Wyoming to receive largest mineral royalty payment CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) State Treasurer Ed Witzenburger said the state will receive its largest mineral royalties payment ever on Aug.

13 over $20 million. Witzenburger said the $20,229,673 represents the state's 37 and one half per cent share of royalty money for the first six months of 1976. He said the sum brings to $37,772,407 the amount of mineral royalties money the state has received in the past year, an increase over last year's figure. On Tuesday the U.S. Senate is scheduled to vote on a motion to override President Ford's veto of a measure that would have increased from 37 and one-half to 50 per cent the amount of mineral royalties returned to public lands states.

Witzenburger said if the 50 per cent return figure had been in force, Wyoming would have received $50,363,209 for the past 12 months instead of the $37 million figure. He said the increase in royalties paid the state for the past six months stems from increased coal mining on federal lands, as well as an increase in the value of a barrel of crude oil. The treasurer said the jump in crude oil value more than offsets a decline in total oil production in Wyoming.

For Tuesday, Mail Delivery August Next 3, Day 1976 Rapid City Journal Case against Means may end Tuesday Presentation of South Dakota's murder case against Russell Means should be concluded sometime Tuesday, according to States Atty. Jack Klauck.

The state called 10 witnesses Monday to support its allegations that Means acted "in unison and concert" with Richard Marshall to kill Martin Montileaux, 29, Pine Ridge, in a Scenic bar March 1, 1975. Marshall was convicted of murder April 6. If the Means trial follows a schedule similar to the Marshall trial, the case could go to jury late Wednesday or early Thursday. Klauck said if the jury should decide Means only tried to help Marshall in the shooting, the jury cannot find him guilty of that because Means has not been charged with "accessory after the Authorities still searching for body at Keyhole reservoir MOORCROFT, Wyo.

The prosecution claims Means and Marshall, after coming into the bar with about a dozen others, followed Montileaux into the men's room, shot him, then left with the group. Means and Marshall were arrested that same night after Pennington County Sheriff Mel Larson rammed a car in which the suspects were riding a mile east of Rapid City. Larson had been called to Scenic by the bar operators. Several witnesses testifying Monday said Marshall and "the other man" had followed Montileaux into the rest room, after which Montileaux was found wounded. Three of the witnesses said they recognized Means at the bar but did not see Means enter or leave the rest room, nor did they hear a shot.

Hallie Merrill, the bar owner, said he saw the men go into the rest room and heard a thud and a shot. Merrill started to identify Russell Means as "the other man" but the defense attorney, John Ackerman, Houston, objected. Circuit Judge Marshall Young would not permit Merrill to say whether "the other man" was in the courtroom because Merrill earlier had been unable to pick Means out of a lineup. Dr. Donald H.

Kelley, Rapid City, who performed an autopsy after Montileaux died in a Rapid City hospital, could not identify a bullet taken from the body because it had been distorted by FBI laboratory testing. Deputy Sheriff Duane Plucker said he took a similar slug and a pistol taken from the suspects' car to the FBI in Washington. The FBI lab specialist who examined the bullet and weapon was expected to be called by the state Tuesday. During the Marshall trial, he said the bullet could have come from the weapon found in the car but might have come from another similar (Advertisement) You're Never Too Old To Hear Better Chicago, Ill.
