It is slowly dawning upon the
minds Of the people Of south Texas
and southwestern Louisiana who
own sand hills and other "indica.
cations" that there IS probably
but one Beaumont, as an oil prop
osition. 1t has also been learned
upon reliable authority, that you
can prove anything-any side of
any mooted question in the do
main Of "oilology" ty biologists
Of the highest standing. In fact,
geologists have descended so low
in the scale as oil finders, that
tribe Of old.fashioned "water
witches" has sprung up with tin
tubes filled with branch water in
place Of the out.of-date forked
stick, and these gentry seem to be
the whole thing now in the oil
fields. One Of them appeared in
a coast country "oil fieldn not long
since, and after he left, his victims
compared notes. 1t was found
that he would give a man a mod
crate producer on his land for a
nights lodging; a good pumper
for s.; and for $25, would locate
him regular Lucas geyser. His
rates we're higher for syndicates
than for individuals, however.
This oil witch business looks like
an extremely inviting field for an
enterprising young or middle
aged man, and wo know several
gentlemen who surprise US by not
having caught on long ago. Re-
quires no special or any other
kind Of training or knowledge,
and but very little exertion.

Dead Man Found.

The remains of l. IL. Gardner,
the man who disappeared about a
year ago, was found few days ago
on the p,airie 80 or 40 miles
south of Coolidge. to which place
lie had attempted to walk and
perlshed. The poor fellow prob
ably became lost and died from
hunger and thirst. In his watch
was found a note telling who he
was and instructions as to the dis
position Of some personal effects.
Mr.. Gardner was about 45 years
old and unmarried. He hud for
some wears made his home with
Jode Poole's, of Coolidge. Last
summer, however, he hired to j.
A. Roach AS sheep herder, but be-
came dissatisfied and started for
Coolidge meeting his death as
above stated. In his pocket were
found two silver dollars evidently
the same money given him by
Mrs. Poole to pay his fare on the
stage that runs south from Cool
idge. The body was badly de-
composed and buried near where
found.
Strange to say this is the third
dead man found in the last two
years, on the pralrle, south and
west OF Coolidge.
