Thrown and Killed.

Friday evening Robert Gilkey, eight
years of age was thrown from horse
and SO frightfully injured that he died
few hours later. He was riding without
the knowledge of his parents, and it is
supposed that while in the rear of the
Great Northern roundhouse the horse
became frightened and dashed him to
the ground. When examined it was
found that one arm had been broken and
his skull crushed.

SPRINGS OF OIL.
Thousands of Acres of Land Already
Taken Up.

1aAcA Up
For number of years the existence of
petroleum in Flathead county has been
generally known, but it has only been
during the past summer that anything
like systematic prospecting has been car
ried on. In fact what work has been
finished was so quietly done that the an
nouncement that such work has been in
progress will create no end of surprise.
During the past summer lands and roads
have been surveyed for a number of
Spokane, Butte and eastern capitalists
and thousands of acres taken up.
The oil fields, which have been worked
on for several months, are situated along
the north fork of Flathead river, Kintla
lake, Oil creek and Acimona creek.
Streams in this section are said to be
completely covered with floating oil and
many of the springs almost entirely CON-
posed of crude petroleum. The same
parties who have had this district sur
veyed have located about Sc square miles
of land just across the International
Boundary line IN British Columbia, but
there seems to be some difficulty in Sc
curing the right to develop the claims,
owing to the fact that the land is re-
served for the Canadian Pacific railway.
N. E. jenkins, who has just returned
from the oil fields, where he has been in
charge of the survey, was in the city
during the week and in answer to ques-
tions regarding the oil lands said: The
company having the work done is a
strong one. They have located about
$500 acres and there is plenty of oil on
all of the "A claims of 100 acres owned
by them which we have just finished
surveying. We have completed the sur
vey of wagon road 60 miles long lead
ing into Bolton, and the road will be put
into condition at once so that the neces
sary machinery can be taken in early il
the spring to commence drilling. W.
will also survey pipe line from the OF
fields to Coram, on the Great Northern
in short time and will rush the work.

Homo of Mrs. James Brown Potte
Is Unique in Many Ways.

A visitor to Mrs. James Brown Potter
in her London home says that her house
Is full Of beautiful things, but not over
crowded, and is kept, from the roof to
the wine cellar, in spotless perfection.
Although she eats little herself, and milk
is her favortte drink, she is an excellent
caterer, and her well-ordered board is al
time over her housekeeping, but all is or
gained SO well that a little suff1ces. It
Is the same with her large and rather
elaborate garden. When the gardeners
have set out the flowers, of which she is
so fond, she likes to take her garden i'm
plements and to work over the beds for
hours, changing the flowers about to
suit her fancy.
At present Mrs. Potter is building o.
country house at Maidenhead, and has
the work under her own supervision
With ceaseless activity sne has gone
about and chosen everything about the
house-moldfngs, mantels, doors, friezes,
kitchen fittings and all the rest She
visits the place constantly, and keeps
the British workman to his task.
However, she thinks nothing Of these
things. What she really fancies Is a
new pocket handkerchief of her own In
vention. Tho idea is to have something
small enough to tuck into the wrist of
the new tight-fitting sleeves. Hers are
Of finest linen lawn, five inches square
edged with tiny lace edging, and have
Cora" embroidered In one corner. She
ordered several dozen Of these, and so
many friends have taken up the idea that
she seems to have set fashion.

up to my reputation. In those days no
student went to bed thoroughly sober
unless he was dead broke and had no
friends. 1t was generally understood that
man had to feel his beer before he could
sleep well; and they managed to feel it
about seven nights in the week.
Financial reverses cut short my career
at Leipsic, and l came to America, like
so many of our young men. Thinking l
knew more about beer than anything else,
I took a position in a Brooklyn brewery
and worked there three years. OF course,
we were allowed all we wanted to drink,

claring that his friends overestimated his
capacity, admitted to a representative
of the Sunday Republic that for many
years he had consumed on an average
half a keg, or four gallons of beer
more than twice as much as the New
York champion.
Il don't drink that much now, he
said, because since 1 went into business
there is too much temptation to overdo
the thing, and I make wine and seller

beer until after supper.

should say that no regular beer drinker

The death in a New York hospital of
William Armand, the champion beer
drinker of the East, was the occasion for
much speculation as to the amount of
beer a man might drink with safety;
and incidentally for the republication of
Armand's record as a consumer of the
amber fluid. Papers in New York and
other Eastern cities gave columns Of
space to descriptions of the ability Of
the champion in his. peculiar line, and
much wonder was expressed that a man
could consume seven quarts of beer a
day, on an average, for twenty-five
years.
Many St. Louisans read accounts Of
his death, and the statements of his rec
ord with amused interest, says the Re
public. Seven quarts a day IS moth
ing" they said. "Why, we have men in
st. Louis who have far surpassed that
record year in ard year out, and nothing
was thought of It,"
Among those to whom the knowing
ones referred is Ernst Kurzenknabe, of
Third and Elm streets, former national
secretary of the Brewery Work
ers' Union of America, and one of the
best known citizens on the South side
His friends declare that Kurzenknabe
has consumed seven times seven quarts
of beer per day ever since they have
known him; and point to him as the
champion of ST. Louis.
