Death Bed Story OF
Riches Leads To
Wealth
BY International News Service.

JOHANNESBURG, July T.
Ten years ago an old Italian
prospector on his death-bed told
his partner that precious metal
existed in the Makwiro district,
sixty miles from Salisbury.
In spite of the ridicule of the
inhabitants, who thought the
country only fit for ranching,
the partner, also an Italian,
started prospecting. He has just
discovered platinum belt,
stated to be similar to the
Lydenburg formation.
Reduced to his last penny by
the prospecting, the Italian has
been offered huge sums for his
claims. --.---.-.-4---aAAI

refused to discuss Captain Headley's

but that another Commissioner in
sisted the board stick to it's original
decision.
A few minutes before the board
met, General Anton Stephan, former

Manufacturers Association, and
prominent civic leader, called on
Commissioner Fenning and dis
cussed Headley's case He would
not talk about the conference with
newspaper men, but it was reliably
reported he protested against Head

At the same time. in the office
of Engineer Commissioner Bell, w.

FACING
Loss Of M'CARTY

As the st. Mary's College Rattlers
enter a week of training in prepare
ton for their important clash with
the Texas University Freshmen at
Austin Saturday. they are pursued by
that same bugaboo which they firmly
believe caused them to be defeated By
Dallas University ON November IL
the absence of their crack quarterback
and guiding hand, "Shorty" McCarty.
McCarty was prevented from taking
part in the Dallas University game
when his father died the morning OF
the contest. IL he had been playing
there his teammates believe his long.
bullet-like passes would have defeated
the Dallas eleven.
Now it is not certain that McCnrty
will be able to continue his college
career. He is debating the question Of
accepting n position which has been
rendered him now. or waiting until
the present school year is ended. He
had not informed Coach O'Donnell OF
his intentions Monday.
IL McCarty is not in the lineup for
Saturdays game it will not only low
er the morale Of the Rather eleven
but will also diminish their offensive
strength.
