Gold Near Liberal

Joe Bryson, fat man, good fellow
and old-timer, who has heen riding
the ranges of the southwest these
many years, was never suspected of
harooring secret in his life, but a
recent discovery on the part of his
friends has revealed something that
even those closest to him never sus-
pected
Joe owns a ranch down on Ten-Mile
creek, southwest Of Beaver, and has
always posed as a cattle baron among
the people who knew him. But the
unprecedented air of prosperity that
has hovered over him during the last
few months has made even his friends
regard him with suspicion, and few
decided to find out its source. Joe is
very reticent by nature and one al
most has to use stomach pump or
a corkscrew to get any information
out of him regarding his personal af-
fairs, but once in while he would
tcOndescend to speak about 'pros-
pect hole" he owned out in Arizona,
and he always carried such a mysteri-
GUS air when saying any hing about
it that j. e. George, Jim Maloney,
and few other local capitalists tried
to buy an interest in tine same, The
fact that he shows up at the First
National Bank of Liberal every once
in so often with good sized bag of
gold dust served to add to the won
derment OF its source, and his friends
were beginning to think it was Sc
cret that would 60 down in silence to
the grave with him.
Everyone overshoots his mark, how
ever, sooner or later, and Joe's invi-
tatlon of few friends to his ranch
last week proved his undoing, and
has further proved that the gold
mine was ocited on the ranch in
stead OF Arizona. A few years ago
Joe bought several pairs of ducks and
placed them on the ranch, with the
freedom of that part of the Ten Mile
that traverSes the same. These
ducks swim in the creek and OCCASION
ally dive down after a bill full of
mud; this mud happens to be liberal.
ly sprinkled with gold dust, which
sticks in their crops (or craws, il you
like that belter), and when Joe runs
short of money he rounds up fifteen
or twenty ducks, kills them and re-
moves the contents of their crops Ter
kcraws), pans out the proceeds in an
old skillet, sacks il up and brings il
to the First National bank, where it
is duly credited to his account, and
thus Joe is always lousy with money
and only ha, to work enough to get up
an appetite. The only regretabe
part of the whole performance, as Joe
sees 1t, is that the god only runs
about twenty dollars to the duck, and
he has to 20 slow a. Slaughtering
time OF his herd might give out.
The reason he went there last week
was in hopes he might be able, with
the snow on The ground, to track the
ducks to the location of the gold,
but they're wise nld ducks and re-
NAMED perfectly stationary until he
got nearly to Beaver.
