OIL MAN TAKEN TO KANSAS Sheriff Harvey Takes Oil to ^otHmbus Promoter ife?' - . day's Elgin Courier] Marengo's visions of wealth, magnificent hotels and large refineries from oil wells vanished today when C. C. Downer, "oil prophet," waived extradition and started for Columbus, Kan., in the custody of Sheriff Wm. Harvey. According to Harvey the oil promoter is wanted on a serious charge preferred by hi* fourteenyear- old step-daughter. Confronted by the Columbus sheriff, Downer immediately notified his attorney, J. M. Huff, to drop the habeas corpus proceedings started in an effort to secure -his release. He announced that he would return without extradition papers. ^ , "Altho Downer refused to make a statement, he intimated that he probably would not return to this vicinity again," declared a McHenry county official. "He had admitted launching oil propositions in numerous other ; communities." According to reports from Columbus, Downer disappeared after making . all preparations for drilling oil wells in. that community. A special dis- . patch from the Kansas city reads: "Downer has been in this vicinity for the last six months exploiting oil leaser in New Sherwin, this county.' There are no oil wells there and no prospects of any, it is said, but Downer r has built air castles galore for the farmers-and business men in that vil lage. Visions of wealth from oil wells were seen by many farmers here for some time, but those visions have vanished with Downer's disappearance. "Mrs. Downer has been operating tile cafe in the Brooks hotel here for a livelihood since her husband deserted her and the general public has been craving for news of Downer It was a complete surprise to learn 1 that he has been seeing visions of oil again." Efforts to secure Downer's release on a habeas corpus writ were started before Judge R. K. Welsh late yester day. Hearing on the petition was put over until Monday. News that Downer had succeeded in organizing a company to develop the oil field in McHenry and Boone counties was sent out from Spring field yesterday. It was incorporated under the name of the Kishwaukee Oil & Gas comparty with a capital stock of $500,000. According to re ports from Belvidere, a number of the city's merchants are -financially in terested in the company. More than 5,000 acres of land near Belvidere were leased by the com {tany Thursday night when a meeting of farmers was held at the Stone school house. Downer, who was then being held in the McHenry county at Woodstock, was represented at the gathering by MISB A. Glidden and Harry Loomis- Tbe Belvidere Republican says "Numerous questions were asked by interested people as to whether big oil interests are back of the movement in this locality, but the inquirers had to be satisfied with the statement that the leases are being taken by the Kishwaukee Oil & Gas company thru Mr. Downer and the point was borne in on landowners that unless the acreage was secured by his company and drilling done that there would not likely be any other opportunity to determine whether they have oil field? or whether they haven't. There was a ready response to the call for pledges for leasing. Miss Glidden stated that Mr. Downer wanted leases of the lands extending for three miles in each direction from the school house and that it is necessary that these leases cover adjacent farms as scattering tracts cannot be used." Since arriving in this vicinity Downer is said to have secured leases to 9,000 acres of land. No sale pf stock or financial support was asked at any of his meetings. Downer always assured his hearers that he had ample backing for the drilling, which he declared wou]£ be started at an early date. Wis Frank Hawthorn, Hebron..,. Imbert A.

E. Rockwell, Sec. Milk Producers' Assn. mit Mr. Rockwell: The above shows the names and the amount of the quarantine claims the marketing company has paid during the p^st nine months. The marketing company pays 70 per cent of the Joss during quarantine and members get the full benefit of the milk produced, by feeding hogs and calves and young stock with fresh milk or skim, and if butter is made no doubt there will be no loss to the producer. In order to get the quarantine benefit one must be the owner of at least one share^of stock in the marketing company, which costs $50. This? surely must appeal to anyone making milk as cheap insurance. No one knows who will be the next with a quarantine sign stock on your front porch. _ While the help to the one in trotlble is of great benefit, the best of it all is that the thousands that help pay this lobs will not even notice it, as the per cent is so small of the amount of milk handled by our company during this time of paying the nearly $22,000 for claims. The marketing company did ever $32,000,000 Worth of business, making only $700.00 loss to every million dollars worth of business done. Frank H.
