He Says His Company Has
Not Stopped Drilling
OUT LOOK IS BRIGHT
The Butte Oil Company Owns 25,OOO
Acres Near Kintla Lake And
Will Push Active Work.

Eugene Carroll, president of the
Butte Oil company, says there is alb
solutely no truth in the story that
has been given some publicity that
the concern had suspended opera
tons.
"The Butte Oil company has not
closed down and has no intention of
so doing" he said recently.
"The company is stocked for $40,-
900 and has expended nearly that
amount in development work. We
have built a wagon road nearly 30
miles long, and represented $4,000
acres of land. We are noL trying to
sell stock or advertise the property,
but recently we decided to sell some
stock at par to those who might de-
sire to purchase.
"The company has one we'll about
700 feet deep and is erecting a der
rick and making other preparations
to begin boring a second. Early
spring will witness the commence
ment of the second hole.
1.-The company is not doing it's work
blindly Before operations were COM
menced, Professor Weed, of the
United States geological survey Wis
tied The field ana suggested the
spots on which the boring is being
done.
CAS- to the affairs Of the company,
I will say that the corporation is on
firm financial basis and has only a
limited number Oh shares of stock for
sale at this time in fact it is issu-
ing only few shares to pay the ex-
that all the shares will be worth
many times their present value when
oil is struck.
THE road built into the district
will make it an easy matter to con-
struct pipe line to Bolton, on the
Great Northern railroad, when oil is
struck.
There are numerous other COM
| panies advertising that they are do
ing business in the Kintla lake dis
trict, but our company has the choice
| locations, as it was the first on the
ground and was very careful in max
ing it's selections.
-. o. Bender has been manager
for the company since the inception
OF the organization. The last report
from him, received only day or two
ago, was to the effect that the we'll
now under way was being sunk with
great rapidity and that the slate
through which the drill was passing
was a very favorable indication OF
the presence of oil not great way
below.
"The machinery in use is of sufi.
cient capacity to enable the company
to sink to depth of 5000 feet, but
the prospects for striking oil before
that depth is attained are very fiat
terng.'

IN SPECIAL SESSION.
Beard of County Commissioners Held
a Meeting Saturday.

OSdIo " SOdiby ''S'S
a Meeting Saturday.
Board of county commissioners met
in special session Saturday at 10 a.
M, with all members present.
The bids for the construction of
the proposed bridge across Carriers
slough, in the lower valley, were
opened. All were rejected on &C
count of being over the estimate Of
cost, and the board decided not to
build a bridge until lumber was
cheaper than at the present time.
The board ordered the county as
SCISSOR not to assess any farm wagon
with a tire of three inches or more
in width.
The bids for furnishing the county
with $50 cords of wood were opened
and the contract was awarded to
Peter Schorn, Jr., at $3.50 per cord.
The claim of Theo Christensen for
$202, laid over at the December meet
ing, was reconsidered and $172.65 al
lowed.

GERMANY AND ENGLAND MAY
ARBITRATE WITH VENEZUELA

safeguarding the interests Of the pow
erS concerned.
The powers concerned will deal sole
ly with the United States in the matter
of arbitration. The government Of
Venezuela will not be consulted in any
form, not even as to the terms on
which arbitration might be acceptable
to the powers.
The forms and conditions to be OBJ
served in any settlement by arbitra-
tion are still the subject of an extern
sive exchange of views between the
powers and the United States, prior
to the embodiment of the several re-
plies in one harmonious instrument
Until this is elaborated no definite ar
rangement is possible.
Washington, Dec. 20.-The status of
the Venezuelan arbitration proposition,
on which everyone waits, is that. with
willingness to accept such solution
in principle, not one of the allies is
ready to submit unreservedly to arbi=
tration; in each case there were reser-
vations or conditions insisted upon.
Great Britain is favorable to arbitra-
ton with proper safeguards: Germany
accepts arbitration in principle, but
finds a multitude of small adjustments
to be made before entering into the
agreement Italy, as the junior part
ner of the allies declares that she is
favorable to arbitration, but will be
bound probably by the action Of the
senior parties.

Berlin, Dec. 20.-The answer Of Ger
many to the arbitration proposal, in
behalf of Venezuela, received through
the United States government, is its
acceptance. The delivery of this reply
to the United States for transmission
to Minister Bowen is delayed for day
or two for tactical reasons, probably
through the expectation that another
solution may be found, possibly by
President Castro yielding.
Four days ago the German govern
ment was in favor of rejecting arbitra-
ton, and that is understood here to
have been the temper of the British
foreign Office. While it is impossible
to trace the steps that led to reversal
of this view. 1t appears that the state
of public opinion in the United States,
, SO far as Germany is concerned, pro-
duced revision of the first idea.
The foreign Office has no information
to the effect that President Castro has
bestowed on Minister Bowen full pow
er to represent Venezuela in the set
tlement of the existing difficulties, but
such step toward solution would be
received with pleasure.

James Mitchell was the man who

CHEROKEE BILL
CAPTURED AT LAST

Denver, Dec 2O.-A Las Animas
says:
Cherokee Bill, the Carlton postoffice
robber. was captured yesterday on
Cat creek, near the head of Clay
creek. about fifty miles southeast OF
here. after a hot chase, by Henry Bal
ley, James Bailey and William Nc,
Afee. The only shots fired We're by
Henry Bailey. and while the outlaw
was not hit, they had the effect of
making him throw up his hands.
News was brought to Las Animas
Wednesday morning that Bill had
stopped at the Purvis sheep camp, on
Caddoa creek, the night before. Sher-
iff Dean deputized James Bailey to go
after him. Bailey, accompanied by his
brother Henry and McAfee, took up
the trail from the Purvis camp
Wednesday afternoon. followed 1t that
night and nearly all day Thursday.
They came in sight of Cherokee Bill
on Cat creek. and Immediately gave
chase AS the posse was closing in
Bill discovered them and started his
horse on the run to escape. For a
time the race was killing one.
Henry Bailey's horse was the fastest
one in the bunch and he gradually
overhauled Bill until he got within
seventy yards.
No attention was paid to Bailey's
repeated demands to stop and Henry
then jumped to the ground and began
shooting at Bill, who. realizing that
the bullets were coming too fast and
close for comfort, stopped and held up
his hands.
As soon as Bill was disarmed he be-
gan begging for morphine and whisky,
but his captors were unable to furnish
him with either,
The Bailey boys reached town this
afternoon leaving McAfee in charge of
the prisoner, whom they say is in the
hills south of town and will be deliv-
cred when the rewards are paid. The
Bailey boys refuse to turn the pris-
oner over to Sheriff Dean and have
written the Prowers county authori-
ties to come and get him and bring
the reward,
