ANOTHER ARTESIAN WELL
Kornegay, Davis and Phillips to Drill
a Partnership Well.

The contract for anotherartesian
we'll has been let and will be the
jointly owned property of W II.
Kornegay, Preston Davis and W.
P. Phillips. 1t will be drilled on
one of Preston Davis lots across
the street in front Of Mr.. Korne-
gays residence. and will supply
water to the three homes. A test
made of j. O. Halls new well
shows that in that quarter of the
city, which is about the highest
point, there is sufficient pressure
to raise the fow fity-fve feet,
thus assuring the possibility OF
piping the water to any part OF the
city. Contractor Brant states that
there are other parties figuring on
having wells drilled soon, and the
probabilities are that Vinita will,
in a short time, be city of foun-
tains. The fact that our city is
being built over an inexhaustible
reservoir of living water, easily
reached by the drill enhances the
value of every piece of property in
the place.

BONES OF 4 BIG INJlN.
Maybe They Are What Is Left of the
Famous Brave MuyntOnun.

| \ century or 50 ago some Indians
| buried a I-fOOt man at the foot of
! little oak tree. Just ten days ago
! monster oak was cut down at the cor
| nrr of Shelby street and Burnett ave-
nue.. and yesterday workmen turned
up the gigantic skeleton of a i-foot
man. The skeleton was just under
the roots Of the big oak. The body
! had been buried in a sitting position.
Beside the bones lay the head of Il two
pound tomahawk.
WOrkmen have been pushing Bur-
nett street through for several weeks.
Yesterday afternoon the gan" under
Contractor Scheencher reached the
spot where the big oak stool. Their
| lines of operations went just bit
| lower than the roots of the tree. \
| workman striking in with his pick.
hauled out IL shoulder blade. The
gang gathered and all went bone hunt
ing. Within Il few minutes tn" COM
pietc skeleton Of gigantic man was
uneurthed.
An ordinary skeleton might have
been thrown away. but the remains of
Il I-foot man certainly deserved more
considera ton. The contractor sent for
coroner Mccullough. The coroner
thought the matter over. 1t was man
ifeStly impossible to hold an inquest.
; ed to testify concerning how the un-
known met his death. This man had
not died with his boots on, because
from the shape of his head and other
signs it WAS easy for the learned to
understand that this fellow had be-
longed to race that did not wear
boots. If he finished violently, it did
not show on the bones.
After due consideration the coroner
decided that the unknown man came
to his death from an unknown cause
and that what was left OF him should
be buried without being displayed at
the morguc in the hopes that some of
his friends might re'ngniZe him.
In IN old book of Western alven-
lures there is told tn" story of Masa-
tanoh. Il famous old brave of tremen-
duuS size. who was killed by two set
