tanned 20 per cent pure gasoline.
Oil has been found in a refined
state in Pennsylvania, and also
in Northern Russia and it is un-
derstood that a discovery SIM
liar to that at Memphis led to the
ultimate discovery of the prod
uct in paying quantities at Oil
Springs, Canada.
Oil Man Is Puzzled
Lee Streeter, of Memphis, who
has had considerable experience
in oil fields, is authority for the
statement that oil shale can be
found where the product seeps
through. Mr.. Streeter states,
however, that he has never heard
of oil being found in a refined
condition, and that the discovery
at Memphis is contrary to exper-
fence. He says that oil requires
heat in the process of straining
and that it will not become pure
through liberation.
However, Memphis has, for the
past few days, been the mecca, of
tourists all who are forming var
ious opinions, but the question
of whether the quantity and the
quality of the oil are of import
ance remains to be seen.

untimely death OF Grace G. Klais, wife
OF Chas. B. Klais of this city and prom
inent business man of Black Hawk Mrs

unexpected death has never occurred to
cast pail over the community. She
had been sick with influenza but two
days, calling the doctor Monday. Yes
terday she was able to sit up and ate a
hearty meal.
Mrs Klais was born in Leadville
March 18th, 1854. and had been raised
from babyhood in Black Hawk After
finishing her schooling she taught school
in Black Hawk, and married Mr.. Klais
there. Two small children are bereft of
the loving care and guidance of a duti-
full mother in this sad death, and with
the husband, two sisters and two BROTH
ers sustain an irreparable loss. Dur
ing the influenza epidemic of last fall.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. Grutzmacher, par

extends heartfelt sympathy.

The farmers were well organized with
a grievance committee and six spokes-

effect of stream pollution and its ESQ

The whole matter was summed up in
the bill under consiferation-House bill
No. 4A. This bill should never have
| come into existence, at least not until
some local solution was attempted to
eliminate the cause of the difficulty of
which the farmers complain.
After the question OF stream pollution
had been thoroughly discussed by the
ranchers, these facts were brought out:
That their lands have Increased In value
$50 per cent; that their crops continue
equally good in each succeeding year.
that small per cent of potash which
is good for soil finds its way down from
the mines. and that a certain amount
OF sand is good for clay soils

CHURCH OF THE ASSUMPTION
Why Do Catholic. Go to Confession

Why Do Catholics Go to Confession?
To those who are not members OF the
Catholic church the practice OF confess
sion seems absurd and unscriptural. A
historically prominent rebel from the
Catholic fold stoutly maintained that
ity OF sacred scripture. that II was the
invention OF thirteenth century pope.
that 1t was unknown and unheard of be-
fore that century. Did this man state
the truth? Was he mistaken? Did he ut
ter deliberate falsehood? Many persons
accept his words with as little hesita-
tion as they do the words OF Holy Writ.
But to the thoughtful man who despises
bigotry and prejudice. the question must
naturally present itself: Was IL possi-
BILE for human being to impose the
obligation OF confessirE sin to a mere
man. on the members OF church that
is found in every country OF the world,
and that numbers more adherents than
all other Christian bodies combined? The
answer must be that It is humanity i'm
possible to impose such an obligation.
But the fact remains that the members
OF this universal church do 20 to con-
fession. What is the inference? What
is the real belief of Catholics on this
question? Come to the Catholic church
on Wednesday evening. March 5th. at
1:f6 p. M. and you will hear the offic-
ial teaching of the Catholic church on
the practice of confession. DO not
adopt the unreasonable plan OF seeking
this Information from the enemies OF the
church.

man KILLED AND MURDERER

Of, Allen whose time it was to carry
water. complaining that Carton had
used too much water the day before in
washing his clothes. Monday morning
the two men were seated on a bench in
bunk car OF the Moffat road Frank
Hullenback was seated between them.
Carton leaned over and as he did so
Allen grabbed a hand axe and struck
him in the back, severing the spinal

crime and Allen must have been NOM

prostrate form of the man he had
mortally wounded and was crying like
baby when Hullenback and II. II.
Wilson, who had just gotten out of
his bunk, left the car to summon aid.
When the men returned they found the
body of Allen lying across that of Car

high powered .22 caliber rifle and
shot himself through the head. Sheriff
Bass had been notified of Aliens at

the axe the day before and it was
sharpened to razor edge. 1t was an
awful weapon to hit man with and
the extent of the cut in Cartons back
would indicate that the crazed man
