TRIGQNiA WELL
IS DELAYED BY
I
At the stockholders meeting of the
Trigonla Oil and Oat company t the
public library lust night JC. L. Josey,
the speaker of the evening, stated
that work on tho well hat boon re
tarded by an act of some "wlschevl
ous" pcrsou or persons.
During the Christinas holidays the
well was left unprotected and some
one dropped several largo chunks of
steel down the hole practically plug
Ring It. Mr. Josey in a 'spirit of
charity characterized this person or
these persons as "mlschievious." Puo
to Ignorance of the presence of the
steel the drilling crew continued to
drill and after three months have
Succeeded In' penetrating "nine feet
thru steel. The last shift of drilling
put the drill down 1 4 feet. Tho com
pany is again ready to start at the
rate of 1 4 feet per day., The well Is
now at a depth of 1390 feet. The
water which is above the 800 toot
level in cut off and conditions are
favorable for the resumation of drill
ing. ...
. - Ho commended the directors on
the care with which they have
bandied the funds and said that
altho some things might have been
done differently that the best meth
ods were used under thq circum
stances. Progress may have beeti
Slow and mistakes may have bee J
mado but one who never makes a
mistake never accomplishes anything.
In taking into consideration the
equipment at the well, said Mr. Josey
the cost of the well so far has not
been excessive and every dime has
been spent properly. All of the men
in charge are capable and experienced
and Mr. Walt, the driller, stated the
speaker, la a man of ability and thor
oughness in this line of work.
Mr. Josey states that the oil is
there beyond a doubt. Many people
have seen it Issuing from the well.
He states that the

large percentage of oil In the U. S.
la found are all present tn this val
ley. In addition to these convincing
points in favor of continuing opera
tions, Mr. Josey read a table com
piled by the U. S. Geological survey
which listed Oregon as an oil pro
ducing state. This he states is recog
nition and a great point in our favor,
as several states were not even men

In commercial quantities was discov
ered, and urged tho people to find
a way to continue the drilling and
uncover the oil.
Mayor Gates spoke urging the
people to subscribe to tho continu
ation of the work. Ho Kld that he
regarded It as a gamble and advised
everyone else to do likewise, but to
subscribe, as much as they could af
ford to on a gamble. The gamble, be
stated, however seemed to htm an
exceedingly good one. He said that
no button-holing would be done to
procure the necessary funds but that
co-operation was expected. He urged
the citizens to Invest In the develop
ment projects of their own state in
stead of projects for development in
other sections of the country.
It will take $10,000 to put the
well down to the "000 foot level, but
production la expected' before 2000
feet la reached, nceordlug to Mr.
Josey. If tho necessary funds are
procured to continue, Mr. Josey will
stay here and direct tho work until
the well is finished.
A large number of people attend
ed the meeting and applause greeted
Mr. Josey and Mayor Gates at several
points in their addresses.

AVhflo the Ku Kluxers were stlpu

complete collapse. The raiders, much
alarmed, gathered around him and
tried various ways of resustlcatlon
with but little apparent Bucceim.
They finally became so frightened
that they brought him back to Mod
ford, where the victim apparontly all
right again was deposited from the
car on Gcnessoe street, told that he
was free to go and warned that if
bd ever uttered a word about the
doings of the night and his experience
he would be killed. All the cars in
the party had their state licenses re
moved or covered up.
Then apparently Hale fainted away
again as the Ku Klux Klan drove
away. It seems that he shortly after
wards went home and telephoned for a
physician.
It, is known that Sheriff Terrlll and
Deputy Sheriff Forncrook worked on
the caae the rest of the nigrht nnd all
day today, but neither of them could
be found to be questioned as to what
knowledge gained, if any, and as to the

to think tho Ku Klux kidnaping was of

tain of policy detectives here upon
reports of an arrest in Mexico or
Calexico of a suspect in tho William

C. Dorau, chief deputy district attor-

reason to place credence in the ruporti

Captain of Detectives David L.
Adams, said he believed the report was
without foundation. The report of an
arrest by Mexican officials at Mexican
Lower California, or a former Cana
