FARMER DISAPPEARS
His Wife Believes He Has Met With
Foul Play.

Lawton, Okla, April 81. NJ.
Davis, a farmer living upon the Cash
fye-acre tract on the Woodhouse sd
dition, disappeared very my'teriously
Saturday afternoon. He had come Ia
Lawton in company with his fifteen
year-old-boy to peddle some onions.
About ! O'Clock he left his son, tell
ing him TO drive the team around IN
the alley back of a grocery store, and
that he would soon be there To load
up the groceries. After the boy had
waited several hours. he became
alarmed and drove home, and notified
his mother, They came 10 Lawton
that evening and explained the ease
to the police. a search was insti-
mted by the police. mother and son.
At eleven O'Clock the Davis family
departed for home, but bright and
early Sunday morning they were
back TO Lawton. No clue has been
found to the disappearance Of Mr..
Davis.
Mrs. Davis states hat there was no
family trouble and that she vas al
ways treated as well as she could be
by her husband, therefore she is of
the opinion that her husband has met
with foul play. She stated that Mr.,
Davis had between $3.50 and s4,O0
on his person when he disappeared.

TurIey, |. +.

The new townsite of Turley, locat-
ed on the Midland Valley, located on
the Midland Valley railroad, six miles
north of Tulsa, and six miles west of
Owasso, is a legal entity incorporated
under the laws Of the Indian Terri
tory with Hulette f. Ably, president
Alfred Dryer, vice president, and
Manuel Hirsh, treasurer.
It's geographical location makes it
a distributing point for a large scope
of country in the Usage nation, and
the first shipping outlet for the Bird
Creek Valley, famed as the greatest
corn producing belt in the Indian Ter
ritory. Supplement these natural adj
vantages with large-producing oil and
gas wells and conditions are created
which youchsafe importance to Turley
as a trade center, and its high and dry
location and excellent drainage, make
it a most desirable place for residence.
The TOWNSHIP comprises a portion Of
Section l., Township 20 n, Range II
f., to which a perfect title has been
secured, thereby enabling the company
to make warranty deeds to prospective
purchasers. The streets and avenues
of the city are 60 feet wide, graded
and ditched, and lots 25xl4O feet.
Location and existing conditions Of
fer inducements to those who contem-
plate ~embarking in mercantile, agri-
cultural and oil mining pursuits. Dew
elopment of the country along agri-
cultural lines is sure to rebound to the
betterment of Turley in population
and Importance.
Ample shipping facilities are now
provided by the Midland Valley r. R.
Co. Existing facilities will be en-
larged to meet any requirement, so
no fear need be apprehended on that
score.
The admirable location of Turley
and its close proximity to resources of
wealth and trade are factors of con-
sideration which plead forcibly
to the investor than lurid p~anegyric
or fulsome praise. An inspection of
the townsite and an acquaintance with
surrounding conditions will convince
the average man that his investment
would be safe, even if no further de-
velopment of the country should take
place. Its accessibility to a large and
fertile territory, now void of trading
and shipping facilities, is an irrefu-
table plea in behalf Of the necessity
of its existence. No elaboration of
causes is required to establish the ne
cessity for its incorporation and the
convenience it will afford a large see
ton of country, hampered and retard-
ed under present conditions.
The public is invited to call and ex-
anime the plan of the new townsite on
exhibition in the Office of Turley I'm
provement company, second floor of
the National Supply company's build
ing, opposite the Brady hotel. The of
ticers of the company will take plea
sure in affording callers more minute
information than can be impaired in
a newspaper article. The townsite is
surrounded by natural and developed
resources sufficient to support and
maintain a population of 1000 souls
and it is believed this population will
be attained within a very short period
of time, as the company has located
some very important industries at the
new town. and have sold quite a few
residence lots.

In this island there are estimated to

among the poorer classes a mans

In which the two thousand five hun

containing only ten trees, was the sub

days afterward he was captured and.

LET THE LEGISLATURE TAKE
ACTION.

The question OF the regulation i
the rates of freight and fares on the
various railroads passing through this
state will be presented to the coming
Legislature this winter. The Old
chestnut that the railroad authcr-
tiles through their agents, at the ses-
sens OF The Legislature. nave cracked
so often, viz, that the Legislature
could not pass laws regulating the
rates CT fares and Ireights Oh inter
state roads has ceased to give forth
any meat. PENNSYLVANIA. Illinois, IN
diana, Ohio and many other states
have passed laws governing these
charges and the railroads running
through these states are compelled to
obey. Interstate or no interstate.
The members OF the Legislature
should be careful and see that they
are not led into any traps by the
agents of these corporations, who will
affably and blandly tender the privi-
lege OF a free ride TO San Francisco
Or Los Angeles and return The
pleasure is not worth the price re-
CURED by the agent, SO let his offer
be declined with thanks.
The Incoming Legislature is divided
so evenly as regards parties that the
aforesaid agent cannot claim any
prestige or consideration on this
score.
His first effort will be made to con-
troll the orsa Aization in both Houses.
