WHISKY RUNNERS
LOSE FIGHT WITH
DIG HORN SHERIFF
Three Men Claiming Great Falls
as Home, Caught With
Contraband Carg0es.

Billings, Feb. 12-Something Of the
thrills Of sheriff's running battle
with bad men of the old west was cx-
perienced Thursday by Sheriff John
Macleod aud Undersheriff Carl Long
of Big Horn county, according to word
received here from Hardin. The chase
however was strictly up to date, high
powered automobiles taking the place
Of the cayuses Of former days.
The actions Of two big cars passing
through Hardin aroused the suspicion
Of the sheriff and he wired the Indian
police at Lodge Grass, asking them to
block the road and stop the cars, sus-
pected of carrying contraband whisky.
The sheriff and undersheriff started in
pursuit in another high powered ma
chine. They overlook the suspects 20
miles out of Hardin. They made no
effort to stop them but followed a
short distance behind unsuspected, un-
til they came in sight of the barricade.
Dash Through Barricade.
Upon sighting the obstruction in the
road the suspected cars dashed ahead.
crashing through the barricade. Amid
q voIley of shots, some of the Indian
police took to flight. Pursued by the
officers one of the cars was overtaken
four or five miles east of Grass Lodge,
and the sheriff dropped out and took
charge of the driver, car and cargo,
while the undersheriff continued the
chase.
After short run the fleeing car took
to the hills with the undersheriff close
behind. A dangerous race followed ac-
companied by an almost continuous
exchange of shots during which the
cars tore through barbed wire fences
until the leading car circled arouno
and returned almost to where the first
car had been ovcrhauled.
Shots Open Radiator.
Seeing the fleeing car coming dowr
steep hill toward the road, the sher'
iff snatched rifle belonging to the
bootleggers, from their car and opened
fire. He sent three shots through the
radiator of the other car and let the
water out The chase ended shortly
afterwards when the engine stopped
and the undersheriff overlook his quar-
ry. Each car was found to contain &c
cases of bonded whisky. The prison.
ers gave the names of Ed Brown, Fred
Jones and John Smith, all claiming
Great Falls as their home. They were
taken to Hardin to be turned over to
the federal authorities, but the auto
mobiles were so badly shot to pieces
that they were left at Grass Lodge.

Drilling in April, Report.
q The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Nissoula, Feb. 12.-At recent
meeting of the oil enthusiasts OF
Frenchtown and those in Missoula in
terested in the Frenchtown valley OIL
prospects held in Frenchtown IT was
decided to inaugurate a campaign to
secure 10000 more acres OF land for
the ''oil syndicate
If the additional land is secured and
those interested in the proposition de-
clare it will be, this company will have
sc. 1000 acres Of land under lease. AS
yet the company has no name and such
dealings as are being made are con
Quoted in the name of trustee. The
company does not plan to sell stock,
it is said, for some time as vet. Ne
rotiations now are being carried on
with drilling concern and it is re-
ported that drilling will probably be-
gin April l.
At the recent session was landown-
er from Bonita. He approached the
Frenchtown men with proposition to
put his land into the company for equal
rights with the others that have put
in land The Frenchtown men, it is

tie too far from what is expected to
be the scene of operations of the COM
pany.
One of the stories Of the oil pros
poets, relates to the digging Of a well
for water on the ranch Of Fred Lucier.
1t is reported that water was struck in
the well at about 10 feet. The water
was offered to cattle and horses but
they refused to drink it. An exami
nation showed that there was an oil
scum on the top Of the water. An ex-
animation Of the well showed that
there was nothing in it to produce
this oil scum so it is generally be-
lieved, in Frenchtown and throughout
the valley. that there is an oil sand
somewhere near the well of Mr.. LII
cier. The men at the enthusiastic
meeting declared that this is only one
Of many instances that there is oil in
the Frenchtown valley.
