Gypsy well near Collins shows oil and gas prospects
At the Gypsy well seven miles west of Collins drilling contractor Mr. Bailey reports 1380 feet drilled with about 130 feet more to go. Oil and gas showings at multiple levels raise hopes this first Chateau Territory well will produce. Carter well at Rattlesnake Butte five miles south of Chateau has fished tools from a ~1300 foot hole after a broken cable with no unusual showings, though a gas flow appeared at 300 feet, similar to Edwards Jones gasser near Bynum.

Judge Bourquin Rules Prescription Liquor Limit Unconstitutional
In Helena a federal judge ruled Congress cannot limit doctors prescriptions for alcohol. Judge George M. Bourquin said physicians control medical treatment and the limit on prescriptions or amounts violates physician and patient rights. The case involved Dr. J. B. Freund of Butte charged with issuing over 100 whiskey prescriptions in 90 days. The decision drops the prosecution and expands individual rights beyond a New York ruling.
