praisment was SIG 96.11, The figure
may be increased slightly when some
Of the material and equipment not
conveniently available for inventory
up to this time is included. but the
total will remain practically the same.
Following the reading Of the report
the council named a date for special
election to determine the wishes Of
the taxpayers relative to taking over
the distributing for the Town of Cody.
The date, March 10, gives the town
more than the required thirty days
publication of the notice of election,
and which can be read in this issue
Of the Enterprise.
In calling the election, the city at
torney calls attention to the law
which permits only bona fide proper
ty owners to vote at this election, and
a paid tax certificate must be produc-
ed before the voter can be properly
registered.
The election will call for the is
suance of bonds to the amount of $40

Four Miles After Breaking a Leg

watched his wife climb into the saddle
and ride in the opposite direction, his
loude-t cries to attract her attention
being futile.
Mrs Nordquist made her way to
the home of John Yates down in the
valley and returned to the N]ordquist
home with him. Yates decided 70
strike Off across the hills avoiding
trails, and fortunately came upon
Nordquist where he fell suffering and
helpless a few hours before. With
Mrs. Nordquist, he carried the suffer-
er to the ranch house. and surgical
attention was summoned rs quickly
as possible. DR.. Lewellen Of this city
responded. and the injured leg was
placed in a cast before he was brought
to town.
Bringing Nordquist to town wa,
not an easy task. Fred Morris, North
Fork ranchcr and a close friend of
Nordquist, with his one-ton truck,
was requisitioned and, with Mr.. Yates,
Fred Richard. Joe Bush and Ernest
Ruger, began a trip of about sixty
miles across roads that are nothing
more than trails. every bump and
swerve in the road bringing fresh ag-
ony to Nordquist. Eventually the
truck with its sufferer reached town,
and after necessary precautions by
DR.. Lewellen, he was taken to the hos
pital in Powell.

The state complies its census every

ally consumed by the assessors of

All roads lead to Oregon Basin and
everybody's going there!
The Ohio Oil Company well in the
Oregon Basin, at a depth of 2,400
feet, blew in about 1890 Monday
night with a flow of gas estimated at
about 100000 feet. The flow is di-
minishing, but District Superintend-
ent C. +. Hetzler, of the Ohio Oil
Company, believes that it will be sew
eral days before the flow will be I'M
der control. Askum of light green
oil is blowing out with the gas, and
Mr.. Hetzler optimistically declares
that they are going to get the
grease" before many moons.
This is the first well blow itself in
this district, and the volume exceeds
that of any well yet drilled here.
This well is located on the permit is
sued to Sonners and Rousseau, in
which other local people are also in
terested. the location having been
transferred to the Ohio Oil Company
through a series of s~ub-leases.
Another well was drilled only a short
distance from the one which blew it
self in on Monday, by the Ohio Oil
Company itself, but it was abandoned
on account of a crooked hole after
going down 1928 feet.
A continuous rain OF mud, water,
oil and gas is falling about the
well, and so great was the volume
of this mixture that the roof of the
boiler house near the derrick caved
in. A danger line has been laid out,
and no automobiles are PERMITTED to
pass it. As a further precaution, all
of the camp houses and fire contain
ers of any description are being NOV

After O. toltCous experience that
seldom visits a person IN that degree
more than once in q lifetime. Peter
Nordquist, Jim Greek rancher, is now
in the WhitIock hospital at Powell
suffering with a broken leg. and ne
covering slowly from his ~eNAaus.ive
efforts to crawl hop and hobble four
miles to his ranch home, following a
fall from his horse which resulted in
his injury.
Mr.. Nordquist leg was broken ear
ly Friday evening when his horse, an
unusually reliable animal, stumbled in
to a small icy ridge. Plunging for
ward to extricate itself, the horse
threw Mr.. Nordquist from the sad
die, and pinioned the latter's leg be-
meath its body so violently that the
leg was snapped just below the knee.
Frightened, the horse broke, and ran
for home more than four miles away,
leaving its rider to suffer and crawl
slowly and painfully in the same di-
reotion. The pain was intense, but
Mr.. Nordquist's life has been one Of
hardihood, and by making desperate
efforts, he managed to crawl TO n
fence, from which he wrenched two
stakes. Using these as crutches. he
made his way over the four miles of
extremely "hard going until he was
within about one hundred yards of
his house. whore he fell exhausted
and unable to proceed farther.
In the meantime, Mrs. Nordquist,
becoming alarmed yer her husbands
absence, and seeing the horse dash
riderless into the ranch house yard

Ohio Oil Company Well in Oregon Basin Dis
gorges SO, 100000 Cubic Feet--Light
Green Oil Appears with Gas
IS THE FIRST WELL IN THIS DISTRICT TO BLOW ITSELF IN

eighths of a mile from the well, and
the utmost care to prevent disaster
through communication of flames to
the gas is being exercised.
The drilling contract was let to
Paul Stock, and drilling operations
have been in progress only since No
vember 25th, last year. Mr.. Hetzler
stated that the bit had already reach
ed the Lakota sand when the well
blew out, and that as soon as the
flow is under control, drilling would
be begun again, and that they intend
ed to go down to 1000 feet, in order
to make a thorough test of the loca-
ton. "We intended to test the lower
sands" said Nj. Hetzler, "and that
is pust what we ar going to do" Y
While the enormous gas flow is not
a sure indication that gas will be
struck in large quantities, stin MI.
Hetzler and Mn. Stock are accepting
it in hat light, and firmly believe
that their efforts will soon be reward
ed by the bringing in of a well of
commercial production The drillers
were making progress at a rate of a
bout fifty feet per day, and in order
to reach a depth of 1000 feet, a
months work, or a little more, will be
required, unless breakdowns occur.
1t is the opinion of those closely
connected with this enterprise that
the well is gradually closing itself in.
A large number of cars have been
making their way to the well contin-
uously since the news of the elbow
out" was brought to town, and the
oil fever is running higher here, the
older residents say, than at any time
since this district was first regarded
as a possible oil field region.

Council Declines To APP
prove Cranes SIS, 500 Bill

Among the bills considered by the
council Monday evening was one from
Russell Crane for $500 for damages
to his hay crop. The councilmen
looked at the bill with mild curiosity,
but declined graciously but firmly to
attach their "John Henrys" to it in
approval. 1t was decided to have the
city attorney, the city engineer, and
the chairman of the water commission
visit the reservoir and the Crane farm
and ascertain. if possible, just why the
town should be obliged to pay Mr..
Crane 5000 per acre damages to his
hay crop.

TOWN WILL REMOVE
EMBANKMENT FROM
TOP OF FATAL HILL
Will Also Place Slow Curve Sign
at Summit-Believes Present
Route Inferior to Gulch Road.

The fatal accident which took place
Sunday night in which Pat Florida of
Meeteetse was killed, was the basis of
a discussion among the town council
men Monday night which resulted in
an order being given to Street Com
missioner Forrest to place a slow
curve sign at the top of the hill, the
order to be complied with at once,
The commissioner was also instruct
ed to have a large portion of the OBJ
jectionable corner of the upper nm
bankment just where the road turns
to go down the hill, removed, and thus
make it possible for autoists to see
cars going either direction before
turning the curve.
There was an impression current in
this city that the road where the car
left the grade Sunday was not in the
city limits. but this impression has
has been dispelled by the action of the
council.
1t was the undivided opinion of the
councilmen that the road, built by the
Cody Club and the town, was ill-advis-
ed, and that the old road up the gulch
could have ben converted into a bet
ter Trade and a safer road. At this
time, the councilmen believed, it
owuld be inadvisable to talk of chang
ing it, and a little money expended in
order to make the present road less
would be the better course
to pursue.

FLORIDA AT


Pat Florida, the second victim, was
buried from the Baptist church in
Meeteetse yesterday afternoon, the
little edifice being overcrowded with
friends. He is survived by three min
or children, but his wife, from whom
he has been divorced, resides in the
east. A brother and his mother re-
side in the Meeteetse community and
were present at the funeral.
The accident in which Florida was
killed occurred about six o'clock in
the evening. Miss Swain, who was
driving the car, turned out to the
right to pass a car. driven by Paul
Stock, which was just rounding the
curve coming up the hill. Miss Swain
is unable to account Complementary
for the accident, but as she said, she
undoubtedly "lost her head" the car
dropping over the steep bank head
first. Witnesses say that the car
turned over several times before il
reached the bottom of the hill, but
this has not been verified. The car
was almost demolished.
Mr.. Stock, who had stopped his
car Immediately, with others, carried
the injured woman and dead man in
to the home of Mrs. Clarence Shrine,
a short distance from where they were
picked up, and DIR. Trueblood was
summoned. Mrs. Weller is more SER
iously hurt, and has not been pro-
nounced out of danger, while Miss
Swaim's injured wrist and a scalp
wound are intensely painful. They
are now at the home of Mrs. Mary
Peckham.
The injured women are sisters, and
are daughters of Mrs. Ray Wild. of
the Carter Mountain ranch. Miss
Swain is employed by the Meeteetse
Mercantile Company.
