to Logan county.
C. V. Hickam was formerly prominent
young farmer of the Orlando neighbor-
hood. Recently ii is stated he sold his
farm and all personal property and left
for parts unknown. He had, ii is be-
Heved, a total Of about s3, 0co with him.
The charge Of embezzlement comes in
for the reason that it is claimed that
among the property sold was a team
of horses, the property of his wife;
under the law, the husband is the wife's
agent in matters of this kind. therefore
his departure with her money consti-
tutes embezzlement

engaged in an unwilling marriage with
a prominent young woman of that
neighborhood, and that the two have
since resided together. Recently, how
ever. he decided to leave and it is stated
that he abandoned her. leaving her pen

versy on the streets of that city says:
Saturday night Mayor Turner and Col.

minutes a merry war was on.
The trouble arose over two indictments
which were brought against DR.. Turner
by the grand jury, and one of them is
said to have been the result of testimony
given by Col. Hawkins, in which he
claims that DR.. Turner bought his vote
and influence by promising to make
Hawkins assistant chief of police.
When the two men met some words
were passed between them and it finally
resulted in blows. Turner hit Hawkins
in the face and Hawkins, it is said
started to draw his gun. but Z. L. Rus
sell of the Democrat saw his move and
struck his arm so that the rebolver fell
upon the sidewalk
Russell and Hawkins then went at it,
Mr.. Russell getting the best of it and
forcing Mr. Hawins to seek refuge in
candy store a few feet away. Hawkins
nut in each hand threatened Mr.. Russell
If he attempted to come in.

uty constable and had a right to carry
a gun. He was released and left town

Greiner, has made a sale of 1000 barrels
Of our crude oil to FL Reno and eastern
people. and active operations have been
commenced on the Mat Armstrong place.
The old Suppe wells. which yield from
ten to thirty barrels per day, and the
new wells in the same tract. will be
pumped to their fullest capacity.
w. Redder has charge OF the operations
and new pumping machinery has been
Installed. The officers OF the oil COM
pany and oil men here are highly pleased
with the outlook. and state that they
anticipate no difficulty in delivering oil
at the rate of 80 barrels per day In
fact. one well while only l65 feet deep,
yielded at the rate of thIrty-two barrels
per twenty-four hours.
The quality of the oil is we'll known

SUGGESTS
OUTLINE
DISPLAY
Oklahoma Will Do Herself
Proud at Fair.
MAKE GOOD AT ST. LOUIS
Very important That Exhibit
Should be Good.

Guthrie, o. T., May 1.-Although the
board of agriculture was disappointed by
the failure of the legislature to provide
for the collection of data by assessors for
statistical report. there will be some
thing doing in the Office of the board
just the same Besides attending TO the
correspondence and matters incident to
the duties of his office. Secretary Tho
burn will devote great deal of time
during the present season to active CO.
operation with the Oklahoma Worlds
Fair commission. At the request of the
commission he recently prepared a brief
outline Of suggested plans and at meet
ing of the members of the commission,
held a day or two prior to their departure
for st. Louis. it was considered and ap-
proved. The commission will hold another
meeting at an early date and Secretary
Thoburn has been asked TO attend and
explain his suggestions more in detail.
Agriculture and horticulture must nee
essarily form the greater part of Okla
homa's display at the Worlds Fair next
year, since these include her most i'm
portant resources and products. 1t is
very important, therefore. that a good
showing be made in these lines and it is
fortunate that the commission can have
the aid and support of the board of agri-
culture in preparing the exhibit. Each
member of the board of agriculture has
a personal interest in the matter as each
has been named as one of the honorary
members of the commission by the gov
ernor.
The board of agriculture certainly has
an opportunity to demonstrate it's use
fulness to the people of the territory in
this instance. The members of the
Worlds Fair commission have worked
hard to arouse popular interest in the
great exposition and the wisdom and ex-
pediency of Oklahoma putting forth every
effort to be properly represented by a
display that will tell to the OUTSIDE world
more than 1t now knows Of "the next
star in the flag and the people who
have built up the youngest and best COM
monwealth in the Union.
