oMRADEs

Al Cox Of Emporia died recently ana
left oil his property to his partner
John Darlington, relates the Emporla
(Kan.) Gazette. They had been part
ners here for 50 years. Since Al Co1s
death, Darlington has been broken
hearted man. He hasn't been able to
sleep or to eat, and has just naturally
lost his cud. These two men were
ordinary, everyday, plain plug men,
They would resent any claim that they
were paragons Of virtue. Probably
they never exchanged a tender word
In their lives. Very likely neither ever
indicated what was in his heart to the
other, or to anyone else Yet here
they are parted by death, and like a
dumb animal the survivor suhers'
There are things In this world bigger
than the things we touch and see and
hear. But nothing on earth IS 80
great as the secret things that lie
IN the human heart.

Rumored That Oil
Is Found In Well
West Of Here

A report is current that oil has been
located in a we'll being drilled about
9 miles west Of Ringgold on the west
bank OF Lake Bistlneau. AS to the
quantity or whether or not the report
can be verified or not has not yet
been learned, but is published here tor
what it is worth.
The report is to the effect that the {;
slush pit is covered with oil. The we'll
is in the vicinity OF the Lakeside gas
wells. The depth was not mentioned
in the report, which however seems
to come from a reliable source.

GROWERS CAN'T ship
GREEN GRAPES

b. A. Harrigan, assistant horticul-
tural commissioner said today that
some grape growers have had to be
cautioned by inspectors against pick
ing green fruit but that no attempts
have been made to evade the law rela-
tive to shipment of inferior produce
The grapes are of excellent quality as
a general thing, but some growers in
their efforts to get early shipments to
the market, have tried to hurry things
along. Now that the cantaloupc season
is practically over, attention of inspect
ors is directed to grapes.
Most of the grape growers have I
better understanding Of American laws
than the japanese cantaoupe growers
have, and are cooperating with the
horticultural commissioner s office in
an effort to maintain the high standard
of Imperial valley grapes.

sounded the warning that an attempt
ON the life of the president was likely
today, following inflammatory articles
carried in the radical press.
President Millerand s secretary gave
the United Press the following eye wit
ness account of the attempted assassin
alton:
"President Millcrand was riding in
an open carriage about 100 meters
ahead of an automobile bearing Chief
of Police Naudins.
'Naudins automobile was just turn
ing from the crowded Champs Elyssee
into Avenue Marigny towards the res
idence of Milerand.
A man stepped out of the crowd
with n pistol in his hand and fired
three shots at Naudin s automobile.

Thousands surged upon the at
tempted assassin. lie was knocked
down, trampled and beaten Police res
cued him from those intent upon taking
his life and hurried him off to prison.
''Part of the crowd rushed back to
the carriage containing the president
Stay back! They are trying to shoot
you,' was the warning that came to
MilleMnd from hundreds of persons. >
AS the news of the attempt on the
life of Millerand spread throughout

Day, its national holiday, hundreds OF
thousands rushed down the Champs
Elysee toward the president 5 resi-
slence.
Soldiers and police formed a GORDON

pudiated the confession that he tried ia
assassinate Millerand. He said he only
intended to start II demonstration and
did not intend to kill anyone.

policeman was injured by the crowd
that attempted to lynch Bouvet. An
arm of Marie Du Camp was scared by
one of the bullets fired by Bouvet.
Woman Spoils Aim
Bouvet S poor aim at the automobile
of Naudins was due to his struggle
with woman on whose shoulder he
rested his revolver. The woman
N Madame Olivia, told police she fought
III the anarchist because she thought
6uvet was attempting to take hei
slace in the front row of the crowd
witnessing the parade.
