PRIEST DROWNED
. ~, IL in DEVILS LAKE
Father Francis, Who Was Spending Some
Time at the Monastery on Devils Lake,
Was Drowned While Bathing and
= Body Not Recovered at Last
Account.

A Devils Lake specialof the 21st inst.
says: Report was sent to t h e city
Wednesday evening to the effect that
Rev. Father Francis was missing from
the monastery about six miles south Of
this city. on the banks of Devils Lake,
and a party went out to assist in the
search for him.
b. The priest went to take swim and
on not returning his friends went to
look for him, and found his clothing on
the banks of the lake. The lake was
dragged all night and the search con-
tinued next day, but as yet the body has
not been found.
Father Francis has charge of the
church at Richardton, and came to
Devils Lake last Tuesday for visit.
He is 30 years Of age and quite we'll
known throughout the state. He was
spending some time at the monastery.
,,- The laAisa:*at-.=t this point is a couple
miles wide, and has a fine and sandy
beach, which is shallow for consider
able distance, when it goes off deep
suddenly and It is the general suppose
tion that he went out too far and was
taken with cramps.

turned his back on the legal TECHNICAL
ties and ordered the well-boring to pro-
ceed. Already it was down a thousand
feet; it was a terrible risk to spend
more money, and illegal to boot, but he
took the risk.
Next morning the miracle happened.
To this day they tell of it. At 9 o'clock
the citizens were electrified at h e
sight of the mayor, coatless, rushing
from his harness store up the center of
the elroad, vainly striving to overtake a
workmen in better training a hundred
yards ahead. The citizens, scenting
something unusual, joined IN the chase.
At'the we'll everything was going up in
the air. At just 1,0l0 feet a terrific
flow of dry gas had been struck-a flow
that registered when they got it under
control 100 pounds pressure in eighteen
seconds, $50 pounds in forty seconds,
$50 pounds in one minute and twelve
seconds. Their eyes began to bulge as
the register ran, up 300, 400, 500 and
finally stopped at 900 pounds to the
square inch. That mayor is living yet;
but he smiles when you ask him what
would have been his chances of escape
from the lnfuriated citizens, with one
train day out of Medicine Hat, if the
gas had not come. That is merely one
of the chances they take in the West.

ROMANCE OF
MEDICINE HAT
How Merry Mayor Staked His Life Against
What Looked Like Mighty Dubious
Undertaking and Won Out for
His Town and Pe0- i
D.. ... ole. .'.-9

The discovery of natural gas in Medi-
cine Hat, Canada, is an interesting
story, says W. Lacey Amy in the Aug
ust Wide World Magazine. As far back
as 1883 the Canadian Pacific railway,
while boring for water at Carlstadt, a
point forty miles west of the city, came
across the first gas, but no practical
use was made of the supply met with,
other than to light and heat the section
house in that vicinity. Early in 1891
Sir William Van Horne, then president
of the railway, lent to the city of Medi-
cine Hat drilling outfit for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether there was
coal within reach. When the drill had
reached $50 feet gas was struck, but
the moisture in it necessitated more
trouble in the matter of interception
tanks than was profitable. In 1905
however the city determined to dig
deeper in the hope Of securing larger,
drier flow. -
A bylaw was passed to raise the ne
cessary money. Medicine Hat was then
only a town of couple of thousand
people, and the expenditure was ter
rible drain upon its finances. AS the
well sank deeper and deeper the fund
grew smaller and smaller. The citizens
and the members of the council gather
ed by the little pipe day by day and
watched, with eagerness and forebod
ing. the drill drop-drop-drop within
the pipe. But nothing came except
few little puffs of gas that promised
nothing. Lower the drill sank; fewer
grew the dollars. Finally the money
was all gone, and the town was face to
face with bankruptcy or serious tax
rate. The councillors went home sadly,
amid the mutterings of the people.
That night a special session of the
city officials was convened. The treas
urer held up an empty purse. and they
knew we'll that not another cent could
be drawn from the people. Into the
earth had been sunk thousands Of dol
lars that would return nothing, and the
citizens threw the blame for the nom
success of the venture on the officials.
The well-digger begged for few more
feet. The mayor considered. Then,
with the inspiration of a prophet, he

was refused, of course, declared at the
time that Rickard had an understanding
with the principals, but this was pass
ed up, the general public believing that
the man who made the charge was
probably sore because of his inability
to land the match It may be admitted
that this action by Rickard did not ne
cessarily indicate anything crook ed
either on his part or the men with whom
he was doing business, but there does
not appear to be the slightest reason
why it should not have been made
known at the time; or, if he thought
it the part of wisdom to conceal the
fact at the time the match was made,
what was the necessity of making it
public now, when everyone is disgusted
at the outcome of the fight and willing
to believe anything that would justify
the belief that it was not altogether
what it should have been.
GLEAsoN'S END.
"On Berger's insistence. Rickard says
he declared Gleason in on SO per cent
basis on the net. without the latter put
ting up a cent There is no getting
away from the fact that that was q
pretty stiff kick-in. So far as is known
in this section, Gleason's only asset
assuming that Rickard is telling the
truth-was his pull with the powers
that be in California-his ability to
come across with the requisite license.
But when it came to the show. down,
when the governor Of the state declared
that there would be nothing doing in
the way of the large istic noise in Cali
fornia, it was shown that Gleason's pull
did not amount to anything. Whether
anyone was double-crossed in this con-
nection does not make any particular
difference at this stage The fight was
pulled off according to the schedule. but
the whole transaction showed that,
while the promoters were no parties to
fraud or even an attempted fraud,
they did not act in that clear, straight
forward way with the public which
would have invited it's confidence.
'There is one declaration in Richards
statement that will stand for great
deal of explanation. According to the
agreement, the purse of $1O1, 900 was
to be divided, rs per cent to the winner
and 25 per cent to the loser. and that
was the understanding up to the day of
the fight, when it was announced that
change had been made under which the.
winner was to get 60 per cent and the
loser 40 per cent. Just what caused
this change in the division of the purse
no one knew, and it was practically for
