Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. IL. - The
back and front yards and gardens
of Sheraton, a Pittsburgh suburb,
are sprouting peculiar crops.
There is a general tenseness in tine
air. Visions of sudden wealth are
at hand. People who once talked
of dollars and cents now talk OF
thousands and even of millions.
And all because of the village
blacksmith, C. E. knight.
The other day knight discovered
something peculiar in the soil OF
his backyard. He sent for an ex-
pert. The latter declared there
were traces of oil. knight closed
up his shop and put away his
sledge and anvil. He got diggers
and experts and soon derricks
were being put into place over the
ground that until then had nur-
tured only the humble tomato. plant
and the bourgeois cabbage.
Options Arc Grabbed.
Before the derrickS were erected
there was a rush of certain buyers
and an oil company soon had op-
tions on much Of the property
thereabouts. Today the corpora
ton has men at work sinking four
wells while there are number OF
others being drilled in various
front and back yards in Sheraton.
Meanwhile there is real oppOsi-
ton from many people who do not
believe in the oil talk and who .de-

Former Farm, Gunner

Murderer.

Painesville, Ohio, Aug. ia
ghost" which farmers living near
Paines Hollow say has been haunt
ing them for seven years, "is at
rest" today. 1t disappeared several
days ago with the burial of the
body of Henry Lipenstick, which
was found in an abandoned we'll on
a farm.
Lipenstick, a farm hand, disap-
peared seven years ago. Since
then the farm is said to have had
poor crops. A farm house burned
down and the ghost" was blamed
for that. Owner after owner had
come and gone.
Carl Logies purchased the farm
about a year ago. Whenever he
went to his barn at night, Logies
said today. he would see a white
wrath like fglZe's ikinss=abaat
At times. 6e oetfafed, he followed
it with his gun in hand and it al
ways disappeared in the direction
Of the we'll. +
Cleans Out Well.
Determined to find out what
caused the apparition, Logies clean
out the old we'll, which had been
filled with stones. He came on the
body Of Lipenstick. Sheriff Sphinx
was called and he and his deputies
suspected murder. The next day
the sheriff ordered the body buried
and now the ghost" is gone.
Frank Lerman, who owned the
farm at the time Lipenstick dis
appeared is in Lake county Jail. He
was bound over to the grand jur,
on charges of murder.

Carefully biting OF a small
piece OF tobacco from thick

explained to those near him that
he was conserving the plug be-

An ofiicial of the company

with President Harding.
That sOT' said the inventor.
"The president is a fine fellow.
He gave me this plug of tobacco
last year. l don't allow myself

to last a long time. It's the only
plug of tobacco 1 ever had from

NEBRASKA STATE
OFFICIAL WORKS
AS STRIKE GUARD

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 12.-(By
the Associated Press. Pelham
A. BarrOws, lieutenant-governor
Of Nebraska, and for the last
week acting chief executive dur
ing the absence Of Governor Nc
Kelvie, also is working AZ a S.
a-day strike guard for the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road.
Being lieutenant-governor has
honor, but no remuneration" he
said.
He took the guard work, he
added, when he and Mrs. Bar
rows found I'VE had $3.40 in the
bank and l had $3.50 in my pock-
ct, with not another cent in the
world"
Under the constitution the
lieutenant-governor, when acting
in the absence of the governor,
should receive ''the emoluments
Of that Office" but because the
last legislature rejected an ap-
preparation bill providing for
that, there is no fund available
to meet Mr.. Barrows' claim for
$1,000 for serving as chief ex-
ecutive.

sire that they be left alone in pos
session OF their property. In the
old days this community made q
reputation for its home life and in
pre-prphfbition memory it was the
only suburb Of Pittsburgh which
boasted that saloons were not per-
mftted within its confines and that
curfew whistle was sounded at
8 each night as a sign for all citi-
xens to get into houses, shut of the
phonograph, put out the cat and 60
to bed.
Drill Night and Day.
The pounding of the drills, which
are kept going night and day is
shattering the sleepy stiffness
which was characteristic of the
''best home suburb" in all OF its ex-
istence. Neighbors of the lucky
possessors of promising back yards
are bringing suits to enjoin the en-
bryo oil Kings from erecting their
derricks and continuing their op-
erations. It is contended that
these huge derricks constitute a
menace to life and health in this
closely built section.
These are points that the court
will have to decide. Meanwhile
real estate values are increasing
by leaps and bounds. Much Of the
property was sold under a devel-
opment plan and there are many
young couples who hold lots who
are taking their profit now and not
waiting for the oil wells to come in
If they are to come.

A. GRIFFITH,
PATRIOT OF
erin, DIES
Famous DaN Head Sue
cumbs Suddenly to
Influenza.

Belfast, Ireland, Aug. 12.-(By
the Associated Press.) - Arthur
Griffith, president Of the Dali Fir
eann, died in Dublin today Of in
fiuenza, it has been learned in Bel
fast.
Mr.. Griffith was i'll only 10 days
and his illness was not considered
serious. Yesterday, however, he
suffered sudden relapse and died
early this morning.
His death occurred at 9:45
o'clock this morning in st. Vim
cents hospital, Dublin, which he
entered 10 days ago for an opera
ton for tonsilitis. He was recov-
ering from the operation and ap-
parently regaining his normal
strength during the last few days.
Mr.. Griffith attended to his Of
fetal duties in Dublin yesterday.
The death of Arthur Griffin
marks the passing of one of the
foremost figures in modern Ire
land. He was one of the most con-
spicuous leaders in the creation Of
the new Irish Free State. He was
one of the founders of the Sim
Fein movement in Ireland and from
the beginning has been among the
foremost leaders directing its ac-
tivities. He was formerly an editor
Of Dublin, and later established the
newspaper United 1rishmen, fol-
lowed by the Sim Fein and then
the Nationality.
Formed Sim Feln.
He first attracted attention by
his uncompromising attitude for
abstention by Irish members from
attendance Of the sessions Of the
British parliament at Westminster.
This idea gradually formed the
nucleus of the Sim Fein organiza-
ton, who take the place of the
Irish Nationalist movement.
Griffith was arrested in Dublin
in November, 1920, and spent seven
months in Mount Joy prison. An
attempt was made to rescue him
from Mount Joy prison, but the
armored car used for that purpose
failed to carry out its mission.
Backed Free State.
Griffith accompanied Devalera to
London in July, 1921, when the ex-
tended series of conferences was
opened. Later when the conferences
shifted to different points, Griffith
was appointed chairman of the
Sim Fein mission. He was in Lon
don through October, November
and December, carrying on the
negotiations which eliminated on
Dec. 5, with the signing of the
treaty between Great Britain and
ireland, and which has since been
approved by the British parliament
and the Dali Eireann.
