D., March 26. All low land in this district and part of the city of Mandan was under wa ter tonight as the Missouri river reached the 15.2-foot stage. In Bis marck the Northern Pacific railroad tracks were covered, and residents were moving to higher ground in an ticipation of further rises. Wednesday morning, according to plans made tonight, 10 thousand pounds of dynamite will be sent by trucks to an ice gorge 13 miles south of here, to be used in attempts to break the Jam. The trucks will be able to approach within a mile of the gorge. At daybreak. Captain John Regins plans to survey the ice from a plane to determine the most advantageous places to explode the dynamite. It was reported that the ice which had been coming down the river in a solid floe since late this afternoon was piling up in a new channel of the river had cut alongside the great gorge already formed. It was be lieved that another gorge will be formed in the new channel and pre diction was made by weather bureau ocicers that the water would be im pounded at this point, resulting in inundation of the lowlands of this vicinity. "l Two army planes are here but they have no bomb9. These are on the way here by train from the arsenal at Rock Island, 111. World-Herald.

Men's Spring Hats $3, SS, 6 fectf's Drilling for oil on 12 thousand acres of land south of Papillion, leased last fall to a Denver promo ter, will begin next week. A drilling outfit arrived at the village Monday and was taken to the Chris Uhhammor farm, five miles south, where the first well will be sunk. John W. Fuller of Delrver leased most of the area between Papillion and the Platte river in Sarpy and Cass counties last November after studying surveys made by Dr. George Condra, state geologist, and Charles T. Lunton of Denver, who made ex tensive strat tests last sunimor. Called "Most Favorable." Mr. Lupton's report, it is said by lessors, predicted that oil would be discovered at a depth of thrte thou sand feet. He said it was the most favorable structural formation he had inspected in Nebraska, according to I. J. Dunn, Omaha attorney. Lessors have signed contracts of five years' duration, with the prom ise of one-eighth royalities on all profits. The area in which the ex periments are to be made runs as far east as on a line with Thirty sixth street in Omaha and slightly west of Papillion, and from Papil lion to the Platte river. It is about five miles wide and six miles long. Fuller, in Omaha last week to com plete arrangements for drilling and to confer with a Chamber of Com merce committee, told Mr. Dunn, that hewould start work as soon as equipment arrived. Workmen were preparing Monday to hoist an SO-foot derrick on the Uhhammor farm. Other apparatus is on the way from Oklahoma oil fields. Has One Well, 4.000 Feet. Fuller also is fostering a search for oil in Franklin county, Nebras ka. This well is now four thousand feet deep. Ai Omaha committee called on Governor Weaver last week to has ten action on a proposal for a 100 thousand dollar bonus to the first person to strike oil in the state. The offer is now 15 thousand dollars. Ef forts are also being made to repeal an amendment to a state law which requires oil operators to have their poruet on sale four months after it , is discovered: an impossibility, ac cording to Mr. Dunn. This pro posal has passed the senate and is pending in the house. Young Men in Omaha Draw a Stiff Sentence William Hoagland, Jr., After One Es sapade Back in Court Cass County Boy in Mixup William W. Hoagland, jr., son of the lumberman, 510 North Forty eighth street, Omaha, was sent, need Saturday to 15 days in jail on a charge of operating a car while in toxicated and fined $10 for drunk enness, following police pursuit down South Twenty-fourth street in Omaha shortly after 2 o'clock Satur day morning. It was his second appearance in police court within a month. On March 1, after an attempt to ".shoot up" a restaurant and a solf drink parlor in South Omaha February 20, he was fined two hundred dollars by Judge Palmer and released on his promise to refrain firm driving for 150 day.1;. His car was then held in custody for a few days and keys im pounded. When arrested Saturday he was driving a roadster belonging to Klnvr Klesper of Weeping Water, Neb., who. before Judge Neble in South Side police court, attempted to take full blame for the escapade. lie fail ed, however, to convince the judge. Both Deny Drunk. Klesper said that he had driven the car from Twenty-fourth and Leavenworth streets, where they were first sighted by Officers Ken nedy ;,nd Flanagan, to about Twenty-fifth and M. where Hoagland took the wheel and circled back to Twenty-fourth, where they were stopped by Officers Shoehigh and Neilsen, who had joined in the chase. Hoagland asserted that he had in sisted on driving in violation of his promise to judge t'auner, oecau.-e tie , thought Klesper was driving too fist. ' Poth youths denied that they : were drunk, but Hoagland admitted ! that he hail "had a few drinks." He j was pale and unshaven when he ap- I peared before the bar. Once, appar- j entlv on the vrege of nausea, he I was urged by Judge Neble to sit down for a moment's rest. Not to Drive for 60 Days. After imposing sentence Judge Neble ordered that neither of the young men should drive a car again for CO days. "I am not accepting any promises. ' he declared. "This is an order, and if any of these officers find you driv ing again within that length of time you will be brought in here and sentenced for contempt of court.." Officer Shoebigb appeared in court to tell of the chase down Twenty fourth street. "75 Miles an Hour" Officer. "We were driving riirht along when they drove past us." he said, "and when v.-p saw how fast they were going we chased them. We had cur car up to GO but we couldn't keep within shooting distance. They must have been going 75 when they crossed Vinton." Close questioning could not shake the boys' testimony that Klesper was driving during the chase. "Why don't you boys tell the truth instead of trying to help each other by lying," Judge Neble de manded. "The truth will get you farther in this court than lies." Didn't Seem Fast. Klesper reiterated his story and added: "It didn't seem to me as if we were going fast." At first Klesper had been charged only with drunkeness, but on his testimony he was made co-defendant on two other counts, speeding and operating a car while drunk. He war discharged on the latter count, while Hoagland was found not guilty of speeding. When they denied the drunken ness count Judge Neble said they must have been "either drunk or in sane to drive 75 miles an hour." World-Herald. 19 Be Tfiaoate! QS3DB!
