Skeleton Found.

What appeared to be a large ball
lying in the mud attracted the atten,
ton Tuesday Of last week Of Mr.. John
G. Jones, Of Linton, who was hunting
near the slough about mile south Of
the lower bridge on Cypress Bayou.
On examining the object he found it
to be human skull. He at once called
to mind that an old negro woman, the
wife Of Daniel Green, disappeared
from that community last May, while
In an unsound state Of mind. The fact
that she had never been located led
him to believe the skull to be por-
tion OF her remains, SO he at once went
to the home Of Mr.. Lawt Merritt, on
whose place the negress lived before
her disappearance, to report his find.
Accompanied by Mr.. Merritt and
other residents Of the community, he
returned to the spot where the skull
had been found. With little exca-
vation the entire collection OF bones,
ETC., were brought to light, with the
exception Of the jaw bone.
A inquest was then held, and, the
fact that the negress was perhaps
drowned while crossing the stream was
suggested, as during the month of May
the water was extremely high In this
stream. An old piece of coat hanging
on a limb overhead was identified by
several present as belonging to the un-
fortunate woman.

KEEP URIC acid
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat
Less Meat and Take Salts.

rheumatism is easier TO avoid than
to cure, states a well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink7plenty Of good water.
Rheumatism is direct result Of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood 1t is the func-
ton Of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast il out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also
a means of freeing the blood Of this
impurity. In damp and chilly cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate the uric acid which keeps
accumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge Of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a week.
This is said to eliminate uric acid by
stimulating the kidnesy to normal ac-
ton, thus Kidding the blood of these
impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, hamless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is. used with excellent results by thous-
sands of folks who are subject TO rheu'
matism.-Adv.

OFFICERS GIVE TWO
INFANT INDUSTRIES
IAN AWFUL WALLOP"

Two Carter county infant industries
received an awful wallop Friday and
as a result there will likely be short
age in the Joy water market for several
days.
Deputy Sheriff Bud Ballew captured
three copper stills and large quantity
of mash and other ingredients including
one ton of sugar in raid north Of
Healdton Friday night, and arrested
one man who was found in charge
and lodged him in the county Jail.
Deputy Ballew stated that the three
stills We're located close together in
ravine close to a creek on the jim
Dixon farm north of the oil town, and
were in full operation when he com.
manded yle man in charge to put up
his hands and surrender
The man who gave the name of Fred
Clark had a shot gun and big pistol
close at ho 81 when the officer came
up to him, but could not reach them
in time to prevent the officer from
getting the drop. 1t is alleged that he
but recently come TO Oklahoma from
Tennessee and was making the stuff
according to all the traditions Of the
old Volunteer state.
The stills were copper affairs, all
thoroughly equipped, two of so gallons
and one Of 40 gallons capacity, with the
stills were rs barrels Of mash, beside
huge tank filled with the ingredient
ready to run. Fifteen gallons of new

STRUCTURE BETWEEN
HEALDT0N AND RED
RIVER WILL BE TEST.
ED in NEAR FUTURE

Lying between the Ardmore oil dis
trict and the Louisiana fields struc-
ture has been surveyed and approved
for drilling by some Of the best geolo-
gists in the country. Wildcat" Bob
Gillian Is in possession Of the map and
has taken leases covering the structure
and has associated with him some Oil
City, Pa, oil men who have agreed to
drill test we'll So far have the acti-
vities been carried forward that a con-
tract has been awarded for the cutting
Of the wood to be used for fuel. Two
small tracts lying on the structure
have not been leased yet and for that
reason the location Is not given to the
public, but the information will be
ready To give ont in about two weeks
This structure was first surveyed by
G. W. shannon of the oklahoma Geo
logical Survey. This survey was made
in 1913 the year of the discovery Of
the Healdton field but IL was impos.
sible at that time To secure leases on
the lands and drilling operations have
been delayed until leases We're avail
able. The following year Mr.. Trout
who is a we'll known oil geologist sur
veycd the same structure and approved
II for drilling as Mr. Shannon had
done. After the acreage was put up
to the Pennsylvania oil men they sent
their geologist and he has also approx
ed it for drilling and there is now moth
ing standing in the way Of starting the
drill except a brief delay which will be
remcdied with a short time. Mr.. Gillian
has acquired the sobriquct of wild
cat Bob" by the number of drilling pro-
positions he has organized and he was
one Of the promoters Of the well in %
4s-9w which has opened up what prom
iscs to be an important oil area near
Ardmorc. Mr.. Gillian conceived the
idea several years ago Of following the
Bayou from Carter county to Red river
and drilled wells along that stream
but subsequent drilling shows that he
did not drill deep enough 10 constitute
tests and the territory that he drilled
will be drilled again. We are telling
no secret when we say that there is
every probability that some good oil
tests will be drilled between Hcaldton
and Red river along the Bayou.
