LIGHT VOTE
BEING CAST
BAlLOTlNG is LIGHT FOR EXTRA
LEVY FOR SCHOOL PUR.
POSES.

Indications are that light vote will
be cast in today's election through
out the county to decide whether an
additional levy shall be made by the
excise board for school purposes.
Thirty per cent of the vote of the
county must be cast in this election
in order to make it legal and it is a
question at the time of going to press
if that will be done. District 10, COM
prising the city of Ardmore, has ask.
ed for an additional levy of 1 10
mills making the total levy for school
purposes 6 40 mills. Unless this
is done Ardmore will have but seven
months school this year instead of
nine months asked for.
In this election women have the
privilege of voting, but very few are
availing themselvesof the opportun-
ity.

.|NTERURBAN IS
NOT DEAD ISSUE
COL. WHITE SAYS HE WILL
HAVE SOMETHING GOOD TO
TELL PEOPLE IN FEW DAYS.

Col. r, A. White who is deeply in
terested in the proposed interurban
line of railway out OF this city, stat
ed yesterday afternoon that he did
not desire the people of Ardmore to
overlook the fact that there was
such line in contemplation. bu.
it would be built, as the last OBJ =
stacle was removed when the vot-
ers of the state at the last election
said to capital that it would be well
come in developing the state by vot-
ing to abolish section 8 article 8 of
the constitution.
The Colonel stated that during all
the excitement attending the build
ing of the Ringing railroad he had
remained in the background with
his proposition, but now that the
road was actually begun and would
be in operation before the winter
months set in he was going to tell
tha people of Ardmore within the
next few days what he had been
doing all these months. The promot-
ers of this road have never ceased |
heir activities on the proposition
and as the line will open very
rich territory adjacent to Ardmore
hey say that they are going to see
t through.

GANG Of YOUNG
PETTY THIEVES
POLICE HAVE TROUBLES WITH
YOUNG PETTY HlGHBlNDERS-
TOUGH PROPOSITIONS.

The police have a problem to face
in a gang of petty thieves who are
infesting the city, and what to dc
with the cnlprits when caught is q
question for the juvenile court.
Last night the pool hall of Green
& Kirn on Washington street was
entered and about ten dollars in
money and some pipes and cigars
taken. The bicycle store of w. O..
:ane on West Main street was also
entered and a lamp and other minor
articles taken. This morning the po-
lice had three boys who we're acc
of the crime and from the testimony
elected from them together with
recovery of part of the goods they
believe that htey have at least part
of the right gang.
One of the boys, much older than
the other two, seems to be the leader
of the gang and also seems to glory
in the fact that he is the boss thief
of the bunch. This boy is as near
morally depraved as any the police
have had to deal with in a long time
and in all probability he will be turn
ed over to the county authorities. He
has been in similar trouble several |
times and is completely hardened
to his situation. The police are max
ing an effort to locate the loot after
which the boys cases will be dis
posed of by the proper officials.

Lone Grove is beginning to spruce
up over the coming of the new rail-
road. The city can do what Over

a nice little town. 1t all depends
upon what its citizens decide to do.
The grading has been finished to tha.
point and the steel is being laid in
that direction at the rate of about a

already talking the building of a can.
