Suicide of Former Putnam Girl

< Worcester paper of last week says.
 "Brokenhearted over losing her baby boy, Ernest, after she gave him over to some good Worcester people to be adopted, when the infant was only about one month old, and broodirg over the fact that she was deserted in her hour of need by the alleged father of the child, pretty Isabella Marie Lucia committed suicide in South Birmingham, Tuesday morning about D o'clock, by drinking . cuptul o. ear bolic acid.
 In her last few rational moments, the girl, 23 years old, poured out her soul to God and her fellow women of the world, in a series of letters. In these letters she has told of her e. quaintance with the man who, shs says, ruined her. She has opened her heart and has told the story of her fall for the man she loved. She has de picted the scenes of her life since meeting him and has told of all the pain and agony she suffered, not only before, but after the birth of her child. The pain she suffered after losing her baby tore her soul, she says in her piti- ful notes.
 The girl was born in Putnam and has sister, Bessie, Is years old, living with Mrs. Dean there, who speaks in the highest terms of the dead girl and her younger sister, and adds that both of them were at one time in state home in Putnam.n

OIL PRODUCTION
OF CALIFORNIA
Figures Of United states Geological
Survey For 1911 Place Output Of
State at so TO IS Million Barrels.

The petroleum. production Of Cali
fornia in 1911 is estimated by David
T. Day. of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, as reaching a possible So.
100000 barrels.
At the close of 1910 oil was being
produced in California at an average
rate greater than during 1909. This
increase continued and the total pro-
duction for the year 1911 was between
SO,OOO,OOO and SS,OOO,OOO barrels, com
pared with 7S,O1O,56O barrels in 1910.
While the consumption also Increased
production continued TO exceed the de-
mand, stocks increased to about 40,-
100000 barrels. and prices receded to
80 cents barrel where they were not
governed by longtime contracts, al
, though higher prices ruled for defining
oils. The increased production was
chiefly from the Sunet and McKit-
trick region, from the polls already
developed in 1910. Three significant
discoveries during the year were Q)
evidences of large field in La Habra
Valley (2) the discovery of deep
oil sand in the Midway field contain
| ing a heavier oil than in the higher
zones; and CD the discovery at the
end of the year in the Coalinga field
of zone of light oil 1,500 feet below
the main producing beds, in lower
geologic formation. The probability
of this last mentioned discovery had
been pointed out in the reports on the
Coalinga district published by the
United States Geological Survey in
1905 and again in 1910

It is not enough for you to be we'll
wisher of the series of meetings now
in progress at the Methodist church.
The invitation to attend is extended
to all Vinita, and your presence is
needed, Every thinking individual
should realize that they have share
to perform in the labor of upbuilding
the town. Staying away from the

from such obligation. Some one may
be looking to you for an example. Some

cision from observing your life and
character. sooner or later you will
realize that religion is indeed a reality
So come out to the meetings.

STOPS ISSUE OF
CAPITOL BONDS
Oklahoma City Attorney Secures An
Injunction Against the city
Commissioners.

Oklahoma City, Jan 1S.-Any at
tempt by the city commissioners to
call a special bond election for $780,
o00 to finance a northwest railroad and
start work on the state capitol, will
be delayed at least until January 20
by a restraining order granted War
rem X. Snyder, an attorney of this city.
in the district court yesterday. The
order was granted by Judge J. j. Car
ney at El Reno.
Snyder attacks the legality of the
manner in which it is proposed to call
the election on the bonds. He claims
the commissioners have no authority
to issue the call, and even expresses
grave doubt that the money sought
to be raised for the railroad PROPOSE
ton will in reality go for that pur-
pose.
He does not seriously object to the
100000 being raised for the state cap
itol, but suggests that after certain
individuals in the city guaranteed the
capitol contracts that il is not popu-
lar thing to now turn to the people
and have them foot the bills.
A hearing will be held on the re-
straining order on January 30 when
the city commissioners will be called
on to show their authority for calling
a special election in the premises.
