Of a Congressional investigation of the

l recently took a trip down through

Knapp, business man of Omaha, at the
Shoreham. The statement may seem
a strong one, but l can vouch for it as
an eyewitness that the oil gushers in
that town are confined to tract of only
about 200 acres. Scores of holes have
been bored outside of that tract, but not
smell of OIL has been found, although
the holes have been bored down as deep
as 1000 feet. Oil at Beaumont has been
struck at a depth Of from $50 to slightly
more than LOCO feet.
The bottom has accordingly dropped
out of the Beaumont BOOM, added Mr.
Knapp. Formerly, so they told me,
every little corner in the hotel was oc-
cupied as a booth for brokers who had
stock In great number of companies
for sale. These brokers also lined the
streets. Now their booths are deserted
and the excitement in the town has
largely subsidized. I heard so much about
the stock and the opportunities to make
money down there that I wanted to see
for myself and, having a little leisure,
determined to visit Beaumont A vast
deal Of money has been lost in the vari-
Gus companies organized to secure oil
in Beaumont.

A. S. Christie OF Christie & Legs, re-
turned this afternoon from pleasant
trip to Scotland, where he went to visit
his mother at Portsoy. who is 70 years
of age. Mr. Christie left here on June 4,
and sailed from New York on the 11rh.
While abroad he visited Glasgow. Ed:n-

get possession Of an outfit, which has up
to this time answered the purpose of
horse, harness and wagon. No one would
recognize the outfit as such but Alex
managed to cart away his captured dogs
with the rig and that satisfied him. He
had about all he could attend to while
capturing unlicensed dogs in sQuaring
matters with their owners when they
became angered and got on the war
path. No time was given to either keep
ing the rlckety OLD wagon in repairs or
stufting hay into the poor old horse so
that his plainly appearing ribs might
have a resting place within. Alex APP
parently forgot that he had secured the
wagon from another and that he not
fulfilled all of the requirements stipu-
lated when the transaction was made.
In fact, O'BannOn. according to the
court records neglected to pay all that
was due for the trap.
Contractor Whitney brought suit
against the negro and secured judgment
Saturday in Justice of the Peace Nell
sons court for $3.50 as a balance due on
the purchase price of the four wheeled
vehicle.
: The judgment does not worry the dog
catcher to any great extent but some
thing else does. Alex gets his money for
the dogs he captured from the city clerk.
The money is paid to the negro only so
often and should the contractor do as
has been limited he intends to, this
money will be garnisheed until the re-
quired $3.50 is paid. Alex appeared at the
clerks office today with his henchman
and wanted to know the best way to
prevent the seizure OF his cash to come.

WILL LOOK FOR DEMPSEY
BY THE SAD SEA WAVES

Lowland river, but at that time Ballot
and Lorette had not heard of the escape.
They say that Dempsey begged food at
their camp and that they are positive of
his identity.
The city directory gives Dempsey's oc-
cupation as a ''ropeman.' the word
prospective" being omitted. Prior to
the day he shot and killed his wife he
was employed as rope maker at one
of the hill mines. but he is sailor, at
which business he learned to make ropes
Since this fact became known the belief
prevails that Dempsey is headed for
some sea coast town and Will ship to
some foreign country as a sailor. if he
has not already done SO. The direction
taken by him after leaving the Low
lands is not known, but it is strongly
suspected that he went directly east or
west west with the intention of getting
out of the United States as soon as pos
Sible.
