KANSAS MAGNATE
PURCHASES LEASES
IN THE WHEELER OIL FIELD
GREAT DEVELOPMENTS ARE TO
FOLLOW.

Mr.. X. c. Stedman of the Southern
Kansas oil field has recently purchas-
ed the leases obtained by the Mutu
al Trust Co. of Ardmore, and in
tends drilling in this field within the
next 80 days. He IS hunting up
contractors now. These leases eX.
tend from Joiner City north towards
Wheeler and cover great deal
of the territory originally located by
the Santa Fe Railroad company, for
their operations, but OH account Of
not being able to obtain titles in this
field at that early date, the Santa
Fe started or miles north AZ
Wheeler This is only one of the re-
cent developments which have taken
place since the new gas well was
struck two weeks ago.
Mr.. Frank Pierce. who has been
operating in oil leases for some
time reports that a company of
Idaho capitalists have secured terri
tory, and that they intend to drill i'm
mediately. They have spent consider
able money in the MadMl field, but
intend to recoup their losses in the
Oil City field. These capitalists will
have three rigs going within a very
short time.
j. Blair Shoenfeldt, who has made
large fortune in the Mid-Continent
field, has obtained some leases in the
Oil City field within short time,
and is now ready to develop the same,
and states that the recent strike Of
oil and gas in the new gas well,
together with the fact that transporta-
ton facilities will be furnished this
field within a few months, will cause
a derrick to be placed upon almost
every 10 acres in that part of the
country before the year is over
The Schully Gas and Oil Co. are
selling their stock very rapidly and
propose putting down three or more
wells in Section 80 within a very
short time.
Some of the land owners in that
country say that they have been Of
fered 5000 to $500 per acre for their
holdinges, and refuse to seH.
J. c. Stubs of Hillsboro, Texas,
is in the city looking for alfalfa
and corn lands to establish a hog
ranch. He says that the black lands
around Hillsboro are selling freely at
800 to $3.50 per acre, and that the
farmers are selling these lands out
and going into other sections, in
tending to abandon to some extent

cotton raising and take up hog, corn
and alfalfa raising; that he chooses
this country for the reason that on
the best bottom lands and mostly
uplands alfalfa and corn are sure
crops, and that he has the choice Of
two of the best markets in the United
States in this territory. He has been
UP to look at the ranch Of w. p.
Poland, and reports that it is almost
ideally located and developed for a
hog ranch. A half dozen of his neigh
bors intend to come up also.

F0UR-T0ED HORSE is FOUND
Philadelphia Scientist Makes What Is
Believed to BE important Dis
covery In Wyoming.

Philadelphia.-Joy over the finding
of the skeleton Of a four-toed horse
believed to represent the very earliest
American stage in the evolution of the
equine race, pervaded the American
Museum of Natural history.
The discovery is the last word in
the important researches in which
the institution has led the scientific
world, and the descent of the horse
is now traced down to the hypotheti-
cal fve-toed animal, from which 1t
is believed that it sprang. If it should
be found that there is rudimentary
bone or splint in the feet of the
skeleton which has been unearthed.
the find will be Of still greater i'm.
portance.
The museum authorities received a
letter from their expedition in charge
Of Walter Granger, telling Of the
finding of the fossil steed in Watasch,
or lower Eocene formation Of the Big
Horn valley, in Wyoming, being the
first complete skeleton Of horse
which that formation has ever yield
sufficiently to show the four toes on
the forefeet, which are the marks of
the species. The animal seems to
have been about the size of the fox
terrier. He is none the less, in the
opinion of the scientists, the progeni-
tor of the breed from which came
such marvels as Sysonby, slight of
frame and swift of limb, and Of the
ponderous Percheron.
Instructions have been given to
have the precious skeleton prepared
as quickly as scientific accuracy will
permit, and it is expected that before
the close of the winter it will be on
public view. The museum began the
assembling Of it's fossi1e horses under
the direction of Prof. Henry F. o.
borne, now it's president, and has to-
day the largest collection Of the kind
on the globe.

BIG FOOT BALL GAME
WAS AN EVEN BREAK
Observation-Disclosures Contest
Results in Tie Scores.
Badgers and Gophers Played on an Icy
Field Before Record Crowd
Last Saturday.

A number of sport enthusiasts from
Lancaster and vicinity helped to make
up last Saturday. the largest crowd
that ever assembled in Madison for
a collegiate contest:
On an icy and windswept field the
contesting huskies of Wisconsin and
Minnesota universities slipped and
skated to a 6-to tie for the college
conference foot ball championship,
and the result leaves the champion
ship as unsettled as it was before the
game.
It was great game, poorly played
but relieved by spectacular run by
Capron, of the Gophers, for touch
down on the first kick off, and two
almost equally brilliant sprints by
"Keckie" Moll, of the Badgers, one
of which yielded a score and another
which came within few inches of
the goal line.
There was action from start to
finish, but not the kind laid down in
the code of inter collegiate foot ball,
aside from the thrilling performance
Of these two players. Preceding the
game much bitter feeling had been
engendered between the two elevens,
growing out of the protesting of
Pickering, Minnesota captain and
star player, by the Wisconsin board
of managers, upon evidence CHASING
him as a professional and therefore
ineligible for college game. and the
counter charges brought by Minnesota
against several of the Wisconsin play
ers but not sustained by evidence.
The Wisconsin line, though much
| lighter than that of Minnesota, proved
the surprise of the game. Time and
again Minnesota's backs hurled them
selves against the badger forwards
only to be nailed in their tracks
1t was a noisy and belligerent
crowd, and there was plenty of evil
dence that it would not take much of
an excuse to start something" but
nothing occurred other than the
straining of few lungs.

a point. It was during little spat.
His wife had been talking for ten min
utes without Ietup and the end came
only when she asserted vehemently,
There, l hope I've made myself
plain!" Made yourself plain, my
dear!" he replied. Why, bless your
heart, l didn't know you mad anything
to do with it. I thought you were born
that way"
