the lower end of these lakes where
he rolled in some old logs and
made a floating dam which caught
the oil on top but let the water
run under the log's. A fter getting1
everything fixed to suit him he
sat down and tried to estimate
how many barrels of oil he had. |

A lonely pedestrian, 75
years old, a victim of the
floods in the vicinity of Crow-
der City, <>. .loy Parks by
name, stopped to rest in Mc-
Alester on his long trek from
Crowder City to Fort Smith,
At the hitter place he has
friends and expects to get fi-
nancial relief.
Parks had good prospects
for a crop on bis lease, but
the Hoods came and blighted
them. He waited. The wa-
ters rose again. 1 ho farm was
inundated a second time. And
then a third. His money be-
came exhausted and his pro-
visions gave out. Nothing
was left but what be deemed
the inevitable and be packed
a few clothes into a bundle,
swung them on his back, and
set out to walk to Fort Smith.

to the safety of Crowderites from
