PLAN TO REOPEN
BANK At SAPULPA
Will Make Vigorous Effort to Recover
100000 Used BY Banking Board
to Pay Depositors.

Sapulpa, Okla, Nov. 22.-That the
case of the closing of the old Creek
Bank and Trust company of Sapulpa
by the Oklahoma state banking board
last spring, is to be reopened and push
ed to a vigorous climax in order to re-
cover at least part of the 100000 useG
by the state banking board in paying
depositors of the institution, was made
known here yesterday, when warrants
ere isswutd at the instigation OF the
banking board, charging Frank S.
Westfall, formerly cashier, jointly With
embezzlement and receiving deposits
after the bank was insolyent.
Assistant Bank Examiner |. F. Crow
of Tulsa is pushing the case, and will
go to Oklahoma City tomorrow to pro-
cure acquisitions for the return of the
two men to Sapulpa for trial. Botn
men are now under arrest, it is said,
at Phoenix, Ariz Their arrest is said
to have followed the closing Of their
bank in that city by the banking board
of Arizona.
About ten days ago the Oklahoma
banking board filed suit in Phoenix
Ariz., against the two men for the col
lection of notes amounting to $4,000
the result of the closing of the old
Creek Bank and Trust company. When
the news of the suits being filed be
came known in Phoenix a run was
started on the Phoenix bank, which re
suited in the Arizona banking depart
ment taking charge. An investigation
followed, which is said to have shown
that the accounts of the bank were
short $S,75O This led to the actor
of the state.
Following the closing of the Sapulpf
bank last spring, the two bankers we're
arrested on a charge of embezzling the
funds of the bank After having beer
released on bond, they went to Arl
zona and opened a new bank. JOIN
Westfall, at that time, was suffering
with consumption.
Last September, Frank Westfall re
turned to Sapulpa and was tried anC
acquitted on the old charge, which was
presented by the old state banking
board. Since then the new banking
board has reopened the case and in
tends to prosecute it vigorously.

Eugene Walters Best Story.

Eugene Walter, the successful young
playwright, euthor of "The Wolf" and
Paid in Full" said at recent dinner
in his honor in New York:
"The playwright to succeed must
make his point invariably. Every point
by fair means or foul, must be captur.
ed. Not loophole for failure to creep
in must be left"
Mr. Walter smiled.
''In fact" said he, 'the playwright
must be as sure of his point as the
young lady who took advantage of the
recent Leap Year to propose.

DEATH OF MRS. JIM NEAL.

AS the sun was sinking beyond
the western skies, and the
shadows were gathering Ger the
valleys. bespeaking the night of
death that will ere long close over
us all, the death angel visited the
home Of Mr.. Jim Neal and took
from him his loving wife. and
waited her away to the far be-
yond, one of it's rarest flowers
and richest gems, leaving broken
hearts and a pail of gloom where
glad hearts and bright rays of
hope and happiness reigned a
few hours before.
She is gone, but she passed
peacefully to rest from troubles,
trials, disappointments and sor-
row that are strewn along the
pathway of this life Of pain and
death.
Tongue cannot express the
grief of the husband and chill
dren who realize the departure
of their loved one.
We are given this short life to
prepare for that home over there,
where loved ones are awaiting
our coming and where we shall
all be gatherd home. IT'S a
sweet, solemn thought to think
that the time will soon come
when we can lay aside the bur-
dens and hardships of life in this
unfriendly world and go to that
upper and brighter kingdom
where we will dwell in peace and
joy forever. But it fills our
hearts with sorrow when one so
pure, true and kind, is taken
from our midst.
She died at her home on Thurs
day evening, at 8 O'Clock. She
leaves a husband, six children,
many relatives and friends to
mourn her death.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the Sweet Home ceme-
terry, on Friday afternoon at 3
o'clock.
IA precious one from you is gone,
That never can be filled.
A place is vacant in your home.
A voice you loved is still.
Thanks for all the joy she gave us
While she tarried with us here.
Thanks that mid the heavenly chorus
Rings her voice so sweet and clear.
"Be patient, kind and loving friends,
Though thy loss may seem so hard,
She left you with smiling face.
So grieve not in her regard"

He has watched so kindly and
tenderly over his dear wife for
she has been a great sufferer for
many years. She will be missed
so much in her home. She spent

character. She was a faithful

Conventions and public gather

things of this kind are also very

are also valuable in stimulating

BE booster for your home
town! If you have nothing to
boost but a store and a postoffice
be a booster just the same. If
you let people know of the great
opportunities your town offers,
they will sit up and take notice
and finally see that you are
right. There is no town, how
ever small, but has some advan-
tages. No town but what would
be good location for a factory
or a mill of some kind. Look at
the natural advantages of your
town. Think how they could be
utilized successfully, Agitate
paved streets, factories,
good public institutions, a city
park and the things that make a
town look like it was wide
awake. These are the things
that make town look good to
stranger. And when a town
looks good to a stranger YOU
may rest assured that your
boosting has been effectual.
