the general belief that oil may be
found in greater quantities a few
miles west or southwest of the pres-

and believe that an output of six
barrels a day is not exaggerating
the capacity of the vein. The Stock-

with a vengeance in his last two bouts
Here is how his fight with Kinie is
described:
“There was one knockout, althi
the evening was featured by one ol'
those technical kayos and it came
against Ed Rime, who up until around
10 o'clock last night, has been slap-
ping aside opposition with more or
less dignified disdain.
“It took a redhead to do it, a
newcomer here, nlthn he gets credit
for the only stoppage of the night, a
few of the performers in other bouts !
just about went to sleep standing up
as the result of some neat and nasty .
cuffing.
“After that came the two heavies, i

an who exchanged ponderous socks I
on about even terms until the sixth
when he caught big Ed with some

We congratulate Sonora upon the occasion of the
issue of the Devil’s River News and wish to remind you
that we are always glad to have our Sutton County

IMPROVES BAKERY.
The Ware Bakery has recently in-
stalled a Hubert Cake machine which
is used in mixing cakes, etc., and is
of the type used by the large city

Since putting in the bakery here,
Mr. Ware put in many improvements
that make it possible for him to give
his patrons better service.
