Pixies Peak Glide
The Latest Step

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. 30
There's at least one place in the
United States where the jazz dancers
don't cavort in the new and "peppy"
steps
It isn't because there are any OBJ
jections. But the dancers can't stand
the strain.
Up on the summit of Pixies Peak,
the old fashioned values are the
most popular among the dancers.
When one exercises violently at an
altitude of 14,10S feet the thin air
soon puts an end to the activity.
Mountain sickness results.
The Pixies Peak toddle is an inven-
ton of the upper regions" It's a
slow, graceful dance not calculated to
shorten the breath unduly.
AT that, however, sitting out is
mighty popular-with the moon and
stars $4,000 feet closer.

Certain rOundish stones when

were used.

Bergen-Cline Murder
Still a Mystery
CBy United Press.)

Edgewater, n. j., Aug. 3O.-Miss
Alice Thornton. 19-year-old blonde mo-
vie actress, was today's star in the
Bergen-Cline murder mystery serial.
The girl, who was present when
John Bergen. stunt man of the films,
met death at the hands of George
Cline, backed up the theory of the
prosecution that Bergen was
shot without a chance for his life, ac-
cording to Prosecutor A. C. Hart.
Miss Thornton said she did not hear
Cline propose to Bergen that the two

after Bergen had admitted intimacy
with Mrs. Cline.
Following the accusation, Miss
Thornton, who was the first to inform
Cline of the indiscretion of his wife
at Saranac Lake six weeks before, said
that Cline forced Bergen up the stairs
at the point of a pistol after he had
attempted to flee.
Shortly after they went up stairs,
the prosecution quoted the girl as say
ing she heard scufiie and a shot af-
ter which Bergen, mortally wounded,
came running down, crawled TO the
porch and reeled to the road.
Another witness, who was present
in the Cline cottage Friday night, has
also been found. He is Joseph turtle,
fireworks expert for the Fox Film
Corporation. He explained he had
stopped to discuss business with Cline,
who was a location manager for the
FOX Corporation. turtle bore out the
statement Of Miss Thornton and re-
pudiated Cline's tale Of man to man

Original Oil Well

Tulsa, Okla, Aug. 3O.-The first oil
well drilled in the Creek Indian coun-
try, or what is Oklahoma today, on
June 25, 1901, is still producing oil.
The well was drilled in at 600 feet,
on the Sue A. Bland allotment, now
the center of Red Fork, five miles west
of Tulha. The initial production was
around four score barrels day, while
at present only a small quantity OF
the precious liquid is obtained daily,
by use of pump.
Men, experienced only in prospect
ing for zinc and lead, brought in this
first Oklahoma well. They were IL
