ders was wounded late Friday al
ternoon in a pitched battle with three
whisky men.
The two officers had seized a
wagon load of liquor about one mile
north of town and We're bringing the
contraband back when three men
drove up in a wagon and opened IRE.
Deputy Scarr was instantly killed
and Sanders received a bullet In
the arm. With one arm crippled the
sheriff returned the fire, driving off
the assailants, two escaping, and
one who gave his name as John Et-
ter, being captured.
The liquor, it is believed, was be-
ing taken from Coffeyville, Kan, to
Tulsa, following the route taken by
most bootleggers who transport
across the line. Sheriff Sanders re-
ceived word about the booze first
while at Claremore and he went i'm
mediately TO Collinville to inter

ARDMORE INDIAN
OFFICE RETAINED
CHIEF INDIAN AGENT KELSEY
THINKS THIS POINT TOO I'M
PORTANT TO CLOSE OFFICE.

Dana II. Kelsey OF Muskogee, chief
Indian Agent, was in this city yes
terday, and in consultation with S.
A. Mills, district agent at this point,
and also with number of the rep
resentative business men of the city.
When seen by an Ardmoreite re-
porter yesterday morning Mr.. Kelsey
erning the office of district agencies
it would be necessary to remove Mr..
ther stated that he would be retained
as a field agent under the Muskogee
office and that he would remain here
while this office would be maintained
as branch office.
"Ardmcre," said Mr. Kelsey, is
too important point in the matter
OF the Indian affairs of this section
to have the doors OF the office closed
and the business from this district
transacted through the Muskogee Of
flee altogether. For this reason it viii
be necessary 10 keep this office open
as field office, while Mr.. Mills,
who is familiar with the workings
here will be retained in charge
Mr. Kelsey said further that the
large number OF acres of oil lands
in the Ardmore district, together with
the great interest which outsiders are
manifesting in the oil interests here
renders it almost absolutely needfu
that such a step be taken. If the
doors of the Ardmore agency were
to be closed the gentleman thinks
that this section wuold suffer to the
extent of several hundred thousand
dollars within the next few months.
When asked about the reduction OF
the office force Of Mr.. Mills, Mr.. Kel-
sey said that he had taken no steps
in this matter yet, but that. as there
was no federal appropriation covering
the employment OF assistants for
field agents. it was probable that they
would OF necessity be removed, with
the possible exception of an inter-
prefer.
Mr.. Kelsey left on the early after
noon train for Madill, from there he
will 60 to Chickasha and Pauls VAL
ley. The gentleman is making this
trip with the intention of covering
the entire territory comprising the
Chickasaw nation thus bringing
himself in close touch with the people
of the section and rendering himself
familiar with their needs.
When seen yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Mills, who will be retained in this
office as field agent said to an
Ardmoreite man, Il shall Of neces-
sity be compelled to work with
reduced force, but J shall endeavor
to carry on the work just as it has
been carried on in the past, giving
the best service possible"
