AMERICUS HI DEFEATS
nONTEZUMA. 8 To 8
Game Was Rather Slow-LocaIs
Played Loose Game Of
Ball
By JOHN WEST SHEFFIELD

The baseball squad representing
Montezuma Hi went down to defeat
Tuesday afternoon before the attack
OF c. S. Tidwell's aggregation. The
game, although it was a rathc- slow
one, had few exciting mements.
Especially during the 9th inning
When the visitors succeeded in get
ting one-run lead on the local.
Inc local boys played a loose game
OF ball They also made more er-
forS than their opponents. The on
iy word l can use to express it is
they played with a don't -give-a-
dam spirit. From the looks of
things instead of the score being
0-3 (as it was) it would have been
about 100 if the home town bunch
had only frightened down q little
more. The visitors made all of
their hits and runs in one inning.
Just one man got the third sack
during all other periods.
During the last two inning Coach
Tidwell put all of his second string
players m and he also made several
other changes. Reed pitched in the
seventh and eighth and DIN Jones
pitched in the ninth. Both Of these
boys made a good account of them
selves.
In all, the local team got ten hits
to the visitors three. Darby Reed
got the only three-bagger and as
luck would have it there wasn't a
soul on the bases. Devaughn, Of
Montezuma, got the only two-bag
ger. This hit was the one that gave
the visitors the lead for a short
time. In the art of stealing bases,
Americas put it all over their OPP
ponent. The Montezuma boys stole
only one base during the game
while the Americas bodys stole Z.
The best playing for the visitors
was pulled off by Hamilton who was
holding down shortstop. Hemphill,
who was hurting for Montezuma, al
so did good work. he struck out
five of the local boys while the
. Americas batter struck out Ia mem
bers of his squad.
For Americas, Jap Parker seems
to have been the shining light. A
rather singular incident happened
during the game concerfng JAP.
He plays second base, and is second
man in batting opdery When 1t
was two outs, two strikes and two
balls he ups and knocks two-bag-
ger which brings two men in home,
makes us two runs ahead of Monte
yuma and gives Jap second place IN
the batting average and to end it

Chapter XVII
The Burning Raft.


A quarter of an hour after Mer-
cedes caught her first glimpse Of the
lake, she stood at the waters edge.
Her eyes swept the shore-line in ev-
cry direction, but she caught sight
of no moving thing. Far away to the
south the top Of the wall that held
back the water showed a low gray
gray streak against the horizon.
NO trace OF the men she pursued
had been left on the rocky land
where she stood. She rode an ever
enlarging semi-circle lin the hope of
picking up her trail. Half an hour S
patient work rewarded her with
| clear-cut footprints in the sand to
the north. The horses that made
them were going in that direction,
/ too.
Her tedious progress took from
her the last bit of strength she pos
sessed. But had she been able to
double her pace, she would have
hardly caught up with her brother.
Neither he nor Bodine had stopped
once in their Wild ride from Webster
Greek to peer back for possible pur-
suit. Romero had attended to that
on his own initiative. But they had
y4oa nearly two hours ahead of Mor-
~oaes, they had cut through Acklin's
uounuy as they had planned.
LeteUan had reached the little
cove below Coal creek by time his
sister had turned into the eastern
leg Of their trail. His companions
we're right behind him. Bodine gave
the orders from then on.
with expert hands, he crumbled
the dynamite and heated it, While
he was getting the grease that he
wanted Romero and Esteban fash
ioned the raft that was to carry tn-er
instrument of destruction. Suck was
ready as soon as they were. Edoh
one of them had come in loaded
down with material to supplement-
The iron and steel Buck had already
cached for the bomb.
Esteban wondered at the big fell
lows deftness as he watched him
work.
He nailed an eight-food cedar sap
ling spar-fashion at the end of the
raft, and on this he looped and wired
his long, slow-burning fuse.
Pour the oil over the front of it
now" he commanded when he had
finished. "Once this fuse burns
down to it, she'll blaze up like a
house afre.
Esteban flung his empty can into
the water.

PEOPLE would be right in the path Of
the food.

Oil Nets Over
Million Each
Month to u. S.
M uy Returns on Royalties
Bring $l,l3l, 4o7; Wyoming
IS Leading State

Washington, July 5.-Oil and
gas royalties accruing to the fed
eral government from leased
public lands in Montana, Wyo-
ming, California and Colorado
amount to over 81 100000 month
ly, interior department officials
say. During May, such royalties
amounted to 81 1853, 300, over one
third of which was paid from
Wyoming. The sum Of 81, ,131 ,497
was credited to Wyoming; $685.
351 to California, and $33 ,446 to
Montana.
Under the provisions of the
general leasing act, the federal
government retains title to it's
oil lands, but develops them by
granting permits to prospect for
oil and gas. In proven territory.
the government grants leases to
operate. In this way, by retain
ing ownership of the property,
the government is able to exact
a royalty of from one-eight to
one-third Of the oil and gas pro-
duced. These royalties amount to
S24,000,000 to date, S14,O00,000
having been received since 1920.
Since 1920, the interior depart
ment approved 36l leases and 10,-
81 oil and gas permits.
Revenue from the naval pet
roleum reserves is paid either in
cash or in ail 30 the navy depart
ment. Ten per cent revenue from
leased public lands outside the
naval reserves goes into tn e
United States treasury and more
than covers the cost Of enforcing
the act. Twenty per cent of back
royalties and 375a per cent of |
subsequent earnings from these
lands are paid to the particular
state within whose boundaries |
the leased lands are situated, to
be used for the maintenance of /
public roads orpublic institutions. |
The reclamation service receives |
20 per cent of back royalties and
52d per cent Of subsequent earn
ings for irrigation project con-
struction.

Drilling Deeper at
Gladys Belle Well

The Gladys Belle-Brown we'll
of the Gladys Belle Oil and Rein
ing company in 1874 e, in the
Sweet Grass hills according to
reports from there is looking
good and drilling for the Koot-
enai and Ellis is continuing, the
first located at about l 800 and
the second at obout 2, 400, accord
ing to the log of the district.
The striking of a strong showing
of oil in the lower Colorado at
,76O feet last week is taken by
the Gladys Belle people, a n d
drilling contractor S. 7. Hastings
as encouraging, and work will
be pushed to completion. Samples
of the Gil showing received here
show a crude O f Al per cent
gravity, with a heavy gasoline
content.
The we'll is 80 miles northeast
of the producing section OF the
Kevin field and is the largest
gasser in the state, the gas be-
fore being cased off being gaug-
ed by Mr.. Hastings at the well
as follows:
At 1858 feet, 100000 cubic
feet of gas; l SOB feet, 100000
cubic feet of gas; at 1908 feet,
II, 100000 feet of gas. The test
in each case was made after the
other flows had been completely
shut off. The Gladys Belle COM
pany has had its own gauging
apparatus at the we'll to test each
flow as it came in.
The field in which the Gladys
Belle-Brown well is being drilled
covers about $4,000 acres. of
which the Gladys Bell holds 49,
900, and the bringing in of oil
there would mean the opening Of
a large territory.
