Grandmother.

Redding, Cal.-Shasta county's
latest, if not greatest wonder, was the
birth a few days ago of bankruptcies
at G.. o. Meningitis home, three miles
south of Bellavista, where each of the
four, equally divided as to sex, is
making a remarkably good start. 1t is
the belief of the physician that all viii
live and thrive.
The mother is aged thirty-seven
and is already a grandmother of three.
She was married at the age of thfr-
teen in Texas to her present husband,
who is sixty years old. Both are
of healthy, hardy stock, though plural
births can only be traced on the faith
ers side. where twins have not been
an exception
There were 60 visitors at the Nc
Knight farm home next day, in spite
of the remote location. Among them
were a party of newspaper men.
st have no statement to make" said
Mcknight, except that l am a sur
prised father. We certainly did not
expect anything extraordinary"
Shasta county supervisors sent a
trained nurse to the Mcknight home
with instructions for her to call upon
the county for necessary financial aid.

PROTECTS AN INDIAN MAID
Oklahoma Judge Appoints Guardian
for Girl With a Million
Dollars.

Okmulgee, Okla.-Judge Mark L.
Bozarth has appointed E. w. Kimbley
as guardian of the person and estate
of Katie Fixico, an incompetent. She
is an Indian who owns valuable tract
of oil lands in the north end of the
Cushing field. Title to property worth
in the neighborhood of a million dol
lars will be affected by the ruling of
the court.
The Midco Oil company, operating
on the land, holds lease dated three
years ago, given through the county
court. On the day the girl became of
age she gave the lease to Harry c.
Denton on the theory that the first
lease expired with her minority. The
land was sold on the following day by
her to Walter Norton brother of her
former guardian, for $4,000.
The girl appeared in court recently,
and during her testimony it was shown
that she did not know a word of Eng
lish, that she had left school at the
age of eighteen while in the third
grade, and that she knew nothing of
the value of money.
