SGT. RIVERS OF 761ST
TANK BATTALION
WITH THE 761ST TANK BAT

WITH THE 761ST TANK BAT
TALON IN AUSTRIA, Aug. 13.-
(ANP) = When the men of the
761st Tank Battalion get together
around the fire and start recalling
incidents in their early days, the
name of the late Staff Sgt. Reuben
Rivers, of Tecumseh, Okla, always
gets into the conversation, and in
variably somebody says: THAT was
just like Rivers
1t was that way when the fellows
talked about an incident back in
France, before Rivers met his death
at Guebling, on November 9, 1914.
The platoon he led was approach
ing a town in which the Germans
were strongly ensconced, and pla-
toon commander, Robert Hammond
of Cleveland, who was killed the
same day, was using cautious tao
tics in approaching it. AS usual way
out in front was Sgt. Rivers and his
tank, for Rivers always led the
way" His tank was first into just
about all the towns up until his
death.
When 1t. Hammond took his
bearings at this hot spot, he radioed
an order to Sgt. Rivers and his crew.
He said: Don't go into that town."
Quick as a flash came the answer
back over the radio, in a respectful
voice: 'I'm sorry, sir, but I'm al
ready through that town." That was
just like Rivers.
Sgt. Rivers was killed at Guebling
when the top of his head was blown
off by the second of two armor-
piercing shells which hit the tank
in which he was riding. 1t was not

his own tank, for his tank had been
disabled when it hit a mine, but the
intrepid Rivers had climbed out, or
dered his crew to stay with the tank
for safety, and had gotten into an
other tank, assuming command, and
proceeded forward to attack.
In the new tank, the crew caught
a German bicycle column and knock
ed it out just before reaching Gueb-
ling. Sgt. Rivers boarded the tank
about five p. m. the day before, and
it was hit twice between eight and
nine the next morning. The first
shot exploded near the front of the
tank, and the second shot hit and
killed Rivers. Two others in the tank
were also killed.
Sgt. Rivers had become terror
with the so calibre machine gun of
his tank, and had slain an estimated
$50 Germans with it before he met
his own death. He was awarded
Silver Star posthumously, but a
higher award is being sought for
him.
Of all his deeds, the men say sim

ling" she said. Il hope everything is exactly
the way you want it"
Then she swung the car through the open
white gates, the gravel on the drive made a
crunching sound beneath the tires, and there
was the house.
Peter had known that Judith's surprise
was to be house, even known that it was to
be this particular one, because they had
looked at it 50 many times, wishing it were
theirs and imagining the changes they would
make in it if it were. 1t was the climax OF
everything for Judith, he knew. Nothing
could ever mean 50 much to her again. For
Judith had never lived in house which was
hers. Never, even as child, and grown into
her body was feeling of impermanence
which she hated. 1t was that which made the
thing Peter had to say seem an impossible
thing to say.
JUDITH had been brought up by father
whose business had forced him to travel
almost constantly, and they had lived for
years in hotels and apartment houses; then
more years had been spent in the transitory
atmosphere of boarding school dormitories.
Even after she and Peter had been married,
they were obliged to live in apartments m
the city, saving and planning for the house
which would one day be theirs. They had
managed to collect few pieces of furniture,
but they had never got the house. The war
had prevented that and Judith had moved in
with Peters mother in the country.
She never complained, of course; but that
only made it harder for Peter, who saw the
eager wistfulness in her face when they went
to the houses of their friends. He wanted
them to have house, too, but not the way
Judith wanted it. A house could never mean
the same thing to him, who had been brought
up in one.
Now Judith had her house, and Peter had
something he must tell her, tell her soon now,
for the time was slipping away. He looked
at it, and felt the ache come back into his
chest - it was such perfect house.
In the brilliant beam of the headlights he
could see that even the smallest things Judith
had talked about so long ago had been done
to the charming old house. The ancient clap
boards cleaned with fresh white paint; the
shutters were painted a special soft green;
the Intel above the front door was of an
obscure Georgian design which they had seen
on trip to New Orleans and which Judith
had drawn sketch of to remember; the brass
carriage lantern which glowed beside the door
was one which had come from Peters grand
fathers Victoria; even the knocker on the
door was an old brass affair which he had
bought years earlier in London and given to
Judith as sort of promise of the house she
was to have.
PETER had guessed Judith's surprise. but
that the old house should be so complete, 90

other. And now the time had
come for both to tell {.
A Sho7t Story

A Short Story
TIME car hurried away from the station
through the early spring night. Behind
the wheel Judith Coulton kept her eyes
steadily on the road, but when she spoke her
voice was made of concealed excitement.
Il have surprise for you, darling she said.
"A wonderful surprise"
The moment she said it, Peter Coulton,
sitting beside his wife, knew that everything
he had hoped for on this night of all nights
had been ruined. He had guessed the surprise
Judith had prepared for him, and it made his
chest ache with sadness to think about it.
He could not tell Judith now the thing he
must tell her before this night was done.
Anyway, not yet. At least she could have the
fun of showing him her surprise. He said:
"A surprise? That sounds swell. hope it's
something to eat that doesn't come in cam

ling" she said, lis that what you want most

as Peter knew she would; but he couldn't
spoil it now - spoil the thing which he had
always known was the most important thing
in life for her. He tried to inject the sound of
alarm into his words. 'Say, this is the wrong

out turning toward him. Even in the gloom
of the car Peter could see her smile of guilt.
A new short cut indeed. Judith wasn't much
of liar.
For several moments the car twisted up
the country road and neither of them spoke.
Then Judith reached out her hand and
touched his This is funny of us" she said.
Were not even talking. This morning l
wouldn't have believed could have you with
me and not talk your ear off," She laughed
and looked at him. I'm afraid will later,
after get used to looking at you again. You
won't mind, will you, Peter?"
PETER held his wife's hand against his mouth

He looked miserably through the windshield
at the white line down the middle of the road.

say. II have lot of things to tell you too,
judy" he said lamely. To himself he thought:
l have to tell you that your surprise, your
beautiful surprise, which you've dreamed into
being through these ugly years and which
means 50 much to you, will become fiasco.
1t won't work as you think.

was saying. you have so much more to tell

that the old house should be so complete, 80

up. But all this! The planning, the stinting,
the thought, the little economies, the work -
the endless work and care which had gone into
it were staggering.
Judith touched his sleeve. "It's ours, dar-
ling. I'm afraid we're broke, but it's really
ours. Does it look all right?"
"All right" Peter found that he could not
tell her what he thought. Instead he kissed
her, holding her against him for long time.

the field, drilled 20 the second
sand and came In with an
initial production of about 4 900
barrels.
This discovery led to the deepen
ing of large numbers of first sand
producers in this portion of the
field. Those that were on the high
part of the dome found good pro
duction in the second sand, but It
was soon determined that the water
level was higher in the second sand
than in the first, with q consequent
narrowing of the productive area.
The field reached its productive
peak in August, 1922, with an out
put of $500 barrels daily, since
which 1t has gradually declined.
According to tabulation made
in 1925 by Frank Reeves of the
U.S.G.S., the field by that time had
been rather fully defined and the
wells at that time were making a
total of about $500 barrels daily. AT
that time, 2S5 wells had been
drilled in and Immediately adjacent
to the proven area, and of these 100
were then producing oil wells.
Of these, 131 got oil in the first
sand and SO in the second sand.
Most of the producers were on the
West Dome, with % productive
wells on the Mostly dome, of which
10 obtained oil in the second sand.
Little or no gas is evident in the
field, even in the larger wells on
the tops of the domes.
The same force that propelled the
oil from the wells on the top of the
structure-an artesian water head
effectively prevented real testing of
numerous domes adjacent to Cat
Creek, on the Cat Creek anticline
Many of these tests were
abandoned at very shallow
depths when they got enormous
flows of water I'm the first Cat
Creek sand. Some of these flows
were rated at 100000 barrels
daily.
Some biologists have long con-
tended that it was Just as well that
these wells stopped where they did,
insisting that similar conditions
would be. found in deeper sands,
with sufficient water flow to have
cleaned the tops of the domes and
prevented any oil accumulation on
the highs.
These biologists contend that the
only reason production is found I'm
Cat Greek is. that there is heavy
faulting IN this field, enough to
block the free flow of the water and
provide a trap for the oil.
Judging by the furore created by
completion of the Schrock- Fifer
well this week, some attempts are
to be made very soon to test this
theory, by drilling to deeper horiz-
ons in some of these long-neglected
domes.

oil in the shallower sands, flowing
under hydrostatic head with no evil
dence of gas.
Completion of this well came as
a shock TO members of the Montana
oil fraternity, driving home the
realization that shallow drilling
may have left vast oil reservoirs aEl-
tapped, not only in Cat Creek but
in numerous adjacent structures as
well, in which early-day tests were
regarded as conclusive when they
followed precedent and drilled only
TO the basal Colorado and Kootenai
sands, productive in Cat Creek and
known locally as the first, second
and third Cat Creek sands.
1t also served to emphasize that
few attempts have ever been made,
on-structure, to test potentialities of
the field below the shallow Cat
Creek sands.
The Schrock-Fifer well is ON
the same quarter section as that
on which the field discovery
well was completed In 1920 by
the Frantz corporation.
This well was in Sc NV 21-15N-
3OE. Then 1t got water at 800 feet
in the first Cat Creek sand (loasal
Col0rado). At 998 feet, this we'll
topped the second Cat Creek sand
(KoOtenai) getting production of
about 10 barrels of oil daily. Three
more wells were drilled on the same
dome early in 1920, but all of these
got only strong water flows in both
sands.
With Mosby Dome prospects ap-
parently dark, the Frantz corpora
ton then moved to the fields West
Dome (see map), and drilled a well
in NE Sc NE 14-15N-29E. This well
got oil in the first sand.
When 1t was completed In
May, 1t was believed to be a
2OO-barrel well, but by August
its output had increased to 2,5O0
barrels of oil daily.
Late in 1920 other wells werr
completed to the first sand on the
West Dome, coming in with initials
ranging from so to $500 barrels.
A pipeline was laid to Winnett.

was off to wild oil boom. Dozens
of nearby structures were drilled by
wildcatters and none of them found

where most of them stopped.
By the end of 1921, the producing
area of Cat Creek had been rather
accurately determined. Most of the
oil in the field was then coming
from the first Cat Creek sand, along
the crest of the West Dome, in a
belt about three miles long and
from 1000 to $500 feet wide. A few
wells on the crest of Mostly dome
also got oil in the second sand.
