MYSTERY OF MICHIGAN
NUNS DISAPPEARANCE
II YEARS AGO NOT SOLVED

Traverse City, Mich, Feb. a.
Leelanau county authorities, inves-
tigating the disappearance from the
Isadore convent near here, eleven
years ago, of Sister Mary Johns,
say they are compelled to admit the
mystery never may be solved.
Believing the nun came to a vio-
lent death and that the human re-
mains removed from shallow
grave beneath the Isadore church
by the church sexton to a cemetery
year ago we're hers, the officers
still declare identification is by no
means certain and that positive evil
dence of crime has not been devel-
oped.
Sheriff Kinnucan today had not
returned from Milwaukee, where he
has been investigating persons SAID
to have formerly resided at .Isad6Te
in the hope OF rgpaing' to earth
some Of the vague rumors in the
case. 1t is expected, however, that
the,sheriff' will visit other cities and

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER
SUSPECT It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
tions. The mild and healing inhu-
ence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the high
est for its remarkable record OF
success.
An examining physician for one
Of the prominent life insurance COM
panies, in an interview on tbs sub
ject, made the astonishing statement
that one reason why so many appli-
cants for insurance are rejected is
because kidney trouble is so com
mon to the American people, and
the large majority OF those whose
applications are declined do not
even suspect that they have the
disease. 1t is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles OF two sizes, me-
dium and large.
However if you wish first to test
this great preparation, send ten cents
to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham.on,
N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention the

STRAEHLEY TELLS
ABOUT ROTAR|AN' S
BOY SCOUT WORK

The feature of the meeting of the
Rotary Club at luncheon yesterday
noon was the excellent talk by A.
{. Straehley, scout master, on Boy
Scout Work. The speaker went into
considerable detail in explaining the
purposes and effects of the work
upon the boys and urged that the
movement be given full support.
James Barron, secretary of the local
Boy Scout Council, also told of the
work and its many worthy features.
Among the guests were Walter
Ferguson, former publisher of the
Cherokee Republican, who may
come to Ardmore to engage in bus
mess; S. F. Marker, representative
Of the General Electric Company,
Chicago; Lieut.. Menard Woods,
who was recently mustered out OF

EGGS COMING TO
ARDMORE MARKET

Fresh country eggs are retailing
today at 40 cents per dozen. Some
retailers are selling at 2 dozen for
Is cents. Owing to the warm
weather OF yesterday and today
many farmers are coming to the

There is scarcely any poultry on
the market. Hens are bringing l8

FIRE DESTROYS
FREIGHT DEPOT At
WICHITA FALLS
(Staff Correspondence.)

Wichita Falls, Texas, Feb. Is
Last night started in with a big FIRE,
the Denver freight depot, which was
a complete loss, estimated at more
than 100000, as the warehouse was
completely filled with freight. Ca
singhead gasoline, paints, oils and
varnishes all contributed to make L
blaze that for a time looked as
though it might consume the ma
jor part of the city. Prompt work
of the fire department kept the fire
from spreading, however, and the
loss was confined to the Fort Worth
& Denver freight warehouse.
The fire was followed by rain
storm which later turned to snow
and sleet, and the oil field roads
today have been practically impass-
able for heavy traffic.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1919-02-28

that next developments, if there are
any, must come from outside the
state.
According to local authorities, the
bones taken from beneath the
church show no signs of violence.
The bits Of clothing recovered have
not been positively identified, but
the officers place some Importance
on a small bit of hand mirror, ini-
tailed on the back and which was
concealed in the nuns habit found
in the grave. Relatives of the miss
ing nun will be asked, it is said, to
identity the glass is possible.
Another search of the earth be-
meath the church is to be made in
the hope of finding further and more
definite clues, and investigation OF
the circular chain of rumors traced
through several cities will continue
at least until the time set for the
hearing March II, of Mrs. Stanis-
lava Lypchinski, who is held in
connection with the case.

CURRENT NEWS OF
NORTH TEXAS FIELDS

Dallas, Tex. Feb. 26-The Hum
bic Oil & Refining Co.'S we'll in
western Comanche county, near
Deep Springs is reported today to
be making some water, which
seems rather an impossible con-
dition when it is certainly known
that the well is gassing strongly,
as well as making considerable oil.
The general impression seems to
be that little mystery is being
thrown about the well.
Many Rumors of Wildcat Wells
Reports of a we'll in Palo Pinto
county apparently narrows down to
the Roxana Petroleum Co.'S tests
on the Seaman Farm which is drill
ing at 1880 feet with nothing show
ing to that depth. Reports OF a
big well near Weatherford appear
to have no more foundatio than
the Burt & Griffith test which may
have little water but no oil.
There is no foundation for the re-
port that Cosden and Company has
an oil we'll in one OF their Jack
county tests. In Young county the
Empire Gas & Fuel Co. has shot
its No. | Lyles, with no results :
another shot will probably he tried.
In Callahan county The Harvey
well near Putnam is probably full
of oil, but it took the hole about
two months to fill up. In Jack
county DeFreest ct al, have got a

show OF oil at 1870 feet on the
A. J. Myers farm, but it does not
at this time appear important.
Disappointments as Well as
Gushers at Ranger
While gushers are booming the
western edge of the Ranger pool,
Gholson, Moorman and Dorsey
are abandoning their No. ]. L.
Harrison at depth of 1920 feet !;
the hole is filled with salt water.
This is one of the most remarkable
failures yet recorded in the Ranger
district, for it is practically sur
rounded by big we'll territory and
offsets an unusually good we'll.
The Humble Oil & Refining Com
pany's test on the Patton, R. o.
Sparks survey, is finally completed
as a 40-barrel we'll after two or
three shots. The total depth is
about 5000 feet.
McManus ct al in their test on
Mcdowell town lots in the town of
Ranger, has finally been completed
as 20-barrel we'll after being shot
twice.

The Plains Oil & Gas Company
initial we'll on the Herington land,
1000 feet north of the Duke
Knowles pool, is producing at the
rate of about 400 barrels, depth
200 feet; reports that the we'll IS
making 5000 or 5000 barrels are
incorrect.

Standard Buying Fuel Oil


At recent meeting OF the West
ern Refining Association at Kan
sas City an offer was made by the
Carter Oil Company to purchase
100000 barrels of crude 10 be de-
livered at Cartoco, Okla, at $l.2O;
a similar offer was made by the
Standard Company of Indiana for
the same amount and at the same
price to be delivered at Norfolk
and Drumright The Empire Gas
& Fuel Company has also agreed
to take 250,000 barrels at the same
price. The refineries have agreed
to pool all freight and pipe line
charges on this quantity OF oil
from the different members Of the
association who furnish it, so that
refineries at a distance will receive
the same price as those close at
hand to the point of delivery.
The Ardmore refineries have
been asked TO furnish 10000 bar
rels OF the above amount, which it
is understood has already been
pledged. This price will net local
refineries go cents a barrel, f. o. b.
Ardmore. In the opinion of one of
the local refiners, this is the most
generous offer that has ever been
made by the big interests, as the
purchasers could secure this
amount of fuel oil in the open
market at less price by buying in
dividually from the different re-
fineries. 1t would seem that the
Standard interests, realizing that
the price to which fuel oil has been
dropped, is ruinous to the refiner-
les, have decided to step in and by
buying this large quantity stop the
continuous slump in the market.
This action should result in a wave
Of buying by all the big consumers
of fuel oil, who will, like sheep,
follow the big leaders, and who
have been waiting until the bottom
has been reached before making
heavy purchases.
The foregoing is particularly
good news to the producers
and refiners in this district on ac-
count of the large amount OF fuel
oil being produced here.
