INDIANS DEMAND
BONUS TO LOCA {
Big OIL SPR NC
Rich Discovery Said to Have
Been Made by Red Men
on Reservation.

PukwaEa. S. D.. Oct. 3l.-Rumors of
the existence Of oil in the bluffs OF
Buffalo county have been heard several
times, but no evidence to ~substnatiate
the rumor has been produced until last
Saturday when an Indian from the res
ervation came to Pukwana with a
quart can of pure crude oil, which no
declares oozcs out of the ground at the
foot OF a bluff on the reservation. The
oil from the spring, he declares, has
accumulated there and formed q pool
which contains probably 80 barrels, and
the sample which he had with him was
dipped from this pool.
The Indian says the oil Will burn
readily. He has often dipped fire wood
into il. and when the wood is fred II
burns f%uriously.
Another Indian, Wallace Ashley, who
is well known and reliable, confirms
the report, and saws that he has seen
the oil spring and describes il sub
stantiaIly as stated. They both refuse
to divulge the location Of the spring
without a guarantee Of a cash bonus
for the information which they insis,
should be 81, 900.
An Investigation will be made to OBJ
tain further evidence of the presence
of oil in that region.

But" says the colonel, this baby

one in the family TO have two sets of
six. Now that he is balanced all around,
he makes rather a fit youngster.
II am expecting great things of the
boy, especially If he has any musical
talent. Think what he would do on

Why, he would discover harmonies
