“The Stump” artisan well has been around for many years. The well was drilled about 1930 by Clarence Barker for irrigation purposes. In the summer of 1931 Joe Ballif, who had a hamburger stand, had a portion of the well water piped to a spot just north of his stand. He obtained a cottonwood tree trunk and had the stump turned into a drinking fountain.
