"I'd like to be one of bunch of fellows to back proposition to drill for oil i'll the vicinity of Prescott" said a prominent bus mess man a few days ago. And I'd put a good sized sum into such a venture for 1 believe oil can be found under us. There are a good many fellows around here that feel just as I do about it and would gladly contribute to movement of this kind" The names of the men he quoted as being ready to help are among our most substantial merchants and professional men. A short time ago there appeared in our Bodcaw correspondence, so able edited by the late Capt. T. K. Dunn, an interview with former resident of this county, who is now a geologist in the ser vice of the U. $. government, and it was his opinion that the indications hereaboutS were most favorable. Perhaps some of our neighboring cities who are about to drill will be success ful, then it won't be much of a task to organize a local company.
 If the fighting editor hadn't been thirty or more miles dis tant with the tax collector in the southwestern part of the county, he might have had plenty of work here last evening. The item that caused all the trouble was au innocent looking personal for E. A. Short and J. w.

The carrier boys had hardly gotten out the office be- fore our telephone registered various complaints about asso, ciating MT. Johnson with the local organization, and finally Mir. Johnson, having appropriated somebody's copy of The News, appeared in our sanctum to de mand retraction. We hereby apoligize to both the Association and MT. Johnson, mutual suffer CTS it seem, and trust the mis- take will not occur again.
 We hope no one will question the sobriety of The News force for permitting our weekly and daily issue yesterday to go to press under the date of February 3l instead of February 13. It was easier to get that figure 8 before the 1 than it is to get 31 days in February even in leap year
 This is the way one of our sub scribers cut in Texas hands it to us for negligence in the mailing department:

gates will vote for Fairbanks in the ma
tional convention as long as Fairbanks
has any chance. and will then throw
their SUPPORT to Taft.

PARIS, Feb. 4.-z-The Sagan- Castel-
lane case came up in the correctional
court today, having been adjourned
from January IA. Count Boni and
Count Jean de Castellane, his brother,
are charged with assault by Prince
Helie de Sagan early in January.
Answering question put by the
court Count Boni declared that he
could explain clearly the motives of
his animosity toward Prince de Sagan
by certain documents which he intend
ed to hand over to the court, but that
the intimate character of these papers
prevented their being made public.
Count Boni admitted he had spat
in the princes face and explained that
he had not sent seconds to his cousin
to arrange a duel as he knew that the
prince could not find anybody who
would be willing to represent him on
the field of honor
In spite or the fact that rney were
separated by law Count Boni had not
been able to restrain his indignation
and anger when he heard that the
Prince de Sagan was going to become
the husband of the countess. He con-
sidored also the interests of his chill
dren and was convinced that Prince
de Sagan could not be even a good
father to them. After hearing the tes-
timony of several witnesses Count Boni
was discharged,

If the returns from Inc Rapid City

anywhere near what they are expect
ed to on returns of new lands which

that source alone, Most of the lands
on which proof have been made the
last year are in counties in which the
assessment price runs from $40 an
acre to $13 an acre, only n county
going to the lower figure. The re-
turns from the land Offices at Pierre,
Chamberlain and Aberdeen show 5.4OO
new proofs and the other two offices
easily will run the total above 5000.
Stanley county alone shows 1885 new
proofs. which will add about 375,OO0
acres to the list, and the showing of
Lyman county is 1850 proofs, which
will add over 275,000 acres, the two
counties showing more than 100000
