worse killers than the heavily loaded

There were almost twice as many

Drilling Operations
Begin Near Whitehall
FIRST WELL TO BE SUNK ON j.
S. WILEY FARM A MILE EAST
OF WHITEHALL.

Three carloads of drilling machin-
cry passed through Plentywood Sun
day night, enroute to Whitehall,
where drilling operations are being
started this week.
The first we'll to be put down will be
drilled under the supervision of
Harry Morris if Shelby, who is well
experienced in this work. This we'll
will be on the j. S. Wiley place, one
mile east of Whitehall, on section 10.
The spot was located by P. H. Lund,
geologist from Shelby.
A standard drilling rig will be used,
with a derrick 85 feet high and capa-
BILE of drilling as deep as 5000 feet.
However, it is expected that the first
oil bearing strata will be encountered
at between 1900 and 1000 feet. The
we'll will be started with diameter
of 20 inches, and will be tapered off
as it gets deeper, ending with an s
inch hole. The casing will be put down
in full lengths thus making it possible
to pull it out if such becomes necess-
ary. Biologists who have surveyed the
Whitehall field state that it is almost
a certainty that oil will be struck at a
depth of about 1900 or 1000 feet
Among the parties Interested in the
first test we'll are Geo. A. Ure, Judge
o. w. Schoengarth and j. c. Caldwell
all of Nielsvile, Wis.

SCHOOL NOTES

The Plentywood high school foot.
ball team journeyed to Antelope and
played them scrimmage game or
Wednesday Of last week. The Score
ended 400 in favor of Plentywood
The Antelope team came to Plenty
wood on Wednesday of this week and
the score was ????-
Plentywood plays football at Scobey
on Saturday, October 9th. We will
need about six cars to transport the
players to the game. Please let us
know if you can come with us.
Examinations are being given this
week. This means the end of the first
six weeks period. Parents should
check the report cards carefully on
Wednesday of next week to determine
what type of work their children are
doing in school. If not satisfied with
the results, get in touch with the
school.
The state high school inspector was
here on Thursday and Friday, giving
us the once over. AS usual the school
was 0. X. in every respect.
The Scobey Plentywood game which
was to have been played at Plenty
wood on Saturday of this week was
changed to Friday so that it might
be a part of the regular Fair pro-
gram. 1t is hoped that goodly crowd
will see the game and learn the rudi-
ments of the play.
The next football game to be played
at home will be on Saturday, October
18th, at 800 P. M. 1t is hoped that
we may have a much larger crowd
out to witness the game than we had
on Saturday of last week. If you have
never seen foot ball game, you will
never learn to appreciate one until
you come out and watch one. Foot
ball is more interesting than basket
ball once person understands the
game. You can't learn any younger.
1t is interesting to note how the
student population of school
changes in few years time. Four
years ago there were 18 graduates
from our eighth grade department.
These should all have been in the
graduating class of this year, but
we find that there are but 7 of the
18 in school. Of the other ii the
2 girls are married, and the 3 boys
have dropped from school altogether

RAID VICTIMS
JAILED; DUNN
DRAWS 20 DAYS

AS a result of the raid at Plenty
wood when booze by the wholesale
and Monte Carlo gambling devices
were confiscated, George Dunn, alleg-
ed owner of one of the joints, was
fined 5000 and given a Today Jail
sentence in federal court.
All Eaton, drew 30 days and a SIS
fine, and Ray Thompson of the Stew
art joint was fined $50, given 30-day
suspended Jail sentence and released
on probation for one year.
Ellen Johnson, landlady at another
dive, was fined $3.50, given a 60 day
suspended sentence and released on
probation for three years.
Bob Norris, former printer at the
Producers News office, was fined $50
and given 30-day suspended SEN
tence.
Rankin Wakes Up
Wellington D. Rankin, District At
torney, is said to have been vigorous
in his prosecution of the bunch gath
, cred in by federal men. Rankin has
apparently discovered that the people
of Sheridan county don't approve of
J nothing but politics in the office of
the District Attorney. However, it is
! not known whether or not Mr.. Rankin
| assured the defendants that their
dives would not be closed by abate-
ment. A paltry fine and a few days
in Jail mean nothing as long as the
| joints are permitted to operate and
the dollars roll in by the thousands.

TWO CHILDREN
BADLY BURNED
In FIRE HERE
WOLFE HOUSE DESTROYED IN
SATURDAY EVENING BBLAZE;
NEARBY RESIDENCE SAVED

Goldie Baker was seriously burned
and her brother Cisco also burned, al
though not so badly, in fire that de-
stroyed the A. E. Wolfe home occu-
pied by the Baker family in the south
part of town, Saturday night.
Miss Baker had been cleaning
clothing with gasoline, which she had
in an open pail. She left the vessel
setting near stove when she stepped
outside for moment. Upon returning
she found the gasoline in flames, and
in an attempt to smother the fire,
threw some clothing over the pail
However, this resulted in an explo-
sion, the burning gasoline being
thrown to all parts of the room. Her
brother, Cisco, who was nearby, was
burned n one leg, but not badly. He
is now convalescing nicely at the To-
cal hospital.
Goldie was badly burned about the
face and arms, but the injuries
though, very painful, are not consid-
cred critical. She is now at the hos
pital, where she is getting along as
well as could be expected.
The fire alarm was turned in, but
too late to save the building When
the department arrived on the scene
the building was SO far gone that the
efforts Of the department were con-
fined to saving a residence nearby,
which was badly scorched, and
drenched by water.
The destroyed building was not in
sured
