Oil al CIermOnt.

Considerable excitement has been
occasioned by the report that Nick
Rafferty, of Clermont found strong
flow both water and oil in drilling a
we'll, at depth Of 100 feet. When a
pail of it was taken out and match
applied to it, it burned with steady,
blush light. There seems to be no
limit to the amount of the flow. 1t
has been known for some time that
oil existed in the ground.

THF IOWA PICNIC.
Rev. Ashton Writes Interesting Letter
Concerning Annual Gathering

In East Lake Park, one of the many
beauty spots in Los Angeles, far away
from home but among host of good
old friends from Iowa, We helped to
celebrate Washington's birthday in a
most BETTING manner.
On the 22nd of February of each year
the Iowa Association of Southern
California hold their annual picnic
and elect their officers for the
ensuing year. AT each of these
meetings the attendance increases in
size and new and unique features are
added that bring additional Enjoyment
to the members. This year was no ex-
ception to this rule and / am very
glad we had the opportunity of being
present.
The meeting was called to or Ter at
one O'Clock. 5000 people were pre-
sent, all wearing Iowa badges and
jolly and happy. Each county estab-
lished headquarters on the grass, and
home papers were for sale in each
county.
After lunch the election of officers
was held After this. Major Melon
nell called the cid soldiers together
ami introduced DIR. Cook, who aroused
the "vets" by giving exact data re-
garding the forty mine regiments of
infantry, ten of the calvary and four
batteries of artillery that Iowa sent
to the front in the early sixties.
For the benefit of new members and
visitors Col. Dudrow explained how
the seedless orange and the apple
without core was produced by the
wizard Burbank, and the representa-
tive of the Pacific Preserving Co..
explained the California system of
preserving eggs. While we do not
raise the oranges in Iowa we do raise
some apples and Col. Dudrow's talk
was very interesting, but what
appealed to me the most, and appar-
emily to every one present. was the
preserving of eggs. By their system
eggs can be kept fresh for year or
more and the expense is only about
one-half cent a dozen. Anyone in
terested in this subject can get full
directions from the Pacific Supply &
Brokerage Co., 300 Severance Bldg.
this city, by sending two or three
stamps to pay postage and mailing.
But perhaps the greatest amount
of pleasure was experienced when
Hon. L. H. Conger, ex-minister to
China, was presented. Mr.. Conger
spoke with brevity but paid high
tributes to the men of our state.
The rush of tourists to this country
from the East and middle West still
continues. For the past ten days the
influx has averaged 1927 persons day.
The weather is fine and we are
ioath to leave this land of sunshine
and flowers. but we can't all live in
California and we expect to start home
next week. Rev. f. j. Ashton.

IMMUNITY CLAIMS.
Packets Arraign the Government for
Policy of Getting Information.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Attorneys for the
packers arragned the government to-
day sharply for the policy the declar-
ed they had, through Commissioner of
Corporations Garfield, pursued in the
investigation of the charges made
against the packers. Attorney John
S. Miller of this city made the opening
statement for the packers, declaring
that Commissioner Garfield had de-
clared in the presence of witnesses
that If he was allowed to obtain evi-
dence from the books of the packers
he would consider the evidence SO
gained to be the same as If it had been
developed before him in a formal hear
ing. He declared that he would prove
this by Commissioner Garfield himself
if the commissioner would take the
stand.
Mr.. Miller contended that under a
proper construction of the law there
could be no doubt that the packers
were entitled to immunity because of
their action in turning over to the
commissioner all the information
which he sought. An adjournment was
taken until Monday.

D. N. Crowley, One of the Earliest
Settlers in This City Passed
Away Friday Morning.
PNEUMONIA THE CAUSE OF DEATH
Mr.. Crowley Was III For Exactly
Three Weeks---Funeral Sunday
Afternoon.

Daniel NJ Crowley, one of the few
men who settled in old Reedsfort and
remained throughout all the changing
years, died at his home in the north
ern part of the city last Friday morn
ing at l o'clock, complications result
ing from a severe attack of pneumonia
being the cause of his sudden passing.
With Mr. Crowley at the time of his
death were his wife and children and
a number of other relatives He had
been unconscious for several hours
and all knew all day Thursday that
there was no hope of saving him. He
received the best of medical care and
attention but was unable to with
stand the ravages of pneumonia which
is especially deadly in this altitude.
The funeral was held from the Cath
olic church Sunday afternoon at
o'clock, the Rev. Bishop Lenihan of
Great Falls conducting the services.
The church was crowded to it's utmost
gain admittance. The pail bearers
We're all close personal friends of the
deceased, including John and Phillip
Laux, Jacob Holzemer, Matt Weber
Edward Mcdonald and Irene Desy.
After the usual services, the bishop
delivered a short but eloquent address
and the body was taken to the Cath
Ollie cemetery where interment was
made. Over thirty vehicles followed
the hearse to the grave.
Daniel NJ. Crowley was born in
Brasher Falls, New York, on the 18th
of January, 1850, making him 56 years
of age, lacking a few days, at the time
of his death. While yet a young man
he moved to Minnesota, where he
worked in the lumber region for a few
years. In 1876 he turned his face to-
ward Montana and upon arriving in
the Gallatin valley, decided to settle
three years when he came over into
the Judith basin and settled at Reeds
fort, now Lewistown. That was ir
1879 and this continued to be his home
until the day of his death. He tuilt
the second frame building in Lewis
town and was the first to engage il
either the saloon or livery business
here. He prospered in his new home
and had the wisdom to secure posses
sion of large tract of land which li~s
along the bank of Spring creek and
extending from the city limits 70" a
mile below the city.

Dan Crowley always took lively
interest in everything that tended to
build up his native place and was
known by all as a public spirited citi-
zen. He retired from active business
in the city three years ago to devote
all OF his time to his ranching and
stockgrowing affairs. He was a breed
er of fine horses and recently shipped
"a carload of racers and drivers east
which excited general admiration
throughout central Nebraska.
Mr.. Crowley was married August 80
1899 to Miss Annie e. Clancy, the
daughter of well known citizen re-
siding below this city. TO this union,
which was a most happy one, three
children We're born, two of whom, both
bright little boys, survive.
In the death Of Daniel M. Crowley,
the community loses one of it's first
and best citizens. He remembered his
friends by the hundreds and every one
of them will learn Of his death with
the utmost regret.

While it might look to the public to
be an easy matter on the part of the
state to secure conviction, Attorneys
Ayers and Belden are not indulging in
any over confidence. They believe that
they have u strong case but realize
that they will be met with some very
Skilfull work on the part of Attorney
John G. Huntoon, who has been en-
gagged to defend Sherman. Everyone
is more or less in the dark as to what

appearing and 1t Is now believed that
Mr.. Huntoon will fight the case out on
its merits. The fact that the young
man made such number of conflict
ing statements gives him something
to work upon and he will use this for
all there is in it, But how he Will de-
velop his defense Will not be known
| until the case Is called for trial
It is anticipated that there will be
| more or less difficulty experienced in
securing a jury. Everyone living in
or near this city has been kept fully
| informed on the case by the local pa
| pers and it will be an impossiblity to
| find an intelligent juror In Fergus
county who has not heard more or less
of the affair. The attorneys do not
expect to secure Il jury under two
days although the task may be easier
than they anticipate.
The trial OF the case will likely con-
sumo two weeks, depending largely
upon the nature of the defense and the
thoroughness with which each witness
| will be cross examined.

CANS WINS The CHAMPIONSHIP.
Twin Sullivan Goes Down in the Fit.
teenth Round.

woodwards Pavilion, San Francisco,
Ian 19.-Joe Cans, rejuvenated, put
up the fight of his life and knocked
ont Mike (Twin) Sullivan in the fif-
teenth round tonight. The issue of
the fight was hardly in doubt from the
first round. From start to finish Cans
was the aggressor and kept right on
ton of his man. Sullivan made sever
al brave rallies, but he could not hurt
the colored man, and finally in the
fifteenth round a series of lightning
right hand blows to the jaw ended
Sullivan's aspirations and put Cans
once more at the top of the lighting
baan The fight was fast and furious
from the start. Cans kept within
striking distance of his man at all
stages. Sullivan was clever and game
but could not keep the aggressive col
ored man away from his. Cans left
eye closed early in the fight and Sui
liyan kept playing for it, but at nc
time did he have the Baltimore boy in
distress.
In the eighth round it looked as II
the fight was over. Cans put in two
lefts to the heart and right to the
jaw. Sullivan went down, but was or
his feet in a moment, and Cans went
after him, swinging left and right

JAMES SHERMAN YESTERDAY en-
TERED HIS PLEA OF mot GUILTY.
ALLEGED MURDER OF SAMUEL STUDzNS IS ARRANGED BEFORE the
JUDGE OF the DISTRICT COURT AND PUTS IN THE USUAL Plea
PRISONER SHOWS NO CONCERN OVER POSSIBLE FATE

James Sherman, who, in a remarka-
BILE confession made several weeks ago.
said that he alone and unaided, killed
Samuel StudZinski, an aged Russian
Jew pawnborker. in his little cabin on
lower Main street, was arraigned be-
fore Judge Cheadle yesterday after
noon at . o'clock and entered a plea Of
not guilty
by Bailiff Silverthorne, his father and
Attorney j. c. Huntoon. County At
torney Ayers and Attorney O. w. Bel
den, who will assist in the prosecution,
represented the state.
When Sherman was told to arise and
enter his plea. his attorney stated to
the court that they would waive a
reading Of the information and enter
plea of not guilty. This was duly
Monday, Jan. 29th, was set by the
court as the date upon which the trial
of young Sherman will be started.
Throughout the proceedings yester-
day, the prisoner, who has such an
awful charge hanging over him, was
one of the coolest persons in the room.
There was IL delay of some thirty min
utes before the matter was taken IN
and during that time, Sherman talked
and laughed with those about him as
though he was common spectator at
| some msdemeanor hearing instead OF
| the accused at murder arraignment
That prison life thoroughly agrees
with him can be seen from his physi.
cal condition. He has grown fat Will,
| in jail and there is not line on his
| face which would Indicate even u mo
ment's worry over the possible fat,
himself to be the most remarkably
I, specimen in the annals of chiminology
| The more one sees him and contem
plates the circumstances surroundin
his unusual career, the more one
tempted to the query: What name
of man is this?''
There is much speculation as to tn
possible outcome of this famous case

Sullivan Went down again but came
and cool In the ninth Cans went at
his man again. a right to the heart
and a right to the jaw sent the white
boy down again, but he managed to
last through the round. From this
time on Cans forced the fighting fierc-
er than ever. In the eleventh he ap-
parently played with Sullivan and did
no great damage. In the twelfth Sui
livan braced up and sent some straight
lefts to Cans face. In the thirteenth
he was still strong and played for the
colored boys eye. He landed a hard
blow on the stomach that apparently
hurt Cans.
In the fourteenth Cans devoted his
attention to Sullivan's middle section
and landed half a dozen hard rights
In the fifteenth came the finish. A
right to the jaw staggered Sullivan
and quick as a flash Cans was after
him with several more accurately
placed blows. Finally left swing
struck the point and Sullivan went
down and out, with his head resting
on the ropes.
Cans impressed everybody by his
his splendid air Of confidence and his
aggressiveness. Sullivan showed q
great amount Of cleverness and much
gameness, but at no stage of the game
was he a match for the Baltimore ne
gro.

4 MOST MAGNETIC ORATOR
Evangelist Atkinson Has Been Ass0-

Revivals of the Day.

The Rev. 7. H. Atkinson, who has
in Great Falls for several weeks past,
will commence series OF services in
Lewistown Sunday, January 2Sth and
continue for several evenings. The
meetings will be held in the Presby

and church members are making eV-

evangelist in making his services
success. The Rev. Atkinson is recog-
preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ
today. He is eloquent and intensely
earnest.
Following is clipping from the
Great Falls Tribune concerning his
services in that city
"I have participated in meetings
that We're stirred by an emotion i'm
possible to describe; where the attend
ance was numbered by thousands on
thousands; wrere even larger audi
ences were denied admission for the
reason that the building was inade-
quate to the crush. But despite all
this, I believe that the most interest

| THE meetings on an average We're at
tended by about 1,2O0 persons, but the
| audience was of both sexs and these
We're the fallen ones from the streets.
What impressed it so indelibly on my
mind, however, We're the countless col
lege graduates who confessed to own

and there were lawyers, and there
We're doctors and there We're teachers
all penniless, emanciated, detected
haggard and hungry. Many were
slaves to morphine and opium, and
other drugs, that stealthily kill. There
was little semblance of manhood re-
gardless of where you should turn.
But mark you the finale-we dis
covered that beneath these dark ex-
teriors there We're chords on which we
might play; we found that it was pos
slble to inspire memories of brighter
