HEAVY WHEAT YIELD

A 35-acre field of Burbank wheat,
owned by Henry Lucier and located
near New Year, in Fergus county, is
showing yield of around 70 bushels
to the acre. OF course this small
field received extraordinary care and
it is not to be classed with the ordin-
airy grain yields. Mr.. Lucier has
made a speciality of cultivating this
grain and five years ago sold all the
seed he could spare at SIS a pound.
Charles Cox of Brooks holds the
record for Fergus county for ordinary
winter wheat yield this year so far.
His 160-acre field showed an average
of 5814 bushels, which is g bushels
higher than any of the big yields thus
far reported.

A few days later Howard was cap
tured in a shack on South Main
street by Police Chief Murphy, who
was then a detective. When Chief
Murphy entered the building he was
greeted by Howard with drawn re-
volver. One shot was fired by the
robber with no effect before he sub
mitted to arrest.
Howard then confessed to his part
in the attempted robbery and also
implicated Cole, who was also cap
tured a few days later by the chief
as he was walking down East Galena
street. From these men they learned
the identity of their two companions
who were arrested in Helena.
Murphy Rewarded.
For his part in the arrest and con-
viction of the two men, Chief Muir
ply received reward from the rail-
roads and the state amounting to
$500.
The gang of postoffice robbers
have confined their efforts almost
entirely to small towns, where there
is little or no police protection during
the night.
The same means of entering the
safes were employed in each instance.
When the postmaster opened his Of
flee for business some morning 1t was
to find that during the night the COM
bination had been blown off and the
bolt driven back through the safe,
thereby allowing the thieves to open
the door.
Since June Is the postoffice safes
have been robbed in the following
towns: Essex, Wolf Creek, Lima,
Ravalli, Dayton and Bo-
nita, while an attempt was made
against the one at Superior.

More than 2,202,014 barrels of oil
have been produced in the Cat Greek

the state public service commission,
by pipeline companies operating in
that district.
During 1921 the Elk Basin Consoli-
dated Petroleum company transport
ed 1,312,513 barrels of oil, hitting
low point in its record in March of
that year when only 30,338 barrels
were put through the line, and the
peak for 1921, or for the first six
months of 1922 for that matter,
with 16O,912 barrels in August.
Beginning with January of this
year the Mutual Oil company sue
ceeded the Elk Basin consolidated

it has reported at total of S61,670
barrels. The high spot in the trans
of crude oil through this
line this year was reported
for June, when it reached 1856
barrels.
The reports to the public service

UNIQUE WILEpF'
MURDERED WOMAN
WEALTH OF MRS. LOUISE MIL
LER HAS DISAPPEARED;
SEARCH UNAVAILING.
Holographis VIII Is Found Among
Her Papers in Her Lonely Cabin
in Madison County, and Is Filed
for Probate; Money and JeweIry
is Missing.

Since the finding of the body of
Mrs. Louise Miller in its homely
grave among the lonely crags near
the Revenue flats, where it had been
ruthlessly dumped by her murderer,
there has been tireless search made
to locate her jewelry and money
which she is known to have had in
her possession shortly before her
death. She was supposed to be pos
sessed of about $4,000 in cash and
good securities.
A. L. Huston, brother-in-law of
the murdered woman, resident of
Nelson, B. c., has spent considerable
time and money in fruitless search
for the major portion of her valu-
ables, the only jewelry found being
small gold chain, found near the
cabin, and the small gold ring which
was found on her finger when her
body was recovered.
Thorough search has been made at
various times of her papers and other
personal effects found at the cabin
and an endeavor to find will, it be-
ing rumored through a word dropped
here and there by those acquainted
with Mrs. Miller, that such a docu-
ment existed and several claimed to
know the contents.
While instituting final search of
the cabin last month, Mr.. Huston dis
covered, among other valuable
so we informed, will; holo-
graphic in character, which makes
disposition of her estate. Following
is a copy of the will procured from
the records in Madison county:

sfUMGlE DAVE O'KEEFE WAS AIT
FORT BENTON 0M EARLY Co.'s

There are not many Montana mel
living today who were in Fort Benton
in the early COS. One of those who
was at the head of navigation about
the time gold was struck in Grass
hopper and Alder gulches was ''Uncle
Dave" O'Keefe, whose death at Mis-
soula occurred recently.
Back in the early Sos there were
but few people in Montana, outside of
the prospector and the occasional
pioneer, who brought their families
into the new country. The principal
place of interest to the prospector
was the mining camp and they were
Tive" places in those days. OF
course, Fort Benton was thriving
settlement, where a fur-trading COM
pany had its headquarters, and it be-
ing the head of navigation on the
Missouri river, many of the early
settlers arrived by boat instead of
coming overland.
Uncle Dave" O'Keefe was one of
he early pioneers of the state, but
ne came from further west, leaving
California and coming here by way
If The Dalles, Ore, and knows we'll
he Mullan trail as it was cut
through. O'Keefe, too, knew the trail
rom what is now Missoula to Fort
