RANGER CALDWELL
STOCKHOLDERS WIN
No. One Flow So Great That
The Pipes Can't Handle.
Two Wells Flowing

From kilograms we learn that the
Ranger Caldwell Oil & Gas Co., drill
ing at Breckenridge, Texas, has
brought in at least two big wells.
After several months of hard luck
and after financing the company the
second time, stockholders in Lincoln
and Clark counties are at last coming
into their own. The No. One we'll in
which the Company has the most in
terest came in of its own accord with
such a flow that it could not be shot
until yesterday, when the shot was
placed. The force of the flow was
so great according to Mrs. French's
telegram, that the eight inch casing
was broken; it was only with great
difficulty that the line was mended.
This we'll is now flowing thousands
of barrels daily, the exact amount of
which has not yet been determined,
as the pipes are too small to accom-
modate the flow.
No Three we'll is increasing daily
now according to latest information
and it promises to be great produc-
er. This is the well that was first
shot this week and which caused no
little speculation in oil stocks in Las
Vegas and elsewhere.
The other three wells are setting
the casing and will probably also be
in the producing class within a short
time.
The stockholders, as we'll as. Mr.
and Mrs. French are to be congrat-
ulated on their stick-to-it-ive-ness.
They have been up against many
hard nr0h1pmS in tha mast few months
and have overcome all obstacles by
hard fighting and a persistant and
stubborn desire to make good.

At 1:19 D. m. Friday, March 4th,
Warren G. Harding of Ohio repeated
in a clear firm voice the oath of Of
flee as president of the United States.
Before the cheering had died away
he stepped forward and began his In
augural address. Ten feet away,
with her eyes on his face stood his
wife, while grouped about were the
dignitaries of this government, rep
resentatives of foreign nations and a
vast concourse of plain everyday
Americans.
The oath was administered by
Chief Justice Edward White.
Go o tthe White House.
The inaugural program began whoa
the president-elect and Mrs. Harding
met the joint inaugural committee at
their hotel shortly before 1O:3O and
left for the White House. They founo
President and Mrs. Wilson ready ana
the party Immediately started for the
capitol.
Upon arrival at the capitol Hard
ing and Coolidge went to an ante
room off the senate chambers. VIII
son went to the presidents room
nearby to sign or reject last minute
legislation.
Congress paused; house members
marched to the senate chamber
where with the diplomats, army and
navy officers and the supreme court,
they Witnessed the induction of Cool
idge as vice president. Then con-
gress was declared adjourned and eV-
erybody went to the east front OF the
capitol for the Inauguration of Hard
ing-but Wilson. He was ordered
home by his physician.
The ceremonies over, the Hard
ings went to the White House, where
luncheon was to be served for the
Harding family. The Wilson's had
planned to go to their new home.
Harding Kisses Verse In Bible
President Harding introduced an
innovation in inaugural ceremonies
when he kissed a verse In the Bible
selected before hand. The custom
has been for the Bible to be opened
at random, and for the new president
to kiss it's pages without knowing
what verse his lips touched.
Sometime ago, however, Harding
made known his desire to have the
Bible belonging to George Wasning-
ton used, and selected the eighth
verse of the sixth chapter OF Micah
to kiss. The verse reads:
"He hath showed thee. 0 man, wnat
is good; and what doth the Lord re-
ouire of thee but to do justly and to
love mercy and to walk humbly with
thy God"
Disabled Soldiers Present
Among the throng were many dis
abled soldiers. Harding broke the
text of his speech to say to them:
81 want to stop for a moment 10
say to these wounded soldiers and
sailors see here that their service
to the republic will never be forgot
ten and that we hope for a govern
ment in the future that will leave
no MANNED men to take their places
at future inaugurations."
Tasker L. Oddie Takes Up Duties
Thirty-three senators were induct-
ed into office as members OF the SIX
ty-seventh congress. Ceremonies were
simple and brief. They were con-
Quoted under half-masted iags, re-
minders of the fact that as o new
republican administration took the
helm, Champ Clark, a great demo
crat, lay dead nearby.

MEETING OF
CITY COMMISSIONERS

Hereafter Be Mailed Out
to individuals

The regular meeting of the CITY
Commissioners Was held March 2,
at which His Honor, the Mayor W. Il.
Ferron. Commissioners Conklin and
Martin, City Clerk Doherty and City
Attorney Stevens we're present.
Minutes os the previous meeting
were read and approved, as well as
the reports of officers. All claims
against the city were allowed as per
claim book.
After discussion, 1t was the opin-
ion of the board that the method now
used for collecting fees for licenses
(entitling individuals, companies or
corporations to conduct business In
the City of Las Vegas) unnecessarily
wastes the time of the City Clerk and
does not encourage promptness In
the payment of said licenses, it was
ordered that the Clerk, on the 1st OF
each quarter mail notices Of fees due
for licenses from various individuals,
companies and corporations and that
remittances, either by mail or in per
son, be made to the City Clerk prom
pity upon receipt of notice.
Upon applicatin James Nimck,
CITY Plumber Inspectr, it was order
ed that $50 copies of Ordinance No.
SO, known as the Plumbing Ordi-
nance, together with amendments, be
printed for circulation.
The Clerk opened bids for dispos-
al of garbage in compliance with a
notice to bidders published in the
Las Vegas Age. Only one bid was
submitted, that of r. ]. Opperdyke,
who agreed to fulfil the provisions of
the ordinance for $75 per month for
the term of 1, 2, 8, 4 or years.
Thereupon the contract for hauling
and disposing of garbage under Or
dinance No. 80 was granted to H. j.
Oppedyk for a term OF two years
II was provided that a contract be
drawn up and first submitted to the
members of the board for approval
The City Budget was ordered print
ed.
The board then took up the matter
of tax levy for the city for 1871.
Resolved. that an ad valorem tax

ceeds of mines Except such proper
ty as is exempt from taxation) said

Commissioners.
We find from the evidence that on
Friday afternoon he said Frank Lee.s 8
mother called in DR.. Martin to V1slt
the said Frank Lee, as the boy was
not feeling we'll; however, not seri-
GUS and was planning for hunting
trip on the following day. From the
evidence of Dr. Martin who has prac-
ticed his profession here for the last
sixteen years and who was first call
ed in to visit the said Frank Lee,
that 1t seemed impossible for the
said whipping of Frank Lee, with a
razor strap on the legs, below the
knees, could or would cause the affi-
iction which has visited the said
Frnak Lee.
We find from the evidence and
opinion of DR.. F. R. Midren, who was
called in this case by the said FRANK
Lees mother, that the said whipping
of Frank Lee on his legs, below the
knees. could not have caused the
affiiction which befell the said FRANK
Lee.
From the foregoing evidence we
find that the said teacher or the otn
grade Winnefred e. Coen, was ruily
within her rights, when she sent the
said Frank Lee to the principal for
correction; for disobeying the rules
and order of the school, and we ex-
onerate from any wrong doing in the
case, and find that 1t is her duty to
keep and maintain good order and
discipline in her school room at all
times.
We find that the Principal, ]. N.
Stewart, was within his rights as
principal, when he whipped the said
Frank Lee at the request of his
teacher, who, the evidence clearly
shows, he had imposed upon for
chastisement, and we exonerate the
said principal from any wrong doing
| in the case.
We further find that the said Frank
Lee is suffering from an attack OF
spinal meningitis and that said all,
ment was merely co-incident with
said whipping.
Respectfully submitted,

BOTH PARTIES IN
STILLMAN SUIT
BECOME PEEVED
Fighting Spirit Develops
Bitterness and More Dis
closures Threatened.

NEW YORK. May 2T.-Bitterness on
both sides will be more intense than ever
when the stillman divorce case hearings
are resumed Wednesday, according to
Developments today.
James A. Stillman, Il was said, feels
that he has made every reasonable effort
TO compromise and since his wife has
refused his terms, he is now determined
to proceed at all costs
Mrs. Stillman, on the other hand. was
said by her friends to be equally anxious
10 resume legal hostilities. She will well
come the opportunity to produce some Of
the evidence supporting her counter
charges, none Of which has yet been pre-
sented.
Following the recall Of DR.. Hugh Rus
sell 10 the stand, it was expected that
Stillman himself will be called for cross
examination Anxiety TO escape this
cross-eXamination was said 10 have been
one of the things that inspired tSillman
TO make the repeasSd efforts to cOmpro-
mise within the last two weeks
According to the details Of the bankers
attempts to arrive at a settlement just
revealed, his final offer reduced the de-
manded residence OF Mrs. Stillman
abroad to two years. She refused to con-
slider the shorter time as fatty SIS she
had the FIVE years.
In short her position was that she
would compromise on nothing while Still
man conceded in turn the legitimacy OF
Guy, her denial Of his charges, and an
adequate money settlement.
