IL has long been known that there

capital available.
IN recent years, however, several
syndicates have been formed to GET
out the gold. One. backed by eastern
capital, has been at work for some
time at Lees ferry. This is a desolate
place, far from any railway, but 1t has
onered the best opportunity for such
WORK, being at the point where the
river runs out of the sand hills after
cutting through them for hundreds Of
miles and running for a few miles

Degrading to Wash nlshes2

Roswell, N. M.-Seventy-fiye high
school girls have sent a petition to Su
perintendent NJ. II. Brashear of the
city schools, asking. that they be ex
cused from taking the course In do.
mestic science.
They aver that they believe dish.
washing to be degrading and not con.
ducive to higher mentality. The De.
tition also sets forth that the girls are
not accustomed to such menial work
at home, and that they DO not care
to learn the art Of cooking.
No indication of the disposition to
be made of the petition has come yet
from the authorities.

VINITA HIGH SCHOOL
LOSES TO MUSEOGEE

games ever played in eastern Okla
homa the Vinita high school baske,
ball team was defeated by the Mus.
kogee squad last night on the Musko.
gee court by a score of AZ to 90.
The score looks big but considering
the conditions under which the yinita
boys played. it was all that could be
expected for the game was PLAYED nm.
der the intercollegiate rules and the
Vinita boys have been playing under
the association rules.
The "dribble" play was used bv
Douglas of Muskogee with much suc.
cess as the Vinita boys seemed nm.
able to break the play. Carter and
davidson of Vinita, were the stars
and were in every play.
Franklin and Campbell at guards
played good steady game and Roper
while he played against a more ex.
perlehced man, more than held his
own.
Our boys are not feeling at all bad
over their defeat and considering that
his is their first season together they
played a remarkable game.

TOO MUCH BOOZE
At ARGUSVILLE
FIGHT IN HOTEL RESULTS IN
SMASHING OF WELL KNOWN
YOUNG MAN or THAT VICINITY
LATTER BROUGHT TO FARGO
FOR TREATMENT,

There was a free-for-all scrap at
A~rgusville yesterday in which too
much booze figured conspicuousIy.
Pat O'F7aherty and some other friends
were at the hotel and had a somewhat
convivial celebration. They had been
Eoisy and the hotel people had ad-
monished them. Later the party
wanted a rig.
Ed Martin, the real estate man, was
looking after the hotel and livery bust
ness while Landlord Sugg was i'll. He
gave Pat Drury a price on a rig, but
would not agree to let the team go un-
less he knew TO what point 1t was
planned II drive,
Pat Drury went to Mrs. Suggs and
was follwed by Martin. There were
some hot words and Martin alleged
that Drury called him n vile name.
Martin threatened to clean Drury up
and the rest Of the party came down
to participate.
Ed Drury pulled off his coat and
started for Martin. O'Flaherty got n
the game. Martin used a poker and
smashed O'F1aherty. There was a gen
eraI mix-up and Martin was struck IN
the, face by some of the crowd.
When the melee was over 1t was
found that Ed. Barry had been stabbed
in the abdomen. No n seems to have
seen a knife. Martin was welding a
poker.
1t was at first thought that Drury
was seriously injured and was bleeding
internally. He was brought to a Far
go hospital last night, where it was
found that his injuries were not seri-
