TENDER AGRICULTURAL Ex-
HIBIT MAY BE MADE.

Carter county will more than like
ly effect a fair organization and
arrange series of exhibits Of things
produced in this county, together
with live stock, Cor the latter part

mercial club stated to an Ardmore-
ite reporter this morning that Car
ter county was arranging for one
of the largest and best exhibits that
it has ever had at the state fair,
which will be held in Oklahoma City
during the latter part of September
and the first of October. The gen
tleman further said that it was the
intention of the Commercial club,
acting jointly with the business men
of this city to arrange to place these
exhibits in Ardmore before their re-
movai to the capitol city. A series
Vi NdludDlt wan w -
ranged and the gentleman thinks
that a permanent fair organization
will be effected.
Mr.. Mccoy stated further that he
thought the city commissioners
would emulate the example of the
commissioners of Durant and other
cities in this section of Oklahoma,
and give the fair association free
use of the streets for exhibition pur-
poses. Mr. Mccoy stated that he
had talked the matter of county
fair over with a number of the
leading business men and that they
all seem inclined to take kindly to
the proposition.

Muskogee, Okla, Aug 14.-Accord-
ing to a decision by Judge RalpA Z.
Campbell of the United States dis
trict court Wednesday afternoon,
Creek homesteads as well as surplus
lands become alienable Immediately
on the death of the allottee and il
makes no difference whether death
took place before or after the five
year restriction. On the death of a
Seminole allottee all his lands includ-
ing homestead becomes alienable and
the heirs can make proper convey
ance of this land.
Contrary to the decision by the su-
preme court of Oklahoma in the
Stonebraker case. Judge Campbell
holds that the death of an allottee
conferred upon his heirs the right to
sell the land inherited including the
homestead Practically every point
covered by the decision was not in
rluded in the decision by the United
States supreme court. and means a
victory for the defendants in many

retained. This petition which has
been gotten out and circulated by

things, that the known efficiency Of
Mr.. Slaughter as fire chief together
with the long years of successful

sonable rates of insurance which are
now charged by companies writing
insurance in Ardmore.
The petitioners further aver that
they ask that Slaughter be retain
ed as fire chief for the further rea
son that during his long service he
has always proven himself worthy

opinion of the petitioners, the best
interest of the community will be
conserved by his being retained.

Columbia, Dec. 2.-Henry A. Sim
ons, former employee Of the Rich
land Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany, has been placed in the Rich
land county jail under charge Of
breach Of trust with fraudulent in
tent. Three weeks ago Simons left
Columbia to go to Jacksonville, Fla,
where he had some business interests,
and when he did not return within
a few days the officials of the bank
as a matter Of business precaution,
engaged II. e. Gooding, a public ac-
countant, to check over the books Of
the bank.
Some irregularities were found,
among them being, it is alleged, the
certifying by Simons Of his personal
check for $501. when he had no funds
on deposit to his credit. 1t was on
this charge that warrant was sworn
out before Magistrate Fowles.
Since that time it has been learned
that Simons' shortage was $1,000.
He was recognized III Hamilton,
Ohio, where he was selling some kind
Of patent truss and was arrested.
