Times-J Journal: The Guthrie News notes
that large quantities of wheat continues
to be shipped from this point" Yes, Jones
Touring mill is receiving considerable
wheat from Guthrie and also from Nor
man, Ell Beno, Hennessey, Mulhall. King
fisher and other points. Our 440 barrel
Touring mill is kept running at It's fullest
capacity and it takes considerable wheat
to supply it, 1t is splendid territorial in
stltution. for in addition to giving an ex-
cellent home market it gathers IN the
wheat from all over the territory.
William c. Marvel of the &C valley in
conversation with IA Times-J ournal re-
porter says he is we'll pleased with the crop
prosdects, and vol! he may be, for he has
just threshed 1900 bushels of wheat from
forty acres and has ia acres of corn that
will make seventy-five bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Marvel says that a great fault made
by farmers in this country is in planting
both corn and wheat too thick. Wheat he
thinks should not be put in before October
20, aud if put in in corn stalks, the corn
should be first husked, and the ground
prepaoed with a disc harrow
Oklahoma City Gazette: Marion Berry,
a Creek negro and we'll known interpret
er, is under arrest for selling liquor con-
trary to the laws of the United States
The mode of his arrest and the subsequent
procedure of his captors is SO peculiar that
it may result in an investigation. 1t seems
that the arrest occurred in county b, and
as the law directs that prisoner shall be
taken before the nearest justice for hear
ing. one would naturally suppose That an
offender would be accorded the right to
have hearing in the community where
he resides and with chance to give bail.
Instead of this. however, he was hauled to
Oklahoma City for hearing before United
States Commissioner jackson. His law
yers. however, have made application TO
Probate Judge Steward fof writ OF
haDeas corpus, and the matter Is being
argued this afternoon.
