Is now IN Brewster county locating wells
on the ranch of Judge W. Van Sickle OF
Alpine Judge Van Sickle is member OF
tne state LEGISLATURE and Is now I'm Aus
tin. Speaking of the wonderful gifts of
this boy, he said:
That Guy Fenley, this fourteen-cear-
old boy. is possessed of an x-ray sight
cannot be questioned. tie has demon
strated his ability to see underground
streams OF water. no matter what their
depth may be- on Il number Of occasions
and TIE stoC l.rlen OF west Texas have am
pie proof Oh ms power In this line | en-
saged MN : go to Brewster county and
locale w. ~ on the ranch which Is
owned b. - 4 Combs and myself This
ranch Is tuFeed in very dry country
known 6; 90 Glass Mountain. We had
made a SIN search for water on this
ranci- having sunk well TO a depth Of
GOI feet, at cost OF 81 500 without strik-
ing water. This boy has already located
two wells on the ranch, one at depth of
20 feet and the other at a depth of 400
feet. both containing an abundant supply
or pure water, and wsli-drilIing outfits are
now sinking other wells on the ranch with
no doubt about securing water
There can be no longer any doubt about
tllis boy s wonderful power sight for
the reason that instances are numerous
ana VIGOROUSLY known where his x-ray
Sift. or whatever it may be called has
been proven beyond a doubt. He comes of
a splendid family and has fine connec-
tons He is a modest. handsome blue
eyed boy, and 10 all outward appearances
there Is nothing about him to distinguish
MIN from other boys of the same age
While locating the wells In Brewster coun-
" ne romped and played with other boys
whose acquaintance he made When rid
ing horseback at night he can see streams
or water underground. his sight passing
right through the horse. He says that he
can see the bones of the animal but that
everything else Is Opaque to his sight He
ent stratas between the surface of the
ground and the water. This leads to the
oeiief that his power can also be used TO
locate veins of mineral, and he Is soon TO
be given a test In that line He has this
x-ray sight only at night, aud il is much
stronger In the dark of tho moon. When
ne exercises this wonderful power for any
sreat length of time he becomes exhausted
and falls into deep sleep which restores
him to his former self.
without citing the numerous cases and
giving the names of parties for whom he
mas been successful in locating wells I will
say that If there is any doubling Thomas
such person can verify the truth of ali nv
statements concerning the wonderful pow
er OF this boy by writing to anyone In
oVaide. SandersOn. or Alpine, Tex He
eahnot tell the exact depth of the water
below the surface. but he approximates It's
depth as any other person would guess al
