs," which brought them out of
the kinks in fine shape and saved
him from a lot of suffering usually
experienced in cases of this kind. It
pays to know what to do, and these
boys had just the right treatment.

dock, where he was born and raised,
on last Tuesday evening to witness
the basketball game .between the
Murdock and Avoca high schools that

much pleased to see the Murdock
boys keep up their winning streak
by taking a game from the fast Avoca
team, which has long been rated as

Fifty Million
for Waterways
of Middle West
Contemplated Allotment May Per
mit Completing a 6 -Foot
Channel to Omaha.
Washington. A $50,000,000 or
more, allotment to the middle west's
inland waterways system Friday was
reported contemplated out of the
$129,000,000 budget recommendation
for rivers and harbor developments
in the next fiscal year.
Army engineers' tentative alloca
tions, disclosed on capitol hill, in
cluded $25,000,000 for the upper
Mississippi river, $8,000,000 to $10,
000,000 for the upper Missouri river
and $20,000,000 to $25,000,000 for
the Fort Peck, Mont., dam project.
Army engineers have said they
would make no final allocation of
funds for rivers and harbors until
congress actually makes the appro
priation, since congressional charges
in the figures would affect their pro
gram. Already some talk has been
heard in congress of slicing $29,00,
000 from the president's recommen
dations unless congressional author
ization is given to such projects as
the Passamaquoddy tide harnessing
power project in Maine and the Flor
ida ship canal.
If this were done, midwestern con
gressmen said, more than half of the
$100,000,000 appropriation probably
would be assigned by army engineers
to the upper Mississippi, Missouri
and Fort Peck projects.
The amounts reported in congres
sional circles as scheduled to be given
these three projects were said rough
ly to approximate the amounts made
available for them this year from the
$4,S80,000,000 work relief fund.
Markham estimated that $29,140,-
000 could be expended profitably on
the Missouri river between Kansas
City and Sioux City. If only $8,000,
000 Oor $10,000,00) were allotted.
however, the project would be push
ed well past Omaha. Missouri river
boosters such as President Arthur J.
Weaver of the Missouri River Navi
gation association have estimatd that
about $3,500,000 would be needed to
complete the six foot channel to Om
aha. A proposed $20,000,000 to $25.-
000,000 allotment for Fort Peck was
believed intended to push this proj
ect to completion at about the same
time as the river work to Sioux City.
River adverates hope control of the
stream fro mthe vast Fort Peck reser
voir will provide a nine instead of a
six root navigable cnannel.
FEDERAL BUSINESS RAPPED

association condemned "entry of the
