CALLAWAY. Neb.. Jan. $0,-(Speo!al.)-A

they can secure a five-year lease upon at
least 4,000 acres of land. It Is said by ex
perts that ths oil vein, which Is found in
Colorado. and Wyoming, and which ex
tends to Kansas, passes under this terri

to get o! here is to sink the well deep
enough. Parties are now trying to loaao
