.OEGENERATE SON
LECTuRED BY COURT
Scion of Good Family Arraigned
in District Court for
Horse-Stealing


Yours Is very unusual case
recall that in the early days, when
j first knew your father. he was act
i've in assisting the officers in pre-
venting just such crimes as the one
for which you have been convicted. I"
said Judge Huston to Lester Fox, in

horse and the jury fixed his term at
one year The court formally passed
sentence today. tl eR lllN goi99giI
The court said: @You come from a
good family, but the evidence shows
that you early developed the habit OF
going away from home without good
reason and that y9u did not let your
father and mother or sister know OF
your whereabouts. You dfiftea
around, and this Is the result"
Fox Is only about twenty-one years

tesian wells are strong, and the wa

There are in Guthrie plenty of ho-
tells for a starter. Several hundred
people can be housed in comfort now
and outside the hotels there are
many boarding houses, and there are
rooms that can be rented. There can
easily be provided residence for
families. Many people are anxious
to build houses If there are tenants
in sight.
Dir. Petty Is prepared to make a
statement from a scientific standpoint
He will give every known fact in con-
nection with mineral swaters that
can be of interest here.
In the case of Mineral Wells, Tex,
a town Of 5000 people has been built
in few years. There was nothing
to start with but water and hight

ROAD WAR
DATES BACK
15 YEARS
ANOTHER EFFORT BEING
MADE TO STRAIGHTEN
OUT TANGLE \

Efforts 10 straighten out a ROAD
war nearly as old as the county are
being made by County Surveyor
Reeves and Others. The base Oi
trouble is a three-quarters of miie
section of road proposed through
Wayne Jenkins farm, four miles
south of the City. The fight is a
three.cornered one, between Wayne
jenkins, Chas. McNulty and Guthrie
township, with the county as referee.
Fifteen years ago or more County
Surveyor White laid out a road in
section 29 For some reason it was
not opened and eventually jenkins
bought the farm through which most
of it was to run. The land became
valuable and Is now in alfalfa. A
few years ago, when attempts were
made to cut the road jenkins start
ed first-class war, and notified all
would be their portion. His attitude
was sustained by peculiar discoy-
cry.
1t was found that the surveyor bad
merely located line and had not
specified which side of that line was
to be used for the road. When the
viewers went TO stake out the sixty
feet for right OF way Jenkins put in
a demurrer, He said as long as the
road was on the Santa Fe right ot
way he had nothing to say, but thai
they could not trim his alfalfa held
The records were incomplete and
the officials were forced TO quit.
Recently Charles McNulty started
proceedings again Bnd the townshlp
started 10 open the road Surveyor
iReeves went out and located the
line and it is now left to the town
ship to fix the ground to be cpt.--
either on one side or both Thes OBJ
ject of he proposed road is to avoid
the building of several expensive
bridges over the Cottonwood and Q
railroad bridge or two which would
be necessary in followine the soc.
tion line.
The matter will probably go to the
courts and the project Is likely 10
be twenty-one years old before get'
tlement Is reached.

COMMISSION RETURNS
FROM INVESTIGATING TOUR
VIII Make Report on Famous
Mineral Wells, Texas and Hot
Springs, Ark, Resorts

In the building up of great re-
sort Guthrie start with the distinc-
ton OF having mineral water Of I'M
excelled value, with natural flow;
OF having already handsome and
substantial city, with plenty OF hotel
and residential accommodations; OF
a fertile farming country back of
everything; OF railroads and all 9TH
er modern facilities. There Is no
possible reason why this city can
no, become one OF the greatest health
and pleasure resorts in the world.
This will be the substance Of a re-
port to be made by carefully sell
ected commission sent out to ilVes-
tigate established health resorts, This
report. which is to be made in detail
from all stanGpoints, will be made 10

known Hot Springs. There were
thousands of details encountered in
the Investigations. inc three men

Their report will be OF great interest
TO the people.
In a general war he results of the
trip were given out in interviews by
Messrs. Petty, nocker and Golobie

the invaluable distinction OF being
a very considerable place to begin
with, whereas Hot Springs and Min
eral Wells were built ebltil1ely on
water They have absolutely no 9TH

Neither has a we---settled or produc-

too many railroads; there are no sol
