OF her parents near Grayson At about
1880 p. m. a few citizens Of Olive Hill
were startled by the screams Of wo-
man. and later the cries Of a man were

on his hand and forehead and a bruise
on the side of his head. He told the
first man he met that two men had
stopped them, one taking hold of the
horse and the other skulking up behind
the buggy and striking the girl with a
heavy club and then telling him with
the same implement. He said they rob
bed him OF S27 and a check. No blood
was found on the buggy. The girls
clothing was nearly covered with blood
and mud There was evidence of a
struggle in the road extending for some
distance Frasier's watch and fountain
pen were found along the course of this
struggle. A tap off of the heel of the
girls shoe was found also. II was
proved that Frasier had flashlght in
his pocke, at the time he called for a

OIL FOUND IN
Blaine SECTION
FINE Lu8RIcATINe OIL STRUCK
AT DEPTH OF $50 FEET
ON LAUREL.

A heavy lubricating oil has been
found in Lawrence county on upper
Laurel creek, few miles from Blaine.
Mr.. Albin, who has a large boun-
dairy Of leases in that territory, had the
good fortune to strike this oil in the
first test well drilled on the property
The oil was found at depth OF 340
feet several days ago and the matter
was kept as quite as possible until a
day or two ago.
The well is on the farm OF Felix
Fyffe. 1t is about four miles southwest
of the best well drilled 32 years ago
by r. f. Vinson and others, of this
place. That well was on the old Billie
Edwards farm. 1t was a fine produc-
err but was lost by sending the drill on
down through the sand into strong
water vein which could not be shut off
or controlled.
The oil is the highest grade of lubri-
cant, of a dark green color. The old
abandoned wells have been flowing in
small quantities during all these years
and the owners of the land sell 1t for
lubricating purposes at 30c per gallon.
Gas is also produced by some of the
wells and is utilized to some extent for
heating and lighting.
The excitement usually following
these fields is beginning to show itself
and will no doubt reach fever heat
soon.
1t is saiG the Is gallons per hour is
being bailet out of the well with a
sand pump. This is thought to indi-
cate very profitable strike. The depth
which the drill w,ss sent into the pro-
ducing sand is said 20 be four feet. The
experience of the former operators in
this field causes cautIeR on this point.

Aao-visited BY Many Tourists

Tainafu, Shantung Province, China,
June 23.-Mount Taishan, the famous
sacred mountain of China where EN-
peror Shun offered sacrifices to heaven
% centuries before the Christian Era,
is to be reforested through an effort
in augurated by the Chinese depart
ment of agriculture and heartily sup
ported by Christian missionaries and
Chinese educators.
This sacred mountain, which rises
5000 feet above the sea level, and has
long been sought by tourists because
of the wonderful contour of the peak
and its historic temples, was denuded
centuries ago of trees and its sides
have been washed and cut by the
freshrets no longer checked by trees
an dgrass.
Many trees were planted on the
mountain at the time of feast of the
tom bthis year, which was celebrated
as arbor day throughout China. A
government official has been stationed
here for the express purpose of look
ing after the afforestation of the
mountain and a large track Of land has
been planted with seedlings, which will
furnish trees to be replanted on the
sacred mountain.

or PRESIDENTS ACTION
In Calling Upon the National Guard in
the Mexican Crisis.

Washington, June 23-LegisIative
approval Of President Wilson'S use OF
the national guard in the Mexican
crisis was voted almost unanimously
by the house today in adopting a, res
olution declaring the existence of an
emergency and giving the president a
free hand to draft as federal soldiers
all guaFdsmen willing to take the re-
quired oath. The senate is expected
to concur tomorrow
A million dollars would be appro-
priated by the resolution to aid de-
pendent families of the guardsmen so
drafted Distribution Of tGle fund would
be left to the war department with
the restriction that no family should
receive more than $50 a month.
Only two representatives, a socialist
and democrat, voted against the
resolution. During the debate pre-
ceding its adoption several republicans
attacked the administrations Mexican
policy and insisted that President Will
son should have informed congress of
the emergency instead of expecting it
to act on its own Initiative. No one
attempted to deny, however, that an
emergency had arisen mad Republican
