CALL MEETING OF
COUNTY BOARD
Supervisors to Meet for
Organization and Elec-
ton on May 5th.
DANCE QUESTION UP
Sunday Dance Hall Problem
May Be Presented to Board
at This Special Meeting.

A call has been sent out for spe~
cial meeting of the county board OF
supervisors of Kenosha county to be
held on May 9TH at 10 a. m, according
to the announcement made this m ORR
ing by County Clerk Charles Holder
ness. This is the regular meeting
called after each election OF county
board members for the purpose of or
ganization and election of officers.
There were number Of changes In
the personnel of the county board at
the recent election and this will neces-
state a complete revamping of the
committees of the board. After the
election of chairman and other offi-
GERS, the board will then proceed to
the election of committees in the reg
uIar routine of business.
The call for the special meeting has
already been signed by large number
of the members of the board and BY
this evening will have the requisite
number of signatures to assure the
meeting.
Consider Dance Problem.
The call states that the meeting Is
for the purpose Of organization and
for such other business as may legal
ly come before the county board"
1t is thought probable that this last
clause will open the way for District
Attorney Lewis Powell to bring before
the board the question of Sunday
dances under the county dance hall or
dinance. Recently this question was
brought into the limelight when re-
quests were made for permits for
holding of dances at a dance hall in
the county at which time the district
attorney, demurred on issuing permit
but finally allowed it to be granted
with statement that he would lay
the entire question before the board
and allow it to decide as to what pol
icy was to be followed
Whether a permit to operate q
dance hall on Sunday can be issued
in the face of state law which pro-
hibits that thing even though that
statute is considered ineffective is a
question to be decided whenever the
problem is put before the board.
May Discuss Court Problem.
The board may also be asked to
discuss the proposal that new spe-
cial municipal court be created to
help relieve the crowded dockets Of
the existina courts in the county. A
proposal to empower the probate judge
to handle certain classes of cases has
also been suggested as method OF
solving this problem and both of these
plans may be discussed at the special
meeting of the board.

BLOCK WOMAN'S
GETTING AWAY
Helen Haines Arrested by
Sheriff's Men in Raid is
Arrested Again.
COMES FROM CHICAGO
Girl Tells District Attorney
She Had Been Here Just
One Week at Farmhouse.

Bonds of 500 were furnished too
quickly Monday afternoon by Helen
Haines, the woman arrested by Cap
tain Steve Robinson and Deputy Ciar-
ence Erickson of the she1lgf's force,
Saturday night, and this morning the
woman found herself in the county
Jail faced with another statutory
charge, more serious one under law,
and one in which the bonds are higher.
Helen Haines was found in a farm
house on the Geneva road east of
Paddock's lake, house which the
sheriff claims was used as a rendezvous
for immoral purposes. The woman is
a stranger here, and is not connected
with any local family of the same
name. She said that she came from
Chicago a week ago.
Is Brought Into Court.
Harry Johnson and Helen Haines
were brought into court as the result
of the arrest by the sheriff's men and
also as a result of an alleged confes-
sion made by the latter in the Office
of the district attorney.
There were two charges against
Johnson, one of unlawful possession
of Intoxicating liquor and the other
of being the keeper of house of i'll
resort. The woman was charged with
being an inmate. The statute provides
that the penalty upon conviction on
the second charge against Johnson
is by imprisonment in the state prison,
but the penalty for being an inmate
Il fine.
Therefore there is a wide margin
between the bonds fixed in each case.
Judge Slater fixed Johnson's bonds at
$1,000, $500 on each charge. Bonds
in the woman's case were set at 500.
Johnson was unable to give bonds and
went to Jail.
Of Course She Wouldn't Go.
Bonds however, were Immediately
put up for the woman, and she was set
at liberty. Sheriff Williams and Cap

TO APPEAL
SENTENCE INFLICTED

Gordon Campbell, dscOverer of the wonderful
Kevin oil field will appeal the San Francisco circuit
court of appeals from verdict in which Great Falls
federal jury Wednesday found him guilty of using
the mails to defraud. The verdict was followed by
sentence, imposed Immediately by Judge George M
Bourqun of two years in the federal prison at Leav-
enworth and fine of ST. 900 and costs of prosecution
The sentence of Mr. Campbell has cast gloom of
sorrow over his many friends in the Kevn field, it
was predicted by most everyone that he would be
found guilty Campbell has very few enemies in this
field, and for that fact he is loved by all who have
made his acquaintance. There many who do not
agree with Mr. Campbell in his business undertakings
but even those are greatly in sympathy with him and
regret that he was found guilty The Review has al
ways held out that Gordon Campbell should be praised
for the discovery of this field, though he makes
mistakes in his business transactions which all do
1t is to be hoped the next hearing that Mr. Camp
bell will be cleared.

sPOP" FRIX SAYS
GOOD BYE TO ALL

Pop" Erik says good bye to
his many friends that he has
made in the last three years in
the Kevin-S -SunIurst field. He is
leaving for Thermopolis, Wyo.,
where he will spend several days
looking after his interests there,
from there he will go to Denver
and get a line on what is doing
at Craig, Colo. 1t is possible that
he will go into New Mexico where
he will spend the balance of the
summer, but really intends to go
to Tampico, Old Mexico this fall
when the weather conditions are
right. Mr.. Erik spent IL years
in Old Mexico and was the first
man that ever built a rig by con-
tract in that country, in 1914.
He left there in 1918 on account
Of maleria. He has lots Of friends
there and is just simply return
ing. He also has four brothers
in Tampico.
A. A. and w. 0. Story have
bought out his business here and
Pop" says they will surely make
good, they have worked for him
for the past five years and at all
times he has found them abso-
lutely honest and reliable, Mr..
Erik considers them by far the
best rig builders in the field, and
he feels no hesientcy in saying
that these boys are capable of
giving the same service that he
did, as there are no changes in
the men, all Of the boys staying
on the job, and they can be found
at the same old stand, phone

FERDlG CONTRACTS
TO DRILL 5 WELLS

An operation agreement under
which S. G. Ferdig, Kevin opera
tor, takes over from the Sunburst
Oil & Gas company 200 acres of
land in section 3-342w, and will
drill five wells there has been
completed, it was announced in
Great Falls Wednesday by L. G..
Stevenson, head Of the Sunburst
interests. The land is described
as the n NV, W ne and NV Sc in
section 3.
Under the terms of the agree
ment the Sunburst company as
signs to Ferdig an interest in the
acreage in consideration of the
immediate drilling of five wells
and the eventual drilling out Of
the tract. The tract is a mile
east of the Johnson, Shoshone
and Queen city wells which gave
this section Of the field much
prominence during the last year.
Ferdig is one Of the most sue
cessful Independent opera ors in
northern Montana, according to
Great Falls oil men. He started
on a small scale and now is repu-
ted to have a larger individual
income from oil than any other
independent Kevin producer.
The greater portion of his opera
tions have been confined to the
Anderson tract, on which he has
completed IA wells without a dry
hole. He now has three strings
of tools at work on new wells on
the Anderson lease.

PITTS TELLS OF
kelvin FIELD
Kelvin Field Destined to Grow
lnio an important Source
Says Denver Man

With 231 producing oil wells.
distributed in five townships, the
Kevin field in Toole county, Mon
tana, is destined to grow into an
important source of oil product
ion, according to Eddie Pitts,
formerly of Denver, who arrived
here from that field yesterday. :"
says the Denver Times. The oil
field is only a few miles south of
the Canadian border, north of
Great Falls, east of Glacier Park.
As a rule, if there are two
or three square miles in a town
ship that are producers, the field
is called good, said Mr.. Pitts,
but in the Kevin field distri-
button much larger than this is
the rule. AS an example of the
field, on the Anderson farm of
320 acres there are 16 producing
wells and 40 standard locations.
+" It requires only from Is to
30 days to drill well, the depth
varying from 1 400 to 1900 feet.
There will be 200 new wells drill
ed this year.
The wonder we'll of Kevin
is in the northern end of the field,
where nearly 100000 barrels of
oil have come from six feet of
sand. The field extends from
there southwark. with wells com
ing in all around the line. The
field is approximately seven miles
north and south and ten miles
east and west
"Mr. Pitts has been in the Ke-
Win field for the last five years.
He is an independent operator
and dealer in land, different
from others because | haven't
any stock for sale, as he says.
Shelby, scene of the Dempsey
Gibbons fight, that was supposed
to have sunk out of sight follow
ing that contest, is coming back
strong through oil, according to
Mr.. Pitts. 1t is the county seat
Of Toole county. The district is
served by the Great Northern
railroad. ct. Falls Leader.

Potlach Crew Recover
Tools in Deep Test.

Interest in the Potlach deep
test well was sharply revived Fri
day when string Of lost tools
was recovered after a fishing job
of six weeks. Drilling will be re-
sumed as soon as possible and a
completion of the test is expected
within short time. The bit, at
about 400 feet, is only so feet
from a possible producing forma-
ton.
1t would be impossible to esti-
mate in advance the full effect
that would result to the field if
the Potlach were to be a success
full completion. 1t would demon
strate, among other things, the
accuracy of the present theory
that much, or all of the product
ion now found in the Ellis is a
seepage from below the Madison
lime, and would indicate that a
second oil horizon underlies the
field.

Queen City Flow Increased

Instead Of diminishing its flow after the fashion wells have
following the initial burst Of OIL the Queen City No TO-,
peted the Of the kevn field further distinguished itself
Friday BY increasing gusher production the third day after
it
The WE'LL completed last Wednesday, first showed pipe
line Of slightly than $500 barrels day and
Thursday this increased nearly 5000 barrels Friday, the
mark advanced full 200 barrels hour, 4600 barrels
day, and far could be observed still increasing
All Of the made by the wells have been through
single hreench ppe which permits flow Of considerable less
than the natural output Estimates the extent which the
well shut in vary from one-hd to oneha which would FIX
the total Of Fridays natural flow around 800 barrels
The AFRO Oil & Refining company Of Lewisown, Of
which Harry Swaz president has contracted for the entire
output Of the Queen City Oil company This will swell the
production considerably Of the Arro the production Of the

BIG WEST SUED
FOR DAMAGES

Through his attorneys, Jean
Hasquet last week filed suit a.
gainst the Big West Oil company
for damages in the sum of $685.
454.84.
Hasquet claims damages be-
cause he alleges the Big West
failed to cancel a lease it held on
plaintiffs property, which prop
erty was subsequently sold under
mortgage foreclosure sale by a
loan company. Hasquet claims
that in 1922 he was offered S35
per acre for his lease providing
he could cancel the old lease.
This he alleges he was unable to
do, with the result that he could
not obtain money necessary for
redemption of the property in
question, and lost title.
Hasquet is suing for the esti-
mated value of the 121a per cent
royalty he would have held had
he retained possession. The land
in question is the swA, 81, nw4,
section 5, seA, sHneA, sHnw4,
n3sw4 section 6, all in township
"a north of range one west.
Clinton & Thorne represent
Hasquet in this action, which is
the largest damage suit ever filed
in Toole county. Promoter.
