HUGH O'BRIEN'S LUCK
Secured a Good Claim in the
New Country.
TELLS ABOUT LAYTON
Says Woods Has Many Con-
tests on His Hands.

Hugh O'Brien returned yesterday from
Lawton. where he fled on his claim. four
miles from the city. right up against an
Indian neighbor. and as good a piece Of
land as there is in the new country. He
described his experience as follows:
At daylight on the morning OF Aug.
!. I arrived at NARROW. wide-a-wake
little town where with number Of fell
low passengers got on the proper side
of a good breakfast and after having a
breakfast and after having hurry up
lunch prepared we started for the new
lands, entering just north Of the great
forest reserve. Lawton is twenty
eight miles west OF NARROW. The coun-
try is like one immense pasture. The
tran passes over high lands and beauti-
ful rolling prairie. Herds OF cattle dot
the slopes and Craze along its fertile
valley, rich and beautiful as ever decor
ated the face Of mother earth. Groves
Of oak, pecan, elm and walnut are scat
tered over the plains. once the camping
ground of the Indian. but now deserted
by them forever. The long drive is
shortened by the wiIdness ard beauty Of
what Is TO be the garden SPOT Of the
southwest. About one O'Clock We stop
ped at Cache creek, a small stream.
The bed is Of sand and gravel. Both
banks are lined with timber. Here we
watered our horses. ate our dinner in
the shade and drank from the clear
springs for which this creek is famous.
The flow is enormous even at this season.
IN the middle Of the afternoon we ar
rived at Lawton. The miles Of tents sur
rounding the townsite reminds one strik-
ing of q great street fair few miles
northwest of this city in all its grandeur
is the Wichita Mountains Around this,
among its lakes. riverlets and shady
forests are entwined beautiful legends
OF the Indians
Gold and other valuable metals have
been found but prospectors are debarred
at the present time.
''Lawtoh itself presents a scene of
great activity. TWO daily papers have
already started; also two banks. while
drug, grocery, hardware and dry goods
stores are quite numerous. Col n J.
O'Brien with whom I had the pleasure
to dine is auctioneering of the lots.
Friday morning some of the lots had
reached the 1900 mark Bidding was
close and done mostly by moneyed men
who VIII start in business Immediately
and try to monopolze their own branch
of business.
mo gamblers have shown themselves
since the great rush of Monday even
ing, when thousands OF them marched
down the street and estroyed every
gambling concern in sight til they
reached the southeast corner Of the city.
Here the gamblers made a stand with
revolvers and Winchesters and had nct
the United States marshals interferred
at that moment there would no doubt
have been a riot
Saloons that were expected TO open
on the 9Th Of August failed TO do so a
few opened Thursday evening. but the
are expecting every moment
10 be placed under arrest"

Tho Heart as a Bequest.

1t was a common thing in olden days
for a testator to dispose of his heart
by will. Edward I, left directions for
the burial of his heart in the Holy
Land; the famous Earl of Millent and
Leicester, who flourished in the early
part Of the twelfth century, bequeathed
his heart to a hospital at Brockley,
where he desired 1t to be preserved in
salt; a sister-in-law of Henry Ill,
who died at Berkhampstead in 1889,
ordered her heart to be sent in a silver
cup to the Abbot Of Tewkesbury, who
was enjoined to bury 1t before the high
altar. In modern times such testa-
mentary directions have been extreme
ly rare. The late Marquis Of Butte,
whose relatives have gone to Palestine
to fulfill his desire for the interment
of his heart on the Mount of Olives, is
the only testator in recent years who
has expressed such a wish.--London

THE CHANGE OF LIFE

Is the most important per I'd in a wo-
mans existence. Owing to modern
methods of living, not one woman in
a thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing
a train of very annoying and some
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to the heart until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, sometimes with
chills as If the heart were going to
stop for good, are symptoms of dan
gerous, nervous trouble. Those hot
flashes are just so many calls from
nature for help. The nerves are cry
