Mountain Dew Wasted.

United States Enforcement Officer
A. II. Nesbit landed on suspicious
looking trunk in the baggage room ol
the union depot yesterday afternoon.
The trunk had come in from another
state and was consigned to a party
in Ardmore under a name which
developments indicated was ficti-
tious. Upon being opened the trunk
was found 70 contain casks OF old
time, joy creating, trouble-making,
fight provoking, neutrality-suspicious..

the roll when the name OF the fic-
titious consignee was called, the
representative OF an outraged law
handed down from the days when
the inhabitants O' the eastern part
of Oklahoma were wards Of the gov
ernment, proceeded to declare the
contents of the casks which reposed
in the trunk, contraband, and as
such proceeded to destroy the same

WANTS BEAR TRAP =.
Every Time he Goes to Church it Costs
him More than his Contribution

Uncle George Henry Bruce wants a
bear trap.
In fact Uncle George Henry Bruce
wants a whole series of bear traps
ranging from the mighty contrivance
suis ciently strong to hold a grizzly,
down through the list to one large
enough to catch and hold coon, and
thereT 4 reason.
So & ne ago while Mr.. and Mrs.
Bruce attending divine worship
as is the % tom each Sabbath, some
marauder nut the fear OF the
Lord in his O. entered their re
dence on No e Washington stree
and after rifln dresser took :,
small amount of from purse
lying thereon, owe. Z. pg the tact
that another purse co aiming much
larger sum was close by, an account
o. the affair was published at the time
and no doubt the culpit read or what
he might have secured had be been
more thorough in his work and he
concluded to bide his time, awaiting
another opportunity. Well, the op'
portunity came last Tuesday afternoon.
While Mrs. Bruce was attending a
ladies meeting at the church someone
again e;tered the house presumably
the same person. and again got away
with something near four dollars IN
change that was left conveniently by,
and for that reason Uncle George
states that he will either have to equip
his premises with an up to date line
of bear traps or else forego attending
church and he does not propose to do
the latter if there are any bear traps
on the market.

the required time, as per the original
contract with them, he will not de-
mand or ask Of Lawton that that por-
tion of the bonus be given to him.
Upon the arrival of Messrs. Cotner
and Won Weise in Lawton a mass
meeting of the citizens of the city
was held at the opera house under the
auspices OF the Lawton Chamber OF
Commerce. The meeting was largely
attended by those who were anxious
to see things begin to happen. Both
Mr.. Cotner and Mr.. Won Weise ad-
dressed this meeting and told the
people there assembled of the prompt
action which had been taken by the
citizens of Ardmore in the matter and
how the people generally Of this town
had responded to the call of the rail
way committee. At the meeting VI
was decided to get busy with the pc
tition to the city commissioners to
dave them convey by deed to the
Comanche Development company the
land which the development company
has contracted to convey to Ringing.
A long distance telephone message
from Mr.. Cotner yesterday afternoon
stated that the petition is being signed
by practically everyone approached in
the matter. Mr.. Cotner added that
he thought the whole matter would
be closed and the final contract signed
up and delivered by Saturday of this
week.
II seems that the final favorable
action of Lawton is all that will be

of the road. Mr.. Ringing has gone
so far as to agree with the citizens OF
that city that, should the cost of the
right of way-ten miles-which Law
ton has agreed to give, exceed five
thousand dollars he will pay the diff
ference between the actual cost and
five thousand dollars himself.

AFTER YEARS SPENT IN PRISON,
PATRICK RECEIVED PARDON
FROM DIX.
A REAL THANKSGIVING
Patrick Attired in Clothing Supplied
by the Prison Authorities Will Hur-
ry Home to His Family in New
York.

Ossining, n. Y, Nov. 2S. This Is
real Thanksgiving for Albeit T..
Patrick, who was pardoned yesterday
after years in the penitentiary for the
murder of William Rice. Patrick
dressed himself carefully the i'll
fitting garments supplied by the pris-
on and gazed out the window across
the snow -flaked Hulson waiting for
the pardon document to come by mail l.
He expected to take dinner with his
family in New York.
Albert T. Patrick, was serving life
sentence in Sing Sing prison for the
murder of William Marsh Rice, an
aged millionaire, in New York City
on September %, 1900 until pardoned
last night by Governor Dix.
Patrick, who was saved from the
electric chair by the late Governor
Higgins in December 1906, has made
a remarkable fight for his freedom
A lawyer by profession. he protested
when Governor Higgins commuted the
death sentence to life Imprisonment,
declaring that the governor had no
legal right to cancel the original SEN
tence and impose punishment OF
life Imprisonment.
There has always been an air OF
mystery in this important case, SAID
Governor Dix, and quoted from the
minority opinion Of the court OF ap-
peals which said: THE atmosphere
that surrounded the defendant show
ed that fair an impartial trial was
scarcely possible.
Il trust that Mr.. Patrick will devote
his energies to complete vindication
of his deciared innocence said Gov
erncr Dix.
During the past year have given
much consideration to his case ana
am convinced that the defendant Is
entitled to have a full pardon.

Up to Date in All Things

The house of Westheimer & Daubc
never misses an opportunity to nem-
onstrate to the people Of Ardmore
that it's upto date in every respect.
Yesterday this firm had placed over
the main entrance Of their large
department store a magnificent sign
bearing the firm name in bold gilt
letters. The sign is such one as
will be seen in large cities and adds
greatly, not alone to the beauty OF
the store whose front 1t adorns, but

R|NG[|NG ROAD
TAKING FORM
FORMER MAYOR COTNER AND
CHARLES Won WEISE OF ARD
MORE VISIT LAWTON.

Charles Won Weise and former May
or Cotner of Ardmore have been in
Lawton the greater part of the pres
ent week. Mr.. Won Weise returned
by way of Oklahoma City last evening
and Mr. Cotner returned this after
noon. These two gentlemen went TO
Lawton as representatives of the rail-
way association of this city and in
the interests of furthering the cul-
mination of matters leading up to
the signing of the contract with John
Ringing to build the Ringing road
from Ardmore to Lawton.
Mr.. Won Weise when seen by an
Ardmoreite reported this morning sta
ted that upon their arrival in Lawton,
be and Mr.. Cotner found that the
people Of Lawton had really done bit
little in the matter that might be SAID
to be of a concrete form. The con-
tract had been signed on the part cl
the citizens of Lawton by the eXecu-
tive board of the Comanche Develop
ment company, but this company real.
" were only acting trustees for the
body of land which it had been agreed
to transfer to Ringing for the build
ing of the road.
Before anything in the way OF a
final agreement of transfer could pe
made by this development company
the city commissioners of the city
of I.awton will have to convey to the
said company by deed the title to
this land.
TO do this, Mr. Won Weise says,
an election will not be necessary. All
that will be required will be for ma
iority of the citizens of the city to
petition the mayor and the board oil
commissioners to so deed the body OF
land which the contract says is to be
conveyed to Ringing in event the road
is built and in operation within the
time specified in the contract.
This is the same tract OF lahd
which it was agreed to be delivered
to Robertson. Sutton. ct al. upon the
event they would build the Ardmore'
Duncan and Lawton, better known as
the Hamon road. One thing Mr.. Won
Weise says that has been holding the
matter up at the Lawton end is the
fear that both roads would be built
and that the citizens would be called
upon to deliver the SAINT amount TO
both Ringing and the other people.
Taking this matter into considera-
ton, the gentleman states, Mr.. Ring
ling has caused to be inserted into his
contract with the city a clause which
provides that should the original A.
