Outcome of Well With No Little Interest Aroused
Interest runs high as the J. Harrison Rhymes well near Monroe is set for sheriff sale to satisfy Lester and Howard v Johnson Drilling for 850 dollars. The Slagle Johnson Lumber Co case led to a prior sale of 1925, with new actions delaying further production. The Rhymes well, 22-17N-4E, five miles from town, was abandoned at 2980 feet after oil showed at 1250. Parker Humble may test Thomas No 1 at 24-18N-4E, but Humble has moved away and may divest Monroe interests.
