runaway path.
Hoza LATHE, negro, one of the four
men held in the Investigation, said
he fired the engine and was waiting
near by in a shanty for the crew to
take it over. Suddenly he saw it start
and thought the crew had taken
charge, he said, until he saw a man
jump from the cab. Elmer Howard,
Peter Cake and Max Orr, all in the
shanty at the time, also are being held.
A derail wrecked the runaway en-
CINE Just before it reached the main

tender for the Democratic nomination
for president, made a brief speech
here, April II, from the train platform.

ton by a crowd, although no arrange

and partisan denominations that has
followed the war and declared that if
elected president he would drive the
corruptionists not only from Wash

OIL NEWS
7REASUREST17EACHVITY
BRETT YRECOUNTED

Shooting the Dry Forks well near
Conrad would make it a small com
merciai well at 2,746 feet, according
to N. F. Jameson, g~eologist and en-
gineer. He said that there was a very
nice showing of oil in a sand which is
apparently 80 feet thick. 'AThey have
drilled about 700 feet into the lime
said Mr.. JamisOn, "and if cross-sec-
lions check up with examinations ]
have made of that district, the lime
should be about $50 feet thick, which
means that they will strike the De
vonian at about 1880 feet, as the oil
was found last week at about 2,740
feet depth. Samples of the oil which
| brought back with me show a heavy
parafine base, considerable ~lubricating
content and from % to "a per cent
gasoline"
Milestone was thrown into a new
excitement by news that both oil and
gas were coming up from within the
casing of Ragged Point well. James
Fealey, in charge Of the well since the
close of operations just before Christ
mas, with his assistants, removed a
string of drill stem that had beer left
suspended in the hole over winter, and
following this a gas pressure was re-
leased, the noise from which left no
doubt as to its source. Since then gas
has steadily risen through the several
hundred feet of mud in the hole and
mas been accompanied by oil in small
but unmistakable quantity.
The first oil refinery for western
Montana is announced by G. w. Hart
of Hodges to be built on a site four
miles east of Missoula, where a site
has been secured, and the new pro-
posed industry is being promoted here
Materials for the refinery are now IN
the way to Missoula and it is expected
that the crude oil shipments will start
within two weeks. A special rate has
been guaranteed by the Milwaukee,
which will haul crude oil at a 30-cent
tariff from the Winnett wells to the
Missoula refinery.
EncounIering of strong showing of
oil on the Jerome Belts ranch, Coal
Bridge anticline, seven miles south of
Stockett, has been followed by the re-
cording of Is assignments of oil and
gas leases in the county clerks office
of Cascade county, from j.. H. Beam
to the Tiger Butte Oil and Gas COM
pany. Beam is one of the several men
who financed and drilled the Belts
ranch well and his assignments of leas-
es cover acreage in the vicinity of the
well.
The International Auto club of Shef-
by is engaged in establishing agents
and filling stations to handle the prod
uct of the Absher refinery located
in the Kevin-Sunburst field. They
have contracted with the Absher re-
finery to sell their product on a CO.
operative plan, the purchaser being a
member of the club, and entitled to-
certain price concessions.

firemen and spectators suffered minor
hurts when a four-story stone and
brick building housing a west side
box factory collapsed Friday night,
April IS, while scores of firemen were
battling the flames. Two bodies have
been recovered.
Firemen first to arrive on the scene
found the entire upper story of the
brick structure, located at Blue Island
avenue and Fourteenth street, in
flames, and calls were sent in for
more apparatus. The firemen mount
ed to the third floor in an effort to
confine the flames to the floor above
them.
AS the roof started to buckle, fire
men were ordered from the blazing
building. Some of them stepped to the
roof Of a building adjoining, but about
a dozen attempted to escape by way of
a fire escape.
Some of these firemen were toppled
into the blazing building when the roof
collapsed, carrying two floors with II,
these being followed by an explosion,
which sent the front wall crashing to
the ground.
Firemen estimated the damage at
S250,OO0, making a total loss of three
quarters of a million dollars for the
day, for this fire and another in the
stockyards, which partly destroyed
three warehouses of Armour & Com
