Casper Daily Cridune Finance : TWO NEW WELLSIN [newvoxsuas SALT CREEK DISTRICT eeetee | American Can_ Small Producers Reported on Wyoming Associated |$maics3 Leases May Be Shot for Larger Output; Other Ojl Operations ‘Two small producers are reported as the Midwest's completions tn the Balt Creek field during the past week. Because of the fact that neither well is making more than 50 barrels {t is probable both will be shot in the near future. On the northwest quarter of sec, 14-40-79 the Midwest's Wyoming-Associated well No. 2 was brought tn at 2,202 feet and made 18 barrels the first 24 hours. The other com- pletion is Wyoming-Associated well No. 20ax on the northwest quarter of sec. 86-40-79, producing on first test 50 barrels from 1,611 feet. At 2,154 feet the Midwest Miguel Creek well No. 1 in New Mexico hit water. Decision has been made to abandon this test and conse- quently casing is now being pulled.

There was determination written on the faco of Colonel Key as he !ssued his com- mand to tho legislators to disperse at once. He spoke in a harsh voice that left no doubt as to his deter- mination to carry eut the orders of his superiors, A ‘moment of suspense followed. ‘The crowd seemed taken aback at tho suddenness of the action and the change in demeanor of the armed guardsmen posted around the rotunda, There was however, no tndication of resistance and within the span of a few seconds the assembly broke up. ot more than 200 persons wit- nessed the sceno, Members of the legislature went from the capitol to thelr headquar- ters in a local hotel. They were met by about ten of Governor Walton's armed operatives in civilian clothes and informed that there could be no session of the house of representa. tives in the hotel. Several leaders of the movement left tmmediately for another hotel, “We have met the enemy and we are temporarily theirs, but the meet ing of the legisiature has just started,” W. D. McBee, leader in the spectal session call declared. A formal statement fssued by the legislators at their hotel headquar- ters shortly before 2 o'clock, do- clared that “this fight has just be- gun.” Representative McBee told The Associated Press that legal action was being prepared by attorneys for the assemblymen, He would not in- dicate in which court the petition for legal redress would be filed, or when the action would begin, We have the legal right to as- semble, both as citizens for redress or grievances, and members of house of representatives as a body to in- quire into the state of public af. fairs,” said the atatement of the leg- isiators, “The fight hes fust bégun. “We have been acting in a peace- ful and lawful manner, and will continue to do so, and the people of the state are assured that noth- Ing will be left undone to see that order is brought out of this chaotic condition, and that the dignity of the law {s vindicated, and constitu- tional government with all threo branches thereof properly function- ing, reestablished tn this state, “That is the only ies and we absolutely refuse to be diverted from it by any pretext whatever, notwith- standing we have just been, by the bayonet, dispersed from meeting at the great capitol of this state, and that we are shadowed at our private rooms and e'sewhere, at the instance of the governor, of this state, and not permitted even to hold a caucus in our private rooma without some form of intimidation.” | ORDERS TO DISPERSE | NOT AMPLIFIED STATB HOUSE, OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Sept. 26—By the As sociated Presa.—Col, William 58, Key, military comamnder of Okla homa county at 11:58 this morning read to members of the lower house of the state legislature the order of Governor J.

Other house members arrived in rapid succession. Representative McBee announced as he left for the capitol that the proclamation eal- ing for extraordinary session and bearing the names of 64 members of the lower house would be filed with the secretary of state. ‘The governor's office, which was open early in the morning, hed been closed before the arrival of the house members.
