THE ROYALTY IS SOLD
Wichitan Buys Royalty on Lease Held
by Topeka Company,

Wichita, Feb. IA deal was closed
by Claude c. Stanley for the purchase
of an undivided one-half interest in
the one-eighth royalty on the Mollohan
farm, a half mile east of the Elm
hurst company's oil strike on the Gill
lette farm, near Peabody. The royalty
was purchased from A. D. Mollohan
of Peabody, and it is on the north
eighty acres of the northwest quarter
of section 1422-4. The lease is owned
by the Elmhurst Investment company
of Topeka, which is building a rig on
the farm. According to reports of the
best biologists, the Mollohan farm is
near the dome of the structure. The
Jolliffe test, the first drilled by the
Elmhurst company, is said, to be on
the west edge of the structure.
With the discovery of oil in COM
mercial quantities in southern Marion
county, seven miles northeast of the
Elbing pool, leases and royalties in
that district are much in demand.
However, few transactions are being
made, as the owners are holding tight
in most instances. They bought the
stuff cheap and they are apparently
willing to take a chance on the pool
covering an area of considerable size

FRANCE is READY

Paris, Feb. 17.-France will abide

French insist on inserting certain

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 17.-Suit for
ten million dollars damages was filed
in the United States district court here
today against the Holt Manufacturing
company of Peoria, charging infringe
ment of rights. The compartments are
Charles Paridy, Belleville; Anna Nc
Lathe, st. Louis, Mo, and Ferdinand
Lother, Belfeville- This is the largest
suit ever filed in this district
The suit sets forth that Paridy, in
1892, invented the caterpillar tractor
which idea was extensively used in the
manufacture Of the caterpillar tanks
in the world war. Paridy claims he
was working on his invention in 1892,
but became i'll and was unable to get it
patented. About twenty years later
he obtained his patent, but during the
time from 1892 and the time he re-
ceived his patent papers, the Holt COM
pany began using his invention. The

NO ATTACKS BY REDS.
Since Feb. II BoIsIleyists Haze Left
the Allied Armies Alone.

y Archangel, Feb. 11.-Since February
IL the Bolsheviki have made no at
lacks against the allied forces on any
sector of the Archangel front. Allied
airplanes report there has. been no new
movement of troops behind the enemy
lines since the Bolshevik withdrawal
south from Sredmakrenga.
While the cessation of attacks has
been coincidental with the Bolshevik
offer to attend the Princes Islands
peace conference their offensive was
checked by the American allied troops.
The allied military leaders do not be-
lieve that the Bolshevik acceptance of
the invitation to the conference caused
the Bolsheviki inactivity of the last
six days.
Commenting on the Bolsheviki mes
sage of acceptance, the Vozroshdeie
Sievera, (The resurrection of the
north) says: From the note of Min
lister Tchitcherin it appears clearly
that the Bolsheviki are ready to sell
arrange this nicely at the Princes Is
lands.s'
The Bolsheviki are increasing their
efforts to destroy the morale of the
new Russian conscript soldiers as well
as of the American and British troops.
Bolshevik propaganda, well written
and printed in English, has been dis
tributed mysteriously among the vari-
Gus allied units. Leaflets distributed
in villages on the Omega front where
American forces are operating call
upon the American soldiers to organ
lze soldiers committee and demand
that they be returned home, as the
war with Germany is over, and there
is no reason for remaining in Russia.
