recommend it. More than this it's
use will not likely be curtailed by
its very slight cost over other
building materials.
The factory here in Philip will
meet with success, and this will be
especially true if we are able in
the near future to get cement
shipped here at q much cheaper
figure than now. In that event
the cement block will for many
purposes supplant other building
materials. Anyway the new in

couragement.

the first real deposits of the Devon
ian age.

the first real deposits of the Devon
ian age.
Following up this evidence we
may conclude that the mineral oil
is product of organic matter but
is not necessarily confined to the
Devonian times. The period of
oil making may have extended on
through the carboniferous into the
reptilian age. Being carbo-
hydrate, oil may he considered a
product from the remains of sea-
weed as we'll as sea animals.
Arriving at this conclusion we
may turn to the study of the
different conditions during the
different ages and country passed
through. 1t is conceded by good
authorities that the lower sections
of both Stanley and Lyman coun-
ties are covered with cretaceous
deposits, dating back to the reptil-
ian times. At this age the North
American continent was partly
submerged from the Gulf of
Mexico, along the base of the
Rocky mountains, to the mouth of
the Mackenzie river and the
waters Of the gulf stream passed
this way through a shallow channel
and through = very long time was
the home of the large saurians and
all the other species of the large
reptilian family. Besides there
were sharks aud fish of every des-
cription and seaweeds of great
size grew in great profusion and
sponges grew on tho bottom of
the sea.
Then came the gradual uplift,

which forced the animals to come

dan BierWagen

Ever since the discovery of ma
tural gas at Pierre in the early
nineties. there has been much
speculation in the minds of many
concerning the probable existence
of mineral oil and this with con-
siderable good reason. To prove
this is the object of this article.
To 60 on a search for oil we
should first know the origin of
mineral oil. or at least we should
know during what age in the past
life of this world it was produced.
We can draw valuable informa-
tion from older and we'll explored
oilfields.
Both the Trenton limestone and
the Utica and Hudson river shales
afford in some places mineral oil.
In Kentucky the blue limestone
yields oil. The limestone of the
Paleozoic time of the Devonian
era or the age of fishes in some
places abounds in mineral oil.
The oil wells at Enniskillen west
ern Canada are traced to this rock
by Hunt. The black shales or
Genesee shale is remarkable as an
oil yielding rock. This is true
in New York and all through the
west wherever it has much thick.

Uncle Ham Dead

Last Monday morning Oscar
Hammond, better known to the
world at large as Uncle Ham, died
at the Morrison home just south
of town. The deceased had been
gradually failing in health for
sometime, but seemed as lively as
usual Monday morning. He spent
the morning choring about the
barn, and at noon. when dinner
was ready, he was found dead,
peacefully sleeping in the hay
NOV. like one who had grown
weary of life's manifold cares and
had laid down to rest.
So closes the life history of one
of the most remarkable men that
has ever lived in this locality. He
was a picturesque character, one
of those individual landmarks,
that give a strikingly original cast
to the human landscape, and leave
vague sense of something oddly
missing when they are gone.
Nobody pretends to know how
old Uncle Ham was. Those who
know most about his peculiar life,
believe that he was more than
ninety. Sure they are that he was
man of mature years when he
left his boyhood home in western
New York and came to GAINESVILLE,
Wis, in 1874.
Soon after Uncle Ham came
west he became stage driver. an
occupation that he followed with
few Interruptions almost up to the
time of his death.
In the latter forties the deceased
was driving a stage out of Winona,
Mimi, but he caught the gold
fever and became forty-niner.
In 1852 he returned from Cali
fornia by way of Panama, and just
about the time the Civil war broke
out, had gone back to his old occu-
patton of stage driving, and was
one of Ben Halliday's drivers on
the old Atchison stage line. He
pushed ahead of the Union Pacific
railroad westward after the war
was over. and finally when the
railroad was completed, Uncle
Ham drifted into the Black Hills
in search of more stage driving.
In the latter seventies he became
driver on the old Bismark and
Deadwood line. When that line
was discontinued, he transferred
to the new Fort Pierre and Dead
wood line, and for many years was
one of the picturesque figures of
the old Deadwood trail. Lately
he has been driving various mail
stages in this locality. A year
ago Uncle Ham quit stage driving
as steady occupation, but he has
never been quite contented away
from his coach and horses.
Uncle Ham never married, and
20 far q is known he left no living
relative. He had made his home
for several years with F. f.
Morrison, and 1t one time had a
homestead just south of where the
town of Philip now stands.

PoUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. June 20.
Harry X. Thaw will leave Pough-
keepsie this morning in the custody
of Under Sheriff John Townsend. who
will produce him in the supreme
court at White Plains, in obedience to
writ of habeas corpus issued.
Mr. Thaw will be accompanied by
his new attorney, Charles Mauschau-
ser of this city, who will ask Judge
Mills to grant jury trial and to or
der him detained in any place other
than the Matteawan asylum until the
question of his sanity has been ad-
judged by a jury.
AS the question of Thaw's right TO
jury trial was not raised In the first
habeas corpus proceedings before
Justice Morschauser. who decided
that Thaw was insane and ordered
him recommitted to Mattewan. 1t
leaves a new issue TO be presented to
Judge Mills.
From the room in the Poughkeep-
sic jail Thaw gave out a statement
in which he says:
Before the last writ was secured
we knew from our alienists that my
sanity was perfect. and therefore
made no adequate preparation for
the hearing before Judge Morschau-
ser. The doctor at Matteawan told
my lawyer and me, and told Dr. Pill
grim the middle of April, after had
been there 10 weeks. that he and DR..
Lamb had watched me carefully and
that they were positive that had not
the slightest symptom Of paranoIa.
After what he had stated TO all these
gentlemen we we're not prepared for
the way he testified.
lin consequence of this. although
Mr.. Jerome did not prove that was
not sane, we did not prove my sanity
as thoroughly as we should have
done, and my short testimony late
the last night did not improve our
case
"All the doctors who have seen and
examined me have no doubt Of my
sanity whatever, except DR.. Baker.
and until the writ was served and he
visited New York no one could be
more positive than he was that had
no delusions OF any kind and was
free from paranoia.
Ny counsel do not wish me to re-
turn to Matteawan. nor do !. After
the confinement to which have been
subjected the association with Grim
inal lunacties might ruin my health.
The fact that am well mentally
and physically after two long trials
and IS months in the tombs and three
months at Matteawan in itself prac-
tically proves that my condition f.
normal in every way"

PasOn of Court for Setting Aside
the Receivership

er OF receivers, it was NOT ,ntor5oa
'nat a court or Judge should take
charge OF the property of a private
corporation through its receiver and
operate it as is contemplated bv the
order OF the judge in this case.
II. Where it appears that a re-
celVer is sought to forestall the ac-
ton OF creditors in the collection Of
thelr claims and the corporation Is
solvent the judge has no Jurisdiction
to appoint receiver.
IL. A court of equity has no iuris-
dlctlon to undertake the management

order to pay the creditors and save
something to the corporation. Its
DUTY is temporary and limited to car

when 1t is apparent that the receiver
snip is for the purpose Of delaying
creditors.
IL. Held, under the facts of this
case that the judge had no jurisdic-
ton to appoint a receiver and that the
peremtory writ of prohibition should
issue.
IA. Under our statute of law.
there is no jurisdiction for the ap-
pointment or continuance of a receiv-
er of a private corporation for the

money to pay its debts.
Is. The jurisdiction of the court

the appointment of a receiver is to
prevent creditors from enforcing their
claim by due process of law.

special duty to the public and their
continued operation is not a matter
of public concern, and the court in
cases of receivers should not go be-
yond the protection and preservation
Of its property for its creditors.
II. A court of equity will not APP
