STILL UNIDENTIFIED.
Victim OF Box Car Murder Still Much
Of Mystery.

OF Mystery.
Chickasha, |. T, Aug. i9-Renewed
excitement prevails at Tuttle over the
identity OF the murdered man found
in the box car a month ago. At first
II was claimed he was J. II. Crawford,
three men were arrested charged with
the crime. Before their examination
a telegram was received from Craw.
ford at Kansas City asking that his
clothes be sent to that place. About
the same time Crawford's father and
brother arrived from Iowa and after
seeing the body they declared that It
was not their relative. A Tuttle
party was in Kansas City last week
and called at the purported address
of Crawford He was not to be found,
nor could any trace OF him be learned
At the same time bogus telegram
was received at Tuttle from this party
saying that Crawford was there all
right. The telegram was thought to
be genuine until the author returned
and denied that Ire had sent the mes
sage. II is now believed that the
man is Crawford.
II was thought this morning that
the identity of the man was estab'
lished when Mrs. w. s. Harrison
came In from Stonewall, l. T., and
asked to see the body, saying that
from the picture she had seen in the
paper she believed It to be her
brother. The lady bore strong re-
semblance to the dead man, and as
the undertaken described him her
screams became pitful and attracted
a large crowd to the morgue. After
considerable persuasion she refused

Ths CASTOR Baby.

The stork had been a recent visitor
to the home of Mrs. Smith, who al

Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
has what he claims to be a sure cure
for colds, which is thus given: Get
plenty 0 fhot water, just as hot as you
can stand it, and soak your feet. See
that you get into bed immediately
after soaking your feet and cover up
well, lest you become chilled. The
other ingredients you can have served

and cut up three lemons and pat them
into the water. Next you get a good

your hat on the bed post. Then drink

Hon. William Richardson, the we'll
known Alabama representative, at
the Riggs house.
"Many farmers of our section have
planted their fields three times. It is
all due to the abnormal weather con-

not at all unlikely that we shall see

The Passing Of Plug Stock.

It is a noticeable fact that for the
past four or five years there has been
a strong tendency among the farmers
to get rid of their "plug" stock and
replace them with fine mules and
horses, and today the country is full
of fine stock. There are still a few
plugs scattered over the country, but
they are rapidly disappearing. One
was sold on Main street Thursday for
$3.50 the purchaser reselling within a
few minutes after he bought for 15c.
