walls, contributing a suggestion of

forming little promenade for those
who desired to stroll about chatting
with friends in the boxes.
A gaily colored awning was
stretched above the boxes reserved
for the Secretary of War and the
general of the armies, with the Sec
retary's flag and the four-starred
generals flag thanking the entrance
Giant umbrellas shaded the other
boxes, with. polo balls and crossed
mallets contributing a characters

The General, however, soon left his
box for the dance floor and was
still going strong as the ball drew
to it's close.
Not since the Children's Hospital
ball in January has such a notable
company assembled at the Willard
as came together last evening. The
Assistant Secretary of War, Dwight

their box to the Counselor of the

LOCAL PARTIES SEE
FREAKISH SNAKES

Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde Kolb
visited relatives at Dierks Sat-
urday and Sunday Returning
home Sunday afternoon by way
of Nashville.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kolb stopped
over at Nashville and saw the
two snakes recently killed ther
which have attracted attention
because of the alleged pictures
of persons appearing on the
back of the head of each snake.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kolb' examined
the reptiles, which are preserv-
ed in alcohol, closely and both
say the pictures are there all
right and as plain as the aver
age KODAK picture. One is the
likeness of a woman with hair
brushed back and parted in the
middle while the other, Mr..
Kolb says, has the features Of
a man. No one who has seen the
snakes ever saw any of the
same kind before and they have
been christened "house snakes"
for lack of better name. They
have the markings of the
ground rattlesnake, but are said
to be different in color.

CECIL LEWIS
MAKES ESCAPE
Youth Held Here for Texas OF.
fcerS Escapes from County
Jail.

Cecil Lewis, a 16-year-old
white youth wanted for the
theft Of an automobile IN
Dallas, Texas, escaped from the
county jail here last Saturday
about noon, while JailCr Bear
den was away, and made a sue
cessful getaway. He is known
to have gone in the direction Of
Fulton and was seen along the
road in the vicinity of Cross
roads by several parties, but
he was successful in evadins
the officers, who searched dill
gently for him, but without re-
suits. Lewis was confined in the
cell corridor at the time and got
cut through the door, which is
fastened with a lever controlled
bar operated from the outside.
1t is the opinion of the officers
that the prisoner had outside
assistance.
Lewis has been in Jail here
for sevela weeks, having been
arrested at Hope on advice of
Dallas officers. 1t is alleged he
had sold the stolen car to Floyd
Dobson of near Hope and he
was being kept here as a states
witness against Dobson, who
was charged with possessing
stolen property. Lewis was to
have been turned over to the
Dallas authorities last Monday
A Jail delivery was attempt
ed here three weeks ago, when
the Jail was full of prisoners
awaiting trial at the term of
court. At that time an outside
confederate, using a long pole,
passed a bolt cutter through a
side window and into the cells.
Jailer Bearden suspected an at
tempt to escape and a searcn
revealed the hidden tool which
was in the possession of Lewis.

With a special representative
of the Columbus (Ohio) Oil Co.,
working comparatively with Mr..
Allen G. Thurman, the presi-
dent Of the Columbus-Hope Oil
Company, a crew is at work at
the King No. 2 test well, two
miles east of Washington,
attempting to remove the 6-inch
casing from the hole. They are
said to be meeting with some de-
gree of success, as the stuck
casing has been raised a consid-
cradle distance. The crew feels
confident of success.
If the King No. 2 well is clear
ed of the stuck casing, it is be-
lieved no difficulty will be had
in financing the test further.
The well is down about 2150 #.
in depth and one good oil sand
has al.eady been passed thru
because of the crews inability
to set the casing for a test.
Mr.. Myers, promoter of the
Nichol No. l test well, just to
the north of town, has been i'll
at Grand Rapids, Mich, his
former home, but he is expected
to return here soon and resume
work at that well.
