sons, mostly girls, have been reported
missing to the police of this city and
nearby localities within the past few
days
The disappearance of little Robert
Allen Striker, four and a half years
old, of Brooklyn. was brought to the
attention of the police. His case
parallels that of Jimmie Glass, the
missing New Jersey lad.
Little Robert has been missing since
last December, having disappeared
from st. Petersburg, Fla, where he
was spending the winter with his
mother and stepfather, william c.
Richter, a broker. Many clues have
been run down as result of a nation
wide search. The latest was received
from Fort Worth, Texas, in a message
stating that one of a band of kid
napers arrested there professed to
know the child's whereabouts. A re-
ward of $500 has been offered.

Having Trouble With skidoo Well.

OILTON, Okla, Aug. 23.-The
Black Panther company's No. % or
skidOo WELL as DR.. Howard Weber
calls it, is causing much trouble in
the drilling, more than has been eX-
perenced in any former well on the
Barney Thlocco. 1t is a slow job,
Weber says, but is gradually being
sent downward. Both Nos. % and "a
are now drilling. The Black Panther
now has q Bartlesville sand wells and
one Layton sand well. The latter
has been making 500 barrels a day for
a month, showing the productiveness
of this sand, which as yet has attracted
but little attention in the Oiton field.
No well on the Thlocco has been
drilled to the Tucker sand.

COUNTRY CLUB.

The excellent weather of the past
two weeks has put the golf links in
splendid condition and golfers are
daily visiting the grounds. The whole
course is in the best of condition ex-
cepting the green's, as they have just
been cleared of the hay, with which
they were covered during the winter.
Temporary green's are in use a pres
ent, but it is expected.that within a
short time the permanent green's will
be ready for use. The sixth hole
which was heightened several hun
dred yards last year, but which was
not used altogether, is to be used al
together this year. The greater dis
tance makes it difficult to secure the
low score on that hole that has here
tofore been made.
Jimmy Melville, the professional
golfer, is already located here for the
summers work. He is expecting to
remain here during the entire golf
season.
A new system of figuring handicaps
will be put into use this season. 1t
is called the automatic system and
will save great deal of work. The
committee on handicaps has in the
past had to figure out the handicap
of all golf players, but now the play
ers will figure their own by means of
the automatic system.

SYLVESTER WINDEcKER.
One of the Famous Triplets Passed
Away at Fond du Lac on
Thursday Night.

Sylvester Windecker, aged 20, passed
away Thursday night at Byron, in
Fond du Lac county, after being i'll
with pneumonia for a short time.
Mrs Sedate Pier, Wausau, and Sid
ney Windecker of Fond du Lac, are
the other two of the triplets.
The triplets vert born at Lowyille,
n. Y, in June 1874 When they were
five years of age they came with their
parents to Wisconsin. The family
lived three years at Fond du Lac and
then moved to farm near Byron.
Sidney Windecker later moved back
to Fond du Lac and still makes that
city his home. Mrs. Pier has lived
here for the last thirty-two years.
The life history of these brothers
and sister, considered the oldest trip
let's in the country, has been marked
with very little illness. At the time
of their birth, their sister, Mrs.
Bostwick, gave birth TO twins at the
family home.
Until recently the two brothers and
sister have met and held reunions at
regular intervals. They intended to
hold their list birthday celebration
in June. The funeral was held on
Sunday and was attended by Mrs.
Sedate Pier and son Col. G. Pier, and
.. A. Amunson of this city.

CLOSE TO A CONFEDERATION.

Last Wednesday, near the neon
hour, a grass fire was discovered on
the sidehill in Forest Park addition
sweeping towards the cottages near
Jim Moore creek. f. o. Crocker
heard of it just as he reached
his home for dinner; not waiting he
jumped on to his wheel and reached
the cottage of Anson Young as the
fire reached that cottage. He had to
do some quick work to keep the fire
from catching in the building. He
had no more than stopped the fire at
the Young cottage before he discoy-
cred his own cottage and stable were
in imminent danger. His stable was
filled with straw, and the children
had played in it and scattered quite
a little on the outside. The fire was
in the stray on the outside when
Mr.. Crocker reached the barn and in
a momert he managed to clear
space between the burning straw
and the barn. He then had to give
his attention to his cottage. The FIRE
was burning the leaves and grass at
the edge of the cottage. Mr.. Young
also other help at this time
and with water and wet pieces of
they put out the fire. The
dead grass was very heavy and was
the accumulation of couple of years
and it made rousing fire and the
wonder is that no buildings were
destroyed. The fire also worked south
which was finally stopped by the city
fire department..

Y. N. c. A. NOTES.

The bird club organized by G. f,
Ogden some time ago, has been very
active. Every member has been
keeping a close tab on all birds that
have come into this vicinity during
the past two months. Groups of two
or three boys with perhaps leader
who is acquainted with birds, have
been taking short hikes very early in
the morning and when they return
it will always be found that they
have observed several more birds.
A meeting of the Y. NJ. c. A. board
was held last Wednesday evening.
The board noted that the work Of G.
+. Ogden, w. r. Boorman and Bussel
Fl. Starke during the past year had
been very successful and a motion
was unanimously carried TO request
that these men remain and take
charge of the same work they had
this year. Whether they will decide
to remain or not is question.

cuts and bruises about the head and

sengers escaping without injury of
any kind.
Mr.. Weber, driving the Cagley car,
in which there we're several ladies,
heard the crash of the automobile
turning turtle in the road in his rear,
stopped his machine and went back
to render what assistance he could.
When he reached the scene of the ac-
cident, he saw at once that Stahora
was the most seriously injured and
leaving his passengers in the roadway,
hurried with Stahora to the General
hospital, where he expired almost
Immediately after his arrival.
Mr.. Thiel was taken to St. Mary's
hospital by John Koons of the
Centaur garage, and Mr.. Gorski to his
home, but both of them have since
recovered sufficiently to be able to be
out and around.
Coroner Mielahn, after an investi-
cation of the facts, decided that an
inquest was unnecessary, and the re-
mains of Stahora were taken to
Knowlton, where funeral services
were held on Sunday.
In addition to other misstatementS
of fact, such as that the party were
joy-riding, were going at reckless
rate of speed, endangering the lives
of other travellers on the road, the
statement was published in local
paper-that Mr.. Gorski had admitted
that "He (Gorski) was intoxicated and
that Mr.. Thiel who was not under
the influence of liquor, should not
have permitted him to drive" Mr..
Gorski repudiates this statement in
it's entirety, and says that he not only
did not make such statement, that it
was wholly without foundation in
truth, and as matter of fact that up
to the time of the publication of this
statement and subsequent to the acci-
dent, he had not been interviewed by
any reporter, nor had he spoken to
one.
