DECLARED JOHN WILLIAMS AS
sAULTED HER AND HAD
HIM ARRESTED
Assault and Battery Cases Took Up
Saturday Afternoon in Judge
Huffman's Court

An assault and battery charge pre-
ferred against John Williams by Mrs.
Gertrude Fehmer, middle-agel Ger
man woman residing near Frenchtown,
was heard in Judge Huffman's court
late Saturday afternoon, resulting In
a dismissal of the case. Mr.. Williams
is in charge of an irrigating ditch in
that section of the county and Mrs.
Fehmer was taking water from the
ditch for the purpose of irrigating her
lands.
When Mr.. Williams and his hired
man, John Kemmet, went to remove
the boxing from the ditch Mrs. Feb
mer and her son put up a stout resist
ance. 1t was necessary for the hired
man to hold the boy, while Mr.. Will
liams endeavored to remove the box
ing. This, according to the testimony,
was a pretty strenuous job, as Mrs
Fehmer, with her German blood aflame
successfully defied Mr.. Williams by
sitting down on the boxing and re-
fusing to bulge. In the heat of the
argument Mrs. Fehmer testified that
Mr.. Williams threatened to throw her
in the ditch and drown her.
1t was proved pretty conclusively
that Mrs. Fehmer was appropriating
the irrigating company's water without
permission and as both Mr.. Williams
and Kemmet denied having used any
force the court dismissed the charge.
Immediately after the trial Kemmet
was given a chance to defend an as
sault and battery charge preferred by
William Guse, who took sides with
Mrs. Fehmer in her trouble with the
irrigating company. A few days after
the trouble with Mrs. Fehmer Kem-
met was repairing the ditch near her
came up. Guse was telling the neigh
bors how shamefully Kemmet and
Williams had abused Mrs. Fenmer,
when Kemmet ordered him to desist
and get off the company's right of way.
Guse persisted in telling of the trouble
when Kemmet suddenly jumped up
struck him across the back with the
fiat side of a shovel Mr.. Kemmet
pleaded guilty to simple assault and
was fined $40. The court costg wEe

lines to the river has followed his

Mr.. Rovick stated that as he had no

built down the river on the north side

wick endeavored to secure options on
certain pieces of ground, opposite Bla-
locks, and at Arlington, Ore. The
property that Mr.. Rovick wanted is
owned by Walla Walla parties, who
declined to give options but consented
to place in escrow in Walla Walla
bank the deeds to the property after
a deposit was made. These deposits
were made subject to a full payment

The actions of the C. N. company
have been mystifying, as it was orig

PITTSBURG, June 5-One week
ago. penniless and not knowing where
the next meal was to come from for
himself and family! Today, almost a
millionaire.
That, in a word, is what the last
week had in store for Spotty Mcbride.
After 80 years of fruitless work and
endeavor, Spotty Mcbride on Tuesday
last, drilled in the biggest oil well
in America which transformed his
condition from abject poverty to one
of wealth and affluence.s
Not since Goal Oil Johnny" was
making history in western Pennsylva-
MIA has there been such excitement in
the oil country as there is today in
Butler county, just across the Allie
gheny county line, and not more than
20 miles from this city.
The day after the we'll was drilled
Spotty was no different from what he
was the day before. All ne would say
was: THE new we'll will be known
as the Marie My little girl always
said that if struck oil, the we'll must
be named after her and l promised.
Everybody always laughed when the
subject was mentioned. The idea of
Spotty Mcbride ever striking any
thing. But here it is at last, boys,
and my little girls wish is satisfied"
Old Friend Weary
Two days before the Marie" came in
Spotty Mcbride pleaded, actually beg
ged, of John Newell, Pittsburg hotel
man and oil operator, and brother-in-
law of Daniel ODay, of the Standard
Oil company, to give him $500 for an
eighth interest in the hole. But the
limit had been reached.

time it was Mcbride who refused.

rived when he could drill q hole o,

rived when he. could drill q hole of
his own.
That was 80 years ago. Mcbride
had always been considered lucky. and
his first venture was watched with the
greatest venture by the oil men. The
well came in a dry hole and Spotty
went back to his old bootblacking
stand in the Hotel Lowry. He was not
discouraged and was soon pulling away
for another stake.
To relate the history of Spotty Nc
Bride from that time down to within
a month ago would only be a repeti-
ton of struggles and failures. Never
once in all those years did he meet
success. Every wen that he drilled
came in dry hole, but every time he
went back to the bootblack stand the
same old look of determination was on
his face.
Mcbride had married during these
years and children came faster than
money.
Had True Friends
In all his ventures ne was helped
out by friends, for everyone VINO knew
Spotty was his friend. They took their
turns, just as friends take turns sit
ting up with sick man. The results
were always the same.
Two months ago Spotty gathered to-
gether about 500 and announced to
his wife that he was going to make
one last effort. If that failed he would
give up forever the idea of striking
oil. Then he set about looking for a
lease. 1t had always been a standing
joke that Spotty picked out the most
undesirable looking territory, and
there was more than a smoker when
it became known that he had secured
a lease on the DR.. o. K. Waldron farm
three miles from the town of Butler.
The smoker developed into a laugh
when Spotty started to drill his we'll
within 800 feet of a previous we'll that
had come in dry hole.
The day that the Marie came in Nc
Bride left his nome in this city for
the Waldron farm. AS he left his
house he called back to his wife:
Mary, 1 won't be home until we strike
a 1000 barreller." She gave him
look of disgust for throwing his money
away. That afternoon she received a
telegram from her husband announc-
ing that the we'll was "in' and pro-
ducing 5000 barrels day.
The day before the work was finish
ed, Mcbride went to Peter F. McCool,
of the Standard Steel Car company,
and told him how bright things were
looking. On the strength Of this Nc
Cool furnished money for options on
22O acres of ground around the we'll.
Since the Marie came in they have re-
fused $1,000,O00 for their holdings. Old
time oil men say they are worth sew
eral times that amount.
The Marie has settled down to al
steady flow of 2,40O barrels a day, and
is still the biggest we'll in America
The oil is being piped by the Standard.
