ABANDONED SCHOOL
CAUSE OF DISPUTE
Thomas Sues Trustee Ander-
son.

The case of Steve Thomas against L.
0. Anderson, trustee of New Garden
township, and New Garden township
was argued in the circuit court today
Thomas seeks to obtain possession of
plot of ground originally decided to
the township for school purposes, but
under a deed that provided the land
should be restored to the cusody of
the original owner If ever it was aban-
doned for school purposes. The school
house that was erected has been closed
and the school abandoned under the
section of the school law providing for
such action when the attendance is
twelve or less.
The attorney for Thomas contended
the premises are abandoned and can
never be used again for school pur-
poses. The school was abandoned be-
cause of lack of attendance and not
upon petition. The counsel for the de-
Tense maintained the school may be
reopened at some future time and is
not necessarily abandoned for school
purposes" simply because it is not in
use now.
superintendent Jordan of the county
schools does not believe the school
ever can be reestablished at that place.

OVERSTEPPED
Appraisers Acted as Board of
Arbitration in No. 9
School Matter.
NEW APPRAISERS ASKED.

Because the appraisers appointed in
the district No. 9 school house case
took it upon themselves to act as a
board of arbitration in the matter and
not strictly as a board of appraisers,
the attorney for Charles Potter has
moved to set aside their report, dis
miss the appraisers and appoint new
ones. The appraisers were Melville
Price, Walter S. Ratliff and Theodore
Martin. They fixed the value of an
acre plot of ground at 1850 and made
it provisional that Mrs. Anna Nor
mon, owner of the land, should retain
possession of the buildings. Township
Trustee Potter said today that after
ward the appraisers admitted they
had fixed the valuation at $500 more
than they thought the property worth.
Wilfred Jessup appeared as counsel
for Trustee Potter in the matter. He
stated to the court he believed the ap-
praisers had overstepped their author
ity. They were appointed solely for
the purpose of naming true value
of the property. They held interviews
with Mrs. Marmon, Trustee Potter and
Superintendent Jordan, and decided
upon the figure named as compro-
mise price. The stipulation in regard
to the buildings was additional.

TAKEN TO HO N {
Father Comes After Lad
Caught Rif|ing PennsY-
vania Trains.
LADS TRAVELS WIDE.

Upon the arrival of his father in the
city this morning, George McLogan's
name changed to Marvin Schwartz.
1t was me rely matter of circumstan-
ces that led to the change. Schwartz
is but sixteen years old and his home
is at Detroit, Mich. He came into
the city on blind baggage from Co
lumbus, Ohio yesterday afternoon. He
is a youngster who has been making
an extensive tour of the country since
May % and doing it all without
money. He was a runaway boy, but
fell into the clutches Of Patrolman
Hirchfield in the Pennsylvania yards
and then his doom was sealed. The
lad gave an assumed name but the
correct address of his parents at De-
troit. They were telegraphed to and
the father arrived this morning. This
afternoon father and son left for De
troit.
The police believe young Schwartz
is cured of his runaway habits. The
lad was highly pleased to see his faith
er and made faithful promise he would
not repeat. The boys father stated
the mother has suffered from ill
health ever since her son disappe ar
ed. Young Schwartz had been sent to
school regularly, given instruction on
the piano and every effort had been
made to make his home life pleasant
He is the only child. The youngster
says he was well reated at home and
the only reason he left was his desire
| to see some of the world
The boy has travelled hundreds of
miles, sleeping in empty cars, in luni-
Der yards or other places of conven-
fence. In the two months he has been
cumming" he had but fifteen cents
in money. He was treated we'll by
train crews. The boy says his route
took him across the lake from Detroit
to Chicago, then to Fort Wayne, Gle
veland, Syracuse, New York, Jersey
City, Oxford. Va, back to New York,
Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Altoona,
Pittsburg, Columbus and this city. He
never was arrested until upon his ar
rival here. Three weeks were spent
in Philadelphia.
During the itinerary of his jaupt, the
clothes he wore upon leaving home be.
came tatters. his shoes were worn
through and he accepted a discarded
pair of long trousers and an old coat
and cap. These so disguised his ap-
pearance his father scarcely recogniz-
ed him. The name George McLogan
which the boy adopted, is that of a

Held by Order.

The knights of Columbus held pic
mic yesterday at Jackson park and
they brought their wives, sisters,
sweethearts, prospective sweethearts,

things to eat were on hand to feed a
famished regiment. In the evening
there was a dance at the pavilion.
This was one of the biggest picnics
held at the park this year.

covering a distance of twenty-six
and one-third miles was won by Du-

There will possibly be a protest

ruLsAls EXPERIMENT

Tulsa has voted to adopt the com
mission form Of government.
This is the first experiment with
the Galveston plan in Oklahoma and
wiz be watched with interest.
While the commission system has
been employed with success in a num-
Der OF the larger cities, its adaptable
ity to the smaller municipalities re-
mains to be demonstrated.
It is also true that while the plan
has been employed with success under
the peculiar conditions prevailing in
Galveston after the great disaster, the
whole system is yet largely in the ex
perimental stage, the few years it has
been in operation in ether cities being
insufficient to determine its final mer
It.
The Galveston plan has met with
much favor In Oklahoma, where the
people are always ready for innova
tions. Many towns are contemplat
ing the adoption Of It, Even if Tulsa'i
experiment fails to yield satisfactor!
results, it will serve a valuable pur

GET TOGETHER

At a meeting of local real estate
men last week, the initial steps in
the organization of an association
were taken.
The movement is one Of importance
not only to the realty dealers but still
more to the community at large.
There is no class Of business men
among whom unity and cooperation
will yield more beneficial results. With
the opportunities opening before us
at this time the necessity for such or
ganization becomes all the more ap-
parent
When one real estate man knocks
another, he hurts not only his compet-
itor, but also the city as a whole
Knocking the other fellow doesn't add
to the profits in any line Of business
and It is especially true in the realty
lire. BY banding together, the rea
estate dealers ought to be able to put
the brakes on the lSnocker and alsc
cut off the operations of the genera
public who insist upon butting into the
business every time they give th'
dirt dealers a tip.
While such organization is desir
able from the viewpoint Of the deal
ers themselves it is still more neces
sary as a means Of promoting the gen
eral progress of the city and county
1t is to the real estate men that tn
investors and homeseekers first com
and if these men form "booste
club Of their own, they can accom-
pHsh inestimable good for the city

THE MIKADO
last NGAT
@Fa@ > apH0aS

About 750 people attended the pro-
ducuon Of The AIikado" last night
by the Boston Ideal Opera company
The cast was perfect, principals and
chorus alike, and those who missed it
ARE minus a musical treat that thoy
will no doubt wait a long time to get
again
The curtain rose last night on the
most beautiful stage setting ever seen
I'm this part Of the country and till
ia fell on the last scene it was beau
tiful.
The beautiful libretto, fine voices,
excellently drilled chorus, gorgeous
costumes, all made a production new
to be forgotten and one that very few
people will ever have chance to
see again at the prices that are pre-
vailing here
Miss Laura Moore, Miss Lillian
Shattuck as Yum-Yum and Katesha,
captiyated the audience and won en-
cores on every musical number Ray
field as the mikado, Mr. Walters as
Nan-ke-poo, w. H. Burgess as Poo
Bah, Robt. Burgess Of Pooh-Tush, all
added to their popularity, while F o,
Burgess as Ko-Ko, lord high execu-
toner, kept the audience in an ex-
tremely good humor.
Miss Fornay and Miss Susenberg as
the companions of Yum-Yum, the lit
tie maids from school, also deserve
mention. The chorus as a body de
serve special mention; they are all
good singers and undoubtedly the best
ever seen in Chickasha
Taken as a whole the Boston Ideal
Opera are worthy of the patronage
Of everyone. They would do credit
to any city in America. When one
stops to think that the company has
in its repertoire eighteen operas while
all the other opera companies have
only one opera to learn season, i
is the most expensive company eyel
brought to Chickasha and one would
have to travel far and wide to fine
their equal.
Tonight Fra Diavola' will be pre-
sented. 1t Is a standard comic operi
in three acts and in considered on
sented It is a standard comis operi
Of later days. The Kansas City ant
Atchison papers say Of Fra Diavola
ITO have seen the comedian Burgess
last night was a sure cure for tn
blues, anyone who says the Bostol
laugh well they have no right t
laugh. It is funny, beautifully stage
and costumed, and put on in thei
usual extravagant manner"
