Berne Girl, Shot By Farm Hand, Is Recovering Satisfactory progress is being made by Miss Julia Colpaert, 21, of near Berne, who was shot and seriously wounded recently by Hector Vandalle, jealous farm hand, who later committed suicide by hanging, according to reports from the Lutheran hospital at Fort Wayne, where Miss Colpaert is a patient. Miss Colpaert was shot in the left jaw and shoulder. The gunshot wound is reported to be healing nicely. Much of the jaw bone was shattered by the shot from a sawed-off shotgun, used by Vandalle, and many of the girl’s teeth are missing. According to a physician, bone will need to be transplanted to restore her jaw In that event, a portion of one of her ribs likely will be used to build up the jaw. The operation can not be performed, however, until the gunshot wound is well healed. “Coin In The Slot” Gasoline Filling Station Invented Greensburg, Ind., Feb. 21 —(U.R) —Dr. Charles Overpeck and Marin Allen have obtained a patent on a device for dispensing gasoline to motorists, using the “coin in the slot" principals.

ORPHANED GIRLS MADE WEALTHY FROM OIL LAND Jnilial Royalty Is $40,000, j And Much More Is To Come i Apperson. Okla., Feb. 21. — flj.R)— Fortune has reached into this little Osage county town and favored two orphaned girls not yet old enough to realize fully their good luck. The girls are Doris and Una Hembree, 5 and 7 years old, who have just been notified that they are to share in a first royalty payment of $203,500 from the farm their parents left them. Their share will amount to $40,000 and is only the beginning of wealth which eventually will come from the eight producing oil wells on their farm near Maud, Okla., in the Greater Seminole oil field area. Tlie girls live with their aunt. Mrs. A. C. Lemon, at Apperson. Their mother on her deathbed in 1926 placed the girls in care of her sister, Mrs. Lemon. The girls’ father, Oren Hembree, died in 1924 from injuries sustained when he fell from the roof of a barn he was building. When the mother died a debt of several hundred dollars stared the children in the face. After the father's death the mother barely managed to eke out an existence and could not reduce the debt. Mrs. Lemon and her husband, however, after the mother's death, managed to keep the farm, then thought to be worthless. But now the girls and their guardian. Bert Harris, Maud banker, have been ordered to appear in court soon to claim their share of the estate which is now worth a million or so. It is a safe bet they will be there. Mrs. Lemon has children of her own, and the house in which the whole family lives, together with the grandfather. D. N. Brothers, is no larger than the ordinary oil field residence—three or four rooms, but there always has been room for the orphan’ sisters. Una. the elder, has started to school, and $40,000 means a piano so she may take music lessons, and money for art lesson in which she shows aptitude. Neither girl can comprehend $40,000 with more to come, and Doris,
