raousLe WITH STAR ROUTES.
The Contracts on Routes Leading out
Of Ardmore Revoked.

A little over a year ago the govern
ment made It imperative on star
route contractors 10 live on or ada
cent to the line. The three lines
leading out Of Ardmore 60 Healdton.
Madfl and Simon, were let as the
postmaster here thought, to one II. B.
varnor. who lives at ottorville Mo-
Mr. varnor came down here and hir-
ed parties to carry the mails for him.
and It was thought he took up resi-
dence here, as the law required.
Some six months ago there was so
much dissatisfaction here as to the
manner in which they we're paid, the
assistant postmaster tells us, that in.
quiry OF the postmaster here devel-
oped the fact that the contractor lived
In Ottorville, Mo.
This fact was communicated TO the
department and II. b. varnor came
down. remained here about ten days
and led the postmaster to believe
he had moved here. which was so re-
ported and things moved on smooth.
ly.
Some time ago, however, trouble
again arose among the drivers here
and some OF them even quit work, and
the postmaster had TO put on extra
teams to do the work. Special In
spector W. S. McGinnls from the de-
partment. was sent here and Assist
ant Postmaster Ed Sandlin says that
II has now developed that varnor was
not the contractor at all, but was hir-
ed by parties In Kansas City, who
were the real contractors, to do the
work assigned to him. The Kansas
City contractors not only took the
contract for running the star routes
out Of Ardmore, but also had numer-
ous contracts of similar nature in
Missouri.
The contracts for carrying the mails
on the star routes out of Ardmore has
been revoked by the government, and
bids are now asked for carrying these
mails for the next four years.
