REGULAR MEETING
CITY COMMISSION
VOTETo RE-CoDlFY THE LAWS
OF THE CITY AND APPROVE
BOND OF NEW POLICE CHIEF.

At the meeting of the commits
sioners of the city last night, res
olution was passed authorizing and
directing the city attorney to cOdify
the laws of Ardmore. The laws
have not been codified since 1902,
and were then condified by Mr.
Mathers. Since then the state law
has been wholly changed owing to
the advent of statehood and most
of the city ordinances have been
revised or repealed and new laws
passed in their place.
At the present it is almost i'm
possible to ascertain what the law
is pertaining to the state, owing to
the conflict in same and it will
be quite a relief to the attorneys
and litigants to have these laws
compiled.
The council was in session but a
few moments, the only business
transacted aside from the above
was to approve the bond of Chief
of Police Redmon, and releasing
the sureties on the bond of Jake
Williams, who resigned as police
man to accept the position of jailer
under Sheriff Buck Garrett.
Considerable discussion was arous-
ed over the last ordinance passed
by the city commissioners relative
to the holding of boxing contests
within the city limits. Commission.
er Owen stated that it was never
the intention to prohibit limited
round boxing contests when the
ordinance was drafted, and the ath-
letic club would not be molested
SO long as they observed the state
law in this matter. With the re-
codification of the laws of the city
this ordinance will be changed to
conform to that idea.

A MARRYING JUDGE.
Judge Winfrey Gets Busy Right at
Start-TWo Weddings.

Start-IWo Weddings.
The first official act of Judge Win
frey yesterday was to unite two low
ing hearts. Now the judge had been
in office less than an hour and was
trifle nervous, but he passed
through the ordeal all right and the
lovers were so absorbed in each 9th.
er that they never noticed the EN-.
barrassment of his honor" He had
scarcely taken a long breath after
the first ceremony before a couple
from Jenerson county came in and
wanted "a pair o. license" They got
them and then wanted the ceremony
performed at once. This was coming
little rapid for the judge but he
was game and in a few moments
there was another couple ready to go
10 keeping house. The Judge says
that if this record keeps up he will
have married more people by the end
of his term than any county Judge in
the state.

PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS.
Many Northern Farmers Attracted
to Carter County Lands.

That the eyes of northern farmers
are centered on the southern part OF
Oklahoma is evinced by the fact OF
the number of prospectors who are
constantly making inquiries and call
ing upon the local land dealers. There
has been two parties of five each who
have been inspecting farm lands
north OF ~lrdmore and in the oil dis
trict.
These people come from the older
states where farm lands are exceed
ing high and where the weather is
far more rigid than in sunny Oklaho-
ma, and the highly pleased with the
inducements offered here. Within
the pastcGn days there have been
prospectors looking at these lands
and the chances are that many new
farmers will be residents of Carter
county within the next twelve
months.
Parties from Kansas and Iowa
made heavy purchases last week and
nothing but gilt edge farm lands ap-
pealed to them, through the firm of
Downard & Curtis. They recognize
every tract purchased as being first
class alfalfa land and the purchas-
ers intend to move their families here
as they consider that they can get
one more crop of alfalfa each year
than they can in the north. They
compliment the Oklahoma and Fort
Worth markets as being better than
those they have in their native states,
and they are highly pleased with con-
ditions generally and more especially
pleased with our splendid school sys-
TEN and our system of goods roads.

Battle of Scantland's Barn

Recently an army of rats invaded
and seized the township OF Greene in
the county OF Wayne, state Of Indiana.
They began to pillage and forage from
every house and barn, and citizens OF
the township arose and loudly demand

Into drive the rodents across the
borders.
The role of Pied Piper appealed to
Norman Freeman, who works for farm
er Ol Scantland, and he barred his mus
cular right arm, seized a Rooseveltian
club, walked into the Scantland barn
and the revolt against the greedy ro-
dents was on. The fight has been TAX

pie. so Nathan Edwards announces,

According to Mr. Edwards. when
Gen. Freeman entered the Scantland
barn last Saturday it was nine in the
morning. He was quickly reinforced
and the bloody contest ragged until two
in the afternoon, when every rat had
been killed or fled. At the close of the
battle two hundred mangled rodent re-
mains were on the floor of the barn.
Gen. Freeman informed Correspond
ent Edwards that when he entered the
barn, he was charged by the rats.
causing him to retreat and summon
his rear guard. Gen. Freeman and his
able assistants then returned to the
attack and the rats were repulsed with
heavy loss.
BY routing the rats, Gen. Freeman
probably saved Mr.. Scantland load
of corn, which had been placed on the
barn floor the day before the battle.
After the massacre it was discovered
the rats had, in twentyfour hours, eat
en- bushel of corn, as enough cobs
to ELL bushel basket were found.

palladium SpeciaD

Washington, April 25.-ExSenator
Beveridge is expected at the White
House late this afternoon or tomor-
row. Reports that he is to be offered
the post of ambassador to Germany
are not confirmed at the White House.
On the contrary. it is stated in an au-
thoritative way, his name is not under
consideration.
The old Republican organization
would undoubtedly be glad to have
the former senator sent abroad. They
fear the Republicans of the state will
take the first opportunity to make
Beveridge governor or return him to
the senate.
Beveridge's friends here do not be.
lieve he would accept the German
post. They believe his coming is to
insist that promises made to him
about federal patronage in Indiana be
kept.
