Oil hopes rise in Amarillo drilling push gains pace
Amarillo readers hear of Harold English and Thornton Oxnard pushing a new drill site southeast of town at 5200 feet with an eight inch bit in an open hole.

The piece also covers election anxiety, a plane of varied anecdotes, a Louisiana lynching, and local personalities.
