10-Tuesday, March 8, 1932 PRORATION OF RAIL BOARD UPHELD Elated by a federal court Injuncton which considerably strengthened the Texas railroad commiscontrol of East Texas oil alon's fields, Fred Upchurch, assistant attorney general, today laid further plans for enforcement of the commission's orders. Federal court granted him an injunction restraining Constantin and Wrather--successful attackers of martial law control of the fieldfrom violating the commission's orders, thus turning upon them 1 the weapon with which they had sought to escape any restriction of oil production on their leases. 75 Barrel Allowable Upchurch stated today he would Institute similar proceedings in cross actions against all other operators who attack the commisston' jurisdiction presuming the federal court would take the same in all identical cases, these injunctions would successfully maintain civil law control of the field until a court hearing on stitutionality of state conservation laws. Thus the same federal court which held martial law invalid would become in effect an agency for enforcement of civil law which coincides, for thin practical purposes, with martial law. Both martial law and the railroad commission set the field allowable at 75 barrels per well.

Sterling Pleased Gov. Sterling, now appealing to the U. 8. supreme court from the ruling invalidating his control of the oil field, said he had nothing to add to previous statements regardins removal of troops from the field. He did, however, express approval of Upchurch's unexpected move, and repeated previous facetious comments about "8 government by Injunction." The governor stated he had always said he would remove the troops at the earliest moment he considered safe.

'today the sensus of opinion that the latest injunction had brought that safety point considerable nearer.

INDIAN SKELETON FOUND IN CAVE NEAR HERE A recent find in Indian relies, many of which have been discovered from time to time In the mountainous district near Austin, was reported today by R. L. Preece, who said that he had found A skeleton in a cave on his property, which is located on the Marble Falls road above Big Bull creek. Mr. Preece said that he had frequently visited the cave during the past few years, but had not previously attempted any exploration work.

The skeleton, in an excellent state of preservation, was found buried face down with a chamber of rocks protecting the head. Most of the skeletons which have been found around Austin, and even as far as Leander, are said to have been found in this type of position, although certain tribes of the Indians bury their dead in sitting position. Two students of the university department of anthropology who visited the cave said that indications proved the skeleton to be middleaged and of small statue. A complete examination has not yet taken place. In addition to the skeleton, numerous bones of wild animals, presumably those of deer and bear, muscle shells and spear and arrow heads, were discovered.

It is also of interest that the cave is located on the old Comanche trail. which runs through the backyard adjoining the house of Mr. Preece. This is said to be the chief trail from which the Indians made their large raids on Austin. Although a number of mounds are also located near the trail only a few relics have been found.

Only properly accredited persons will be allowed to visit the cave, according to the owner. 2-YEAR TERM IS GIVEN FOR BURGLARY HERE Pleading guilty to an indictment In 53rd district court charging with burglary, Willie Rentira day afternoon was assessed a penitentiary sentence.
