Black Killing Being
Probed by Friends
Nebraska Paper Says Burial Of Man
Does Not End Case of Recent
Killing.

According to the following taken
from the Nebraska City Daily Press
of Thursday of last week it would in
dicate that the relatives and friends
of ]. w. Black who was shot and kill
ed here by A. F. Enyart recently, are
going to urge that the district attor-
ney's Office take up the matter Of the
killing The article is headed: Bur
ial of Jack Black Does Not Stop the
Probe" and follows:
Investigat ton of the motive behind
the death of Jack" Black does not
stop with his funeral. While he has
been tragically removed from the
present sphere of action and can no
longer associate with Nebraska City,
where he was best known and much
beloved by a wide circle of acquaint-
ances, his memory remains and there
are those who have sworn to never
rest until the mystery which sur
rounds his tragic death is cleared up.
1t is not within the province of a
newspaper writer to say what plans
have been laid to continue the inves-
tigation, but it may be said, without
any fear of contradiction, that neith-
er money nor talent will be spared
to make the investigation a thorough.
far-reaching and careful one. Death
does not end all, Jack" Black 8
friends say, and his death, sinister,
mysterious and horrlfying, does not
end his association with his relatives
and friends. He was fortunate in
that he leaves men of determination
behind. They will carry -on the work
he started and, in addition, the mys-
terry will be cleared 1t may take
years to do it, but the light will be
made to shine in on dark places.
The Ordway new era., 1917-03-09

Referring to the ir-mindedness
of the people of this vicinity as re-
CARDS the Black hilling, the Nebraska
City Daily Press says:
Citizens of Ordway, Col, thriving
little community in the southeastern
part of the state and where John w.
Black of Nebraska City was killed
last Sunday afternoon are. not salts
fled with the action of coroner's
jury which exonerated Albert F. En-
yart. self-confessed slayer, on the
ground that the Staying was justfi-
able.
Citizens of the town have stated
since Monday morning that Black did
not get a square deal" They be-
lleve the corners inquest was held too
soon after the deco was committed
because material witnesses who
might have thrown some light on the
subject were not called. A spirit of
absolute fairness pervades the town
and people of influence who have
talked about it are not satisfied. They
still demand a thorough investigation
by the district attorney.

Heinz Company to
Get Pickle Acreage
Propose Erection Of Sailing Plant xn
Ordway-Farmers signing
Contracts.

The H. ]. Heinz Company, the lar
gest cucumber pickle packing nrm In
the United States, will probably enter
the Crowley county district this sea
son. They will, and will erect salt
ing station in Ordway, II the acreage
can be secured, and that seems to be
practically assured now.
Charles Custer took the matter up
with this company several weeks ago,
and recently had representatives Of
the company visit the district. These
representatives were H. M. Shifler OF
the produce department and L. A.
Hathaway of Pittsburg, in charge Of
all growing territory. They inspect
ed the outlook and made it known
that they were ready to do business.
Mr.. Custer was supplied with the
contracts and instructed to sign at
least $50 acres, and of this amount
he now has good per cent of 1t con-
tracted
The Heinz people believe cucumber
growing can be done here to bet
ter advantage than it can in the
northern part of this state where the
farmers are making money out of the
business.
AS an idea of what can be done
from an acre of cucumbers a repre-
sentative of the company stated that
5000 pounds of cucumbers of the
small sizes was an estimated yield.
From one clause in the contract can
be estimated what can be done, this
clause reading as follows: III. J.
Heinz Co. agrees to furnish the seed
free of charge for planting of said
acreage and agrees to accept all
sound. well-formed pickles which
shall not count less than 500 to the
bushel of fifty pounds and shall mea-
sure from one inch to three and a half
inches in length, paying $1.5O per
hundred pounds"
The Large pickles, from three and
half inches to five inches in length,
suitable for picking will be paid for
at so cents per hundred pounds. The
large pickles are not to exceed 80
per cent of the total crop in bushels.
The balance of the contract reads:
1t is agreed that said small pickles
not exceeding three and one half
(3 u J. inches shall be delivered sep
arate from larger sizes. Nubbs, large
crooked pickles and large. seedy GU
cumbers are not to be delivered and
will not be received.
Payments will be made for said
pickles on the following dates:
On Wednesday of each week, in
full for all pickles delivered up to
Saturday night of previous week.
1t is agreed that the season shall
close not later than September goth,
but may close earlier at option of H.
]. Heinz Co., provided three-fourths
TX of growers under similar con-
tracts have ceased to deliver pickles.
1t is agreed that IL contracts for at
least one hundred and fifty (150)
acres of pickles for delivery at said
station, are not secured by May I.
1917. H. ]. Heinz Co. shall have the
right, at its option, to cancel this
agreement by mailing notice to that
effect addressed to the grower.

BLACK MEMORIAL SERVICE

The following account of the me-
mortal services held in Nebraska City
for ]. w. Black, is that recorded by
the Daily Press of that city:
Before a representative delegation
from the Nebraska City Lodge of Elks
and large congregation Rev. Wes-
ley w. Barnes of st. Mary's Epis-
copal church preached stirring me-
mortal sermon Sunday for the late
Jack" Black, Nebraska City man
killed at Ordway, Col, week ago.
Mr.. Barnes used the Tenth Psalm,
up to and including the fifteenth
verse. for his text. He paid a high
tribute to Mir. Blacks memory, re-
counted the esteem in which he is
held in Nebraska City and wherever
he is known and discussed the trag-
edy which led to his death from every
angle.
a The Press regrets that it is unable
to reprint in full the mastery sermon
which poured from the soul of the
speaker. friend and confidant of
the dead man. 1t can give only one
or two extracts, among which, per-
of the man for whom these extraor-
dinary services were held and typical
of his life:
"Those who knew Jack Black need
not be told how monstrous and i'm
possible are the accusations made
against him. His was rare soul not
known or appreciated for its true
worth save by few. But even his
superficial acQuaintances knew
enough Of the mans character and
habitual bearing to be sure he never
could have played the part OF the

THE CONSTRUCTION OF
THE SANITARY WELL

The necessity of protecting wells alb
solutely against any chance of pollu-
ton from surface drainage or infiltra.
ton of water just below the surface of
the ground is a we'll known principle
of sanitary science. However, the
hazy ideas that are prevalent as to the
ways and means of %effecting this pro-
lection have led the writer to make
the following notes on construction of
wells.
The curb of the we'll should be
twelve to fourteen inches above the
surface of the ground. AT the surface
OF the ground there should be a plat
form of concrete or stone, sloping
away from the walls of the we'll. The
edge of this platform should be at
least four feet from the walls. The
walls themselves should be so con.
structed that no water can pass thru
them without having %percolated thru
at least eight to twelve feet of soil, de-
pending upon the character of the soil.
The top Of the we'll should be covered
with a water-tight cover of wood. con-
crete or stone. If wood is used, moth
ing should be considered but shiplap
or tongue-and-groove lumber.
Bored, drilled or driven wells usual
ly have a shallow pit to protect the
pumping apparatus from frost. These
should be constructed and protected
with as much care as the dug we'll.
Drainage entering this pit, either by
the direct route of falling through the
cover or percolating through a few
inches of soil, is cumulative and will
follow the path of least resistance
down the casing and in time grossly
pollute the water below.
Old wells can be remodeled by rails
ing the curb and digging out the dirt
on the outside OF the wells, and then
plastering the walls with cement plas.
ter-two parts sand and one part &c.
ment. The we'll should then he en-.
cased with clay puddle or concrete.
The final step would be a platform or
the surface of the ground slopine
away from the we'll.
BY carefully following these direc
tions and locating the we'll at least Ion
feet from a privy or %cesspool, there
need be little danger of having u con
taminated we'll unless the grount
water itself is polluted by larger
sources than privy or %cesspool. o,
again, the privy or cespool may be il
the same water level that furnishes tn,
we'll with water. In this case the vel
should be abandoned at once.
