he has only run onto that kind. In

Therefore. when Fred Ault. 23-

had a hard time believing him.

This seemed to satisfy Brooks but

Investigators Of the shooting OF a
Wyanotte boatman by a customs

them contradictory stories from the

The story OF the patrolman. Clare

by federal officials. Hopper said
he fired as the boatman. Walter

DANCY AGAINST
Time WARRANTS
Road Program Stand On
Bonds Given Out
BY Judge

With reference to the handling OF
the bond transactions Of the county
Judge Oscar Dancy today offered
the following explanation TO the
public:
Many months ago when 1t looked
rs II our road program was blown
I'D with the first four million and
that we would not be able TO even
issue the fifth million I advocated
the issuance OF time warrants. 70 be
later refunded into bonds. under the
fifteen cent statute. In order to IL
nance certain very important roads.
Hopes High
Now that the fifth million has
been issued and approved and we
have high hopes Of ironing out diff
ficulties so that the sixth will be
soon issued. ! not only am not ad-
vocating such time warrants. but
would be opposed 10 such issuance.
The fifth million has not been
sold, but we have entered into an
agency contract with broker in San
Antonio. coupled with an option ex-
piring June /. 1880. to a New York
house. the New York house TO pay
par and accrued interest. We are
TO pay said agent in San Antonio
three per cent on the principal II
he procures the exercise Of such OPP
ton by Feb. /, with a decrease in
commission of one-half of per-
cent each thirty days thereafter un-
til said option expires.
To Go Slow
I'VE also have agreed that the
sixth million is not to be sold prior
10 Aug. /. 1880. but there is no
option on the sixth million. As the
market Is recovering so slowly, !
very much fear that the option on
the fifth million will not be exer-
cised. II is my opinion. gathered
from exhaustive investigation. that
ninety-five cents now will buy
much more road work than 100
cents will within just a few months.
For S4.933. 100000 in bonds and
s2.000.00 in warrants. we have 1879
miles Of concrete road: Of course

Series ed" Par
1.-The fourth million. series d.
which was sold to Eldredge and
company, brought par and accrued
interest at five per cent from Jan.
j. 1929. We pay out OF the general
fund an agents commission Of five
per cent Of the principal or face OF
the bonds. These bonds draw five
per cent, and 95 for five per cent
bonds is Just about the equivalent
of par for five and one-half per
cent bonds.
The Boca Chica road is TO be
paid for out Of the Brownsville pre-
cinct's proportion Of the fifth ana
sixth million issues. The fourth
has been spent. We have the fifth
and sixth million yet TO spend"

CONSTRUCTION OF CITY
WELL IS PROGRESSING

The Is foot wide we'll which the
city Of P1entywood is now having
dug deeper, is progressing nicely in
spite of the heavy flow of water com-
ing in at the bottom The well was
40 feet deep but the water supply was
not adequate for the regular con
sumption in Plentywood which aver
ages $4,000 gallons per day. A new
contract to dig the well to about twice
the present depth was let to Ludwig
Hareland some time ago but he was
unable to start active work until last
Friday, when he put a crew of eight
men to work there, and by Saturday
might had deeepned the well five
feet, which brought in such a heavy
flow of water that the concrete curb
ing settled down and it is now nec-
essary to build up a concrete curb
at the top. To permit this concrete
to set will require at least a week,
during which the digging will have
to be suspended, as the water now
rises to a depth of 81 feet in the well,
but tests show that it flows only
about 1000 gallon per hour and will
not rise any further.
1t is believed that when the hole is
dug a few feet deeper, the curbing
will settle and shut off the surface
flow which is now a great incon-
venience to the men working at the
bottom of the well, necessitating the
continuous use of electric pumps to
keep the water down low enough to
permit them to work. When this "a
ter flow is cut off, much better time
can be made, and tests have indicat-
ed that at about 80 feet they will en-
counter a heavy flow of soft water,
which will provide at least half a
million gallons per day, if needed.
In tests made, this soft water rises
to within a few feet of the surface of
the ground, and if this holds true
when this we'll is completed there will
be a reservoir Of $4,000 gallons in the
well, besides the 100000 gallon tank
which is kept we'll filled at all times.

PLANS COMPLETED
for CLENDIYE TO
WILLISTON PIPELINE
Work to Start in April and
Plans are to Have it Com
pleted by September LIST

Plans and specifications for the
pipeline To be built from Glendive to
Wiliston by the Montana-Dakota
Power Company have been completed
and inquiries are now out for quo
tations on the necessary pipe and
other material according to an an
nouncement made today by the Will
liston office Of the Montana-Dakota
Power Company. 1t is expected that
deliveries on the pipe line will start
early in March so that the distribu-
ton of pipe can be completed before
the frost leaves the ground in the
spring. The trenching and other
work Will start as soon as the frost
is out of the ground and weather con-
ditions permit.
The time required to lay the 80
miles of main line from Glendive to
Williston should not exceed 12O days
and it is expected that gas service
will be available to customers in all
towns along the line, including Willis
ton, not later than September /, 1880.
The route Of the line will be through
Savage, Sidney and Fairview, making
service available in these three towns
as well as Williston and also the
farms along the route of the line.
The Power Company hopes to COM
plete arrangements with the Holly
Sugar Company at Sidney for the use
of gas in their plant this coming fall.
The company also contemplates the
construction Of a compressor station
on the gas field approximately 40
miles south Of Glendive where the
pressure on the gas going into the
pipeline will be built Of sufficiently
to deliver gas in sufficient quantities

EARL BORLAND'S
BODY FOUND NEAR
WRECKED PLANE
News of Discovery Delayed
by Storm; Vessel to Re-

MOTORSHIP NANUK, North
Cape, Siberia, Feb. 17.-(AP)--Mom-

~seardhes that the body of Carl Ben
Ellison, noted Arctic pilot had been
found officers and crew Of this ice
bound fur trading vessel were pre-
pairing Monday to receive the body
of Earl Borland, Eilson's companion
on their i'll fated flight Nov. 9.
The finding Of Borland's body was
the first actual proof Of the generally
accepted belief that the two men died
in the wreck which occurred while they
were attempting to fly to the Nanuk
from Teller, Alaska.
Bad weather kept Pilot Harold Gil
lam from bringing the news to the
anxious walters here, only 80 miles
from the scene Of the wreck, where
10 men resumed work under revere
conditions to find the other aviators
body.
With fair flying weather it is be-
lieved word Of the finding OF the
second body would reach the Nanuk
sooner than the discovery of Borland
AS the two filters were side by side
in the ship, which was filled with
supplies for the Nanuk, it was be-
lieved here that the body of Eielson
would be found within a short dis
lance from where Borland's was re-
covered from under about five feet
Of snow and ice.
After Borland's body is brought in
it will be taken to the Alaska coast
in one of the planes which has been
here on the search.

Melting Shows Raise
Havoc in P~lentywood

The exceedingly warm weather this
week has melted the two foot blanket
of snow throughout this vicinity and
the sudden rush of water has done a
great deal of damage. Wednesday
evening Easements throughout the
west part of Plentywood commenced
to fill with water, and many were
completely flooded; putting out the
furnace fires as well as spelling ev-
erything that could not be removed
before too late. Gorges are reported
as forming in different places along
the Muddy river and it is possible
some bridges may suffer when these
break. Culverts are being washed out
in many places according to reports.
Yesterday afternoon there vas two
feet of water standing in many places
in Plentywood and cars were employ
ed to bring the school children home.
In some homes boards were nailed at
the bottom of the door frames TO
keep the water from the first floor.
The amount Of damage done by the
water is hard to say at this time.
