was that they were selling good

and asses for even more and also
that their prosperity was making
some of the citizens a bit sorry
that their laws forbade the free
use of vine. So we gather from
The Travels of Marco Polo"
that
Should any ore assert that
The Saracens do not drink wine,
being forbidden by their law, it
may be answered that they quiet
their consciences On this point
by persuading themselves that

it is partly consumed and be

without infringing the com mmard

A PROGRESSIVE INDUSTRY

Metal mining development
and the modern processes being
applied to it's furtherance is be.
coming the marvel of the age"
says the Mining Review, pub
lished at Salt Lake City, Utah.
"All past ideas of it's magnitude
and possibilities, and all previ-
GUS notions of the bestand quick.
est methods of attaining results
are being heaved precipitately
into the discard. No wonder the
prospector and his burro' are
slipping down the steep inclines
into the sea of oblivion. I'm.
portant as they have been as
necessary l-blazers of the
past and as pioneers in develop
the industry of metal mining,
they no longer are able to keep
up with the procession.
THE modern trend of metal
mine development calls for quick
action and an expenditure of
money time and talent that must
bring results speedily and upon
a larger scale than most of the
old timers have been or are able
to comprehend. In the older
and better known mining camps
and districts we are constantly
witnessing reopening of old,
worked out properties and their
conversion into producers on a
scale never dreamed of by their
original owners and operators.

OIL LEASE QUIZ
MAY END
WW "H

The question Of continuing It's
inquiry into the original leasing Of
the Governments salt Creek oil re-
serves, said to be richer than either
Elk Hills or Teapot Dome, may be
settled today by the Senate Public
Lands Committee at g. secret ses-
sion.
The Salt Creek leases, negotiated
by the Wilson administration, have
been under Republican fire ever
since the Elk Hills and Teapot Dome
scandals broke into the front pages
of newspapers.
The Salt Creek fields were leased
chiefly to the Midwest Oil Company,
WHICH in turn sold it's oil to the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana.
The negotiators included Harry r.
Sinclair, Henry M. Blackmer, and
James F. O'Neil, who were involved
in the Teapot Dome scandal and
the Continental Trading Company's
Liberty bond scandal
A preliminary inquiry was carried
out last summer by former Senator
Thomas F. Sterling (R) of South
Dakota, employed as special counsel
by the committee. Sterling was said
to have filed a report, approving the
original leases, but there were indi-
cations the committee might set this
report aside and hold its own investi-
cation.

the bureau squads, equipped with

In explaining the purpose Of this
phase OF the inquiry, an attache Of,
the States attorney office said:
"This investigation of detective
sduad members is being conducted
not because state Attorney Swanson
believes the murder squad was led
by detectives. but because he Is not

The results of last nights prob

But chapter had started sprouting
even before chapter was well under

a terrible time that was had by Connie

man and Crick Greenway's that night.
These were laconic remarkS-few, to be
sure, but they became more detailed as
gossip took hold and asked where had
gone this harmless fellow, Connie, after
the big carousal in the hills that night.
Was 1t true that gang of men had
set upon Connie and Tillar in the hol-

putting pig marks" on him with brass

by a gang that same night, began to

him to be the body of a man. Her
man Greenway and four other men
were carrying this body to burning

sure the body was that OF poor Connie
Franklin.
Then along came Robbie Johnson
wife of Sheriff Sam johnson, and a
very determined little body with a mill
tant desire for justice. She and big
Sam dug around in an ash pile near
where Reuben said he had seen the
men carry the body. This was late In
September. and the ash pile was partly
sprouted from below with new grass.

a cross-cut saw.
A week before the trial began Connie
was brought to Mountain View. He
was taken before Tillar, among 10 other
girls in the sheriff's home. He pointed
her out, spoke to her, played the
French harp as Of old, sang "On the
Trail of the Lonesome Pine" Tillar
drew back and wouldn't say whether
or not it was Connie.
Garrulous Coley Foster, friend of the
RUNNERS and Burnses, came along and
denied it was Connie. A dozen other
men from Buckhorn said it was. Con-
ME became public curiosity, walking

Was or wasn't he Connie? The
county began splitting into clans on
the issue.
How the talk ragged! No wonder the
biggest crowd ever in Mountain View
greeted the opening of the trial this
week. The grand jury stood firm and
would not renege on its indictment.

Prosecutor Hugh Williamson went
ahead as a public servant should.
Then the trial. The testimony of
Tillar and Connie, each giving their
slant of the story. The State couldn't
prove the bones were human. A State
witness said the present Connie was
the old Connie.
All this was tossed at the jury and it
was told to write the last line in the
novel-"Guilty" or mot Guilty" The
State did not show corpus deficit, ex-
