HAS X-RAY EYES
TEXAS BOY SEES STREAMS OF
WATER BENEATH THE
EARTH'S SURFACE.
Some Facts About Guy Fen1ey and
His ocular Gift.-TestS Indicate
Great Possibilities. - Experiments
Under Way.


Southwest Texas now comes to the
front with a phenomenon calculated to
attract the earnest attention of scien-
tific and business world. A power
heretofore absolutely unknown; a gift
so great that if all its developments
prove true this will be pronounced one
of the wonders of the twentieth cen
fury.
This great wonder is n Texas youth
who is gifted with eyes possessed OF
what might be termed 'X-ray" lenses;
able to penetrate by sight into the
mysteries of the earth's hidden treas
ures and locate the courses of streams
of water as they glide along through
numerous creviceS and 1nnumerable
cavern of hidden mystery far below the
surface Of the earth.
The youth who possesses this rare
gift is Master Guy Fenley, who is a
son of Mr.. Joel Fenley, of Uvalde,
Uvelde county, Texas. Guy Fenley is
twelve years of age and has been poss-
essed of this wonderful power OF sight
from his birth. He is rather tall for
his age, reaching a height of five feet
and four inches, while in body he re-
tains that slimne5s familiar to growing
youths. whose paternity have sought
heighth rather than a preponderance
of flesh. His face and features are
bright and clear-cut bearing intelli-
gence. while his eyes are very black
and weIl-pointed without any feature
of remarkableneSs about them. His
hair is dark, and his general makeup
of an unassuming reticent nature.
1t was almost in the DAYS of Master
Guy Fenley'S infancy. while he was
playing about the yard in his fathers
home that his possession of X-ray eyes
was discovered. He would walk in the
yard at night where at times he played
with other children and cause wonder
and CONSERVATION among his play
mates by calling attention to streams
of water running underneath them.
The members of the Fenley family
were at first alarmed at the child's talk
but finally Mr.. Joel Fenley caused a
we'll or two to be sunk at points des-
ignated by the son, when, to the as
constituent of every one, water was
found in copious quantities, and that.
too. about the distance below the sur
face as estimated by the youth. This
demonstrated the remarkable power
with which Guy Fenley is endowed
and awakened the deepest interest OF
his fathers family and friends. Mr.
Jiel Fenlev is a wealthy and infiuen-
tiaI stockman with well-stocked cattle
ranches near Uvalde and Sanderson.
GUY Fenley is a brother of Green B.
Fenley, ex-county Judge or Uvalde
county, and at present practicing law
in Uvalde. Judge Fen1ey began some
years ago to correspond with Leading
occulists and scientists of this country,
endeavoring to ascertain information
regarding this great power and pen
etrating sight which had been given
to his brother. but no one could be
found who could throw any light on
the subject save the many comments
on the remarkable discovery of eyes
which had such mysterious pawers or
vision. Correspondence seemed futile,
and the lad was placed in the Uvalde
school to begin an educational train
ing. Guy Fenley's progress in school
has been one of rapid promotion, and
his mastery of mathematics has been
such that his instructors have had to
rather restrain his work; showing a
fine mind easily grasping situations
and text books beyond his years. 1t
was while at school that much of his
reticence was cultivated for his as
sociates gaining knowledge OF ms !
sight would taunt him in
to quietude and unrest. His dispo- !
sition has been that of a joyous lad |
who loves all kinds of sport and now |
takes great delight in hunting for |
game in his hiurs of holiday.
Master Guy FeEley is now with his |
father on the ranches near Alpine, To- |
eating wells for prominent stockmen. |
His first work was done at Sanderson, |
one of ah the flo: mfulUF UPY-PJ |
one of the division points of the Sou
thern Pacific railroad in west Texas,
where his eyes located water about
fifteen hundred feet below the surface.
Then a visit was made to the Glass
section of the country,
where well-drillers have put many deep
holes in the earth only to give up in
despair after great depth had been at
tanned So Master Fenley, accompa-
MED by his father, together with Mr..
G. w. Blackburn, on whose ranch the
water was to be located, began the
search. Each party was horseback
and it was in the night time. Master
Fenley takes the lead; the others ride
near or behind him after they reach
he pasture in which the water is
wanted. His eyes are as if fastened
o the earth by some wonderful gravity.
He sees nothing else. Soon he be-
gins to locate the earth's crevices.

seems almost unbounded. Young Fen

Blackburn and these wells will be
