GAMBLING CHECKED

Violators of the Law Put in Jail

Gaming.

To-day there are not five towns in
Oklahoma of any importance where
gambling is conducted openly, as 1t
was six years ago. AS late as three
years ago the biggest games ever seen
in the territory were running in Okla.

terest. He said:
In my town in earlier years, when
gambling was under full Roadway. the
producers were mostly farmers.
These farmers were western men who
had been with the vanguard of west
ern sentiment all their lives. They
had no more hesitancy in gambling
than they had in smoking a cigar or
taking a drink of whisky. They had
been accustomed to it all their lives.
When one came to town with load
of wheat he put the money in his
pocket, took his team 10 a livery
stable and went to a restaurant or
hotel. Usually he would stay in town
all night. After supper he would take
few drinks and then saunter around
to a gambling house, always within
easy reach and without danger of
raids. In many instances he went
home broke.
The agricultural prosperity in okla.
homa in the last ten years brought a
great advance in the value Of farm
property. Farmers from eastern and
northern states began coming to Okla
homa with bank accounts. The orig
inal settler was offered $4,000, $4,000
and sometimes as high as $4,000 for
his quarter section of land, which TO
him seemed more than the land was
worth, and he sold 1t and moved TO
other localities. The new owners had
practiced economy all their lives.
They had lived in communities where
gambling was not tolerated.
When these farmers come to town
they bring produce with their wheat
or corn, and a basket of lunch 10 save
going to a restaurant. They deposit
their money in a bank. Instead OF
taking their horses TO livery stable,
unl.ss the weather is bad, they feed
them from a wagon box. This kind of
thing is not profitable for the gam
bling business, but IL has happened in
my portion of the territory and | be-
lieve that it has happened elsewhere. p"

Forgeries in Land Frauds.

a notary public and real estate dealer
of Quincy H., gave the most interest

land fraud cases. Mann, who is an
old soldier, filed on a claim and pro-
cured declaratory statements from
half a dozen other soldiers at the re-
quest of Ami B. Todd one of the de-
PENDANTS. Mann asserted that in tho
statements sworn to before him the
name of F. M. Walcot, Cherry county,
Nebraska, was originally entered as
agent for the soldiers making the III
ings. After they left his hands the
name of Walcott was erased and that
of r. C. Noleman, Box Butte county,
Nebraska, was substituted in some

others. The witness said he knew

Increase of the Navy.
Secretary Bonaparte deems 1t hts
duty to report that circumstances
have SO far changed as to make pro-
vision for a moderate increase In the
effective fighting strength OF our
navy the part of patriotic foresight
at present. He recommends, there
fore. that, as soon as may be prac-
ticable at this session, the congress
authorize the construction OF sister
shin to the one already authorized
and or which the plans are now sub
mitted: so that, by simply dupllcat-
ing these plans and the further de-
tailed specifications and drawings by
which they are to be supplemented,
we can have two vessels OF this class
completed within the time when
would otherwise be needed for the
construction of only one.
