southwest of town. has wired from
New York to his representatives here

that remains to be done is to erect the
derrick and haul out the easing and
coal
The pit was completed for this well
by Lee Patterson this week, and is
eight feet square by II feet deep. Mr..
Patterson had to use dynamite to get
through the frozen ground. but below
the surface he found the digging easy.
Mr.. Fulton has also instructed his
representatives to keep him fully ad-
vised as to progress at the Buffalo
dome well, which is also located on
the Hobson anticline, as he considers
it has very important bearing on the
results obtained when his well is COM

Local people are keeping in touch
with the Buffalo dome well, every day
or So by telephone, and as soon as the
management is ready to drill in the
well. a large delegation from here will
go to the drilling site and watch the bit

MAJORITY WANT
LAW ENFORCED
SAYS JOE POPE
Anti-Saloon League Man De-
clares Sentiment Apparent
at Mass Meetings.

After series of law enforcement
mass meetings held in northern and
eastern Montana towns. Joseph Pope.
superintendent of the Anti Saloon
league for Montana, is convinced that
so per cent Of the people in the state
are unquestionably in favor of the en-
forcement of laws, particularly the
Volstead act. he asserted Tuesday on
I his arrival in Great Falls from Malta.
where the last Of the meetings was
held Monday night. He said that an
enthusiastic response in favor Of rigid
observance Of the liquor laws was
evidenced at each Of the meetings.
Substantial Citizens Help
This group of meetings" said Mr..
Pope, "is a part Of the campaign to
crystalize public sentiment in favor Of
the enforcement Of the statutes. The
meetings were well attended and we
found the substantial citizens were
willing workers in the plans to or
ganize county enforcement league. In
every town visited we found it was
the general expression of belief that
conditions regarding violations Of the
prohibition law had greatly improved
in the last several months.
"We consider the work of forming
enforcement leagues a patriotic serv-
ice that has wider and more signlfi-
cant end than the enforcement of the
liquor laws. We hope to command
respect and reverence for all laws and
by establishing this attitude in regard
to the eighteenth amendment, it nat
urally follows that the other statutes
will be observed as they should be-
10000 Membership
The next series of enforcement
meetings will open in Missoula. April
%, and close in Great Falls, May IA.
Mr.. Pope said. These gatherings will
be addressed by Captain F. B. Eb
bert. counsel for the Anti-Saloon
league. Attorney General Wellington
D. Rankin and 0. II. 2. Shelley. fed
eral prohibition officer for the state.
Other cities to be visited include Ham
ilton, Deer Lodge, Anaconda. Butte,
Dillon. Helena, Townsend. Bozeman.
Livingston, Big Timber, Hardin, Bill
ings, Forsyth. Miles City, Roundup,
Harlowton, Lewistown and then Great
Falls.
Law enforcement leagues will be or
ganized in each city. according to Mr..
Pope, and it is expected that the com
bined leagues will have membership
of 10000 before the campaign is
closed.

At no time did Fricke ask that the
jury inflict the death penalty.
seas Before answering this. the de
fendant sat on the witness stand for
nearly a minute. There is something
significant about that
Arguing the states theory that
there was conspiracy between Mrs.
Obenehain and Burch to kill Ken
nedy. Fricke said:
"Who told Arthur Burch that Ken
nedy was going to be at Beverly Glen
if it wasn't Mrs. Obenchain! Only
Madalynne Obenchain knows who
planned the killing"
Led to Slaughter
Referring to Mrs. Obenchain's tes-
timony that Kennedy talked to her
while on his way to the automobile
for matches and while she was stand
ing at the top of the steps leading to
the cabin. Fricke argued:
"And III tell you the purpose of
Kennedy's talking to Mrs. Obenchain
while he was walking to his death
It was for the purpose of enabling
Arthur Burch. who was waiting by
the thorn bush, to tell exactly where
Bolton Kennedy was. so Burch could
tell when Kennedy got in good posi-
ton for shooting"
Calling attention to the fact that
Mrs. Obenchain testified she did rot
see the flash from the gun. though
another witness testified to having
seen it. Fricke said:
'"There was no reason why she
should not have seen the flash. un-
less she knew the shots were going
to be fired and she did not have the
heart to see the shots that were to

PE|VVSY RECEIVES
RUSH Of ENTRIES
FOR RELAY MEET
Apprehension That West Is
Hostile to Big Athletic
Carnival, Dispelled.

New York, March 14.-Apprehension
that colleges and universities Of the
middle west would keep the intersec-
tional hatchet waving has beers dispell-
ed by rush of entries from that sec
ton for Pennsylvania big annual relay
carnival. to be held on Franklin field
April 90 and 20. When intersectional
strife developed at the annual meeting
of the National Collegiate Athletic as
sociation. based to some extent on the
failure Of eastern colleges to send
teams to this institutions athletic meet
last year, the word went out that there
would be boycott on the Pennsylvania
relays.
For time it seemed that the threat
would result in action, but apparently
the middle western coaches, who are
just as good sportsmen as anybody
thought better Of the movement, If.
indeed many of them at any time were
in sympathy with the hotheads from
their section. There will be plenty OF
western athletic talent in action on
wide open.
Chicago Will Attend
A. A. Stagg, who probably would
have the best excuse of any Of the
westerners for sending no representa-
tives along, has notified DR.. George
Orton that Chicago would be repre-
sented at the big meet. Stagg lost all
his best men in single class two
years ago and since then has been 60
ing through the process Of rebuilding.
1t is unlikely that the Maroon repre-
sentatives this season will be up to the
old Chicago standard. But, like Jack
Moakley, Stagg evidently believes that
the best way to build up again is to
give the new men the best possible
competitive experience.
If he can dig up any relay material
that will come anywhere near the high
standard Of the leading events he will
send at least one relay team, but he
has promised to send along individuals
no mater what the prospects.
Other entries from that direction in
clude Wisconsin, Missouri, Oklahoma.
A. & NJ, and several others. And
there are more to come. Going further
west, there is added evidence that the
games are not to be the subject of a
boycott.
Oregon Aggies Going
Recently the Oregon Agricultural
college sent word that that institution
would be represented by fourmile
relay team. Coach Butler has turned
out an exceptionally fine lot of milers,
and he expects them to make at least
a good showing against the cream Of
the casts long distance teams. The
Oregonians have been working out
handsomely on the indoor track, and
Butler hopes his men can work up to
very close to record time after they
have been at it for time on the
outdoor path. AS the University of
Oregon, where Bill Hayward holds
forth, and Washington State college
are already on the entry list, the
Pacific northwest will be well repre-
sented in the meet.
There are about, 100 colleges on the
carnival entry list to date with more
southern institutions in evidence than
ever before.
While there will be no English team
on hand this year, the international
features will be furnished by TIE first
appearance in this country Of teams
from Italy, and Havana, Cuba. DIR.
Orton expects to have an entry list
of 400 colleges and schools by April l.

Completion of the No. 1 we'll of the
Gordon Campbell-Kevin syndicate was
not accomplished without much effort.
The well was spudded in on April IA,
1921. eleven months to the day from
its completion.
Overcome Many Obstacles
Shortly after the drilling was started,
water in an old lake bed delayed activi-
ties One by one every major part of a
new standard drilling rig broke under
the terrific strain put upon it in max
ing hole through strange formation.
The bull wheel, the calf wheel and
other parts of the rig were smashed
and several fishing jobs caused more
loss of time.
The well gave its first promise of
production last July, when gas was en-
countered at about 1000 feet. Later
another gas, high in gasoline content,
poured up from 800 fet. These sands
were cased off and little attention paid
them once the heavy pressure was over
come and the gas was piped giving an
abundance of fuel for the drilling oper-
ations and heating the entire camp.
Oil seepage was later encountered
and with it series of discouraging diff
ficulties, including broken easing in the
bottom of the hole, followed by weeks
of below zero weather, with all water
frozen solidly and the engine forced to
shut down.
Storage will be provided immedi-
ately," said Mr.. Campbell Tuesday eve

arrives. the drill will be sent deep into

gates which explained the reasons for
the holding of the Irish race Olymplcs,
and the following is a quotation from
that document:
Barred Heretofore
'Ireland has hitherto been debar-
red from competition in the Greek
Olymrics. At Athens and later on at
Brussels they unsuccessfully endeav-
orer to secure admission as national
city. Few, if any, were ready to
sponsor her cause, and her athletes
the Davins, the Kielys and Sheridans-
those giants with whom the all-round
championship of the world remained an
unbroken monopoly-were forced to
compete under flag which was either
hostile to or had little sympathy for the
cause Of their motherland and seldom
worried to credit that country with the
wonderful performance of her children.
Others there were who refused to com
pete under any other than the flag OF
their native land, the net result being
that while Irishmen at these Greek
Olympics easily outscored any other ma
tionality. the world has been bllssfuliy
ignorant of the unapproachable athletic
attributes of her people.
Will Gather Best
Our minds are now made up that
this must end. and at the Tailtean
games of August next, we mean to col
lect in the capital of our country
those talents that have hitherto been
relegated elsewhere, and throw them
on the worlds screen. SO to speak. that
the world may know that physically
the Irish are the superiors of all men,
