Err FIRST
In the case of the United States
government against Gordon Cann-
bell and L. c.. Stevenson, charged in
indictments with using the mails to
defraud in connection with the early
exploitation cf the Kevin-Sunburst
oil field which was set for April 10
and setting vacated yesterday bv
Judge Charles n. Pray in the feder-
al court, United States District At
torney John l.. Slattery said the
case would be made later, prob
ably after May 1. The case against
Gordon Campbell, E. J. DAILY and C.
F. Bloomhuv, based on similar indict-
ments and yesterday vacated from
April 10 and reset for May 1, viii be
the first to come on, following the
/ close Of the Senator B. K Wheeler
i hearing. The Camp Stevenson
i case viii probably be set to follow
both. Attorney Slattery stated to
the court that the counsel for the de-
tense in each of the Campbell cases
had requested that the setting of the
two cases be vacated and reset fol-
lowing the Wheeler case, and that he
had consented to the change.
Gordon Campbell, the principal in
the two cases named, is the disc0Verer
Of the Keyin-SEnburst oil field and
is the man upon whose behalf Sena-
tor Wheeler is alleged to have acted
Improperly in land matters in which
the government was interested and
is the man who is alleged to have
given the Montana senator a $4,000
retaining fee for his services as an
attorney. E. J. Daley and c. F.
il Bloomhuff, indicted with Campbell,
were employees Of Campbell during
his first campaign of advertising.
j Daley went from here TO Texas and
was one Of those indicted at Fort
: Worth about two years ago, on q
] charge Of fraudulent use Of the mails.
/ He received a conviction and one
r year in Leavenworth. Stevenson, who
: is a defendant with Campbell in the
/ second case was formerly a partner
I Of Campbell in the north oil field be-
r fore oil discovery, and divided up the
t field, Campbell taking the Kelvin side
I and Stevenson the Sunburst or east
] side of the field. While Campbell
brought in oil in the field first, Stew
I venson brought in the first real com
D mercial well and has been the most
: active oil operator in Montana from
r that date with scores Of operating

Y rich of Idaho presiding. Hotel reser-
t vations are being made by newspaper

PIUTE INDIANS HONOR
WHITE MEN AT CEDAR CITY

From the interior department came
word today of an interesting cere-
mony that occurred at Cedar City.
Utah, gateway to the magnificent
Zion national park and Bryce Canyon
region Of southwestern Utah.
For the second time in the history
OF the Pah Utes, popularly known as
Piedes or PiHtes, white men, in sim
pie and impressive ceremonies, were
initiated into the tribe and became
full Pah Utes according to tri-
bal customs. The men so honored
were William R. Palmer, national Sec
retary- treasurer. of the Canyon club,
and Bishop Ivens of the Mormon
church. The placing of the mantle of
brotherhood upon the shoulders of the
initiates and passing Of the pipe of
peace terminated the ceremonies.
Bishop Ivens and Mr. Palmer were so
honored because Of assistance they
had rendered the Piutes in making it
possible for them TO better their living
conditions.
The only other white man to receive
this distinction at the hands of the
Piute Indians was Major John Wesley
Powell, explorer of the Colorado river
in 1871 and one of the first white
men to visit what are now the Grand
Canyon and Zion national parks.
