OIL WELL SHOT TODAY • The oil well on the Joseph Andrews farm, five miles southwest of this city, was shot at 3:10 this afternoon, with a slight showing of oil. The well was drilled by Ezra Habegger of east of the city. H. C. Humphries of the Independent Torpedo company, Portland, shot the well, using 100 quarts of nitro-glycerine. It was a beautiful shot, but there was no sign of oil. Later one bucket of oil was lifted and it was decided to wait an hour before trying it again. Experts present expressed the opinion that the well would not be good enough for pumping. Several hundred peo-ple-witnessed the shooting.
