prospecting for oil. This lady says
that the ground along the edge of
tho crook seems strongly Imprcgatcd
with oil, that If you dig down a few
inches, water fills the hole and after
a few minutes a light skim of oil
covers tho water.
Medicine creek flows through the
south part of this county but as yet
no leases havo been made on Lincoln
county land. Tho leases in Frontier
county are being made for one year.
with tho privilege of an extension of
tho leases.
The fact that tho leases are being
made Is creating considerable excite
mnt In that section, and already the
residents are planning to do certain
tilings when they "strlko lie" on
their lands.

L'piscopal Team Wins
The ball team of the Episcopal
church defeated the Catholic team
Tuesday afternoon by the score of
eight to four In a game that aroused
great enthusiasm in the crowd of 400
spectators. In winning this game
the Episcopal team secured the
church league penant and closed the
season with a percentage of 1000, not
having lost a game. Tuesday s game
was not of the sand lot variety, it
was a real exhibition of ball playing.
a game in which every player showed
ginger, and while tliero were some
errors, they were shaded by tho bril
liant plays. Altogether lit was a
gamo that every spectator enjoyed
and every spectator rooted for one
team or the other and rooted with
all the enthusiasm In him. Tho
mound artists wero Guy Swope and
Jack Stack, and each dhl exceedingly
well.
It Is now proposed topick -an all
star team from members of the
church league, send them up against
tho Boosters, cliargo an admission and
donate the receipts to the associated
charities. This is a good scheme--push
It along.
