gives from $100 to $500 in free lines
for the benefit of the community in
which it is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The
local editor, in proportion to his
means, does more for his town than
anj other ten men. In fairness,
then, he ought to be supported, not
becouee you happen to like him or
admire his view points and his way
of expressing it, but because a local

NOTICE!
The case pending in the courts
to determine which of the Cairo
papers is the official organ of
Grady County has been appealed
to the Supreme court.
If the judgement of that Court
shall be that The Progress is
the official organ, then this paper
will be entitled to pay for all le
gal advertising done in the mean
time, notwithstanding parties
may have already paid the Mes
senger therefor.
Justice demaifds,' v therefore,
that all persons be warned that
when they pay the Messenger
for legal advertising, they do so
at the risk of what the final de
cision may be, and they may
have to pay again to The Prog-
RRESS.
If no.conviction.can lie secured in
the superior cuiirt, of course it
would not go higher up. On the
other hand, if a conviction; is ac
cural and the defendant is able’ to
do so the .case could bo appealed to-,

Wild Man Roaming Desert
of Colorado, Finds Gold.
San Bernardino, Cal., Cec 26.—
Clad only in a breech clout., wearing
sandals and armed with a shotgun,
a wild man is roaming the Colorado
desert, according to Phillip Hess, a
Calixco miner. He says he has
verified this statement by filing on
a geld claim which, he declares, was
shown to him by she wild naan,
whom lie met wnile prospecting.
“it was north of Coyote that I
ran across the civilized barbarian,’
said he in recounting his adventure.
‘He was hidden behind a bunch of
sage brush and had me covered with
his shotgun the instant I yelled at
him.
* ‘Stive for a breech clout am) san
dais os worn leather he was naked.
His hair hung to hie boulders,
ahould judge he was more than six
feet tall—a splendid speeiraan of
physical mandood. Still holding
me captive, he guided me about a
half a mile to the north, where he
Malted at a narrow gulch.
“There, he exclaimed, stake that
out and go back and.tell your friends
that a man that was a rich New
Yorker and blew in a fortune guided
you to riches.”
Captain Bartlett, of Otis, who
believes he knows the idenity of the
wild man, has left on a prospecting
trip in the desert and to search for
the-wild man.
