SAW CURIOUS ANIMAL.
While driving a bunch of cattl
along the Best school section west o
to a one day l ist week, Clare Rich
aids nnd Pearl Simmons report tha
they saw a 'moscurious animal. Tlv
beast is reported to have had heai
and feet like a mule, was rather slen

The boys were very much concernef
as to wliat the beast might be am

letter of inquiry to the state zoolog

quiry:
Oklahoma City, Okla., Jan. 12, 1920
Mr. 0. L. Richard,
Hull'alo, Oklahoma.
Dear Mr. Richards:
Your letter giving me the descrip
tion of an animal in your locality re-
cently has been received. 1 have care
fully' read same, and 1 congratulate
you on having seen this animal. It
species is rare and almost extinct
The name called this animal, i:
ZEBULION. It lived in its native pe
rioil mostly in high altitudes, livinj
on shrubbery and evergreens. It \i
said that there are only three knowr
tn be in existence, one having beei
seen in Alaska and one in the Swist
mountains, and the third was seen vj
l)r. Cook on his trip to the north pole
near Greenland. Evidently this ani-
mal has been driven by fierce wintry
blasts from his north home. If there
is any chance that we can secure thh
a.iimal we will be glad to hear all ex
peases and pay you a reward. Pleas<
kindly lot me hear from you at tin
earliest date. Very respectfully yours

Holworlhy Hall
It is a rare occasion when
you can >>ick up three repre-
sentative magazines or three
periodicals of current date and
not find in one of them a story
by Holworthy Hall. Such is his
popularity. He is probably the
most widely read and discussed
fiction writer of the day. It is a
position well earned, for his
work is uniformly meritorious.
"The Man Nobody Knew," one
of his oddest and most inter-
esting creations, has been se-
cured for serial reproduction
in this paper. Be sure to get
the first installment, otherwise
you will miss the finest point
of this great narrative.
GATE OIL WELL NEWS.
The oil meeting Saturday was poor-
ly attended, a few who were present
subscribed for additional stock, but it
srreater interest must be manifested if
further drilling is done.
It's time every one interested in
this locality should get busy and that
right now. It will be the most serious
mistake Gate and the farmers adjoin-
ing have ever made if they fail in
•ompleting this test.
John Way, president of the Ashland
Oil and Gas Company, was in town
■londay and served an official notice
m the Gate Valley Oil Company that
hey would take possession of the
irilling outfit March 1 and move same
;o Ashland. They were very emphatic
n stilting that this notice was final
"id that no extension would be grant-
ed under any circumstaances.
Gate is certainly making one serious
mistake in showing indifference.—Gate
Valley Star.
