Aroused Hunters
Kunkel Slams - . Door on Deal
. By ROBERT BLOEM ‘Times Stat Writer MT. VERNON, Ind, Jan. 15 A “dry hole” is an oil man’s term for an oil-less oil well. For oil men it means bad medicine, but a dry hole has saved the duck hunters’ paradise at Hovey Lake, The latest Hovey Lake crisis made headlines last week when irate sportsmen learned the state had leased the 900-acre lake tract for oil exploration. It was leased to Jess Murden, Republican railroad lobbyist and politician from Peru, in the dy-
ing hours of the late departed _
Republican state administration. Democrats screamed ‘“shenanigans.” Conservationists screamed that oil and ducks wouldn't mix. Now a dry hole between the leased state property and the nearest producing oil well a mile away has dampened the enthusiasm of oil meh. Mr: Murden’s enthusiasm also appeared to be dampened and he said today he was spending no sleepless nights over the matter—the state may return his $900 check without fear of a fuss, Slammed the Door Added to this was the fact that Kenneth Kunkel, newly appointed conservation director, has slammed the door on the Murden
{said he never would sign it and apto press the matter. Like any other state govmembers
Although the lease action was ken initially because of a feeling in some. circles that the state should get a cut of any {oil that's lying around under its property, loss will be small, At best, the state’s participation in the oil business has brought a relatively piddling return — not ore than $40,000 a year, reliable! sources say, from about three | dozen producing wells, On the other hand, the fight here will. go on. to see that no-
