WELL, NOW
PARKERSBURG, W. Va., (/P)—
Everett Hostetter started out to
have a wiener roast in his back
yard and it now looks like he
will wind up with a gas well.
After the roast Hostetter and
his family scattered the coals.
Next morning they discovered the
fire still burning. Four times they
tried to put it out but nb “luck.”
Suspecting gas seepage, Hostetter
then dropped a match on the
ground and it blazed up. There
are no pipelines nearby.
Although he has received an
offer to lease the ground Hos
tetter, an employe of the Ameri
can Viscose Corp., plans to de
velop his own backyard bonanza.
