Argument Puts Well ON Main Street of Triumph
TRIUMPH Arguments have caused wars di-
Vorces, fights, marriages, murders, lawsuits and
thousand other things but this town boasts of me-
lOrlal 10 one OF the WarmeSt arguments that ever
started here Claim is made that while cold water
has been thrown many debates this is the first
one that ever dug a well. It started Tuesday morn
ing at the Umhoefor Hardware Store where one of
the boys explaining the practice of water witch
ing" Gus Kramer insisted that water veins could be
located by the practice and Umhoefer just as
tain that it was lot of "hooey." The assemblage
kept growing with each arrival championing one
side the other until the place became too small and
the discussion too hot to remain inside Gus then
grabbed a branch off nearby tree and started out
Soon the wig curled and he offered to bet water
could be found within depth of twenty feet Mr.
Edman procured another stick and started witching
Tho not informed of where Kramer claimed he had
already spotted vein, Edman's stick took dive
at the very same place. This more than the OPP
ponents could stand and they decdedto start digging
to find out if the water wtching sticks knew what
they were diving for. When the work started the
crowd thnned out to some extent but enough remain
ed to keep the anger going. At fourteen feet vein
was tapped. The well cleaned out and has ff-
teen feet of water in it. The hardware is
erecting pump right there on Main street SO peo-
pie can get a cool drink anytime they wish.
