Ingenious Bradford man fights oil well blaze
Mr Vick Gretter of Bradford, inventor of the oil saver, extinguished a burning Anchor Oil Co. well on lot 647 after ten days. He used a six inch gun against the casing cap causing a blast that knocked off the head and swung an elbow with lead pipes to divert oil and starve the fire of fuel. The well burned about ten days and the loss is estimated at twenty thousand dollars. Gretter acted without a contract but expects compensation.
