an arrow of cane spiked with grease

prsarve the kernels Of corn and plant
them In hope that corn Of an ancient
culture might be again produced. but
at the time he thought, of course, their
presence among the ashes precluded
the possibility of life germs being re-
tanned. The arrow was kept, but the

Llano, Text has been several
years since open gambling was al

Is becoming an almost lost art. Few
people realize that there now exists
ON unprecedented shortage Of poker
chips, due to the war across the seas.
The knowledge Of this threatened crisis
has caused demand for the mineral
known as barite. This fact caused
a search for barite to be Instituted
here, with the result that large de-
posit Of the metal has just been dis
covered ten miles north of town. The
poker chip supply will soon be re-
plenished from this new source of raw
material.

dence in the criminal court where he
was a star witness against William
Edwards, charged with assault with
intent to murder and carrying dead

Lewis and Edwards had an argu-
ment. Edwards procured a revolver
and shot at Lewis. One bullet struck
Lewis In the arm, but he merely
rlucked 1t out and threw 1t away. The
second bullet went through Lewis
mouth while he was smiling over the
failure OF the first shot to do him in
jury, and 1t did nothing more than
loosen one of his teeth.
He spat the leaden pellet out and
was proceeding to use his fists on
Edwards when the pair were sepa-
rated.
Harry B. Wolf pleaded self-defense
for his client and Judge Stump gave
him the benefit of the doubt and dis
missed the case.
