Hmmm. I had a thought this morning after posting but had a busy day. I just looked it up: Saskatoon got its first municipal water treatment plant 10 years prior.
It’s likely that the well was unused/abandoned by that time, particularly due to the fact that the Shore Hotel was erected in 1912 on the site. I wonder how accurate their dating method is to reach 1916-1918, especially due to the bias of preservation from the gasoline contamination. Because it would be logical that someone with knowledge of the hotel construction would choose an old well to deposit a barrel containing a body that would be buried seemingly forever under a hotel.
Ya know? Otherwise, the body would have been discovered DECADES ago.
If a sleuthing investigator dug deeply, it’s likely they could discover a serial murderer of the region.
Where there’s one...
“Runnin’ Back To Saskatoon”
There’s a province up in Canada that’s right next door to ours.
It’s called Saskatchewan.
And, uh, in that province there’s a small town, uh, where nothing much ever happens, called Saskatoon.
This is a tune about that town.
This is called “Runnin’ Back To Saskatoon”.
