ANNUAL COON
HUNT SATURDAY
Members Of Keokuk Club Will Jour
ney to Coon Hollow to Partlcl-
pate in the Big
Hunt.
HUee1Ns TO PROVIDE
illinois Farmer Has Moved Farther
up Into the Country But Says
He VIII be There Just
the Same.

If Coon Hollow contains one of
those sleepy little creatures he will
surely fall a victim to the annual
Keokuk Club coon hunt which will be
enjoyed by club members next Sat
urday night
These hunts have come to be an
annual affair and are growing in the
clubs life each year. The date was
decided Saturday and this week prep
arations will be made to make the
1911 outing the biggest ever.
Communications have been had
with Frank Higgins, a farmer resid-
ing about five miles north OF Hamil-
ton. Mr.. Higgins has provided the
"eats" for the club hunt for several
years. Since the last one he has
moved up into the country on place
which he calls Coon Hollow, name
which proves very appropriate for the
use to which it will be put.
The annual hunt is an outing to
which club members look forward te
| eagerly. Last year nearly thirty par
| ticipated and this year the number il
expected to be larger. Automobiles
will carry the hunters, leaving the
club about s o'clock IN the evening.

To Quickly Gain
a New Complexion
(From Fashion Review

The surest and quickest way to
obliterate wrinkles OF every descrip-
ton, from the finest lines to the
deepest burrows, is by means of the
saxolite formula. about which we've
heard so much of late. Bathing the
face and neck in the lotion at once
tightens and tones up the skin, af-
fecting every wrinkle, as well as
creased or saggy tissue about the
cheeks, neck or chin. Any druggist
can supply pure powdered saxolite,
which is most effective. Dissolve an
ounce of this in half pint OF witch
hazel, and you have as perfect solu-
ton as any expert can make.

TOOK TOO MUCH FOR GRANTED
How Sir Andrew Clarke, by hasty
Prescription, Taught Patient
to Smoke.

The late Sir Andrew Clarke Y s
so ardent in his crusade against oy r
eating and overdrinking. and so firm
in his belief that in a large majority
of cases diet would do far more than
drugs, that he was little too much
inclined to take 1t for granted that
his patients were selfindulgent to the
ruin Of their health. Among the
many anecdotes to which his views
gave rise the following is one Of the
most amusing:
A patient came to consult him, and
was at once overwhelmed with direc
tions On the subject Of the life he
should lead and the diet to which he
should adhere. Now, remember,
only one glass Of wine at each meal, !"
the physician concluded, and just
one cigar after dinner won't hurt you.
Good morning. Be sure you keep
strictly to one cigar"
Cone cigar!" said the patient.
But"
my dear SIR broke in Sir Andrew,
somewhat testify, 81 must insist If
am TO treat you, you mu6t IolloW
my directions. l know quite well you
will find 1t hard, but it is absolutely
necessary for your health"
The patient heaved deep sigh
q II right. cir Andrew. Since you
insist, will do my best. Good morn

He went his way, but his health did
not improve. and at the end of few
weeks he returned to the physician
consulting room.
j NO better?" said the DOCTOR sur
pr.sed. But have you followed ali
Il my directions?"
Absolutely replied the visitor. "a
Tnust admit that the cigar was rather
hard work at first, and in fact II
made me feel i'll, but soon got used
to it, and now | rather like It,"

BOGUS MULE DEALER
DRAWS LONG TERM
L. Is. Gray, Alias NJ. Il. Melton, Must
Serve Fourteen Years for Theft
of Animals and Swindling.

A get-rich-quick scheme which
has been operated with varying de-
grees of success from the Red River
to the southern eXtremities of the
state during the past five years was
effectually punctured by jury in
the district court of Ellis county
Tuesday morning when verdict of
guilty was returned against l.. B.
Gray, alias NJ e. Melton, on charge
of swindling, The defendant was CIV
en- a term of seven years in the pen
itentiary. This sentence will be made
cumulative with a sentence of seven
years received at the September
term of court on conviction for
horse theft. Added to these he is I'M
der sentence of five years at Amar-
lilo for forgery and passing forged
instruments. The two charges against
Gray in this county grew out of the
same transaction. In the former trial
he was accused of the theft of pair
of mules from a farmer named
Mitchell, who lives in Navarro coun-
| ty. The mules were sofd by Gray to
! Lon Minis of Ennis for $500 and the
charge. of swindling was based on
| this feature of the deal.
! The method employed by Gray to
| fleece the unwary was unique to say
the least, and although he is known
! to have pulled off several big deals
he did not have asdollar when arrest
ed. In each trial he was represented
by counsel appointed by the court.
| II is believed that most of the money
! obtained by Gray in his operations
| was sent to a woman in Chicakasha,
| Oklahoma. 1t is believed thar
! Gray made many attempts to secure
money from banks on forged checks
or drafts The transaction at Amaril-
10 in which he presented a draft for
| $500 is probably the only one OF
| the kind he attempted. In this in
stance he received $3.50 In cash
and had the remainder placed to his
credit as a deposition. Gray had a
partner when he pulled off the Am
arillo deal bat the identity of this
man has never been established.
Gray confined his swindlings mostly
to fraudulently buying mules ana
horses and selling them again The
deal in which the Navarro county
farmer and Lon Minis of Ennis were
involved might be cited as fair ex-
ample of his method of doing bust
ness. In this instance he appeared AT
the home of Mr. Mitchell and pre-
tended that he wanted some one to

go to Ennis and do some hauling for
him. He finally made a proposition
to Mr.. Mitchell to do the work for
him. Mr.. Mitchell agreed to go ana
on the way Gray proposed to buy
his mules, which were valued at
5000 and which he agreed to pay.
He gave Mr. Mitchell s25 in cash and
told him it would be necessary to go
to Fort Worth, where he had sold
some stock to get the remainder
with which to pay for the mules. He
asked Mr. Mitchell to go with him.
promising to pay all expenses. The
trip was made and the two register
to the stock yards and get his money
and asked Mr. Mitchell to wait at
/ the hotel for him Instead of going
! to the stock yards he caught an in
terurban car for Dallas and return
| ed to Ennis over the Central. Early
| the next morning he sold the mules
! to Lon Minis and left town before
Mitchell returned. When the latter
| learned that his mules had been sold
| he reported the matter to the officers
| and search for Gray, or Melton as
I he was known to the parties interest
ed, was instituted. Descriptions were
sent all over the state and few
months later while he was trying to
pull off a similar deal at Greenville
| he was arrested by Sheriff Hemsell
! He was brought back to this coun-
ty and his indictment and conviction
! followed.
