The police force have started a
campaign % rid the city of the co
caine fiends who have been such A
source of annoyance here for the
past few months. and the result is
that two of them are in the city
prison and another in the county
Jail and others have departed for
Sreener fields. These poor unfortu-
mates are source Of greath annoy
ance, as they have a habit of appro-
priating to their own use anything
that is not nailed or fastened to the
earth, and are not particular as to
what they gel. anything from an
empty tin can 10 a box car, and il
they are convicted they have no
money with which to pay their fines,
and are not physically able TO work
on the streets, and the question Of
handling them is quite problem
After keeping one in prison for few
hours away from the dope they will
make any promise to be released, and
il is expected that in this manner
they will probably agree TO leave the
city and will do so.

DAN, THE NOBLE RED MAN. HAS
ENMESHED HIMSELF IN CUPID'S
STRINGS.

Another complaint against Elm
Bacon, a Mississippi Choctaw, was
made at the sheriff's office today,
and it is probable that a br9ach of
promise suit will be instituted agains,
Daniel. lie is accused of having
wooed and won the love of a pale
face lady. She says that he prom
ised 10 marry her as soon as the
crops were finished. but that when
the time arrived for them TO be
married and she mentioned the mat.
ter to him he told her to 90 to a
warmer climate. 1t is said that Dan
iel denies this most emphatically, and
said that he told her that his love for
her was dead and that he expected
to wed another But the lady of his
first love stated to the officers that
she expected to give Daniel run for
his money, and that if he didn't
watch that she would pr4ent his
marrying the other woman.

EIGHT HOUR LAW
WITH POLICE FORCE
POLICE OFFICERS WILL IN ALL
PROBABILITY FILE SEVERAL
SUITS AGAINST CITY.

After statehood at the Tlrst meet
! ing OF the legislature among the laws
that were enacted was the one max
ing eight hours a working day. This
applied to all kinds of work with few
exceptions, and +. was generally cb-
served. among some who disregardcJ
the law We're a number of towns
throughout the state who worked the
city employees ten aud twalve hours
per day Recently former members Of
the police force in Tulsa who had
worked twelve hours per uay filed
suit against the city for the extra
four hours per day and were given
Judgment against the city. Since the
suit against that city was decided in
favor OF the former empoyes some of
the former members of the police
force here state that they expect TO
file suit against the city for the extra
four hours per day One member who
was employed on the force from state
hood until May of this year stated
that the result of the Tulsa cases
would be watched through the su-
prema court and if decided in favor
Of the policemen there that he
would at once file suit against the
city of Ardmorc 4 number of the
police here worked from statehood
until May and the amount of time
they worked extra counted at the reg
ular wages of sixty dollars per month
would amount to about fifteen hun
dred dollars to each man, and eight
or ten judgments like this against
the city would be quite an item.
Oklahoma City, Muskogee and Nc.
Alester are said to be about the only
cities that have worked the eight hour
day, and as the result of this case is
being watched by former officers all
over the state. its being decided in
their favor will mean suits by the
score filed against the various cities
of the state who did not observe the
eight hour law.
The former officer here who is re
sensible for this statement, states
that one of the best known attorneys
of this city stated that in his opin-
ion the final outcome OF the case
would result in a verdict in favor Of
the former officers. If this should
be the case it will mean that practi-
cally all the cities in the state will
have to employ more men and work
them the legal hours.

MAYOR DAWSON
ON BOND ISSUE
SAYS TOWN MUST HAVE WATER
AND ONLY AVAILABLE HOPE IS
FROM DEEP WELLS.

We will probably hold meeting
soon, said Mayor Dawson THE morn
ing. at which time a general Discus
sion of the bond issue will bee held.
Personally. said the mayor, cit Will
make but little difference to me how
the people vote but as an official Of
Ardmore elected to look after the
general welfare of the city, feel that
| owe it 70 the people to inform them
O' the true situation of their city and
place the responsibility directly up
on the people. know that artesian
wells are a source of trouble, but
also know that there is no othor rev
enue open to the people under the
present financial condition of the city
TO augment their water supply ! do
not believe that the well situation viii
be as troublesome to Ardmore as il is
10 other cities for the reason that in
normal times We will have no use for
them, but in emergencies like the one
be used and they will come in very
nicely. Some of the members of the
board of commissioners. ( understand,
would vote to cut the water supply
off entirely and keep what W have
for fire protection. | would not IA
vor such action as we have many peo-
pie who are dependent solely upon
city water and our town under such
conditions would be without sanitary
sewers. I hope the board Will not
resort TO such action but the matter
is up to them. These are such times
as have never been known TO exist
here before. ! feel that it is a pa-
triOtic duty every citizen owes his
town to aid in getting the people
through the hazardous times and to
work with a hope that such condi-
ton will not overtake us again. !
believe that when the people see the
conditions that they are up against
that they will vote for artesian wa
ter and the peorle may trust this ad-
ministration not to use more of the
money than will absolutely have to be
spent"
There is some criticism of the
amount of bonds asked for, the sole
reason why the amount is $4,000 is
because Of the uncertainties connect
ed with the supply of water to be
found. No one knows what amount
OF water the water sand below MS is
capable of producing nor how long
the supply will continue. No one
knows how many wells will have to
be bored TO obtain a sufficient supply.
No one knows how many dry holes
will be drilled. and they cost Just the
same as those which produce water
barring the pipe casing. These and
many other uncertain things enter in
to this proposition and one mans .
opinion is as good as another when it
comes to speculation. We must have
water for the people of this city and .
for fire protection"
