GREYBULL, Wyo., Oct. 2S.-(Special.(
Over a year ago a local company while
drilling for oil struck a strong flow of gas
product caught fire and has burned
steadily ever since. until a few days ago,
when the owrers OF the well capped it off.
Several months g the state authorities
became interested in the matter and made
an effort to have the owners stop the
waste then, but without avail. Public opin-
ion was so strong against permitting the
gas to burn that 1t was finally capped. 1t
is difficult to estimate the amount OF gas
consumed or it's value, but the flames shot
high in the air and the flow Of gas never
diminished. The one we'll will supply suffi-
cient gas to light a town OF several thou
sand Inhabitants and furnish all necessary
power for manufacturing purposes. At this
distance from the railroad, however, the
product il worth but little. The owners
of the we'll are searching for oil, and not
gas, and the other wells are being drilled
in tire hope Of striking the oil sand and
without much gas!

BULGARIA RELEASES TROOPS

ULT1MATUM COMES FROM POWERS
Recognition of KinEdOm as Indepen-
dent state Depends on Will
inEness TO Make Payment
to Turkey.

BERLIN. oct. 2S-p was learned hero
authoritatively today that the Bulgarian
government. in view Of the cessation OF
military preparations on the part Of Turkey
and acting on the ADVICE Of the powers. has
decided TO release tomorrow the 5000 re-
servists who have been held to the colors.
1t is hoped that this measure will reduce
the Tension between Sofia and CONSTANT
nople.
SOFIA. Bulgaria, Oct. S-The decision ~
Bulgaria to disband its reserves and make
a financial compensation to Turkey, was
brought about by the presentation of what
was practically an ubimatum by Great
Britain. France and Russia, who were
supported by Germany and Italy.
Identical notes from the first named three
powers were presented to the Bulgarian
government. They demand the disband
ment OF the Bulgarian reserves within three
days and the promise to send delegates to
Constantinople to negotiate the question
Of financial compensation for Turkey. 1t
was made clear that on compliance with
these demands depended all hope for the
recognition Of Bulgarian Independence. In
reply to these communications the Bull
sarian government signified its willingness
to conform to the demands therein set
forth.

SAMBURG, Tenn. oct. &-The ring
leader ot the night riders in this section,
It lie believed is a prisoner at Camp Memo
His name is Garrett Johnson. II is the
general opinion that johnson. ~ he can be
compelled TO talk, could tell more about
tho recent outrages than any other man
under arrest. Not less than forty men
alleged to have been connected. actively
with night riding in this territory are unde
arrest, and enough evidence has already
been collected to hang at least four men.
John F. Cochran, the man captured after
a chase on the lake, has confessed that the
night rider outrages have included the
whipping OF women. One woman was
whipped for leaving her husband and an
other for being Of ill-repute. Sc
The latest report to relch here from Tip
tonville is that Tod Burton, who made a
partial confession yesterday, has broken
down completely and duplicates 300 men
from Obion county. Even the oath taken
by night riders has been confessed, though
the officials will not make public It's word
ing.
The seventy or more prisoners now in
camp are closely guarded and Garrett John
son, the alleged leader. together with his
brother Tom, and William Watson, are
kept in solitary confinement. e.
The troops win be kept here for some

Secretary of General Arbitration
Board Takes This stand.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.-President
Roosevelt today made public a long letter
from Samuel b. Donnelly, secretary of the
general arbitration board of the New York
building trades, in which Mr.. Donnelly
upholds the president in his presentation
Of the record OF Judge Taft as set forth
by him in a letter to p. II. Grace OF Bling
hamton, N. Y, recently.
Mr.. Donnelly declares that the presidents
letter ably shoWg that Judge Taft Is not
an enemy of labor. From personal knowl-
edge Of Judge Taft's record as governor
of the Philippines and In Panama, where
he had extensive relations with labor, Mr..
Donnelly unqualifiedly supports the presi-
dents estimate of Mr.. Taft's character.
Mr.. Donnelly cites an Interpretation of the
federal eight-hour law reported in 1907 and
Mr.. Taft's longevity pay increase order of
that year as instances of the judges fair
ness toward labor. Continuing Mr.. Don
nelly said:
"The professional democratic labor work
ers who have been on the job in all recent
campaigns are leading the movement in the
east. No spontaneous movement against
Judge Taft has appeared among the work
ers and none but salaried officers are on
the stump against him. Those of us who
remember the labor conditions during the
last democratic administration are of the
opinion that If Bryan is elected or the
tariff is revised on the proposed demo
cratic plan Of "A tariff for revenue only,
we will all have plenty OF time for Jury
duty"

GUARANTY PRINCIPLE WRONG
Continued from FIRST Page.)

more notable than anywhere else, in Wall
street. where there Is lively speculation
in stocks-there would be a willingness to
pay higher rates Of interest for loans, and
correspondingly, banks and bankers would
be tempted to pay higher rates Of interest
on deposits than in places where conserva-
tive enterprises are the order OF the day.
What would this mean? Money would go
from localities where 1t ought to> stay,
would be taken away from legitimate en-
terprises that are sound and sane, and
sent TO speculative centers to be invested
and In many instances to be lost,
This would be the result: Permanent,
legitimate enterprises would receive a set
back: factories which ought to be estab-
llshed and enterprises which ought to be
undertaken could not obtain money be-
cause the capital of the communities in
which they are located would have been
diverted to other localities where the risks
are more numerous and extreme and where
higher rates of interest would be paid.
Under Mr.. Bryan's scheme the temptation
would constantly confront the over am
bilious and unconservative banker to make
loans which should not be made or to back
enterprises which ought not to be under
taken-ln other words, to plunge into spec
ulation as we had 1t under the greenback
craze. 5's-.'
Responsibility Essential in Banking.
You cannot make the business of banking
normal and as 1t should be unless there is
an adequate sense of personal responsible
iy on the part of the individual banker,
unless he knows he cannot lend or invest
injudiciously without Involving the failure
Of his bank and the reproach and loss and
shame which go with 1t. Now, If he feels
that the deposits of his bank will be repaid
to his depositors whether he manages the
bank well or i'll he will not renounce spec
u%lation, and he will be constantly open to
the temptations Of recklessness and per-
haps of dishonesty.
Again, what the depositnr wants is the
immediate payment OF his demands at the
moment 1t is made. lie wants his money
then. on the spot, not at some time later
on. No system OF guaranty that can be de-
vised would provide for the actual and
immediate payment OF all demands in a
bank situation such as that which we had
last year.

Countv seat Contest.

PIERRE, s. D., Oct. 2s.-Cspecisl)-Five
different counties in the state will vote on
county seat contests at the election next
week. In Hutchinson county an attempt will
be made to change from Olivet to Parks

change from Wheeler TO Geddes, In Wal
worth county the change is 10 be from
Bangor 10 selby, IN Gregory county Her
rick will try TO get the location from Fair
fax and In Lyman county Presho thinks
il would be a better location than OacOma.
There are more such contests this year
than at any time since statehood and they
are a reminder OF the contests OF terri
torial days, when at times the militia was
called upon 20 keep things quiet.
