SAYS FIGHTERS ARE BARRED
Even jess Willard Can't Box I'm New
York, Statement Declares.

New York, Dec. 21.-William Null
doom, chairman of the New York state
athletic commission, announced today
that Johnny KiIbane and Eugene
Criqui would not meet here in a
featherweight championship bout,
while he was head of the body gov
erning boxing
we gave Kilbane every opportunity
to fight and not pose and he ignored
our warnings" he said.
Boxing promoters intimated that
they would not take Chairman Null
doon's edict too seriously in that a
new chairman would likely be named
when Governor Smith took office.
Chairman MuldoOn announced also
that Ness Willard, former worlds
heavyweight champion, would not be
allowed to box in New York under
the jurisdiction of the present COM
mission. The age limit, under the
rules of the boxing board, made VIII
lard ineligible for license, it was ex-
planned. The statement relative to
willard resulted from reports that
the former champion and Dempsey
might meet in a bout here. Chairman
Muldoon placed Johnny Wilson, Bos-
ton boxer, whose middleweight title
was declared forfeited in New York
state, in the same category with Kill
bane.

PROVE VALUE OF SHOOTING
TIGHT SAND IN NORTH AREA
Thornton, Offset to Gladys Belle, Brought in
With Big Shot After Dry Hole Reported;
Twenty-fourth Producer in Field.

The possibilities of shooting wells IN
the Keyin-Sunburst field to obtain pro-
duction where only showings of oil de-
yelon was again demonstrated Wednes-
day night, when the Ohi~o-Sunburst-
Thornton No. 2, on section 1882 W,
diagonal offset to the Gladys Belle. was
shot and brought in a good producer:
The report from the field Thursday
was that the oil had risen 700 feet in
the easing despite 200 feet OF shaie
brought down in the hole as a result
of Shooting. The shooters used so
quarts of nitro glycerin in the well.
The sand in which the Gladys Belle
had production was found to be tight
in the Thornton well and not more
than a showing of oil was obtained.
The hole was continued down to the
Madison limestone without result and 1t
was then bridged back and shot. The
flow that resulted made oil men present
at the well confident that the we'll is
a good one, although the amount of
shale and other material dropping IN
the hole retarded the flow. 1t will be
cleaned out and casing dropped back on
cap rock. e,
marks the twenty-fourth producing oil
we'll in the Kevin-Sunburst field. In
addition. there are four wells of gas

burst wells in the northern part of
the field are examples. In each case

creased the flow of oil. In the case

VENDORS OF MONTANA beer
MAY HAVE TO PAY U.S.. TAX
Officials Say Dealers Who Handled Goods Brew
cry admitted Making Are Liable If Gov
eminent Chooses to Act.

Indictment Of o. FL. P. Shelley, for
mer state prohibition director, on a
charge of accepting brides from brew
cries and druggists, following as it
does the filming of the Montana Brewery
Of Great Falls, owned by Johnson a.
Jensen, for the illegal manufacture of
beer. has raised among local soft drink
vendors a question as to whether the
llpshot of the Investigations will not
be a levying of a federal tax against
all dealers who handled the beer the
brewery admitted making. Federal tax
officials here understand that at the
time the brewery was raided, books
containing a record OF sales to retalls
were seized.
There is no question but that deal
ers who handled the illegal beer made
at the Montana brewery are liable for
a tax if the government chooses to
act" it was stated Thursday at the
federal tax offices here.
Under rulings now operative. any
dealer who handles alcoholic beverages
are liable for a tax of S1,O25. a
Efficials say unqualifiedly that the
Great Falls brewery will be required to
,ay a tax for the manufacture of
liquor involved in the proprietor's plea
of guilty, and it was stated here re-
Gently by an enforcement Officer that
the owners have offered the govern
ment $40, 900 as q compromise settle
ment.
Tax to Be Determined
Tax officials say, however, that the
amount of tax to be demanded of the
brewery will be determined by the
prohibition department, the tax depart
ment's function being that Of making
the collection after the amount is fixed.
Some difficulty has been experienced
in determining the amount Of the brew
ery's tax, it is said by officials, because
of the supposed fact that no record was
kept of the beer manufactured with
alcoholic content.
The Montana brewery figures in the
Shelley Indictment as n of the firms
alleged to have paid the former director
for the privilege of operating. Dates

lbetter than showings of oil when shoot

'better than showings of oil when shoot
ing made good wells.
The shooting of wells in the field is
yet under difficulties, as all of the nj
troglycerin must be transported by au-
tomobile from the Wyoming fields and
shooters brought from Casper have
done the work. If the principle of
shooting wells is followed, as it now
appears may often be the case, it IS
thought that supplies of explosive will
be kept on hand at the field.
The cost of shooting a well in the
Kevin-Sunburst field now is from 500
to $500. depending upon the size of
the shot placed in the hole. For shoot
ing a well with so quarts, the charge
is about $500, depending somewhat on
the length of time taken in preparing
the well and supervising the cleaning
out.

The man or the store that sits back and says
on account of this, that or something else, times are
dull, usually gets just what is coming to hin.
-Prattle about dullness is a mongrel theory, slred
by mental weakness, mothered by indifference and
nursed by the universal tendency of some individuals
to fight shy of work.
Better to roll up both sleeves instead of spending
time telling other people about the world beng wrong
