ROCKWELL CITY CONCERN FAILS
Investors in Sac Oil and Gas Company
Stand to Lose.

Stdhd TO Lose,
Rockwell City, \ pril 26.--The Sac Oil
and Gas Company, in which quite a
number of Rockwell City people We're
interested to the extent of a few tllous-
and dollars, has failed and gone into
the hands of a receiver.
Tnis company was organized at Sac
City u year or more ago by one s. A..
Scout, an expert oil man of Indiana,
with an authorized capital of 100000,
for the purpose of sinking a number
of experimental oil wells in Sac and
Calhoun counties. where surface indi-
cations In numerous places are said TO
be most encouraging Several of Sac
City's most influential and wealthy
business men, including Judge Elwood,
who is president of the company. took
a liberal quantity of the stock in the
enterprise. Some OF Rockwell City's
business men also took a few good
sized blocks of the stock.
Instead of sinking the test wells here,
as contemplated, Mr.. Scott induced the
company TO lease oil lands in Indiana
and use the capital stock that was paid
in in sinking wells there, from which
lit was claimed that the stockholders
would realize immense profits from the
beginning, and these profits would in
turn be used in putting down the Iowa
wells. The plan seemed to be a very
feasible one, and some OF the stock
holders visited the Indiana fields and
at once became deeply imbued With
Il spirit of enthusiasm over the promis-
ing outlook. The wells were sunk in
the midst of oil-producing territory,
but whether oil was found in paying
quantities in these particular wells IS
not known, at least not to the Sac Oil
and Gas Company.

Governor Cummins May Not
Approve the Meandered
Lake Bed Measure
HEARING TO BE HAD THURSDAY
The Entire Drainage Legislation to Be
Gone Over But Biggest Fight Is Be-
ing Made On What Is Known as the
Meandered Lake Bed BiII-Many
Acres involved.

/ Des Moines, April Ex-Governor
Cummins may veto the meandered lake
| bed bill. The governor has given out
10 direct information to this effect but
| friends of the measure expressed the
fear Tuesday night. The governor will
be home this week and has fixed upon
Thursday as date for hearing on all
the drainage bills which were passed by
the legislature and which were held up
for his signature pending his absence.
1t is taken for granted that the other
drainage bills, including the Hogue
measure, which is opposed by Judge
Oliver will be signed
The meandered lake bed bill is the
one upon which the biggest fight will
be made. E. b. Evans, of Des Moines,
representing Callahan and Slavery of
Des Moines and other swamp land
owners, and Phil Schaller of Sac coun-
ty, will appear in opposition to the
measure.
The story of the meandered lake beds
IS an old one. 1t started with the
swamp land grant of SO, when the
swamp lands We're granted to the coun
ties. The counties in turn ceded the
swamp lands to the Emigrant Land
Company which proposed to bring en-
igrants into the country.
The titles to these lands for the most
part were brought up by Callahan and
parcelled out 10 purchasers. 1t is
Al \,
dered lake beds which were not in
cluded in the original surveys were
really part of the swamp land
grants.
The bill. which will come up before
the governor for signature, would place
the title to these meandered lake beds
in the state with the right to sell. The
owners of the swamp lands claim that
court decisions have held that the right
and title to these lands rests in them
and that the action of the legislature
would effectuHly stop them from APP
pealing to the ca@-ss Cor the purpose of |
showing their title They made a very |
strong fight before the legislature and |
will now carry their fight before the |
governor.
There are about 10000 acres involv- |
ed. Previous to the last season these |
lands were regarded as extremely VAL
liable. Last season many of them |
again became swampy but the pas
sage OF the drainage law would of it
self make them extremely valuable. |
The hearing promises to be extremely
and will bring out some in
.eresting points IN regard to the trans
Ter OF these lands.
The Webster Savings Bank has filed
articles of Incorporation with the sec
.etary of state, with a capital of $40
100. c. II. Boland is president and II.
