NEW OIL FIELD PROMOTION
Indian Land Leases for Oil Pine
Ridge Reservation Will Be
Drilled For Oil.

HI. M. Tidwell, superintendent
of the Pine Ridge reservation,
has advertised through the col
umns of the Gordon Journal, 81
tracts Of Indian land, aggregat-
ing about $500 acres in the wes-
tern part of the reservation for
oil and gas leases for a period of
ten years or as much longer as
mineral is found in paying guam
titles. This land is trust allot-
ments.
Since the finding of this valu-
able and rapid producing pro
duct in eastern Wyoming and
on the western border Of South
Dakota, and as far east as Edge
mont, S. D., the Oglala Sioux In
dians may, in the near future be-
come as wealthy an Indian race
as the Usage tribe of Oklahoma.
Hundreds of acres of land in
the vicinity of Fairburn, Oral
and Buffalo Gap, S. D., have
been leased during the past few
months to oil companies. And in
event that the Chadron Oil COM
pany is drilling north of that
town and should oil be found
there, the western part of the
Pine Ridge reservation will be
the next to fall in line as an oil
producing territory.
A company is hoped to be or
ganized by land owners near
Smithwick, S. D., to prove the
geologist's theory that there is
oil on Hay canyon about Is mil
es east of Smithwick. The above
named canyon is a few miles
from the reservation line Mar
tin Messenger.

RAILROADS UNDER FIRE
BECOME A CHARTER MEMBER OF THE AMEF
LEGION POST

There have been a great many
charges, direct and indirect, a
gainst the inefficiency and al
most criminal negligence on the
part of railroads in handling
livestock during the past few
months. Some complaints are al
most unbelievable. One hears
these complaints everywhere.
They are SO numerous that they
would fill columns and pages of
an ordinary newspaper.
w. E. Lyman, former county
agent of Lawrence county, wrote
some experiences that he re-
Gently came in touch with that
should arouse an investigation
on the part Of the railroad ad-
ministration which should at
least cause the discharge of
every railroad employee that had
any part in rendering such ne
glectful service and causing such
serious loss to shippers. For the
railroad administration to pass
over such charges without in
vestigation is unfair to the pub
lie, and if they are not true
would be unfair to the employees.
To ignore such serious matters
encourages the public in the
growing sentiment as expressed
by Mr.. Lyman that the present
attitude of the railroad admins
tration and it's employees is "the
public be damned" and "to hell
with stock"
The Belle Fourche Bee pub
fishes an article along the same
line of complaint as heard every
where, and although this hap
pens to be against the Northwes-
tern railway there seems to be
no difference all roads being
in the same category Of COM
plaint.-Lead Call.

WOMAN GRASPS CON-
DUCTOR--DELAYS TRAIN

| Lead.-A portly lady, name
unknown, with arms like those
of a prizefighter, for period of
ten minutes forcibly held Con-
ductor Palm, in charge of an ex-
ira passenger train operating be-
tween Belle Fourche and Newell
until belated relatives could ar
rive at the Newell depoe to take
the train.
The pugilistic woman herself
arrived at the depot only few
minutes before the train was due
to depart. The conductor had
strict orders to make the trip
on schedule time. The woman
rushed into the depot and re-
|quested the station agent to have
the departure of the train de-
layed few minutes, as some of
her relatives were on the way
and had to make that particular
train.
The agent advised the lady
that it would be impossible to ac-
commodate her. Then she dash
ed out of the station and ap-
preached Conductor Palm, re-
peating her request to him. The
conductor very courteously in
formed her that much as she
desired to grant her request, his
orders were very strict and he
would have to pull out on time.
He was preparing to step a.
board the train and give the en-
gineer the signal to start when.
without warning of her inten-
tions, the woman threw her arms
about him and held him fast.
She was determined that the
train be held until her relatives
reached and boarded it.
Conductor Palm was too gal
liant to strike the woman and
thus get rid of her and break
her embrace, and the situation
was so amusing that bystanders
decided not to interfere, SO the
woman had her way. When her
relatives arrived and boarded the
train she released the conductor
from her muscular arms and the
train proceeded on it's way.

DEATH OF JESSE
MCPHERSON

A friend of the Review hands
us the following clipping from a
Tyndall paper, regarding the
death on November 9th of Jesse
Mcpherson who with his family
resided northwest of Philip,
near Smith postoffice, for several
years:
People in this community
We're shocked Monday morning
wnen the news was spread that
Jesse Mcpherson had died the
previous evening at II o'clock.
While he had not been feeling
well for several weeks his all
ment was not considered serious
Sunday evening he was attend
ing to his chores as usual and
while milking was stricken with
paralysis. A physician was call
fored but was unable to help the
dying man. He was conscious
for several hours after the
stroke but did not realize that
death was SO near.
Funeral services are being
held this afternoon at the home
and the remains buried in the
Tyndall cemetery.
Jesse Mcpherson was one of
the pioneers. of Bon Homme
county. During his life he was
one of the prominent men of
the state and was sheriff of the
county for four years. He is
survived by a wife and two
daughters with whom the entire
community share the loss.

Expressing the belief that
there was less fear now than for
merly of Armenian massacres
Earl CurzOn, British secretary
of state for foreign affairs gives
as his reason the fact that mas
sacres in former years "were or
dered from Constantinople for
political reasons, but Constanti-
nople now is voiceless and pow
erless." !" The less reason to fear
these massacres, the less reason
for an American mandatory in
Armenia. And, by the way, was
it not promised to the soldiers
and to the people that Turkeys
penance for having sided with
the Hun would be national depor-
tation from Europe? Why was
that promise not kept?

FACES SWINDLING CHARGE

One Of the cases in circuit
court at Rapid City this week is
that of the state VS.. C. w. Pope.
Thee Rapid City Guide says of
the case, "The defendant is
charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses. The state
will attempt to prove that the
defendant secured money fraud
ulently from a number of per-
sons by locating them on public
lands which were open to, entry,
but which the defendant claim
ed had been previously entered,
and to which he sold these par
ties alleged accomplishments. 1t
is alleged that in this manner he
got about $4,000 in all from diff
ferent persons.
1t is said that government a.
gents have also been investiga-
ting this matter and that when
the State of South Dakota gets
through with the case, there
may be something doing by the
Department of the Interior.
Late laws passed by congress
make any swindling of public
land settlers very serious of
tense. In old days such offenses
were rather common but late
laws are drastic in such cases" 7"

PHILIP HIGH LOSES
HILLS GAMES

i The quintet from the loca
high school took on two defeats
in their Hills games Friday anc
Saturday nights, losing to Ra
Ipid City high school by a score
of Is to IA and to Lead high
school 80 to Ia. In the former
game the Philip boys had the
game won, by a score of 13 to ID
but the timekeeper held up the
game until the Rapid boys had
made the two winning baskets.
| The local quintet went up a.
gainst the two strongest teams
in the Hills and made exceptions
ALLY good showing. The Hills pa
pers have many good words fol
them. Under the direction of
Hal d. Wheaton as coach a
splendid team has been formed,
one that will put Philip high on
the map before the season is
over. The lineup of the team is
Harold Hoover and Babe Mich
aei, forwards; Paul Swisher,
center; Vern Kingsbury and
Clair Severin, guards.
The Rapid City Journal says
of the game there: Before a
large attendance the local high
school opened the basket ball
season by defeating the quintet
from Philip by one point, Is to
Ia. The game, closely contested
throughout, was featured by
many misses of field goals due
to lack of practice or failure of
either team to arrive so early
in the season into true form.
This was particularly true with
the local quintet which only oc-
casionaily showed streaks of
good team work and basket
shooting. Repeated misses of
easy shots and i'll judgment in
cooperating with team mates
was costly to the scoring of the
local team who at one time were
behind their opponents. In this
respect the team from Philip
can not receive too much atten-
tion either, though they did
at times handle the ball we'll
perhaps when the local PLAYERS
were guarding loosely. The Philip
quintet had a star in their for
ward, Michael, who succeeded
in scoring three field baskets for
his team. Though their players
were small they used with great
effect the trick of lodging their
opponents by looping the ball
over his head and following up
after the ball. They were, how
ever, unused to such q large floor
and consequently the local team
held the ball most of the time"
Concerning the Rapid game
and announcing the game there,
the Lead Call says: "Philip is
coming to the city touted as one
of the best teams on the circuit,
and should it live up to it's per-
formance of last year Lead is go-
ing to have it's work cut out from
the very start. Philip played Ra-
pid City a 1914 game at Rapid,
Philip losing due to the time
keeper who did not call time un-
til after Rapid had made their
winning basket"
The Deadwood Pioneer-Times
says of Saturday evenings
game: ''The Lead high school
basket ball team took the Philip
high school team to a decisive
defeat last evening in the as
sembly hall in the Lead school
by a score of 80 to IA. The game
was hotly contested one throu-
ghout, and during the first part
the Philip boys are said to have
given the up-gulch team a run
for their money, but in the last
half lost ground and were ra-
pidly taken in"
The Philip quintet and the
team from the Deadwood high
school will play a game in
Pohle's hall on Saturday evening
of this week.
