TWO BANDITS ROB
 SPORTING GRILL

Somerville, Mass, Jan. 3-UP>- Two bandits, one intoxicated, es- capped with $500 early today after a fist fight at the Sportsmen's Grill. The pair gained admittance by tell ing Francis J. Coyne, Jr., IS, son of the proprietor, that they wanted to speak to the bartender. Once inside, the drunken bandit held young Coyne at gunpoint while his un- armed companion went to an inner office to interview the proprietor.
 The elder Coyne swung at the bandit as he entered the office and they fought their way into the main room. Seeing the gunman, Coyne stopped fighting and pleaded for the youths safety. The drunken bandit pulled the trigged, however, but the gun misfired.
 Coyne then opened the safe and the pair fled with $500 in Coyne's automobile.

Waterbury's controller, Daniel J. Leary, attended his last board of finance meeting recently.

It will be the first grand jury called to Waterbury in numerous years.

SITDOWH
HIHOT Plan

The market situation in northern
Montana marked time this week
while producers who have not sign
ed up their production sat back in
an undeclared sit down strike and
talked In terms of higher prices
for their oil.
One refinery project stood still,
as a result, with the possibility that
1t will be abandoned, unless the
producers themselves revive It.
While there is considerable crude
seeking a market, both in Cut
Bank and Kevin-Sunburst, there are
not enough producers who will sign
fiye-year contracts to justify tho
construction Of a $4,000 refinery
at MinOt, n. d. Sponsors Of the
project, headed by Wilfred and
George Nadeau, A. B. Cobb, w. NJ.
Fulton and others, have expended
the necessary funds TO secure a
site, to contract for the sale OF all
the gasoline, tractor fuel, fuel oil,
and road oil that the plant can pro-
duce; have secured a freight rate
that will make possible a price Of
$1.1O for the oil. on the present
refinery price structure, and have
arranged for finances to construct
the plant, providing adequate crude
reserves can be shown to amortize
the investment
In the face of this set-up, the
Minot deal is today stalemated for
lack OF five-year crude reserves.
This Is the statement OF Wdifred
Nadeau president OF the newly in
corporated Dakota Refining COM
pany
Thus far, the only producers who
have secured a market for their oil
are the ones who have made some
investment in refineries, either in
cash outlay or in concessions in the
price Of crude. Those who have not
into one or other OF the re-
anery projects will be with no mar
ket this winter.

TEARING UP
PIPELINE TO
SWEETGRAS

Severing the final pipeline link
between Kevin-Sunburst field and
Coutts-Sweetgrass, crews this week
began tearing up the north end 81
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES link Of
the Montana Pipeline company line
from the East Sunburst pool
The line Of the Illinois Pipeline
company from Sunburst to Coutts
was recently torn up, after running
the last 10000 barrels Of storage
oil Of British American from the
Sunburst tank farm.
The Montana Pipeline system was
recently purchased by LaRue Smith
and associates of Great Falls from
Transit & Storage company, Montana
subsidiary of Imperial Oil Co.,
which is now entirely removed from
the Montana oil industry. It ia
understood that the entire system IS
to be torn up. to be used for gas
line. Included in the system is
lis, 900 feet Of 4-inch pipe; 10000
feet of 3-inch pipe and $4,000 feet
Of two-inch pipe.
Tankage and a large amount Of
fittings and refinery equipment in
the Transit & Storage warehouse
in Kevin-Sunburst are being sold
by the new owners.
Abandonment of the lines from
Sunburst field TO the Canadian
border followed the development OF
Turner Valley oil field which dis
placed Montana oil in the prairie
provinces. The British-American
plant at Coutts has been operated
'or the last two months as a top
ping plant, to use up the last of

This syndicate was founded by
the late Ed Lawler. Hardin theater
man, and william Hoer, the sheep
herder geologist" who was one of
the earliest proponents OF oil at
Cut Bank Hoer interested Lawler
in the field and Lawler in turn
convinced r. c. Tarrant, whose first
wells brought about the rapid de-
velopment OF the Cut Bank area.
Before the field came into produc-
ton Lawler and HOer had lost all
OF their leases save the 80 acres
belonging to Harlan, a policeman.
On this tract they have completed
three fine producers, providing IL
nancial competence for Hoer and
for the heirs OF Lawler who saw
the completion Of the first two
wells.

WELL STANDS
full Of OIL

New geological evidence has been
developed by the last well com
pIeted in Mosser dome, southwest
OF Laurel, which indicates better
producers may be completed in the
future, according to r. G. Tarrant,
Cut Bank operator who controls
Mosser dome.
The recently completed Sayre No.
5, Sc NBH SWA 26-3S-24E, was
drilled only one foot into the From
tier sand and when rods and tub
ing were run this week the fluid
stood so feet in the hole which is
only 979 feet deep.
A fault parallel to the big From
berg fault is believed responsible
for the fact that this producer is
higher structuraIly than the others
which developed water. Future
wells will be drilled only a few
inches in the sand, to avoid the
water.
The new Sayre well belongs to
California corporation that is just
entering Montana and Wyoming.
This corporation has taken over
part of the structure. Tarrant
moved over and spudded his Kelly
No. well, an offset to the Sayre
No. and slightly higher on struc-
ture, near the parallel fault, as
by Geologist Joe Irwin.

Decision to whipstock and drill
by lost tools and proceed with the
deep test on Pendroy structure, west
of Pondera oil field, rather than a.
bandon and start new hole, was
reached this week by officials OF

The proposed Devonian test IS

on the Wallenstein ranch and stands
at 2525 feet In the top of the Mad

manner that they could not be
fished out. The S-inch casing was
finally pulled and the tools have
now been cemented off and drilling

On the "low" side of the Pendroy
fault a second well Is being drilled
with portable rotary tools by 70

tary, the first Of It's kind ever used
in Montana, set surface casing and
then shut down to build housing
for the equipment and an 8A-foot
derrick will replace the mast which
was used during spudding. The
drill pipe is in 10-foot sections and
the derrick Will make It possible to
handle six or seven sections at
time. Eight-inch tools will be used
to drill to the top OF the lime. un-
less oil is found in the Cut Bank
sand at lesser depth. The first diff
ficulty overcome was the loss OF

This was solved by the use OF

The people of Montana, however
are not in the habit OF laying down
and taking it on the chin without
fight. The oil producer Of northern
Montana, being good citizen, de
cided to look around and see whai
could be done about the situation
He found that the people of Mon
| tana would give their support to
movement to encourage the use OF
Montana crude oil for Montana gas
oline. Then when the Shelby Lions
Club organized the BUY MONTANA
movement things began to happen
People demanded MONTANA PRO
DUCTS. Three new refineries are
being built, with two more plants
in the making. Montana crude oil
is being sold, more people are be
ing employed; and business is bet
ter than it has been for a year or
more. And IL we will Just remem-
Der that we will have to keep fight
ing along side OF our independent
refiners until we are using 100 per
cent Montana products we will have
to drill more wells to supply the
demand, which means more employ
ment for the oil field worker, more
business for the oil field business
man, more money for the schools,
for the State and County, etc.
This is a much brighter picture
than that Of year ago when we
were informed that proration was
our only salvation, and that we
would have to be content with sell
ing a part OF our production when
the buyers pleased to take IL.
Figures for the first three months
