figured that the scandal Of the
winter might upset the apple cart.
and q lot of real fans began to be-
lieve that the game wasn't on the

that ] never knew OF, crooked

Ball players are honest, just the

hear some fellow putting baseball
on the pan always have to hold
myself to keep from seeking him.
I don't like to be too personal
In these little stories, but this
first one Of the season gives
me . hunch for some personal
stuff. I'm In great shape. All

right here that I'm perfectly salts

played mighty square with me and

him. I'm perfectly satisfied and
I'm happy. And just being down
here with the gang and swinging

field makes me feel like kid again.

be IN there trying every minute.

Judge Furber Hears
Interesting Case

A very interesting case was heard
in Judge Furber's court last week,
that Of the State Of Montana versus
M. r. Smith. Smith was tried for is
suing fraudulent checks. 1t seems
that Smith gave several of these
checks to Kevin people and signed
the name 81 the B. E. Adams Oil
company. Judge Furber, after hear
ing the evidence, ordered Smith to
leave the state, under a sentence of
five months. This we believe, was
a very advisable thing to do. En-
tirely too much Of this check writing
is going on in Toole county, and the
business men are to blame to q GER
tain extent, for the reason that they
should know who they are dealing
with. and hould take no chances.
Too little prosecuting has been done
in this matter It is a penitentiary
offense to issue worthless checks, or
forgery, and the man who does these
things should be prosecuted to the
utmost This is not the first offense
that this man Smith has been prose
cuted for, for writing worthless
checks. as a similar charge was
placed against him last winter for
the same crime. It might be WE'LL
for others to take warning of the
jolt that Justice Furber has handed
Smith and see that you do not get
into the same difficulty.

Of four and one-quarter inch casing
which is to be set at depth Of
slightly more than 1900 feet, accord

A flow Of gas, estimated at 1000

Deyonian formation at 1850 feet and
the flow increased as the hole was
drilled deeper The top Of the Devon
ian was found at $3.50 feet and the
hole is now approximately 2,6sO feet
deep.
The well has about 1000 feet Of
water in the hole, which comes from
the base Of the Madison limestone.
The flow Of water is not great, how
ever, and the hole can be emptied by
