Will DRILL FOR
OIL AT 0SWEGO
Company Has Leases On Twenty
Thousand Acres and Will Start
Work in June.

David r. Mckee, of Elwood, Indi-
ana, who has been at Oswego for the
last two weeks, has secured oil leases
on twenty thousand acres of land in
that vicinity, according to reliable re-
ports received in Glasgow Thursday.
Mr.. Mckee is associated with capi-
talists and oil men from Benton Har-
bor, Michigan, Elwood, Indiana, Mar
ion, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois,
thirty in number-and it is said that
according to the terms of the leases
drilling must be commenced within 90
days. This Mckee has agreed to do,
and says that he will be at work by
the Both of June.
The definite location of the leased
land is not given and no expert report
on anything near Oswego has been
made public up to this time, one can
but conjecture as to where the alleg-
ed field is. The promotion however
has every appearance of good faith
and is probably based on the discov-
cry of oil, or upon private infor-
nation. Oswego people are jubilant
over the prospect that drilling for oil
will soon be undertaken in that local
ity.

GUILTY. is VERDICT
AT GREAT FALLS

Guilty of Manslaughter," was the
finding of the jury in district court
in the case of Ernes R. Gust charged
with murder in the first degree, at
2:10 Tuesday afternoon. The Jury
had deliberated II hours and 10 min
uteS.
The compromise verdict is believed
to have resulted from the fact that
the defense established that the mur-
der was not premeditated, Gust hav-
ing killed Willard R. Sullivan, rail
road man, in a fight on Third street
north.
The two men had been drinking,
and Gust knocked Sullivan down and
kicked him on the head, the injuries
resulting in Sullivan's death a few
hours after the fatal encounter. Coun-
ty Attorney H. G. Bennett maintained
that the case was one of first degree
murder, but the jury finally agreed
upon compromise, leaving the pen
atty to the court. The law provides
a penalty of not less than six months
in the state penientiary or not more
than 10 years.
