Reports reached the city Monday
morning that the Littlefield Bend
location had been made on the land
of John Estes, and that the derrick
timbers are now being moved to the
location from the Baiiew Springs
wen, and the rig wU] be Bet up as
Boon as possible and actual drilling
commenced. The location is practi-
cally in the center of the block of
acreage, and Is reported to be satis-
factory to ail concerned. This Well
will be drilled to a depth of 3500
feet unless oil is found sooner. The
location la In entirely virgin terri-
tory, being some two or three miles
from the nearest well to Palo Pinto
county. The (fillers have so much
confidence In the possibilities, that
the contract was closed with the
number of acres blocked, much
smaller than is usually blocked for
a test.
Reports Jj-om Poolville are to the
effect that the water line has been
finally completed and that drilling
was resumed Saturday afternoon, the
work continuing ail of Saturday
night Apparently there is nothing
that will now binder the rapid conv,
pletlon of this well. Plenty of water
in sight, the hard part of the winter
is over, and everything In shape for
continuous drilling.

Mrs. J. E. Shelton of Fort Worth,
wan seriously Injured, and others of
the party more «or less bruised and
lacerated, when the car in which
they were riding collided with an
abuttment of a bridge about nine
ml]es west of this city on the high-
way about midnight Sunday night.
Mrs. Shelton suffered a severe cut
on the fotehead, requiring a number
of stitches to dose the wound, and
she is probably injured Internally.
Her jB<m and daughter, and her
daughter’s husband, were shaken up
but not injured to any great extent.
Mrs. Shelton was rushed to this city
and Is -at the home of her long
time friend and former neighbor,
Mrs. I. W. Christian, where she will
remain for- a few days until prop-
erly restored to health.
While at her home In Fort Worth,
Sunday evening late, Mrs. Shelton
received a telephone message that
her. son had been Injured slightly
in a car wreck near Mineral Wells.
He was only slightly Injured, but
' “having a mother’s fear of more
serious injuries than had been re-
ported, she called her daughter and
her husband and they motored to
Mineral Weils after her son. They
were returning home when the
lights on their car suddenly failed,
and with the dash light still burn-
ing, the driver was Blinded, and
before he could stop the car, had
struck the buttress of the bridge.
Mrs. Shelton’s head struck the wind-
shield stays with such force as to
almost render her unconscious and
throwing her to the floor of the
car. The others were also thrown
about promlscousiy, but escaped with
no serious Injuries.
Mr. Shelton, who is a traveling
salesman for a Fort Worth wholesale
establishment, Is out on the road
and Monday morning the family had
not succeeded In reaching him with
a message of the accident.
The car was brought to this city
and was later loaded on a truck
and taken to Fort Worth for repairs
The car was damaged considerably.
