GAS FOUND
YEARS AGO

According to old timers in this vicin-
ity, the first evidence Of natural gas
in this section was found f2 years ago
on the Jim Matthews place, about three
miles southeast Of Chickasha.
Workmen were digelng a well in the
summer OF 1901 when at the depth Of
s2 feet, on returning to work one
morning they found gas escaping from
the hole SO strongly that it was im-
possible 10 continue the work.
Not realizing the value Of the find,
MI Matthews had the hole closed up
and it was abandoned. It is said that
traces Of gas were later found in ex-
tavating for the water power dam
which is near the Matthews farm.

to keep my mind free Of prejudice, but
! must say in frankness that my atti-
tude unayoidably was that Of skep-
tic Now, after three weeks Of almost
daily contact with Dr. Friedman and
attendance at every clinic conusicted
by him in New York during that period
and after many interviews with sub

following report to the Seattle people
interested in my investigation:

the only infallible test, will show that
the German sayant has produced real
cure for the worlds greatest scourge

ings DR.. friedman may have, he is
not faker. He personally is certain
he has cure. Ultimately cure for
tuberculosis is certain. DR., friedman
says he has It. am inclined after
seeing his results to accept bis state
ment until It Is disprovsd.
Mr. first interview with DR.. Fried
mann was not reassuring. He was sul.

tioning and resentful Of any attempt
to draw him into a scientific discus

His awkward use Of the none too care
