GREAT HOPE IS HELD BY
HUMBoLDT-TExAS OIL CO.

Only the greatest of hopes are
being held by local stockholders in
the Humboldt-Texas Oil Company
lease in Allen county, Kentucky, for
the bringing in of a producing well
on their holdings within few
days, these hopes being sustained
on account of telegram received
this morning by P. E. Born, secre-
tary of the company, stating that
a 150-barrel well has been bought
in just short distance north of
their lease.
The striking of oil in this new
well within such a short distance
from the lease of the local COM
pany's holdings and the bringing
in of a50-barrel we'll just across
the road from them only few days
ago, tend to make prospects look
pretty good to local stockholders.
1t is stated that the Humboldt Texas
Oil Company's well is now at a
depth of nearly 200 feet, the dis
tance reached in the 150-barrel well,
and telegram stating that a well
on the company's holdings equally
as good is expected any time.
Among members of the local COM
pany are P, E. Born, DR.. A. A.
Wendell, Rev. Hugo Meisekothen,
Jas. E. Cooney, A. ]. Bartmess,
who is at the field now and E.
Snyder. These stockholders incor-
porated in November, 1921.

A picture of the, new Hotel Hum
boldt as it will be when completed,
is attracting considerable attention
at the First National Bank window
on Bridge street where it is being
displayed. The picture promises a
magnificent looking building, and

tions of being one of the finest in

Pembrook, Kentucky.
Mrs. Felt left this city for Fort
Collins two weeks ago today to
make her home indefinitely. She
has been appraised of the sad news,
but it is not expected that she will
return until the body has been To-
Gated.

day evening. Although having re-
sided in this city for only a few
months, he had made many friends

of by all who knew him.
All possible effort is being made
to locat the body and a continuous
search is being kept up by diff

ing the point in the road where the
river makes bend near the high
way, they stopped the truck to take
plunge in the water. All the men
excepting Mccarthy decided to 90
in, Mccarthy staying in the truck.
While Andaberg was still undress-
ing on the bank the other three
plunged in and started off down the
river, Felts in the rear. Only a
few seconds elapsed, according to
other members of the crew, when
they discovered Felts to be missing.
All became alarmed and began
search for the missing man at the
place where he was last seen, but
with no results. The alarm was i'm
mediately brought to town and a
number Of cars containing anxious
citizens were rushed to the scene
where a dilgent search was kept
up until late hour in the night.
The water was probed in every
conceivable spot and a large guam
tity Of dynamite was used in blast
ing the river bed in the hope that
the body, if caught on some pro-
lection or underbrush might be dis
lodged. Seeing that such procedure
would gain nothing, the search was
abandoned until early yesterday
morning when additional equipment
was taken to the spot and the
search resumed.
A number of grapple hooks
had been made and part of
the f re fighting equipment
pressed into service. Barges were
built and boats and canoe were
put on the river. Dragnets made of
barbed wire and hooks Of all dis
criptions were made into drags and
the river was thoroughly combed
from above the point where Felts
was seen last to a great distance
down the stream. A net made of
wire fencing has been placed across
the dam some distance down the
river from the scene of the drown
ing in an effort to catch the body

through the blasting, and to save
1t from being washed down further.

REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS MEET
G. O. p. Convention IL Largest Held
in Many Years; George Wing
field Withdraws Resigna-
tion as Committeeman

An eleventh-hour move, success
fully conducted, to keep George
Wingfield on the job as national
committeeman, featured the Nevada
Republicans largest and most rep
resentative gathering in years on
occasion of the state convention
held in Reno Tuesday, says the Reno
Gazette. A committee consisting
of the chairman of every county
delegation in the state, waited on
Mr.. Wingfield at noon and at the
close of the conference it was an
nounced informally by members
that Mr.. Wingfeld, demurring at
first, finally vapitulated to the en-
treaties of the party.
This disposed of one of the vexa-
tious problems of the convention
and it was a happy solution, for
rumors afoat early in the day in
dicated that some bitterness was
developing over the situation.
Silas E. Ross of Reno was
elected as state chairman at the
convention.
