sell IL TO him for 81 .000 The man look

way up in the tree tops and asked the
real estate man what caused that mud in
the trees If it did not overflow. The
agent promptly replied that there was a

creek and they rubbed the mud on the
trees. The prospector took look over
the land, then glanced up in the trees
again, and told the Waurika man that
he wouldn't take the claim, but would
give him $4,000 for couple of those
hogs.
