Photograph taken for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "In this modern age of jet travel and the H-bomb, most folks are too sophisticated to put much stock in jinxes and other superstitious nonsense. Take "water witches" for example. Not many people believe that in fellow with a willow branch clasped tightly in both hands can really find water. If one wants to find water he should to about it scientifically, using gadgets with flashing lights and dials, and maybe even a bugger or two tossed in for good measure. That may be all right for some folks, but not for Charlie Fisher. Fisher is a 78 year old Bryan county farmer who believed in the water witch. And, lucky or not, fisher gambled twice on the water witch and has won both times."
