OL WAS ON LAND HE COULONT SEL Now Agod Ranchman Himsell .. Is Wealthy #an Antonio, Tex., Feb. 3.—M— The wolf of want that had pursued ira G. Yates, aged ranchman, since he was & lad of 12, seemed very close last fall when Yates tried to acll his ranch at $3 an acre — and failed. A mortgage of $90,000 hung over the property of the 76-year-old ranch'owner and he had hoped to meet this by selling his 26,000 acres and his cattle. And now, the land that Ira Yates could not sell has made him a mil- lionaire, Engineers say that there are 278,000,000 barrels of ol under 20,000 acres. Yates liquidated the debt that had loomed so large merely by leasing & small part of his real es- tate to an oil company. Then he sat back and let the oil companies 114 against each other for the drill- ing rights on the rest of the land— no longer the Yates ranch, but now the Yates oil field. © Cattle and sheep no longer roam ovep the mesas and through the ravines, for the old ranchman fears that an oil derrick might fall and kill some of the animals. But he is a ranchman still. e has bought a ranch of 23,000 acres in Central Texas an: d his herds there. There is no mortzage over the new ranch, and he hopes that he never may be compelled 1o otfer his property at $3 an acre. “Creditors used to be after me/| for money.” said Yates as he musel on the changes that have occurred. “Now a lot of people try to get money from me, but it's a different £ort of demand.” ‘This is the first time, he added, that ke has been “ahead of the wolf" since he was left an orphan at the ago of 12. WYOMING MARKING SITES OF BATTLES Western Ranch Deeds Park Land to State Sheridan, Wyo., Feb. 8.—UP—Fif- teen acres of land, comprising the &£lte of the battle of July 29, 1865, in ‘which Capt. P. E. Connor led troops nd scouts of the “Connor Expedi- “‘on' 'in an attack on Arapahoe 11dfans, has been deeded to the state of Wyoming by the O-Four- Bar Ranch. Chief Black Bear and Old David commanded the Red Men, and the engagement was considered one of the most important in the ten-year war between the whites and th» red men in the Rocky Mountain re- gion, | commission this year. | upon their somber sides throws the | are figures of animals, tracks of an- jon a gigantic scale and figures of The land will be set aside and appropriatcly marked by the his- toric landmark commiasion of Wyo- ming, which is obtaining other lands where Indians and pioneers battled. Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Payseno have given 13 acres from their home stead upon which once stood Fort Reno on the Powder river, Other sites ot similar historic importancs are expected to be acquired by the The Connor Expedition of 1865, led by Jim Bridger, scout and fronticrsman, started from F-rt Laramie in July, headed for the Big*Horn mountains to sweep the country of hostile Indians who were harassing travelers over the Bozeman trail. In the battle with the Arapahoes 63 Indian warriors were killed, {n- cluding a son of Cbief Black, and 1,000 Indian ponies and 250 ledges were captured. ROCK CLIFFS SHOW ART OF ANCIENTS Painted Rocks of Lac La Croix Are Imperishable Record Duluth, Minn., Feb. 3.—(P—0n the “Palnted Rocks” of Lac La Croix, rising sheer out of the still waters of an almost inaccessible lake near the Minnesota-Canadian berder, is written in crude but imperishabla paintings the story of a vanished people, Seventy to eighty feet the paint- cd rocks tower above the decp lake and the sun's spotlight playing grotesque figures into startling rve- lief. Seven groups of paintings, with 10 to 15 drawings in a group, com- rose the legendary record. There clent beasts, hand and foot prints Indian lore such as the god of war | with thunderbolt arrows clutched in one hanl and a great bow in the other. The scrawled figures tere placed on the rocks with vegetable paint, made of mushrooms that be- came scarlet for about two daysin| the fall. The paint apparently | kept the rocks from eroding, and | the figures sta1d out in elight bas- relief. Kurt Florman, Duluth photogra- pher, is credited with taking the first photographs of the prehistoric frieze. He swung himself along the face of the rocks on a 60-foot rope and used special color screens and sensitive chromatic films. The natives know nothing of the people who thus perpetuated the history of their time. There are no records to show who they were, One painting shows two animals. One obviously is a moose, but his horns have 12 long prongs lil® an elk or a caribou. ‘The other animal is either an an- telope or a mountain goat, with long, wavy horns. No animal like that roamed the Minnesota Arrow- head country within the memory of man. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1928, The rocks are on the south side of | S Shortiss Island, Lac La Croix, two days’ hard paddling from Crane Lake, on the Canadian boundary canoe route. DROPS OF FUEL CAUSE OF KNOCK. Motor Noises May Be Traced to These Sources London, Feb. 3 . UM—Motora “Knock” because of the very rapid burning of tiny drops of the fue: contalning peroxides, formed during compression, believes Professor E. N. da C. Andrade, whose lectures on ergines before the Royal Institution are attracling wide attention. Professor Andrade says there are at least fourtzen theorles as to the | causes of the “knock’” which is so | disconcerting to automobilists. e ! inclines to the one mentioned and | says that regardless of the cause, certain chemicais, among which may may be named lead othide and iron carbonyl, if put into the petrol in | quite #mall quaatities, will stop the | “knock” while others will cause it to occur more easily. | As the use of the “anti-knock” | substances allows the use of av Ligher compression, Professor An- | drade believes there is a great fu- |8 ture for the development of this mecthod of increasing efficiency.
