NO that story from Kansas City
about our inteding TO move our oIeo-
margarine plant is not a bluff nor is it
fake" said George Dold last evening
As he surveyed a massive iron pillar
that was Just put in place in the lower
story Of the eleven story hog house at
the big Dold packing plant.
We have invested a good deal of
money in our plant and if we cannot
make o'comargarine in Missouri and
can make it in Kansas we will move
and that is all there is to it,"
Then Mr.. Dold explained that they
made very fine article of oleornarga-
rine and it was made of the best dairy
butter and clean taI1ow and was far
superior to common country butter for
bic use.
Mir Dold said that he was not in
dairy butter. He said the pronper

He declared that he had a perfect
right to manufacture oleomargarine

Mr. Dold explained that some dairy
men In Missouri wanted the oleomarga-

they We're afraid to do that directly for
fear the courts might knock them out
and so they secured the passage of a
law by the Missouri legislature forbid

manufacture Of oleomargarine
That would leave the oleon1argarine

nobody would want to buy that for

from Kingfisher. At Caldwell he
transferred to the Santa Fe with the
intention of going west on the Null
Vane extension to a western county
where he expected to Craze his calves.
When he came to Mulvane the con-
ductor of the Mulvane extension re-
fused to take the cattle, claiming that
they were quarantine cattle and could
not be unloaded anywhere on the Null
vane extension. The cattle were sent
on to Wichita and the stock yards in
spector and yardmaster would not let
them unload there.
At this stage VIII f. Bolton, who
was at the yards in the interest of
new live stock journal which he is go
ing to publish at Woodward. Okla, as
the official organ of the Oklahoma Live
Stock association. came upon the scene
and said that the whole crowd were mis-
taken, that KingfiSher was not d

Mr.. Bolton said he was present when
that dead line was run and ne was Will

and said: Good for you!'
1t was a car load OF pretty good
calves and George Dold proposed to
settle the whole mess by giving Poison
S14 a head for his calves. Poison said
if his calves were subjected to quar-
antine he would take the price, other
wise he would not.

Watson's Hallucination.

Chas. F. Watson, the cigar maker
and cornetist in the Keystone band,
was not only the victim of an hallucina-
tion last Friday night, but he got Post
master McGaw and several other citi-
zens excited over what he thought was
an attempt to break open tho safe in
the postofiice and abscond with the con-
tents thereof. About the time ghosts
stalk abroad Charles was meandering
down Main street meditating on Cupid's S
pranks, and when he got in front OF the
bank of Seeley, Alexander & Co., he
was quickly brought from the realms OF
confectionery" things to think that
bold, bad men were breaking the safe
open in the postoffice. AS soon as he
could swollow the lump in his throat,
he stepped off the sidewalk onto the
plank street and stealthily hastened
down town to get some help to capture
the robbers. Several citizens were
aroused and Postmaster McGaw was
also called out OF his warm bed, re-
luctantly, to save Uncle Sans property.
McGaw was the first one to arrive at
the postofiice but he did not succeed
in getting the front door unlocked un-
til some of the other we'll armed citi-
zens got there. 1t was then discovered
that 1t was all caused by the steam heat
toying with the radiator in the post
Office. The postoffice, like THE STAR
office, is supposed to be heated with
steam heat, and when water gets into
the radiator it makes noise which
sounds like some one pounding or cut
ting iron with a chisel.
