George Russman Victim of Ac-
cident on Farm Near
Jenera Monday
Father of Mrs. Leroy Traucht,
South Main, Escapes Ser
ious Injury

George Russman, 63, farmer of
three and one-half miles southwest
of Jenera, escaped with severe
bruises when he was pinned beneath
the steering wheel of tractor which
overturned while he was operating
it on his farm Monday evening at
o'clock.
Following the mishap, Russman
was removed to the Bluffton Com
munity hospital for observation over
night. On Tuesday he went to the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Leroy
Traucht, of South Main street. He
left for his home, Tuesday night.
The accident occurred when Russ
man lost control of the tractor while
hauling a load of soybeans from a
field to his barn. When the vehicle
overturned, he was pinned beneath
the steering wheel. His son, Merritt
working in the same field, saw the
accident and summoned help to assist
in raising the tractor from his
fathers body.
The elder Russman was brought
to the Bluffton hospital in the car
of Orval Crates, a neighbor. DR.
F. D. Rodabaugh was the attending
physician.

Possibilities Of Future Oil Development
Will Depend On Showing OF Test Well

Possibilities of reviving an oil
field in the Bluffton area which
fiourished here at the turn of the
century will depend largely on the
showing of test we'll to be COM
pleted on the John Boehr farm north
of town within the coming week.
The we'll, it is reported, has been
sunk to a depth of 1000 feet and
drilling operations likely will be
completed by the end of this week.
If indications are favorable, the
well will be shot to determine its
oil producing possibilities and the
results may largely determine the
course of future operations in a
venture financed by Findlay and
Toledo capital.
In anticipation of success of the
test well, the same interests have
leased drilling rights to some 1000
acres of surrounding farmland. Two
wells at comparatively shallow depth
were drilled by DR.. J. F. Rudy,
Bluffton physician during the 1900
oil boom. Altho the wells were non
producers, the belief has persisted
among oil men that that area has
definite possibilities.

Three new HOMES
ARE BEING BUILT.
HERE THIS FALL.
Renewed Building Activity in
Bluffton's Residential
Section
Interior Finishing Nearing
Completion i'm Two Other
Houses

A renewed burst of activity in
Buttons residential building pro-
gram has seen the start of three ad-
ditional new homes within the last
month, with work continuing on two
others started at earlier dates.
Construction of foundations was
under way last week on the residen-
tial properties of Harry Mericle,
South Main street, and Don Martz,
who is building in the Sunny Acres
addition near the intersection of
Cherry street with the County Line
road.
Mericle's home is being built on
the front of his lot adjacent to the
property owned by Miss Ocie An
derson, and in front of the garage
which he has been using as a tenn
porary residence.
Martz's home will be IN the first
lot east of the Maynard Geiger
home, in the Sunny Acres addition
opened last spring by Harley Burk-
holder.
The third new home is a residen-
tial building erected by Fred Swank
on Riley street near the foot of Jack
son street. In this project the first
story framework has been complet-
ed.
Two other homes on which exterior
finishing is nearing completion are
those of Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin Roda-
baugh in the King addition on Har-
mon road, and house being built or
w. Elm street by Lloyd Krofft which
will be occupied by Krofft's son-in-
law and daughter Mr.. and Mrs, Ear
Stober of Fett apartments.
The early fall squirt in construc'
ton activity has been spurred b.
the hope Of getting the structures
under roof 50 interior work can b
continued after bad weather sets ii
during the winter season.

ANOTHER new
STORM SEWER
TO Be BUILT
Contract Let for 800 Foot Line
at Foot of North Jack
son Street
New Construction Will Relieve
Overloaded Sewers on
Riley Street

Construction of a new storm sew
er from the junction of North
Jackson. and Riley streets to Riley
creek will be started within the
next week or 10 days, to relieve
flooded conditions on that section
of Riley street following every heavy
rain.
Fifteen-inch concrete tile will be
used in construction of the new sew
er, distance of approximately 800
feet from the street to the stream.
Contract for the work has been
let to Charles E. Kohl and Son, of
Lima, who last week installed a
new sewer on College avenue from
Main street to Riley creek.
Need for the storm sewer at the
junction of North Jackson and Riley
streets is another evidence of the
fact that the town has outgrown its
75-year-old network of drainage
sewers, it was pointed out this week.
PRESENT SEWER LINES Too SMALL
Much of the water which now
floods Riley street during heavy
rains comes from as far away as
four blocks up Jackson street, with
present sewers unable to handle the
heavy flow of surface water.
Although there are manholes along
the route, storm sewers soon are
filled, and the water flows over them
down the course of Jackson street
to flood homes at the foot of the
street where it joins Riley.
Previously there has been no di-
rect storm sewer outlet from the
street intersection to the creek, and
