COL. SUCCS
TALKS OF
HIS WORK

Col Sidney Suggs, editor OF the
Ardmorite and state highway inspec-
tor for Oklahoma( was pleasant call
er at this office today being in the
city a few hours on his way to Dun
can. Col Suggs is real good roads
booster. He has been on the east side
this week where he had three good
meetings at Claremore, Tulsa and
Pawnee. at these places county or
ganizations were formed and the work
Of constructing better roads was for
mally started.
Col. Suggs says there are only $4,000
miles Of Travelled roads in Oklahoma
at this time when there shiDuld be 75.-
600 miles. He thinks the best way to
get all the roads opened up and put
in good shape is to organize a good
roads club in each Of the 100 town
ships Of the state. The jolly big man
from Ardmore reports much progress
in the building of roads in Oklahoma
and says the only handicap is the lack
Of funds. He is replenishing the good
roads fund pretty lively by going to
various counties OF the state and dig
ging up all fined and forfeltures paid
the state during the three years the
BIllups law was in effect and collected
from the yiolators Of ihat law and
turning over the amount to the good
road fund.
He says he will come TO Chickasha
anytime the people here want him to
assist in the formation Of a county
good roads organization. The colonel
says he has many good things he
might tell Grady county road builders
and the best Of It is his advice. like
salvation is free.

SENSATION FOR
TREASURER

you awoke and hollow hear a coarse.
siren voice in a commanding tone say
~Hush up?" This is the unpleasant
experience Of County Treasurer w. T,
Cloud, who encountered a man in his
room, or nearly in the room last night.
Mr.. Cloud and his little son were
sleeping neaI window on the ground
floor. About O'Clock this morning
he was awakened by some one taking
hold of him in a strange rough way.
He turned quickly and uttered sound
and the man ordered him to hush UP. 4"
Becoming aroused Mr.. Cloud called
to his son, who was by this time
awake to hand him his gun. This
frightened the man and he suddenly
turned and ran away. Mr.. Cloud
watched him as he made his get away.
1t was too dark for him to identity
the man although he could see him
reasonably well. He described the
man as being heavy set, medium height
and fairly well dressed. He carried
his coat on his arm as he ran away.
In his rush to get away the man
stumbled and fell but quickly got
back on his feet and continued his
flight.
Mr.. Cloud is at a loss to know who
the man is and what he wanted.
