Sherbur1e ms.
Burglary Victim;
Wyo. Man Held

A white man giving his name
as J. Taylor, and claiming his
home in Wyoming. confessed late
Wednesday afternoon to breaking
into the J. l.. Sherburne insur-
ance and real estate office and
taking two typewriters. a small
radio and a quantity of postage
stamps, and was taken to Cut
Bank by Sheriff Jesse Harlan and
lodged in the county jail to a.
wait trial on robbery charge.
Two young Cree Indian boys
from Havre, who were arrested
with Taylor the previous day.
were exoncrated and released
after Taylor assumed full res.
possibility for the crime.
The two typcwriters were
found cashed in the old Sher-
burne Mercantile building. across
the street from the bank. but the
radio Is still missing. Some of the
stamps were also recovered.
The brcak.in was effected by
smashing the glass in the front
door of the Sherburne office. and
unlocking the door from the in.
side.
Attention of the authorities
was first drawn to the crime
when the Indian boys put on a
campaign of selling the stamps
at o discount. even operating in
front Of the post office. and max.
ing calls ut different business
places and homes in an attempt
to convert the postage stamps In.
to cash. Investigation soon reveal.
cd the fact that Taylor and his
two young Indian companions
had been drinking to excess a.
round town. apparently using the
receipts from the illegal sale Of
the stamps to buy liquor. The
three were arrested and thrown
into Jail by local police. but they
were SO drunk. no coherent story
could be obtained from them.
They were left In Jail to dry out
Tuesday night. and Wednesday
morning the sheriff Joined forces
with the local police force. and
after sessions lasting until late
afternoon. Taylor broke and con.
fcsscd to the crime. lie assumed
full responsibility for the rob.
berry and the only part the In.
dian boys played in the crime was
to sell the stamps. They we're re-.
leased after Taylor confessed.
Taylor claimed that he came
from Spokane. where he had
been working as a hard rock
miner in Washington and Idaho.

Council Orders Tribal Lands Leased for Oil


Blackfeet Tribal Council held on
Tuesday afternoon of this week
sale of leases for oil and gas dc.
velopment on approximately 90.
600 acres of tribal land was re.
commended to be pu, up for com.
petitive bidding, most of which
Is located in the area along the
mountain front that drew high
bonus prices last week, and on
other tribal and allotted lands in
the western part of the county.
The land south of East Glacier,
along the mountain front, is most,
" land that was withdrawn pre-,
viously from the sale las, week,
which drew the high bids.
This Is one result of delays
caused by discussion of the Cul.
len offer, which has been under
consideration for weeks without
any definite results.
The land covered by the appli.
cation for leasing was authorized
to be put up for competitive bid.
ding by the Union Oil Co.
The land to be included in the
sale covers several different
areas, nearly all of which is in
the western part of the county
Other areas, outside the location
of the tracts covered in last
, weeks bidding, and bringing the
high bonus prices. are mostly in
the Browning area. both east and
west, and to the north and south
Altogether. the land covered by
the Union request will total some
sixty or seventy thousand acres.
At the same time these leases
are offered for bidding and other
tracts of approximately the same
acreage that had been previously
requested to be pu, by the Con
tinental Oil Company, will be
offered for bidding.
After approval by the Tribal
Council, q formal application by
the Council has to be made
through the Blackfeet Agency to
the Indian Bureau in Washington
When approved by the Washing
ton agency, the lease sale will bt
advertised In regular form. ant
. date set for the sale.
It Is expected that the sale viii
be held sometime around the
middle of August, and IL the
Union Oil company is again the
high bidder on the lands along
the mountain front ii will clear
the decks for drilling operations
during the latter part of the su. :,
mer and the carly fall months
With rapid drilling. the results
from rotary drilling. il is entirely
possible that a; least one Of tho
deep tests can be completed this
year II no further obstacles .rC
thrown in the way of negotiations
between the Oil companies and
the Indian department.
This latest action will modify
and possibly nullify the Cullen
proposal. which has been pending
for the past five months.
A referendum ballot on the
Cullen proposal will be submitted
to the tribe members at the reg
ular election of Council members
to be held June IS. Interest Is
running high in the coming cleo
ton. as 81 tribe members arc
campaigning for the Is places on
the Council.
