Condensed Letters
JOHN P. MCGEHEE of Ida, Oklahoma writes: … letter about how to take warts off mules. Instead of cutting it off, take flour of Sulphur and make a thick cream with sulphuric acid with a little calomel. Apply to wart with a stick. Wart will go off without leaving a bad scar. I saw a wart as large as a milk crock taken off a mule and it left the mule smooth and nice…

How a “Hill Billy” Campaigns in Arkansas
He’ll “Make Bootleggers Think Hell Ain’t 49 Feet from Courthouse,” if Elected
Paris, Arkansas: An Arkansas hill billy who “outran the dogs on Sunday morning to keep from having my face washed,” is stirring things up around here in a vigorous race for prosecuting attorney of Logan, Franklin and Crawford Counties.
HARNEY M. MCGEHEE, attorney and ordained minister, is seeking the position on an unusual platform. McGehee, a Democrat, announces his candidacy as follows:
“I am an Arkansas hillbilly, born and raised in Boston Mountains north of Ozark. I outran the dogs on Sunday morning to keep from having my face washed—did my sparking bare-footed and on foot—never saw a train until I was 15 years old and was almost grown before I learned that Republicans were human like other people.
“I have farmed with a double shovel and Georgia stock and plowed an old mule, 19 years old, in new ground without cussing—have taught school---preached and practiced law and a first class mechanic, having worked around a sorghum mill.
“I came to Crawford County five years ago and have since been elected to the legislature twice and have been operated on for appendicitis.
“Last year, I married the finest girl in Oklahoma and we are living happily together in Van Buren.
“I want the office because I can make a living out of it and I will promise, if elected, to make things so warm for crooks and law violators of all kinds that they will think hell ain’t 40 feet from the courthouse.
“I expect to spend the time between now and the election, Aug. 12, kissing the babies, bragging on women’s cooking, complimenting the farmers on their crops and warming things up for my opponents.”
When he isn’t warming things up for his opponent, MCGEHEE, just 28, engages in legal practice at Van Buren, his home. He is serving his second two year term in the Arkansas legislature and has also been a Chautauqua lecturer.
Even in the flurry of a hot political fight, McGehee, a former minister, has this to say for religion: “Men wrangle for religion; write for it; fight for it; die for it—anything but live for it.”
“I’ll carry all three counties with an overwhelming vote, and I’ll be governor of Arkansas some day not far distant,” McGehee says, confidently.

Death of JAKE MCGHEE / MCGEHEE
San Patricio, Texas, Dec. 30: JAKE MCGHEE, son and two others left their homes Friday, the 28th, at Nueces for a few days hunting up the Nueces River in N.BLUNTZER’S pasture. Arriving in the evening, they pitched camp and started out hunting. Mr. McGhee and son came back to camp about the same time from different directions. The son told his father he saw some parties butchering a beef a short way from the camp, whereupon Mr. McGhee remarked it must be the BLUNIZER boys and that he would go over and get a piece for supper. Soon after he left, the son heard two shots, but thinking Mr. McGhee had shot at some game, paid no attention to it, but after an hour or so, the others arriving, they became alarmed and went in search of Mr. McGhee, finding him dead, being shot twice, at the place where the two Mexicans were butchering beef. The alarm was at once given and the posse went in search of the murderers. They tracked their horses to a Mexican jacal, there arresting one suspect. Thence going to another jacal, found the other Mexican, calling him out. He came out of the jacal running and made for the thick brush a short distance away. There are now at least 50 men searching the country but up today, Sunday, the 30th, no trace can be found. PAT WHELAN, sheriff of Nueces County, also DAVID ODEM, sheriff of San Patricio County, are on the scene and are instituting a vigorous search.
