opportunity to learn something of the
value of road improvement and to be-
come member of the organization.
which will have for its purpose the ulti-
mate improvement of every road in the
county.
The roll of membership is being
circulated among the business men of

is so worded that the signer indicates
his willingness TO become a member
of the association and work for the
mpro1 oment of country roads Every
one who signs the roll will have a
voice in the big convention to be held
January g. at which time the future
work OF the association will be out
lined The only thing done by the as
sociauon 50 far is the movement to
bring d. Ward King to this city. Let
nothing keep you away from this good
roads meeting and tell your neighbor
to do likewise This is a movement
in which all are interested and it
should be made big success.

When informed of the report of a
pitched battle at old Jay, Governor
.Cruce stated Sunday night that he had
received no official word from the seat
of trouble for several days and that
he had heard nothing of the reported
engagement Saturday night. He said
that so many conflicting stories con-
cerning the Delaware county seat fight
had reached him during the last week
that he was unable to satisfy himself
upon the real status of the trouble
and in order to be reliably informed
of the necessity of intervention by
himself and the sending of state
troops to the seat of trouble, he had
dispatched Adiutant General Frank
NJ Canton to Delaware county Friday
night with instructions to report to
him, but with no authority to take ac-

Grove, OKLA Dec lj.-Encouraged
by the arrival in Delaware county of
Adjutant General Frank NJ. Canton.
Sheriff Thomason assembled his force
of thirty deputies Saturday night and,
under cover of darkness, approached
to within a quarter of a mile of "old"
Jay. where the county records are
guarded by an armed force of old"
Jay partisans
Hastily improvising fortiiications in
front of the town, Thomason sent one
half of his force to approach from the
opposite side of the town When the
defenders learned of the advance upon
the court house, they prepared to give
battle and in the long distance fight
which was waged for a few minutes,
more than one hundred shots were
fired but, according TO the report re
Iceived here, no one was seriously in
jured, owing to the guarded positions
of the combatants, the darkness and
long range Believing they were too
greatly outnumbered to rush the town,
the attacking party withdrew
Although this battle took place Sat
Iudray night, the first news did not
reach Grove until early Sunday morn
ing, owing to the fact that all telephone
wires leading from Jay were cut. News
that the county seat fight had de-
veloped to a point of using fire arms,
therefore, was brought overland by a
mounted messenger,
