Muskogee, Okla, Sept. 1.-THE
wild. rugged sections Of Oklahoma
which were once part of the Indian
Territory and the haunts Of outlaws
are gradually giving up many Sc

when the Winchester was law and

mountains twenty miles northwest

started digging dugout near the
place where the Harrisons were
camped. About a foot below the sur
face his spade turned up human
bone in a shoveful of dirt. Careful
digging and exploration brought
fourth a complete skeleton. Not a
bone was missing. Even a gold-cap-
ped tooth was found. The ribs over
the heart were shattered with bull
let's from a Winchester, showing
that the man had been killed. It Is
supposed that he was either cow
man or government officer who
was assassinated or killed In fight
while crossing the mountains.
The place where the skeleton was
found was within few hundred
yards Of the place where the Buck
gang. famous in the outlaw history

headquarters. 1t is supposed that
this Is another murder to be added
to the list charged to this gang be-
fore 1t was wiped out by Bud Led

The Concharta mountains take
their name from the word meaning

section that was a favorite resort
for outlaws that worked between

early days, robbing banks, stealing
horses and defying the authority of

BURNED TO DEATH.
The average number OF people
burned to death in Ohio in a year
from using coal oil TO quicken fire
Is twelve. The number badly burned
Is three times as large.
In many accounts OF persons being
burned to death from pouring coal
oil into a stove 1t is said the can ex-
ploded. This is never true. When
the explosion occurs the can Is sure
to be dropped by the person pour
ing oil from it and the oil In the
can being splashed about adds to the
fire. The opinion that the oil In the
can explodes depends upon the fact
that It is hard to believe so terrific
an explosion could have occurred
from the amount of oil poured into
the stove. and aside from this, those
who search the ruins fnd the seams
of the can opened by the heat Of the
fire melting the solder in them.
