THREE ATTEMPTS
AT BURGLARIES
OF PRIVATE RESIDENCES sATuR-
DAY NIGHT.
Neither Attempt Proved Successful.
VIM. Virgins Residence on West
Main and Or. 2. J. Ramsey's

For the first time in several months
burglaries were attempted in this
city and late Saturday night and
early Sunday morning several at
tempts to burglarize houses were
made, neither OF which were sue
cessful.
Both the residences of William
Virgins on West Main street and
f. J. Ramsey on b street northwest.
were made the objects of the attack
of tho would-he marauder.
The first attempt was made at the
residence OF Mr.. Ramsey. Mrs.
Ramsey was at home in company with
Friend when the night prowler en-
deavored to make his entrance auu
was scared away, although Mr.. RAM
sey was down town at his place Of
business.
About midnight the same night an
other attempt at burglary was made
at the residence of VIM. Virgins, 7l2
er in the night, at about o'clock Sun
day morning, ;he burglar paid anoth-
er visit to the home OF Mr. Virgins,
and was again scared off by the la
dies in the house and again early In
the morning, about 4 O'Clock, when
Mr.. Virgins had returned home from
trip on the road, another attempt
was made. which was frustra ed by
the firing of several shots at the
intruder by Mr.. Virgins.
The police We're notified of eacn
attempt that was made, but have as
yet not been able to find any trace
of the would he burglar. 1t was
thought by the department that since
the inauguration of the war on vag'
in this city by the police department
that the city was cleared of all dis
reputable characters, but 1t seems
that n few still remain to give th'
force trouble.

son" If he had any cartridges, and
being told that he did, asked for one.
which was given him and placed 1t
in the gun. The Gaines boy states
that at this time he turned Is head
as ho thought he heard someone com
ing out of the house, and AS he did
so the gun was discharged while in

ARDMORE'S FAME.
Extcnd Far Into the Eastern states
on Account Of Her Asphalt and
oi'-Many Inquiries Re-
ceived.

After a trip over ten states whore
he spent considerable time on bust
ness Col u B. Lester. heavy stock
holder In the Downard Lester Rock
Asphalt Company, which company rs
supplying the asphalt for the paving
'now in progress in this city. return
ed home Saturday
Mr.. Lester was agrccably surpris-
ed at the progress the city was max.
ing in getting her streets paved and
spoke in terms of pleasure at the
nearncss to completion part Of the
paving had reached.
Il heard many remarks and LQuir-
les concerning Ardmorc said Mr.
Lester. and in almost every state |
travorscd there was mothcd inter
est in the new state OF Oklahoma and
an inclination among the farmers and
investors to come to this country.
q found that Ardmore g. advertised
more extensively than one would
imagine. The asphalt business
Of this. section coupled with the fact
that my company has been shipping
asphalt to the east, and also doing
considerable advertising Of that in
dustry has helped advertise Ardmoro,
while the oil and gas wells west Of
here has gained fame in the east
The colonel fcrther said that it was
his sincere opinion that the gas fields
west of Ardmore would be the max
ing of this town and in four years
would double the population o. the
city
Mr.. Lester looks forward to the
time when the companics which at
presci-t have control of the gas field
near here, will throw the fields open
to public develSpment. Th n manu-
facturics and fouudries will come, for
Ardmorc can then f. mlsh fuel at a
rate no city in the southwest can
compete. Just at present these fields
are kept quiet and the big strikes OF
oil and gas are not given to the pub
lie This state of affairs cannot last
and the fields are soon to gain tn,
recognition which will make Ardmo:,
metropolis.

AFTER CANS AND NELSON.
Nevada Fight Promoter Posts S10,0Ol
as Part of Big Purse.

Chicago, Mar. 12.-John S. Cook &
Co.. bankers at Goldfield, New, wired
the sporting editor of a local paper
saying that Tex Richard, the western
promoter, deposited with them 10000,
the same to go as forfeit to bind
the Ely, New, fight club and as part of
the 100000 purse offered for fight
between Battling Nelson and Joe Cans,
the battle to take place at Ely, New.
on July 4.
This deposit, while it does not tie up
the money in any way should the
match fall through will stand as 4
forfeit to insure the carrying out of
the projected battle, and it is extreme
ly likely that the match will be clinch-
ed in the near future.
The main difficulty will be the ar
rangement of terms. Cans, who SUI
fered by the conditions imposed by
Nelson when the pair last met at Gold
field, is determined to demand the big
end of the purse, win, lose or draw.
From the east Nelson advises that he
will not accept any but IS and 25
division of the purse, winner to take
the long end.

"REMINISCENCES Of THE LAUNCHING
0FttsTEAMSH|P "DAK0TA' IN 1907
Sinking of the Beautiful and Powerful Vessel Brings the Mat
ter Up Again-Boat Was One of Largest the Oceans
of the World.

While that leviathan OF the deep,
the steamship Dakota. lies on the
rocks struggling against the force of
the mighty seas which are beating out
her life. it is interesting as matter
of contrast, as we'll as history, to re-
call the enthusiasm and glory which
attended her consignment to the
treacherous arms of the deep but a
little over three years ago.
The launching of the Dakota, which
occurred on Feb. 6. 1904. marked an
epoch in shipbuilding, for, with her
sister ship, the Minnesota, she divided
the honor of being the queen of the
oceans, the largest vessel ever built.
AS was fitting so important an event,
it aroused no little interest and was
graced with considerable ceremony. At
the invitation of President Hill of the
Great Northern, who controls the COM
pany owning the ocean monster, a
large party of prominent northwestern
people went east on a special train to
witness the launching, which occurred
at Groton, near New London, Conn.
The party of North Dakotans in
cluded Governor Sarles, Editor George
B. Winship of Grand Forks. John
Knauf of jamestown, w. R. Kellogg of
jamestown, Mai. Joseph Hair of Bis
marck, Lee Pettibone of Dawson, Sen
ator Young Of Valley City, C. S. Dies
EN- Of LaMoure, B. Folsom, ]. C..
Hunter and H. c. Plumley of Fargo,
and number of others. Miss Mary
Bell Pennington of Glendale, who was
then a student at the state university,
had been chosen to christen the vessel
and she accompanied the party.
Preceding to Minneapolis the North
Dakotans were there Joined by num-
Der OF twin city people among them
President and Mrs. Cushing of the St.
Paul chamber of commerce, and Sec
rotary Beardsley of the same organ
ization who did much towards making
the trip success. Cal Stone, who was
then assistant general passenger agent
Of the Great Northern, conducted the
party. Two sleepers and diner were
provided for the accommodation of the
guests and the trip east proved very
pleasant one. On reaching New York
the party was enlarged by the addition
of number of prominent fasteners,
and special train consisting of five
parlor cars, four stateroom cars and
one buffet car took the entire contin-
gent to New London.
The launching was most success
full affair, going off without hitch,
and Miss Pennington broke the bottle
of champagne and named the ship just
as 1t began to slide easily and grace
fully into the water.
Following the launching, the north
