for has been changed to the corner of
Itasca street and Cass avenue. In the
effort, however, to secure water the
well-bOrerS struck SO much water and
quicksand that the well had to be
abandoned. 1t has not decided where

was mainly due to quicksand. The
place for the we'll is near Fourth street
Better to have good water if you have
to carry it few extra yards.
