ASKING FOR COURT
FOR OIL CO.
Leading Stockholders in Syndicate
Oil Company Filed Suit in Hum-
boldt District Court And AK
Acts be Voidsd by Court

w. G. Pitt. we'll known Lovelock
capitalist, and 16 other defendants
subscribed to a complaint filed in
the Humboldt county district court
last evening. Similar actions are
to be maintained in the counties
of Washoe and Churchill, the de-
PENDANTS being True vencill, Of
Fallon, and George E. Stall, well
known resident Of Golconda, whom
the complaint recites, acted without
authority in conducting the affairs
Of the Syndicate oil company, op-
Grating in the Fallon oil district,
and in which all parties to the suit
are interested.
The chief cause for complaint
lies in the fact that the defendants
held directors meetings that were
illegal, according to the allegations
in the complaint and at one of these
levied an assessment Of 80 cents
against each share of outstanding
stock. Notices are being adver-
tised for the sale of this so-called
delinquent stock held by the plain
tiffs and the court is asked to de-
clare the sale, scheduled for to-
morrow contrary to law and IL
legal.
1t is further recited that the Syn
dicate oil company bought an Okell
drilling rig and much other mater
ial, including 5000 feet Of casing,
and drilled a hole q few miles south
of Fallon to depth of 2732 feet.
The inadequacy of the rig to 20
further without endangering the
results of the work up to the time
of abandoning work, is also al
legged and the plaintiffs are asking
that further work be forbidden un-
til the sum Of $4,000 has been Sc
cured from the sale Of additional
treasury stock.
On January 25th, according to
the complaint, directors meeting
was held by the defendants, with
out Mr.. Pitt and John G. Taylor,
other directors of the oil company,
being notified, and Immediately
thereafter both Mr.. Pitt and Mr..
Taylor resigned from the oil COM
pany directorate. ;.
At the present time, states Mr..
Pitt and his co-plaintiffs, the Syn
dicate oil company owes more than
$4,000 as result of the untoward
acts Of the defendants.
The oil company now involved in
litigation was generally considered
the one best bet in the Fallon dis
trict, because it was financed in
an ample manner by many Of the
leading men of the state. J. H.
Miller, Hawthorne capitalist, and
declared candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for governor, is
president of the company. Accord
ing to the complaint on file in the
district court, Mr.. Miller, like those
appearing as plaintiffs in the suit,
did not know of the actions Of
those who had assumed control of
the company's affairs in Fallon.

ACTIVITIES At
THE HIGH SCHOOL
Arbor Day Will Be Observed by
Program in Assembly, Track
and Field Events in Which
Girls. Boys Compete

The county high school student
body will observe Arbor Day with a
program and general exercises, in
cluding tree planting. The pro-
gram will be given in the high
school assembly at 1890 o'clock
Friday morning. Tree planting
exercises will follow and many
choice varities adapted to the cli-
mate and soils of this district, will
be set out. Attorney T. E. Powell
public spiritedly donated the tree
stock necessary. and the efforts to
be put forward will in time effect
material advances in Identification
Of the high school grounds.
Arbor Day activities will be con-
tinued throughout the afternoon
of Friday and commencing at two
o'clock the interclass field and track
events will be held, both girls and
boys participating. The competi-
tion among the girls holds con-
siderable interest for Winnemucca
people. The boys events will be
contested by the athletes Of three
classes against the Juniors, who
have challenged the remainder of
the boys Of the school for athletic
supremancy. The winners of events
will compete in the interscholastic
meet to be held in this city on May
20. Now that the weather has set
tied and become more or less nor
NAL, it is believed by members of
the high school faculty that Arbor
Day announcements can be made
at this time with a reasonable as
surance that Friday will be unmar-
red By inclemency and that the ac-
tivities projected can be given with
out hinderance.
Other advances made at the
county high school during late days
included the installation of the
latest type of booking machine
in the commercial department,
which is without doubt the
best equipped commercial depart
ment maintained by any high
school in Nevada. This department
of the county institution counts
many unique features, not the least
of which is three year course in
commercial Spanish. The general
advantages offered by this high
school is coming to be widely rec
ognized. Included is manual
training department with shop
equipment surprising that Of any
contemporaneous school in this state
and is probably unequalled in any
western town or small city. Sew
eral students from other states will
enter the local high school next
fall, according to recent declarations
proving. that distinct advantages
come to be generally known in
time. Indeed, the trend of the Hum
beldt county school is toward a
junior college status and continued
support by home people will suffice
to put 1t in a class that will not
only reflect credit to the enterprise
and public spirit of those who sup
port the school, but will return a
great amount of good to the county.

Boy Would Bride Fire Chief

An attempt has been made tc
bribe Fire Chief A. j. Trodick OF
Great Falls. A small boy, captured
after he had turned in false alarm,
tearfully extended his total fortune
of two cents to the chief in an eff
fort to buy his way to freedom.
His capture came as the result OF
too much speed on the part of the
chief in answering the alarm, which
was turned in from the box at the
corner of Sixth avenue south and
Ninth street. The big Stutz arrived
at the box in time to see the small
boy frantically fleeing, and after a
few seconds cratic pursuit he was
taken, struggling, to the fire station,
where he made the fearful attempt
to buy his way out.
He was given lecture on the seri-
BUSINESS of his offense, and said that
some older boys had told him to turn
in the alarm. The chief obtained the
names of the offenders from the
youthful culprit and will inform their
parents regarding the undesirability
of false alarms.

Favors Deep Test of Field

Favors Deep Test of Field
There has been some discussion
relative to the possibilities of one or
more oil polls in the formation that
underlies the Kootenai in the West
Dome field, and the writer has gone
on record in previous articles in favor
of a deep test in this district. 1t is
now known that structural conditions
in the West Dome field are favorable
for the concentration of oil in the
first and second sands from which
highly profitable production is now
being taken. If structural condi-
tions are satisfactory the same will
apply to the deeper formations, since
the closures are deep on all sides and
the collecting channels established.
Also, the deeper formations are pet
roliferous in this district, beyond any
doubt.
The West Dome field is the "best
bet' in all Montana today for large
and satisfactory production in the
Ellis and Quadrant formations for
black or heavy crude. From expos
ures of these formations on the
within SO miles, both fa-
vorable shale beds and sandstones are
found, and these indicate nothing but
favorable results with deep test in
the West Dome field"

The second game on the "Y''

night with the first team from the
Lexington Y. M. c. A. Lexington
"Y" boasts a we'll trained squad
that has played together for several
seasons, losing very few games since
their organization, and who are
coming to Paris determined to keep
up a long record of wins. The Paris
"Y" team since their defeat by
Georgetown College by an eyelash,
have smoothed over a few rough
spots, and with the aid of Basil
Hayden, who will coach them for
the remainder of the season, are out
to make a few ambitious teams eat
much dirt.
While the schedule is not as yet
fully completed, games have been
arranged with such teams as Law
renceburg, Frankfort, COvington
and Cynthiana, an equal number to
be played at home and abroad. The
fans who witnessed the melee be-
tween Paris and Georgetown last
Friday pronounced it one of the
most interesting exhibitions they
had ever seen, and the "Y" gym
should be packed with rooters for
the game tonight.
