The Facts About the Oil Well
Near luka.

Considerable excitement has been
caused over the finding of oil in the
Pitts Well near Iuka, Tuesday
there were several car loads of peo-
pie from Corinth. Sheffield and 9TH
or points in Alabama. These re-
ports had been exaggerated. But
the facts are such as to prove ex-
tremely interesting to the people in
this section, and as learned from
Mr.. Pitts himself are about as fol.
lows: There is no doubt that oil
has been found in the we'll. The
sand that is being drawn out of the
well is saturated with it and some
oil has been friwn up. At present
there are several hundred feet OF
water on top Of the oil, but swab
has been ordered and will likely be
received today and in all probability
will only be q question OF few
days until it is known as to the
quantity Of oil. Mr.. Pitts thinks he
will have to 60 through about
twenty more feet OF sand and if
such is the case he is Of the opinion
that he will have well that will
produce about 500 barrels day
He has bored large number OF
wells and is in position to Judge Of
what may be expected, so if the
people Of Iuka find that they are in
another Eldorado they need not be
surprised.

SCHOOL BOARD
TO DISCoNT|N-
UETWO GRADES

The board of education Of the De-
wills Lake School District last week
at a regular meeting voted to dis
continue the two primary grades,
to eliminate the art supervisor and the
manual training in the high school,
and make such other changes as will
reduce the expense of conducting
the schools in this city during the
coming term to be within the debt
limit allowed by law. At the recent
school election the proposition or
increasing the debt limit was voted
down, and it was therefore necessary
for the board to cut down expenses
in order to stay within the debt limit.
A number Of teachers were also con-
tracted with at this meeting and it is
the opinion of the board that the
corps of instructors will during the
coming term be superior to any ever
employed here before.
Under the new order Of things
the Guild, hall where. the primary
grades were taken care of will not be
used during the coming term, and only
children seven years and over will be
allowed to enter school. This will
put all children about to enter school
a year behind with their work right
from the start.

HIRAM STEPP IS
DENIED new TRIAL
BY JUDGE BUTTz

Hiran.. stepp of sarles. N. D., who
three years ago was arrested on the
charge of rape, and was tried and con.
victed in district court at Langdon,
and who appealed the case to the sup
rene court and succeeded in obtain
ing new trial, which was held in De-
wills Lake on change of venue from
Cavalier county in March 1921, at
which time Stepp was again found
guilty and was sentenced to serve two
ane one-half years in the state PEN
itentiary, when he again asked for
a new trial which was denied by Judge
Buttz and he again appealed to the
supreme court which tribunal sent the
case back here for further investi-
cation, last Saturday lost his last
hope of keeping himself out of the
pen when Judge Buttz refused to
change his former decision.
Lawrence Mozinski of Walsh coun.
ty, who some months ago was ar.
rested on the charge of assault with
the intent to kill, it being alleged that
he attempted to drown his wife, and
who was convicted in district court at
Grafton while Judge Buttz presided,
and who also moved for new trial
on the grounds that evidence was not
sufficient to warrant a conviction,
was last Saturday denied his applica-
tion.
Dick Cheratte, an Indian breed, was
given sentence of one year in the
state penitentiary after he entered
plea of guilty before Judge Buttz
Friday. Cheratte was caught in this
city short time ago selling NOON
shine here to Indians.

SALE OF SHORT
HORN CATTLE
next MONDAY

The first public sale Of Shorthorn
cattle in the Lake Region this sum-
mer will be that of J. S. Kirk, at the
Odessa Stock Farm, Is miles south
east of Devils Lake on Monday of
next week, commencing at 1880 p. m.
Although Mr.. Kirk has been raising
registeret Shorthorn cattle for II
years, this is the first sale he ever
put on, though he has each year a
heavy contributor to the sales held
by the North Dakota Shorthorn
Breeders Association, of which he is
an enthusiastic member. Among the
cattle to be offered for sale will be
10 pure bred bulls ranging from one
to three years old, and Is females,
including yearling heifers and cows
with calf at side. Frank H. Hyland
will act as auctioneer, and H. S. Pond
as clerk.
Mr.. Kirk has been a resident of
Ramsey county for % years, and dur
ing the past IL years has been breed
er Of Shorthorn cattle. During all of
this time he has been continually i'm
proving his herd, and has added from
time to time some of the best indi-
viduals that money could buy, in
cluding many pure Scotch animals,
until now his herd is second to none
to be found in the Northwest. If
there were better Shorthorns to be
had in the country we know that Mr..
Kirk would have them. His herd is
known from one end of the state to the
other, and anything purchased from
him is known by all breeders to be of
the best that money can buy. He has
never been known to sell any animal
that is not right up to snuff, and
everything that comes from his farm
is fully guaranteed to be in perfect
health, and breeder, or may be re-
turned.
The cattle to be sold next Monday
are the pick Of Mr.. Kinks herd, and
we doubt if better bunch was ever
ever offered for sale in the state.
The lot includes most everything to
be desired, both males and females,
all ages and colors, and every breeder
or prospective breeder will be able
to find just exactly what he wants
Terms will be given to responsible
parties on all sales. Mr.. Kinks per.
.sonal guarantee that every animal is
exactly as represented, Also goes
with each sale.

BOARD CASE TO
SUPREME COURT

Burke county still has two county
boards, and both insist they they are
legally entitled to act and will prob
ably continue to act until decision
is secured from the supreme court.
Two of the members of the board were
ousted from office year ago by Gov
ernor Frazier, and the ousted members
appealed to the district court Of RAM
sey county. Here Judge Buttz re-
versed the decision Of the governor,
and reinsteated the commissioners in
office. County Auditor C. J. Kopriva
and the two new commissioners ap-
pointed in place of the ousted officers
refused to allow the ousted officers
to take their office back. Judge Butte
last week issued an alternative writ of
mandamus ordering Kopriva and the
appointed commissioners tc turn over
the board records to the ousted board.
Kopriva and the appointed commiss-
ioners refused to comply with the writ,
alleging that Judge Buttz was without
Jurisdiction, and demanded that the
SSAoC NC VI iouo4SI1Cu W Du1hc GUILTY.
The writ was ceturnable on Monday of
this week, and Attorney L. j. Palda
for the ousted commissioners and E.
R. Sinkler for the appointed ones,
both of Minot appeared here to argue
the case.
Judge Buttz held that inasmuch as
the case was originally appealed to
his court, he had jurisdiction. The
supreme court was last Saturday to
rule on the point of wheather or not
the court had the right to issue the
order, but refused to take original
jurisdiction. Attorney Sinkler inn
naediately appealed the case from
Judge Buttz's decision, and it
is expected that the supreme court
will rule on the case within a very
short time. In the meantime both
county boards insist that they are
the legal county commissioners.

plimented the boys on what they were

Parade Best Ever
The parade which was formed on
seventh street was probably one of
the biggest features of the conven-
tion. This was headed by the Lisbon
First North Dakota regimental band,
which was followed by the national
guard, floats of different kinds, other
bands including the boy scout band.
The parade was witnessed by an un-
usually large number Of people, many
coming in principally for the pur-
