Weak
Heart Action

There are certain nerves
that control the action
of the heart. When they
become weak, the heart
action is impaired. Short
breath, pain around heart,
choking sensation, palpi-
tation, futtering, feeble
or rapid pulse, and other
distressing symptoms fol-
low. DR.. Miles Heart Cure
is a medicine especially
adapted to the needs of
these nerves and the mus
cular structure of the
heart itself. It is a
strengthening tonic that
brings speedy relief.
Try it.
"For years suffered with what I
thought was stomach trouble, when
the doctors told me 1 had heart
trouble. 1 had tried many remedies,
when the DR.. Miles almanac came

Holbrook Happenings
From The Argus.

Last Saturday George Hen
messy and Will Scorse outftted
for fishing trip near the ranch OF
Barney Stiles. They took along
about seventeen quarts of snake
poison and barrel of that stuff
that makes Milwaukee famous,
besides a plentiful supply of
cigars. In the hurry of getting
away and the confusion OF pack
ing they overlooked the slight
fact that they had not taken any
fishing tackle along. This slight
oversight on the part of the
mighty fishermen will not mar
the pleasure of the trip or cause
any loss in the number of fish to
be taken, for when either OF the
bows leans over the banks of the
creek, puts his face close to the
water and puts on a glad smile,
he can fool the wisest carp in
Arizona in thinking that it is his
long lost brother come to visit
him, and the carp will swim to
the shore and just beg to be
caught.

On Friday last, Sheriff Woods
was called to Winslow to get a
Mexican who is accused of hav-
ing murdered his wife. 1t seems
that the Mexican had had some
trouble with his wife and that
the latter had refused to live
with him any longer On Friday
he came up behind her, and after
first drawing the knife across her
throat, he plunged it into her
body downward from the neck.
The woman died where she fell,
and the sheriff brought the man
to Holbrook where he was placed
in cold storage to await the next
term of court. Two little girls
are left to be taken care of by
acquaintan of the woman.

Mr.. Charles Brown returned
to Holbrook Sunday after a few
weeks trip to Los Angeles and
other parts of southern Califor-
MIA. Mr.. Brown says that next
to Arizona he would prefer Cali
fornia to any country he hasever
lived in.
The rain last week filled a long
felt want and made the brown
plains take a greener shade. From
all reports a large section of the
country has been greatly benefit
ted, the rain extending east,
west, north and south.
Mr.. Pete Slaughter was in
Holbrook Sunday on his way
from the ranch to Gallup where

The say the reports ofhigh water
in eastern Kansas have not been
exaggerated. The whole country
has been greatly damaged by
rains and floods. They found
the opposite conditions prevail
ing in Colorado and eastern New
Mexico. There the country has
dried up and cattle are dying for
water. Mr.. Scott says that he
never saw Colorado SO much
burned up as now. The sheep
market. they claim is not very
good unless the sheep are fat.
Mrs. John COnnOrS returned tC

HAD ALMOST
A QUORUM
FOUR SENATORS AND THE CLERK
MET HERE JOHNSON HAS
NO OPPOSITION

Chickasha very narrowly missed
the honor Of being the place Of holding
special session Of the state senate
yesterday. There was almost a quor-
um Of senators in town and the clerk
of the senate was also here.
The senators were L. K. Taylor, Of
this city, DR.. Johnson, Of Fort Cobb,
Smith, Of Duncan and Memminger, Of
Atoka, and Clerk j. K Wells Of Ard
more. When Senator Taylor noted
the number Of his colleagues in town,
he summoned them to an informal
session. Several bills were introduced
and resolutions guaranteeing the cleo
ton of organ was unanimously adopt
ed. The section of thq primary cleo
ton law relating to political sdyertis-
ing was repealed and hence this ar
ticle
DR.. Johnson was here looking after
his political fences and the other gem
tlemen happened in on business mat
ters. The caddo senator is pretty
confident he is going to be nominated
next Tuesday for he has ne opposi-
ton. In drawing with Senator Taylor,
DR.. Johnson was unlucky, drawing the
short term, but he made such a good
record that no one cared to come out
against him. He is a quiet, hard
working senator who has plenty OF
backbons and common sense, and
there Is no doubt as to his election in
November.

started it.
There is going to be the biggest fox
hunting contest ever pulled off in the
United States and it will decide an is-
sue over which dog owners have con
tended for years: viz: which is the
best fox hunting dog, the July or the
Walker hound.
Js.Kilgore, treasurer Of Grady coun-
ty is the man who started all the up
roar and it came about through a chal-
lenge which he published a few weeks
ago in the sportsmen's Review.
In order that persons unyersed in
dog lore may appreciate the magni-
tude OF the coming contest, it should
be stated that there are two strains
Of fox hounds, the Walker and the
July and rivalry between the owners
OF the two kinds is fierce. On May

timated that the July fellows had
