ALLEGED FAST DRIVING
CAUSED TROUBLE AGAIN

Only the turning of a car from the
road over the hill prevented a seri-
GUS collision last Sunday on the Rogers
Mesa hill near Hotchkiss when a car
driven by Charles Klaseen Of of Hotch-
kiss and one which was guided by Geo.
hoepernick met. Mr.. Klaseen, in or
der to avoid this turned his car from
the road over the hill, so that it turn
ed completely over once, it is said.
He was going up the hill and the
speed of his car was not great so that
there was not a great deal of force
to send it over. In the car with Mr..
klaseen, were his wife, and his son,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Dodge and
baby. None of the occupants were
seriously injured though they were
all badly shaken up and bruised.
1t is said by the occupants of the
Klaseen car that Koepernick who was
coming down the hill held the middle
of the road and was going at a high
rate Of speed. He did not stop when
the other car went off the grade. He
was driving a car with a Grand juno
tion license. A warrant for his arrest
has been sworn out by Mr.. Klaseen.

After months of activity on the part
of those Interested in the possibilities
of finding oil here and after the ex-
penditure of a goodly sum of money in
investigating the field by dependable
and experienced geologists actual
drilling of an oil well is soon to start
in the Eckert vicinity. The block of
acreage assembled by R. C. Egnew in
the vicinity of Eckert has been accept
ed for drilling test well by the Mid
Colorado Oil Company a part of the
Oil Company of Pitts
burgh. Pennsylvania.
Every possible thing has been done
to assure the company that they will
not bore into a dry hole; inyestiga-
tions have been as thorough as posi-
BILE and the science and skill of geo
logists has been brought to the field.
1t is hoped that the well will prove TO
be a big one. 1t may prove Delta
county to be another Craig field, or 1t
may prove it to be merely dry terri
tory. as did several wells drilled by
this company in Montana a short time
ago.
However, soon the field will be
proved to be one or the other. for
drilling will start at once. The loca-
tion was made by A NJ Hagan, geo
logist and the test well will be drill
ed on the T. H. Mower ranch, section
"A. township IA, range 95. about three
miles from Bckert. Several thousand
acres in the Eckert vicinity have been
leased by the company and in case oil
is struck the whole section will profit.
The contract for drilling has been
let and L. J. MCMillen of Pittsburgh,
will have charge OF the drilling opera
tions. He is expected to arrive today
and win make all necessary arrange
ments to start operations at once.
