COUNTY SEAT
WAR At JAY

Grove, Okla, Dec 12.-(2:15 p. m.)
There are no new developments in
the Jay county seat embroglio. Sheriff
Thomason is having much trouble in
getting men to enlist to help move the
Delaware county records from Old Jay
to New Jay. The county records are
locked in the big safe at Old Jay and
a large majority of the people are
with Old Jay in the contest.
Theer is a disposition to obey the
orders of Governor Cruce whatever
they may be in the matter. Judge
Pitchford has. been ordered to make
an investigation, but he is holding
court at Stilwell and so far as known
has made no move in the matter yet.
A large force of armed men are guard
ing the records at Old Jay and say
they shall not be moved until SO or
dered by Governor Cruce Sheriff
Thomason seems to be up tree" so
far as moving the records from Old
Jay to New Jay is concerned, as very
few citizens can be forced to enlist
in the undertaking.
Cherokee Indians and other citizens
from all parts of Delaware county are
on the ground armed to the teeth and
ready for fight and are determined
that the county records shall not be
molested

ONCE a YEAR

This mill is called the Wonder
because it is simply wonderful in
its combination and constructions.
and because most of it's many fine
points are not found In other Mills,
list. 1t has q center LIFT, and the
heavy strain of the pumprod is
midway between four long bear
ings. This insures perfect align
ment of these parts, and increases
it's strength and DURABILITY.
End. The hearings which carry
the windwheel; also the gears and
other small parts, run in a bath of
oil, and, when the reservoir, which
forms the main frame, is filled, they
will run perfectly one year without
further attention.
3rd. Two pitmans are found to
be much better than one, because
they have greater wearing surface.
and the whole construction is more
durable.
4th. The pressure between the
teeth of both pinions and gears Is
equal at all times; there being no
wristpin connection between them.
9Th. The wiudwheel arms have q
very wide spread AT. the base, great
Iy increasing their strength.
9Th. The bearings which carry
the vane also have a very wide
spread. This lessons the friction,
and enables the mill to govern per-
fectly.
7th. The entire mill rests on
three-fourth inch Tempered Steel
Balls. having flexible box install
plates above and below, SO that the
weight Is at all times on all of
the balls. This bearing has been
used by us for the past ten years,
and has never failed to give per-
feet satisfaction.
