Holds Transfer to Sinclair
Was Through Collusion
With Fall.
TEARS OFF VEIL
Justice Butler in Handing
Down Decision Excori-
ates Deal.

WASHINGTON Oct. 10 QB-Withir
a week of his trial on a criminal
conspiracy charge growing out of the
lease of Teapot Dome, Harry F. Sin
clair lost in the supreme court today
his fight to retain possession of the
Teapot naval reserve in Wyoming
In ordering the return Of the vast
petroleum field to the government
the highest court held that "all the
facts and circumstances require" a
finding that the lease and .agreemen,
attending its transfer were made
fraudulently by means of collusion
and conspiracy" between the wealthy
Oil operator and Albert B. Fall, as
interior secretary.
Fall is to come to trial with Sin
clair next Monday in the District OF
Columbia supreme court and in ask
ing for their conviction of conspiracy
to defraud the government, the special
oil counsel will present to the trial
Jury substantially the same set OF
facts upon which the United States
supreme court predicated it's findings
Some surprise was manifest that
the court handed down its decision
in advance of the criminal trial, but
the ruling itself was as had been
expected since the highest tribunal
previously had found for the govern
ment in the equally celebrated case
involving the lease of the Elk Hills
naval Oil reserve in California tc
Edward L. Doheny.
AS net result of these decisions
the government gets back the two
Oil fields which passed from its pos
session nearly six years ago under
circumstances which aroused tfe
senate and finally led to an investi-
cation disclosing a scandal which
literally rocked the country three
years ago.
Besides recovering the oil fields, the
government obtained approximately
$13.0OO,000 millions of dollars from
Doheny, and naval experts figured
roughly it will be enriched by ap-
prOximately $5,2O0,O0O by the Sinclair
decision besides obtaining storage
tanks and oil at Portsomuth, NJ H.
placed there for the navy by Sinclair
under the terms of the lease.
Whether Fall was bribed by tht
payments of liberty bonds he re.
ceived from Sinclair or other sources
during or after the negotiations fol
the Teapot Dome lease, the supreme
court did not undertake to say, sine,

RAPID CITY, S. D., June 2.-If
Calvin Coolidge comes back from his
vacation this summer wearing a ten
gallon hat, chaps, and trusty six
shooter, therell be a reason; he is
going to spend his vacation in the
heart of the country made famous
by the infamous yellow-backed dime
novel.
In the Black Hills canyons to the
north and south and west of the
summer White House near Rapid
City are the ghosts of more two-gun
men than Bill Hart and Tom Mix
together ever impersonated IN the
movies.
Twice a month, Deadwood Dick,
with his one eye and his sawed off
shotgun loaded with buckshot. and
two pearl-handled six-shooters at his
belt, used to ride through this coun-
try sitting on a Wells.Fargo safe
filled with 100000 in gold, shooting
his way clear to Omaha.
Buried EN- Often
In White Rock cemetery, north
of Deadwood, they used to bury a
man every morning before breakfast.
Here now repose the bones of i'm
mortal wild Bill' Hickock, who
had forty notches on his gun.
Also, there was Calamity Jane,
who threw away her women's
clothes, dressed as man, was a
mule skinner for Custer, the Indian
fighter, and the toughest, hard
swearing. hard-riding, hard-drinking
woman who ever graduated from the
school of experience.
She was a Missouri preachers
daughter. Single-handed, she cap
tured Mccall, Hickock's slayer, with
a butchers cleaver.
Belle Fourche, just few miles
farther north, is still the scene OF
one of the best rodeos and round
ups in the West
Found Gold There
ONLY a little more than fifty years
ago all this country was bowling
wilderness. Then one of Clusters
scouts discovered gold.
1t was a country so bad that there
is a monument erected in the town
of Custer to Mrs. Anna D. Talent,
the first white woman who dared set
foot in the region.
There are two other famous mon
uments in the hills. One, outside
the town of Deadwood, is erected to
Theodore Roosevelt.
The other monument Is erected to
the first "sky pilot" in Deadwood,
Preacher Smith, who marched right
into Nutshell Bills" saloon, made
them clear away the bottles from
the bar and abandon the faro and
poker tables while he conducted di-
vine services and passed the hat for
collection of gold dust and mug
gets.
Famous Mine at Lead
Not far away from Rapid City,
too, is the city Of Lead, with its
famous Homestake mine, which has
been worked for more than fifty
years and produces about $4,000, 900
worth of gold a year.
