started Chinaward with his well drill Tuesday afternoon. He has
worked pretty steady since that time and has now reached a depth
of about 95 feet.

late at night, which is sufficient proof of the need in this

far as we have heard, is giving satisfactory service.

Winnebago county soil yesterday, having bought a half section as
