Prick GETS SITES FOR
EGYPTIAN EXCAVATIONS.

Sites for excavation in Egypt have
been granted to Henry c. Frick, the
Pittsburgh steel manufacturer, and he
has engaged passage to that country on
a steamer leaving New York in n
ary. according to information received
in Pittsburgh.
G.. A. Reisner, Harvard professor OF
Egyptology and director of the Pales-
tinian expedition, said several days ago
that Mr.. Frick had told several Egypt
ologists within a few months that he
was considering a trip to Egypt, but
that no details of the plan had been
received at Harvard University. Pro-
fessor Reisner is In charge of the joint
excavations under the auspices of Har-
ward department of E~gyptology and
the Boston Museum of Fine Arts,
which are being made near Gizon,
Egypt. A. II. Fisher, who also is en-
gagged in the work there for the uni
versity, is spending a brief vacation in
Cambridge, and expects to return to
Egypt this month. Professor Reisner
probably will go to that country in
January, obtaining leave of absence
for the remainder of the college year.
He stated today that Harvard Uni
versity was in no way connected with
the Prick project.

GERMANS PLANNING TO
EXPLORE DEAD SEA.

Under the auspices of the German
Society for Palestine Exploration a
scientific expedition is about to leave
Trieste to explore the Dead sea. 1t is
under the leadership of DIR. Ludwig
Bruhl, chief of the ROYAL O~ceanograph-
ical Institute, in Berlin.
The task to be undertaken is to fol-
low up the researches made in 1S4S by
the American traveller, Lynch, and
those of the Duke De Luynes, in 1864.
The members of the expedition will
chiefly occupy themselves with verify
ing soundings and studying the specific
gravity and chemical composition of
the water at various depths. Their in
v~estigations will further extend to the
question of what becomes of the fish
that enter the great lake from the Joi-
dan and other rivers that empty into
the Dead sea, and attempts will be
made to discover, by modern scientific
means, whether its waters harbor any
forms of animal life peculiar to the
Dead sea. The expedition will travel
about in a large motor boat and be
away for about three months.

armed with a double barreled gun and
q razor, left his cottage. He went first
to the house of his neighbors, a man
called Mandonnet and his wife. Their
bodies were afterward found on the
threshold. Their heads were beaten
in and the razor was still In the mans
throat.
The poacher hen turned his steps
to an inn kept by a family called YER

Bourmier having emptied both barrels

The murderer reloaded his weapon
as steps echoed from the courtyard. 1t

and, struck full in the throat, the

FATTENS OFF
GAME-LAW BREAKERS.
Oklahoma Assistant Warden
Gets Half Of Fines.

There is a provision in the law of
oklahoma regulating the killing of
game that permits an assistant to the
state fish and game warden to make
arrests, and upon the conviction OF
those charged with violating the hunt
ing law, the assistant gets half of the
fine, the minimum of which is 500. A
farmer living near Yukon has maze
enough money as assistant game
den to buy corn and hay for his team
all winter and next spring n fatten
his hogs for the winter killing. his
latest haul probably will net him $loo.
IT is a violation of the law to hunt
without a license. This farmer nabbed

on a local daily newspaper and former

What more the writer intended to
say will never be known, as the mes
sage stopped after describing the
burial place Of the man Purk.
The bottle is a four-ounce contain
er and shows evidence of having been
buried or washed under the ground
many years. The paper within bore
the message OF pending death and in

Der spy. The people in spite Of Mr..
Landaht's efforts killed the spy, after
which men, women and children dip
ped their bread In his blood with the
idea that by doing so they would be-

out a small cavalry force and killed
many Of the robbers. The remain
der Of the band then submitted and
