and suggested a plan which was
simple and yet ingenious in the
highest degree. He caused the un-
wieldy animal to be conducted along
a stage specially made for the pur-
pose by the waterside into a fat
bottomed boat. Then, having mark
ed on the boat the height to which
the water reached after the ele-
plant had weighed it down, the lat
ter was taken. out and stones sub
stituted in sufficient quantity to
hold the boat to the same line. The
stones were then taken to the scales
and thus, to the amazement of the
court, was ascertained the true
weight of the elephant.-[New

PAIR FROzE TO DEATH
GOING UP Pixies PEAK
Husband Wanted to Go Back,
But Wife Persisted in
the Ascent.

Colorado Springs, COL, Aug. "a.
F. Skinner and wife, of Dallas,
Texas, were frozen to death near
the summit of Pixies Peak this
morning. Their bodies, almost COW
cred with snow, were found side by
side by a boy walking down the
Peak this afternoon. 1t is under
stood both victims of the storm were
printers, employed on Dallas
(TeXas) paper.
Skinner and his wife started to
walked to the top of the Peak early
yesterday afternoon and stopped at
the Office of the Pixies Peak News,
about three miles above the Half
Way House, to register. At that
time, Mr.. Skinner, who was about
90 years old, doubted their ability
to reach the top of the mountain.
Mrs. Skinner, who was about ten
years younger than her husband. is
reported to have made the remark:
III llOill ltAdSs anu lltg lie nbl
going to say when I get back that l
could not climb Pixies Peak"
The couple were last seen about
4 o'clock by the crew of the down
ward-bound cog-road train. At that
time Mr.. Skinner repeated his
doubts to some of the passengers.
But Mrs. Skinner again insisted on
trying to reach the summit.
At o'clock last night a severe
snowstorm, which covered the en-
tire Peak to a depth of a foot on the
level, accompanied by a fifty-mile
wind, broke on the Peak. From
the positions of the bodies when
found, it is believed the couple
sought comparative shelter of
huge boulder but a short distance
from the track. Both wore very
lightweight clothing.

CALIFORNIA oil QUEEN"
A NATIVE OF KENTUCKY
Largest Individual Oil Producer
in the World-fier Ter.
rifle Struggles.

Hickman, KY, Aug. 25.-Mrs.
Mary A. Summers, known as the
coil Queen of California" was a
daughter of William McCutcheon,
formerly merchant Of this county,
now deceased, and OF Mrs. Jennie
McCutcheon, who is still living and
resides here. For number OF
years Mrs. Summers taught music
in this city. A quarter of a CEN
fury ago, she and her husband, who
was a mechanic, left for Los Ange-
les, where they followed their re-
spective vocations until the oil
boom. To-day Mrs. Summers is the
largest individual oil producer in
the world. Alone with her money
she produces a thousand barrels a
day, and in addition, she buys
enough oil to supply contracts ag-
gregating $2.5OO,OOO a year.
When oil was discovered in the
vicinity of Los Angeles, Mrs. Sum-
mers had in the bank $500, earned
by teaching music She put this
and like amount furnished by an
other into an oil well. And it went
so deep she doubted ever getting
her money out. With it went ST.
500 more, for her credit was good.
Bad luck followed more bad luck,
and the climax came when casing
and tools went crashing to the bot
tom of the we'll. Only the man
drilling. the hole was left on top.
Day after day Mrs. Summers stood
in the hot sun by that well, and
night after night, by the light of a
laring torch, she lowered over 1t.
The prospect was dreary, but Mrs.
Summers, encouraged, went on bor-
ing wells until she found herself
$4,000 in debt with only her mu-
sic teaching fees to pay the bills.
when | found myself thus involv-
ed" says Mrs. Summers, II thought
If ever got that paid and as much
more in the bank, l would be glad
to quit. But when got that much
| found that interest on it would
not pay the expenses of a family of
seven, so l had to keep on"
All told, she bored 155 wells. In
the old days she had a room. set
aside in her home for business; to-
day she has a suite of three Offices
in one of the biggest business
blocks in Los Angeles.

hangs on to a small position when
a little training of the right sort
