Mrs. Merriwid. Its the only light

UNCOVER ALLEGED
OIL LAND SW|NDLE
VICTIMS REPORTED IN MIMI,
SOUTH DAKOTA, NEe., MON
TANA AND WASH.
STORY OF METHOD EMPLOYED
With Arrest Of Piercy in Lewis
town the Facts Of the
Case Are Dis
closed.

Lewistown.-Witht the arrest of F.
H. Piercy, who was placed in Jail at
Lewistown, an alleged oil land swindle
was disclosed, the victims of which
are many in Minnesota, South Da-
kota, Nebraska, Montana and eastern
Washington. The authorities are
looking for w. r. Fleming, who is
said to have worked with Piercy.
Piercy and Fleming, it is alleged,
sold oil land locations in Natrona
county, Wyoming, issuing to the pur-
chaser what purported to be a reg
ularly issued certificate by the clerk
and recorder of that county, attesting
the record of the oil land location
These certificates, it has developed,
are forgies, and it is stated that no
oil locations have been made by the
alleged spurious promoters.
Inquiries Pour In.
Inquiries have begun to pour In
apon the Natrona county officials by
the score.
A few weeks ago Piercy came to
this city and let it be known to a
chosen few that he was representing
the Standard Oil company and that
he was organizing groups to take up
oil lands in Wyoming. In order that
100 acres might be taken, Piercy would
get eight men to associate themselves
together, each man taking twenty
acres. The charge for his work was
$50 for each filing and the men that
ho lop cunn0cp6 tn
share liz the profits from the oil after
the company had drilled.
Making Entries.
The entries were supposed to be
filed in the county in which the land
was to be taken by one Fleming, who
came to this city with Piercy ano
was supposed to be an attorney OF
the Standard Oil company. All OF the
entries were duly returned after hav
ing been filed and had it not beer
for the remarkable differences in the
page numbers on the certificates from
the clerk and recorders Office, moth
ing would have been thought of it
Inquiries led to the knowledge tina
none of the entries had been file(
there and that the signatures to thu
certificates were forged. Piercy denies
all knowledge of this and says j
anything is wrong, it must be thu
work of Fleming.
1t is said eight groups were formes
in Lewistown, making total Of 81 ,25

ADVICE FOR THE C0RPULENT
German Physician Says to Cut Out
One Solid Meal From the Menu
for the Day.

One Doctor Galisch, a German ply
sician of Rothenfelde, has devised a
simple drugless method Of removing
fat, which, If the doctors claims for it
are justified, deserves the attention
of the laity. He declares that he can
shave down the obese man at the rate
of two pounds per week, without in
any way stralning his nervous sys-
TEN or heart. There is, it appears, a
theory that fat is accumulated princi-
pally during Sleep and DR.. Galisch.
bordering this, in connection with an
observation of his own that corpu-
lent folks usually eat very hearty
meal, came to the conclusion that an
elimination of that meal would de-
prive the fat man Of his raw material
during sleep, and thus reduce him to
normal proportions
A very little experimenting justified
this conclusion, he says, and now the
Galisch method has been added to
banttng and the other anti-fat modes
of life. DR.. Galisch suggests the fol-
lowing dietetic itinerary for daily use:
First breakfast, bread, butter and tea;
second breakfast 90 a. M, egg and
a small tart, dinner Il p. n.y., meat,
vegetables, salad, preserves; after
noon tea a p. n.y.. coffee, crackers or
bread and butter, supper (no time
set), one small tart. There appears
to be no quantitive limit for the mid
day meal, so the system really
amounts to the elimination of all bw
one "solid meal day.

Plea for More Hyoienic Gravy.

STRAY Shots the weekly paper is
sued by the inmates of the military
prison at Fort Leavenworth, offers this
mild suggestion to the cook: If the
gentleman intrusted with the task Of
making brown gravy to accompany the
T-bone steaks served at this great cul-
mary center, will take the trouble to
read few lines in any old cook book
he will discover that it is impossible
to use hot water and produce lumpless
gravy. If he has any spark of SYM
pathy in his soul he will realize that
uncooked flour is the bosom friend Of
Indigestion. A little regard for the
great regiment that feasts here should
furnish comfort in the consciousness
of duty we'll performed"
