One day last week, Howard AnE-
ell pulled a pump on the old Davis
farm west Of Delhi now occupied
by Thos Kelley. At first he could
not pull the pump and supposed
some rocks had worked out in the
tubing. He made a hook and let it
down in the casing about fifteen feet,
catching hold Of some roots which
he pulled out The roots at the top
end were about the, size Of lead
pencil and run down over 80 feet
He pulled them all out in one piece
which completely filled the tubing In
the we'll. The roots with the ex-
ception OF the main ones were fine
as thread The tree from which the
roots came stood fifteen feet from
the well and entered the we'll nj
teen feet below tn surface and run
down over 80 feet.
