daylight robbery today This noon

the building through the rear door,
and rifled the cash drawer of about

office had the foresight to draw the
curtain of the front window. and then

cess to another drawer but the burg
lar was evidently frightened away be-
fore he was able to accomplish his
end. Mr.. A. c. Reichelderfer, the

an officer tracked the party from the
rear OF the building to Main street,
and stated from the appearance OF

FARMERS QUIT BRooM-coRN.
viii Raise Cotton for Which There Is
Reader Market.

Fairvlew, Okla, Oct. 1.-THE farm
ers of Major county are seriously con-
sidering the matter of turning their
attention to the raising OF cotton next
season instead of broom corn, and
many are now interesting themselves
in the repairing and operating of the
cotton gin at Fairvlew. There is a
considerable brush Of good quality In
the county, bales are ready for market
and they are not only trying to find
local buyers, but have written to out
side parties who have heretofore
bought through this country but have
been unable to get any satisfaction
from any source and can find no sale
for their product at any price. They
believe that the big concerns are not
dealing fairly with them in the matter
and as there Is always a market at
some price for cotton, they will grow
the crop which they believe to be the
hardest for the speculator 10 control.
This was the result OF the discussion
OF these questions at a meeting held
this week, and It seems there will be
very light acreage of broom-corn
planted in this county next year
