FULTON TEST CHECKS 100

WELLS IN CUT BANK FELL
Picks Up Eagle Sandstone At 645 Feet And
Clements Off Water At 655-Eastern
Wells Indicate That Fault Is Likely

Debate as to the structural
location Of the Fulton test on ths
west side Of Cut Bank field, was
pretty definitely ended this week
when the drill passed through
the Eagle sandstone, with it
attendant now Of water. at s45
feet. at which point the dark
shales OF the Colorado appeared.
Fulton has run casing and
cemented it at 655 and is today
drilling again, after a week Of
little progress.
Wells in the main part Of the
field pick up the Eagle at around
$50 feet. Considering surface
elevation. it is believed that
the Fulton well is approximately
10 feet lower, strueturally, than
the producers in the main field.
Pretty definite proof OF the
existence of a fault or a syn
cline between Fulton and the
main field is contained in these
fisures-and there can hardly
be a mistake in the water hori-
zon identified as the Eagle.
The Alberta-Paeific Consolidated
Matson producer. completed last
week. is 10 feet lower, struc-
turally, than the Britton group
of producers, half a mile east.
This would indicate west dip OF
40 feet to the mile which in
turn should make the Fulton
well, in NE corner is, ESQ feet
lower than the Britton group

YOUNG BEAUTYS

Sweetheart Is Summoned to
Quiz: Drowning Not

ByUnited Press

By Hitcd Press
CHILLICOTHE, Ill, April "a
The mysterious death of Lola Wells
20, winner of beauty and personality
contests, today brought an autop-
sy on her body, recovered from the
Illinois river almost two months
after she disappeared.
A coroner's jury was called in
the case today. The young wom-
an. a student nurse at Blooming
ton, ILL.,, disappeared Feb. 81 and
no trace was found until her body
was recovered here last week.
An examination indicating drown
ing was not the cause of death,
started the inquiry.
Mac Lockerbitz, sweetheart of the
girl, was asked to appear at the
inquest after Kenneth Wells, mel
brother, told authorities there had
been a lovers quarrel on the eve
of his sisters disappearance.
Lockerbitz denied the couple had
quarreled.
Miss Wells had been voted the
most beautiful girl in her high
school class, and also won a perso
nality contest.
