have been written by Mr.. Patterson
over his own signature to a Lieuten-
ant O'Leary in France, and to contain
criticism Of this governments war
policies, and war aims.
Mr.. Patterson, at the time the let
ter first appeared, stated that he did
not know Lieutenant O'Leary, if such
a person exists, and that his first
knowledge Of the letter was when he
was warned that it had been found,
and that mob of Minot loafers were
coming to his farm to tar and feath-
er him.
From the first it was suspected that
the letter was the work of the Minot
gangsters who have frequently threat
ened to "get" Patterson. Wooledge,
who claimed to have the letter in his
possession early in September refused
to show it to Mr.. Patterson, and an
nounced that he would turn it over to
Mr.. Hildreth for investigation.
The result of the matter, as now
made public, could hardly have been
foreseen by Mr.. Wooledge and his
friends.

Fargo, Oct. 9-The seditious let

by State Representative Girdell Pat

possession at the time of the Demo-

have been forgery, according to U.

An Indictment has been issued and
the party responsible for the letter
will be placed under arrest within a

hold his name. Full details will be
made public as soon as the guilty man
is placed under arrest, according to
Mr.. Hildreth.

marks told the gathering what con-
stituted Big Business and how the

Senator Cahill was then introduced
and went over the League program
in general, explaining, as he went
along, the effect, of each measure.
His arguments were. well set forth
and brought applause from his aud

vast benefit to drilling operations
throughout Southern Oklahoma.
Already there is talk of resuming
operations that have been waiting
on water, and it now looks as
though the coming summer will be
a lively season in the oil fields
throughout the state. There has
been little to report the past week
OF operations in the Ardmore dis
trict. Several tests in section 25 As
3w, for the Westheimer sand found
by the RoXana in that section, are
nearing an interesting point. The
Westhcimer < Daube test in sec
tion 30 4s2w, has passed the level
OF the sand without finding it, as
has the Bayou test in 25, but both
these are still drilling in the hope
OF a dip and picking mp the sand
deeper. These tests are south and
east OF the discovery wells. The
Nag- Mar test, i'm p and south OF
the RoNana wells, is getting close
to the level. The Ruby Petroleum,
south and west, in the same sec
ton, is making good progress, and
