OIL DRILLERS DEMAND
MORE LEASES IN POTTER

Gettysburg, S; D., July 22.-Frank r.
Fox. president of the Fox Oil and Gas
company, indianapolis, Ind, has con-
firmed the report that the drilling for
oil in Potter county will a after
striking the artesian belt unless he can
secure a compact and entire body OF
land surrounding the test hole. The
test well for oil on the Worth farm
is in q group of quarter sections owned
by men who live in other parts of the
United States. The resident owners OF
lands have leased to the Fox company
some 5000 acres of lands, but these
lands are not in a solid and compact
body. The bulk Of the land so far
leased is scattered over the western
part Of Potter county from the north
to the south border of the county. MI.
Fox has made earnest efforts to lease
the lands near the site Of the Well that
is being drilled, but the owners of the
lands so far have refused to lease he
lands. The non-residents have so far
shown little sympathy for the oil prof.
ect,- while the resident farmers have
practically all leased their lands to the
Fox company.

COMMITTEE WITHOUT POWER
TO COMPEL TESTIMONY

Pierre. S. d., July 22.--The action
Of ex-state treasurer Schamber in re-.
fusing to talk about his administration
before the state investigating commit
tee further than TO give his name. resi-
dence and occupation, has disclosed the
fact that this committee really has no
power to" compel anyone to testify on
anything. IL has been learned that
there is no penalty for refusing to obey
their summons or answer questions,
and this will undoubtedly u short the
investigation OF the committee so far
as Its work Is concerned where i'm
formation is wanted other than docu-
mentary evidence already In possession
Of the state. 1
Schamber having settled with the
state according to the official records
takes the position that he is not under
obligation to anyone to further talk
about the administration OF his office.
1t is very likely that the work of the
commission will be greatly shortened
by the discovery that the committee is
powerless and that there is no law for
compulsory testimony. The fact that
no penalty was prescribed makes the
law under which the committee is
operating something of a joke.

FEDERAL GAME LAWS IN
SOUTH DAKOTA ZONE

Pierre, S. D.. July 22.-State Game
Warden Hedrick states that some mis-
apprehension is current in regard to
the federal game laws, as affecting this
state. South Dakota Is in zone 1 and,
therefore, q closed season is perpetual
on all birds feeding principally on In
sects, while q five-year closed season
covers pigeons, cranes, swans, curlew
and all shore birds. From January 1
to October 81 a closed season exists
along and on the Missouri river on all
migratory birds, this provision being
in force from the mouth. Of the river
to Bismarck. For other water fowl
and shore birds the closed season in
South Dakota Is from December 16
and September 10, while all hours of
darkness, sunset to sunrise, are known
as closed Seasons for migratory birds.
The government penalty is a fine OF
not more than 800 or Imprisonment
not more than 90 days, or both. The
zones vary and the federal game laws
vary with the zones. H.. =.

Mitchell. S. D.. July 22.-Mrs. Helen
Veeder Anderson, the university art
teacher, is still confined In the county
Jail, unable to secure bonds for her
release, and there is very little like
Ihood that she will secure bonds, in
which event she will have to be in

dence to show that she has been men
tally unbalanced in the past, and she
was irresponsible for her action in
stealing the goods found in her house.
So far little has developed along that
line, not enough at least to warrant a
