Eldopado OF Skunks

Muskogee, Ok, Aug. 12.-After
beating of with a club aiviclous skunk
which had attacked him and following
1T for a mile, Ed Sloan make q dis
covery that netted him nearly sl00 for
his days work.
Sloan lives at iBristow and runs q
restaurant. He makes speciality OF
fish dinners and catches most OF the
fish himself. IT was while following
bis favorite pastime that the fight
with 1.-The skunk occurred. He was
sitting on the bank OF Deep Ford, in
the southern part OF Creek County.
when skunk, which was an unually
large Que, rushed up and attacked him
The bite of a skunktis considered poi
sonous, and Sloan. Seizing club,
fought desperately until the animal
was, with the assistance Of Sloans bird
dog, beaten of and was on the run.
While ne was trailing 1t up he came
across trapper, who told him where
there was den of skunks, which was
most likely the home Of the big one
which had attacked him. This was
near the Red Davis allotment. They
located the cave where the skunks
were supposed TO stay and then Sloan
went back to Bristow and planned his
coup.
A few days later he organized q
band of four men. They got the trap
per and proceeded to the den. A half
barrel Of crude oil was taken along and
a large quantity of old rags. The rags
were saturated with the oil and set on
fire, and thrown as far back into the
cave as the men dared to go. The
mouth Of the cave was then filed with
brush to keep the smoke In as much as
possible. The men sat down to wait.
Presently they heard a commotion
start way back In the cave. 1t grew
louder and louder, and finally skunk
came creeping out through the brush,
dazed and almost blinded by the
smoke. Each man had armed himself
with stout club and short work was
made Of the firstskunk. Then Others
commenced to come out, and soon
they were so thick that the whole
party was kept on the Jump to pre-
vent their escaping. For nearly an
hour the men clubbed away. The
prizes were loaded into wagon and
counted, there being sevsnty-fve Of
them. Two negroes in Bristow were
hired TO skin them and large barn at
Bristow is now fairly covered with
the skins hung up to dry Sloa
think the skins are easily worth 500.

lad FRONTAL HEADACHES
EYES BOTHERED ME
DROPPING In MY THROAT

MFRS. ELIZABETH H. MARTIN,
1Vl 1872 Bowen Avenue, Chicago, ILL.,,
Chaplain Garfield Circle, writes:
"Peruna has been a blessing to our
family for a good many years, as we
have all used 1t off and on for colds and
catarrh, and have given 1t to all Of my
children with the best of results.
"I found that a cold left me with
catarrh of the head in very bad form.
My head was stopped up, had frontal
headaches, my eyes bothered me, and
there was nasty dropping in my
throat which nauseated me and made
it impossible many times for me to eat
my breakfast.
GAS soon as began to use Peruna
found 1t relieved me, my head soon
cleared up and in remarkably short
time l was rid of catarrh.
81 can, therefore, give my personal
experience with your valuable medi'
cine, and am pleased to do So"

Buried Alive

Cedar Point, o., Aug. 1l.-Florence
Gibson, 15, is to-day showing no i'll ef-
fects Of the nine days she lay in a
grave, supposedly in a hypnotic trance,
into which she was cast by Bundha
Kupparow, Hindu mystic.
There were cries Of "fake" as the
gi.l was raised from the grave before
a huge crowd yesterday. Reporters
who jumped into the grave after the
girl was taken out found that the cof-
fin did not rest upon the ground and
apparently had false bottom. In a
tent In which the Hindu lived, the
reporters cried that they had found
a deep hole under the Iboafd flooring.
"Tunnel," yelled the crowd, as 1t
rushed into the tent, Ipulling it half
down. The special police beat back
the crowd from the tent.
The girl was carried from the
grave into the opera house on a
stretcher. The body was cold land
stiff, The clothing was clammy. The
Hindu worked over the girl, blew
breath into her mouth aud, with low
sobbing and cries Of pain, Miss Glib
son ''came to life." Within five min
utes she walked across the stage.
~ will never be buried alive again,
saidsthe girl to-day. 1t is the most
terrible thing one can imagine
l felt all the time as II l were drop
ping, dropping, from high building
down through the earth. At last l
struck bottom and thought was be-
| ing dashed to pieces. That was wher
| awaked on the stage"
The Hindu and his assistants filled
up the grave as soon as the girl wa'
taken out, throwing dirt in on the In
vestigators. Watchers express the
opinion that the girl was really In
hypnotic state for nine days, but arr
unable to discover whether she wal
taken from the grave by tunnel al
night and given food and water
When she revived, she expressed NJ
desire for food, but cried for lwater
