WARNING AGAINST
STOLEN ORDERS
Business men everywhere are
warned against cashing money
orders issued by the postoffice at
Keifer. A book of orders was
stolen there recently and are be-
ing forged and cashed all over
the country. In fact it is a safe
plan to refuse to cash a money
order for a stranger any time or
place.
A REMARKABLE OIL
WELL, NEAR AVERY
Near Avery, Lincoln county,
is a miniature refinery, the Rex
Refining company, whose entire
supply of crude is about 15 bar-
rels a day from a remarkable
well owned by Sinclair & White,
in seotion 35-17-6, west of the
southern end of the Cushing-
Layton sand production.
This well produces a crude of
about 65 degrees gravity, so
dean that a handkerchief dipped
in it will be left with hardly a
perceptible stain when the oil is
evaporated. The little refinery
oonverts about 85 per cent of this
unusual well’s production into
high gravity gasoline, getting so
little residum that it has to buy
some fuel oil to run its small
plant.
The well is on the J. D. Faires
farm and is regarded as a freak.
It is supposed to be in the Lay-
ton sand formation. Nothing
else like it has been found any-
where around. The oil is hauled
in barrels by wagon.

eous heater came near killing

tors to restore her. This is the
second time Mrs. Brown had had
the same experience.
BRITTON DOCTOR

Dr. Young of Britton met with
a serious accident a few days

tient west of that town. His
horse ran away, threw the doctor

the ankle. He was taken to a
hospital at Oklahoma City.

The Ulrich and Buffington
boys, northeast of Luther, while
out hunting Saturday night,
caught a specie of animal which
was unknown to them, but which
proved to be an Amarillo, known
as the South America grave dig-
ger. This specie of animal was
not known to exist in this coun-
try and the finding of this one
was quite a surprise. The Am-
arillo is a small animal with a
hard bony shell. The Ulrich
boys have the animal in safe
keeping and many have been to
see it.
