4 few days ago one OF the numer-
Gus advertising takers ofthe country
struck Denison and began 10 work

frame large pictures Of n certain
u-ion depot, surround them with
cards of business houses and place
them in the hotels, depots and like
places. The merchants invested and
the faker put up two or three cards,
got into debt with McDougaII hotel
20 the extent Of 81. 20, collected for
his advertising and was ready to
leave town. he was not a man OF
retired, sensitive taste nor did he
indulge in soft sentimentalities so
when he was ready to start he mount

himself and the the gentle zephyrs.
lie wasted no sentiment to tell the
hotel people goodbye, and no money
to pay railroad fare, hut took ad-
vantage of a fine opportunity to
leave town when all was quiet and
peaceful. The three signs, worth
about ten cents apiece, for which the
merchants each paid ten dollars, are
still hanging, and will do duty for a
month or two, when they viii pass
into the memory as things that have
been, and the merchants who invest

but an aching void in their pocket

IN his charge to the grand jury
Monday, Judge Kilgore instructed
them that the law would hold thc
center of the river bed to be the line
be tween this country and Oklahoma,
therefore the sand bar saloon, which
wa.i 4 considerable distance west of
the center line, was on the Chicka
saw soil, herce the owners and
agents We're guilty OF violating tine
law in regard to Introducing and sell
ing intoxicants. The saloon men
were evidently Of the opinion that
the judges instructions were based
on sound law, as they moved on
Tuesday to the east side of the cen
tral line. We are glad this question
has been brought up, as this place
has become quite a nuisance 10 all
decent people OF the town, becoming
a resort for all kinds Of tough char
acters, both male and female. The
further of it gets the better our
people will be pleased.-Purcell

ON THE WAR. PATH.
Joe Jacobs and w. c. Wilson Make
Desperate DemOnstratIons--The
Gave Peace Bonds.

w. G. Wilson and Joe Jacobs were
up this morning before Commits
sioner Walcott and each required to
give a peace bond, the former in the
sum of 5000 and the latter $500.
The cause of this requirement was
war like demonstrations between the
two men, in which it appeared that
there was a probability of bloodshed
if they were not checked.
From what the ARDMoREITE could
learn it appears the trouble between
them began Saturday night. Mr.
Wilson works for Mrs. Rowland in
he restaurant on West Main street,
and Jacobs at a stand and wagon
yard opposite the court house. On
Saturday Jacobs had trouble with a
man by the name OF Price, who asked
protection at the restaurant, and for
which Jacobs became offended md
heaped abuse on Wilson.
This morning the two men met,
and, it is alleged, that Jacobs drew a
pistol and snapped it at Mr.. Wilson
who, being unarmed at the time, sue
cessfully defended himself with
rocks.
Still later they again met, this time
both armed, one with a shot gun, the
other with a winchester.
Fearing that the matter would not
be dropped Judge Walcott took the
action above stated.
Complaint has also been lodged
against Jacobs for 2 disturbance of
the peace.
