This the season of the year when
nearly every town is undergoing all
the agonies incident to commencement
exercises. The daily newspapers are
all showing galleries of callow youths
and pretty girls under the euphonious
heading, "Starting on life's journey, "
followed by the remarks of the fat trus-
tee as he presents the beribboned dip
Tomas to the graduates. It is all very
intesesting to those related to the start
ers, but trifle mon otonous to the aver
age reader. Forsyth can't furnish
such Il production this year, nor next,
but in two years we will have little
graduation class of our own and try
and introduce some new features into
the program for the entertainment OF
the public.

have four claims, all showing ore. A
20 foot tunnel driven on one claim is in

The case of w. c. Mcdowell VS..
William " off, a suit for $500 damages
for trespass, was concluded in the dist
riot court at Miles City on Tuesday
and resulted in a verdict for the plain
tiff in the sum of $l45. This case has
attracted considerable attention from
stockmen of this section since it is one
OF the first jury trials in which range
rights, the cause of so much trouble
between sheepmen and cattlemen, are
defined. The plaintiff averred and
introduced testimony to sustain that he
was the owner of certain unfenced
lands in Custer county, near Branden-
berg. that the defendent about year
ago was warned not to Craze band of
1900 sheep on these lands, making the
range unfit for plaintiffs stock. De-
PENDENT persisted in doing so and plain
tiff asked for damages in the sum of
$500. The defense maintained that
as the lands were unfenced they had a
right to Craze their sheep there. The
jury, which was made up partly of
townmen and partly ranchmen, re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff, as
sessing the damages at $145.

1t is a difficult matter nowadays to
work up any excitement in Forsyth
over the alleged discovery of wealth
hidden below the ground back in the
hills-past experiences having made
the town people a little bit cautious
about believing every tale brought in
by wandering sheep herders or COW
punchers. When B. J. Holloway ar
rived in town on Monday, however,
and displayed bottle containing
crude oil which he claimed to have Sc
cured near the Missouri river, in Daw-
son county, and expressed a desire to
interest some one who wonld go back
with him and stake ont a claim, he
had little trouble in inducing two 9TH
ers to enter into a satisfactory agree
ment. According to Mr.. Halloway's
statement, he located the spot over
twenty years ago, while employed on
the range and observed unmistakable
signs of oil. AS he was busily engag-
ed in other pursuits which promised
better returns at the time he made no
further investigation and the matter
finally passed from his mind. TIE
wonderful strikes in the oil region of
Texas, and the rapid development of
the country, made such strong i'm
preston on his mind that he concluded
that he had overlooked a valuable find,
and he resolved to go back over his old
stamping ground at the first oppor-
tunity and see if he could locate it.
He made the trip alone and succeeded
not only in locating the exact spot, but
gathered enough oil to make showing,
and as he is known in Forsyth, came
here for the purpose of learning what
steps to take towards securing his
rights as discoverer. Judge G. +.
Smith and M. J. McEvans have gone
into the venture with him, and if on i'm
vestigation, the oil materializes, they
will organize the Missouri Valley Oil
Developing Co., and proceed to sub.
scribe stock. Mr.. McEvans, under
the guidance of Mr.. Holloway, left for
the new oil fields yesterday and will
make a thorough examination. The
prospect is located in Dawson county
about 100 miles north of Forsyth.
A portion of the white mans burden
