Guthrie, o. T., Nov. 23.-Near Gushing,
In this territory, the farmers of coun-
ty neighborhood known as Lone Oak
threaten to make trouble with some peo-
ole of Cushing for spelling their hay
stacks by sliding down the sides of them
on a recent moon-lit Sunday night. 1t
seems that the party of young men and
women attended church at Lone Oak
and after services started on their way
home. Every hay stack they came to
they climbed up and then proceeded to
slide down in great merriment and con-
fusion. The farmers now propose to
prosecute.
One farmer who takes humorous view
of the injury done to his hay stack, writes
TO the Gushing Herald: A spring-wagon
load of Gushing sinners attended divine
service at the school house last Sunday
evening. They acted like common young
eters while in church, but oh, horrors
tell 1t not on Skull creek: publish it not
in the Herald-they made the Sabbath
welkin ring when downward bound. They
stopped the horses at every hayetack and
hitter clmbin onto the haystacks, they
slid down again. Their loud giggiing
and boisterous yells caused the legion or
disturbed dogs to howl like furious ours,
and some Of the owners Of the damaged
haystacks are now hoyling Cor damages.
