ST. WINIFREOS
WELL GOES DRY

HolyweIl, North Wales, Feb. L.
CORRESPONDENCE of the Associated
Press. J-St. Winifred's Well, the
most famous in the British Isles and
for centuries the mecca for pilgrims
from all parts of Europe, has gone
dry. The incident has created a sem
sation in this little picturesque town
which relies on the well for its hveli-
hood.
The well gave up more than 1000
gallons per minute. The town relied
on the well for its water supply and
considerable revenue was derived
from the pilgrims and from the Ro-
man Catholic church which paid the
town council an annual rental for
the privilege Of building a shrine and
conducting services on the site.
AS soon as the we'll failed an in
vestigation to ascertain the reason
was begun and the authorities be-
lieve they have fathomed the mys-
