State Asylum.

Anton Ruteliuk, aged As, farmer
residing near Sawyer, was placed I'M
der arrest Tuesday by Deputies Sher-

ed with threatening to kill VIM

asylum for the insane at Jamestown,
imagining that the superintendent

pital on June 26, 1919, from pneu-
monia, following the flu. Ruteluk
wrote two threatening letters to the
Superintendent which were turned
over to Judge VIM. Murray, who or
dered the mans arrest The board
will inquire into his sanity at an early
date.
Ruteliuk claimed after his arrest
that he did not actually mean to kill
the superintendent, whom he attempt
ed to compel to fork over $1,000 al
legged damages.

lowing letter from Rhteliuk:

T. e. Fox Interested in Roundup,
Mont. Oil Project

7. E. Fox, formerly of this city,
and now engaged in the hardware
business at Bantry, was in Minot Mon
day enroute to Bantry after a five
weeks visit at Roundup, Mont, where
great excitement prevails over the
discovery of oil last November. Mr..
Fox stated that a big flow Of oil was
struck at depth of 1175 feet in the
Devils Basin, after the oil had been
traced for $50 miles. Twelve well
drilling outfits are now at work and
three wells have already been sunk.
The Standard Oil Co. has representa-
tives on the ground who offer to de-
velop the property. Mr.. Fox is in
terested in two Of the projects. His
brother, Robert Fox, Of Towner, is
also interested in them. Mr.. Fox
states that there is no stock for sale
in the companies in which he is in
terested as he was let in on the ground
floor by an old friend. Several wild
cat companies have been formed in
that district and naturally buyer
has to be careful or he will find that
his money is wasted.
