Water well drama ends with blast but no water
In Bath, Maine, William B. Kendall of Bowdenham had Brown Brothers drill an artesian well near his sheep wash. Water flowed during tests but later failed to appear after rains. Dynamite blast damaged the roof yet yielded no water, leaving Kendall to seek next steps as drillers report past success with 500 wells. Other notes mention Paul Fitzgerald’s alderman candidacy and visits by Bath city officials to the Ninth Crude school city.
