In resumng drilling operations for
a water well on the old Hitchcock
place. eight miles northwest of Bread
us, Lee Hudson's temper was rather
provoked to find that someone had
perhaps maliciously dropped chunk
Of hard red oak wood tc' the bottom
Of the we'll. then down to depth OF
163 feet. Drilling through this OBJ
struction was tedious and expensive
work and lasted for several days.
Hudson had been engaged by George
Rule to drill the well on the premises
now owned by him, with an agreemen mt
to get water or no pay. so 1t Is said.
Rule says he simply must have water
on the place and win expend the
money necessary to find it. Hudson's
rig has tolls sufficient to reach tc q
depth Of 800 feet and it that doesn't
suffice, Rule proposes to bring in an
other rig for a greater depth. Hud-
SONS drilling work was interrupted by
a fire. that destroyed his home and
threshing work.
About forty rods away from the site
Of the new we'll. Rule had well dug
by hand to a depth Of 1875 feety No
water was found and he was out of
