and inquired whether she had ever
seen the bear which the people had
at church, and about which they had

surprised, said she had never heard
OF it.
"Yes. mamma he replied, "they

Texan Likes Ardmore.

you call Texas people slow, but
We are not so slow that we cannot
see a good thing" said Ross Darden,
a brother to County Commissioner
Darden, this morning. Mr.. Darden
was accompanied here by Dr. c. Lee
Both of these gentlemen live al
Crowley, Texas, which is located
twelve miles from Fort Worth, and
they have learned that Ardmore is
the livest town on the map in the
great southwest country, and they
came here to make investments and
to share in the profit taking. DIR.
Lee is practicing physician and he
has about concluded that Ardmore
needs just such a doctor and he will
most probably decide to locate here.
These gentlemen will invest in coun-
ty lands and will probably buy city
property before leaving.
"Ardmore has everything in the
world it needs to make a city," said
Mr.. Darden. He spoke of the great
gas field, of the water system, of the
oil fields and of the pretty streets
that are bound to attract the eyes
of any visitor.

PLUMBING BUSINESS
HOFFMAN, AND WOOD, TWO
PRACTICAL MECHANICS, TAKE
CHARGE OF BUSINESS.

In these days of hustle and stir,
when new buildings are going up and
the architects offices are crowded
with plans for other buildings, it's
too much to try to conduct a tin
business and a plumbing business
together, and w. A. Pride has dis
posed of his plumbing business to
John W. Hoffmann and T. E. Wood.
Under the firm name of Hoffman, &
Wood the new plumbing concern has
leased the Scott building on Main
street, adjoining the Oil City Town
site company's offices, and are NOV
ing their stock in today. A portion
of the same building will be occu-
pied by C. G. Squires with his cleo
trical supply house, who vacated the
Postal building on North Washington
street. The Fraley Real Estate Com
pany will occupy the Postal building.
John Hoffman, is business man
who can make a success at any kind
of business, and T. e. Wood is
practical plumber who has been with
j. b. Spragins for many years. Mr..
Wood has been of the opinion some
time that he would embark into
business for himself and had all his
plans made to go to Ashdown, Ark,
but orders began coming in here so
fast and things looked so good to
him that he declined to accept the
Arkansas deal and will remain in
Ardmore.

INVESTIGATING OIL
AND GAS FIELD
ILLINOIS CAPITALISTS LOOKING
OVER THE LOCAL SITUATION
MAY INVEST.

George w. Head, Marcus Riley and
II B. Roth, all of Illinois, are here
looking into the oil field northwest OF
Ardmore. They read in the papers
the account of the new gas well, and
the shallow depth, and were immedi.
ately interested. They were out to
Oil City Sunday looking the situation
over, and although somewhat non.
committal, they expressed themselves
enough to disclose their belief that il
the log of the new gas well is correct,
this field is the most phenominal oil
and gas field on the continent. One
strata of oil ard three of gas in less
than 600 feet is a showing OF the best
poor mans field known. They say,
also, that all indications point to the
main pool being south and west of
the Santa Fe holdings. That the
southern end of the field Is at Henry
eta, Texas, and the northern end at
Wheeler. These gentlemen represent
large oil interests, and expect to To-
cate in Ardmore and develope the oil.

mo, ! am not seeking any newspa
per notoriety,' said a Kansas Ciuan
here this morning, and you will
please leave my name out of your pa
per- am here to see what you peo-
pie are doing and to determine in my
own opinion whether you have town
Of real live boosters or whether your
newspaper is the only booster. How
ever since coming in here | find that
your paper is but voicing the senti-
ments of your people, you have got a
good town and as fine a bunch of real
live town-builders as there is on the
map"
I'VE enjoy the compliments, but we
are looking for something more mate
rial in your coming, what can We do
for you?" was the question asked in
reply. 'In looking over the town." he
said, Il am convinced that the city
must broaden little more and there
is no reason why lower Broadway will
not make a prosperous section. If
make investments here, and I think
| will from some options l have in my
possession, I will make these invest
ments on Broadway and my company
will put up some buildings in that
section of the city that will be so in
viting as to attract many new business
concerns to your city. Your people
are sensible in this one thing, that
they are willing to sell at fair prices
and that has more to do with the fu-
ture growth of Ardmore than nearly
any other one thing. There is no use
to send out invitations to capital and
then discourage it by asking prohibi-
tive prices"
Conditions as they exist today bid
fair to result in the building Of new
business blocks on Broadway. Much
of this property has changed owner
ship in the last few days and other
deals are pending. The street paving
force is on this thoroughfare now and
the improvement in the appearance
will be remarkable. Broadway Is the
widest street in the city, it has every
convenience that other streets have
and there is no reason why it should
not attract business men that come
into the city.

CUTTING
AFFRAY YESTERDAY
w. J. CARTER WELL KNOWN PRO-
PRIEToR OF RESTAURANT SER.
IOUSLY STABBED BY BILL KYLE

A serious cutting affray took place
at the American restaurant on East
Main street last night, and as the re-
suit, w. j. Carter lies at his home in
a serious condition, and Bill Kyle, a
well known character about town, is
in the county Jail pending the result
Of Carter's injuries.
1t seems that Kyle went into Car
ter's restaurant and started disturb
ance while drinking. Mr.. Carter ask
ed him to desist, and tried to escort
him to the street, when Kyle drew his
knife and stabbed him. The knife was
inserted just over the kidneys and he
endeavored to bring the blade around
and would have succeeded had not
his arm been siezed by Carter. Dep
uty Sheriff Williams happened along
about this time and placed Kyle un-
der arrest and took him to the county
jail, while Carter was taken to his
homo and physicians summoned
Mr.. Carter Is resting easy this
morning, and the wounds, though seri-
Gus, are not considered dangerous, but
he will be confined to his bed for sev-
eral days.
Mr. Carter had a bunch OF advertis-
ing cards in his pocket, and the knife
cut them nearly in half, had 1t not
been for this fact, in all probability
Mr.. Carter would have received a ia
tai wound.
