100000 ardebs.
The figures for the new crop be-
ing marketed are based upon the es-
timated production of 100000, 900
pounds of cotton, which has been sem
iofficially verified. Seed merchants
here say that Notwithstanding the
larger amount Of seed on hand, the
probable consumption of local mills
will not be much greater than last
year, which was considered a record
year for cotton-seed.
The first sales of new seed brought
$40 the ardeb. The price on No
vember IL was $4.25 the ardeb, and
cotton-seed oil 500 per 100 pounds
Seed of the previous crop ranged from
1914 to Sc the weight and

Ex-sHERiFF GARRISON CASE.
Russell Defers Making Ruling Pend
ing Return Of Attorney General.

Judge s. II. Russell returned last
night from Tulsa and Oklahoma City
where he has been attending court.
At the latter place he went to pre-
side in the case of Harvey Garrison.
who is making a fight to be rein
stated as sheriff of Oklahoma coun
ty. The deposed sheriff alleges that
he was convicted on perjured tes-
timony. and was ousted from office
on the testimony of alleged joint
keepers and gamblers, whose evi-
dence in other ways and under diff
ferent circumstances, would proba-
blv not have carried much weight.
Garrison formerly lived here and
has many friends in Ardmore who
are watching the outcome of the
case.
In commenting on the case Judge
Russell said:
"lnasmuch as the attorney gen
eral had no notice of the proceed.
ings and the nature of the proceed
ings instituted by Mr. Garrison until
| informed him myself over the tel
ephone. and as he is compelled to
be absent in st. Paul on the rate
cases, | have concluded to give him
chance to be heard upon his r
turn. He will return about May 10,
and if he prefers to file a brief in the
matter shall consider il. II he
prefers to be present shall have
another day assigned that a full
hearing may be had.
ut being an important matter to
all parties concerned, am determin
/ ed to act advisedly upon the mo-
tions and affdavits presented. and
| H. my opinion the final hearing on
/ the motion to vacate the former

| cluded to pursue this course sc
