The story is told that shortly after the drilling started, one of the Mur- rays consulted a clairvoyant to find out how the well would pan out and was warned that a man would be kill- ed. He is said to have passed the warning on to his men and advised them to be very cautious. Culbertson was killed a short time after Mur- ray’s return, ‘ Richland Co.
