WOODS MAY LOSE IT.
A Contest Filed on the Homestead of the
Graspiug Individual Who Crowded
Out Miss Beals.

Fort Sill, Ok, Aug. 9.-John r.
Woods made the mistake of his life,
apparently, when he attempted to
gobble the $50 acres of land running
the entire length of the Lawton town
site John L. Calvert, of Guthrie. one
of the oldest lawyers in the territory,
filed contest papers at the land rfIice.
Associated with him is C. H. Drake
and 500 persons who are doing business
on Mccoy avenue. The petition re-
cites that Woods violated both the
spirit and the letter of the home
stead act. He entered under the
homestead law for a piece of agricul-
tural property at a time wher 1000
persons had established themselves in
business in the adjoining townsite,

To Have a Pretty Week.

The reason why pretty necks and
throats are much rarer possessions
nowadays than they were so or so
years ago, is that for many years past
it has been the fashion to wear high,
stiff collars, fastened tightly round
the throat. Tight collars cause the
neck to become yellow and the skin to
become prematurely wrinkled and
baggy. A graceful carriage of the
neck is also impossible when high,
close collar is. worn. We are at last
beginning to recognize these truths.
and this season stiffened collars will
no longer be the mode. Often the first
signs of age show themselves in the
throat. Daily massage, using a good
emolIient, is the best method of keep
ing throat wrinkles at bay; this, it
persevered with, will also prevent yell
lowness and scragginess of the neck.
Good Literature.

FUN ON WALL STREET.

A group of young chaps, looking and,

Instantly three of~the youths made
a dive for the gutter, and taking their
straw hats off tried to clap them over
something on the asphalt.
'fHave you got it?"
"No. There he goes"
Another hat would flap down on the
walk as it's owner shouted: give got
him."
''Now, look out. Get him under my

Hurrying business men stopped and
watched. Staid brokers hesitated and
were lost. Crowds blocked the side
walk about the hunters. Curiosity
routed business. Everyone wanted to
know what it was all about. Finally
the curiosity of a sweetly innocent
youth overcame his reticence.
''What have you caught?" he asked.

GAVE UP TREASURE.
Jack Winters Confessed to the
Theft of Gold Bars.
Took the Oalcers to a Spot Where He Had
Dropped S28O.OOO In the Bay and
Himself Restored 1t to the
Superintendent,

San Francisco, Aug. 11.-Jack Win
tiers, who was arrested for the Selby
smelling works robbery, has confessed
the crime and so far $13O,0 worth of
bullion has been recovered from the
bay where he had sunk it. For three
days the detectives had tried all sorts
of intimidation to make Winters con-
TESS, but their threats apparently had
mo effect upon him. Finally, he asked
to see superintendent Ropp, of the
works, who he said was the only friend
he had. In his conversation with
Ropp, Winters manner indicated that
The knew where the gold had been hid
den Ropp told him that they had
strong case against him and that he
would be sent to prison for 80 years.
he said: You will be an old man
when you get out and it will do you
no good to hide the gold. We know
at is hidden in the water near the
works and we will search every inch.
You may be sure that the gold will be
found before you get out of prison."
Winters finally weakened and told
Ropp that he had taken the gold and
would take him to the spot where it
was hidden. The criminal, in company
with superintendent Ropp and force
of detectives, left on a tug for
Crockett. There they waited all night
for low tide. Winters pointed out
the place at the end of the railroad
wharf, behind the coal bunkers at the
beginning of the Vallejo ferry slip. At
that point at low tide the mud is about
four feet deep covered by a foot of
water. When the tug first reached
Crockett Winters pointed out the
spot where he said he had thrown the
gold. superintendent Ropp marked
the spot on the wharf and the tug
steamed away to wait for low tide.
Then Winters himself got into the
mud and water up to his neck and for
an hour and a half CROPPED for the
missing gold. Up to ten o'clock $11O,-
600 worth had been recovered. This
includes the four bars of fine gold.
Winters had put some of the bars in
bags. He said that one of the bags
had broken and some small bars had
dropped out. 1t is now only ques-
tion of careful search to find the rest
of the $2SO,O0O. Winters claims that
he did the job all alone. He says that
he made IA trips from the vault to the
wharf from which he dropped the
gold. The smelter officials, however,
are positive that he received help from
some one. The detectives think that
his story that he did it alone is cor
rect.

paying quantity and grade. The
hole is put down at an angle of
45 degrees so that the formation
will be crossed rapidly.
