FILE PROTEST AGAINST

Tucumcari, N. M., Oct. 13. The Pro
gressive society of San Jon, east of this
city, on the Tucumcari & Memphis rail
road, has sent a delegation to communi
cate with the railroad officials to pro
test against the abandonment of the
deep well that was being put down at

ter had been struck. At last reports

veloped, as the water is now standing
but 40 feet from the surface of the
hole. The well gang is now beginning
a new bore nine miles from Tucumcari,
where water is reported to be found
at a shallow depth.
