They Bite Occasionally.

There Is an old saying that a sucker
is born every minute. We don't know
whether it is true or not but We do
know that there is at least one In the
old Buckeye state. Last week Register
of Deeds w. l.. Bragg received q lease
to be recorded. It was q lease on q
very rough quarter of land in the Mills
pasture in Elwood township. 1t runs
for twelve years. Bert Manahan of
Ohio City is the lessee and one Nc.
Dorman who resides in Kentucky is
the leasor. The terms of the lease are
that Manahan shall sink an oil well
and pay Mr.. McDorman. the owner Of
the land, dollar in cash and one sixth
OF the proceeds. He shall also pay 81
per acre for every year he neglects to
put down a productive we'll. Ac-
companying the lease tor record was a
letter from Mr.. Manahan to Mr.. Bragg.
He wanted to know all about the oil
helds of Barber county-how near his
leased quarter was to the nearest Oil
we'll and everything about the industry
here. Mr.. Bragg answered him say
ing that there we're no wells just yet
but company had just been organized
III Medicine Lodge for the purpose of
prospecting.
Evidently the Ohio gentleman had
been led to believe that this is a great
oil and gas producing center and he
wanted to get rich quick. The land
which he leased is worth about So per
acre. BY the time he blows in $1,000
or more IN prospecting for oil aud gas.
or If he takes the other horn of the
dilemma and pays 81 per acre per year
for the use of the land for twelve years,
he will find it an expensive venture.
The gentleman says he will be here
soon to take personal charge of his
business. We hope he will strike it
rich.

TOek him For a Republican.

The Roosevelt and Hoch Club of
Pratt last week sent Lundy Hawkins.
who DOW resides at Coats, the following
ringing appeal t. help them out in
their effort to put the machine" out
of business, and while Lundy wishes
them well he has to decline to accept

time is now-the present writing.
