Show Baldwin- D 1170 A I would say about twenty- five per cent of the time, probably. Q The other seventy- five per cent of the time you would have trouble with the sand bars? A Yes sir. MR. FARNSWORTH: We object to counsel leading this witness. He is the only and that knows about the river. I don't think counsel ought to lead so continuously. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q What is the greatest length of time you ever consumed in that trip down stream? A One trip to No. 2 well, as we call it, 22 twenty- seven or twenty- eight miles down the river, we got stuck about a mile and a half below Frank Shafer well No. 1 for a day and a half, I think it was; that is the longest time we were stuck, I guess. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: Q Stuck a day and a half, or took your a day and a half to make the trip? A The place where the river took four different courses, none of them was deep enough to float the boat. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Do you remember what month that was in? A I think that was in August, 1926. MR. FARNSWORTH: I don't understand whether he was a day and a half making that trip, or whether he was stuck a day and a half. 3142 |
