A man who gave his name as p.
II. Price and who claims to reside
a few miles est Of Lone Grove, as
few miles west Of Lone Grove, was
brought into the city this morning and
turned over to the police department.
The man was so evidently demented
that he was turned over to the coun-
ty authorities and lodged in Jail pend
Ing recovery from the injuries
which he had received from exposure
and an inquiry into his sanity.
William Mcbride, 1t seems, found
the man lying on the ground on the
banks Of Caddo creek as he was COM
inG into the city at an early hour
this morning. Upon questioning the
man, Mr.. Mcbride thought from his
peculiar actions and his wandering
answers that something must be
wrong with him so he brought him
irto the city with him and turned
him over to the city police, as pre-
v!ously stated.
After giving his name to the Off
GERS the man, who appears to be
about thirty or thirty-five years of
age, stated that he had wandered
away from home about six days ago.
During all the sleet and snow and the
severely cold weather last week he
slept in the open in the timber near
where he was found. He does not
know whether he ate anything during
that time, but thinks he did, although
he does not remember where he OBJ
tanned his food II he had any.
After being taken in charge by the
county officers an examination Of his
physical condition showed that both
feet had been badly frozen. The Of
ficers at the Jail, after getting Kim
thoroughly thawed out, fed him and
at the hour of going to press he was
said to be sleeping soundly. The
Jail officers said that the physicians
would be notified and he would re-
GIVE every possible attention. 1t is
understood that the mans wife re-
sides on farm near Lone Grove and
that an attempt has been made to
notify her by telephone
One of the hallucinations with
which the man is suffering is that he
l. federal soldier and is surrounded
BY an army Of the enemy who are
doing all things possible to prevent
his communicating with his friends.
He told the roi."e this morning thst
another night on the Caddo and lie
would have died or been killed. He
said an army CO imposed OF eight thcu-
sand Texans and ten thousand Mis-
lad him surrounded and that
escape was impossible.

FLOWING THROUGH PIPE LINE.
Ardmore the Center of Greatest OIL
Producing Area in the World.

The Santa Fe oil pipe line leading
iron, the Wheeler -Ardmore fields to
this city. a distance of nineteen and
a half miles, has been completed and
the first oil was received through the
line last night. The oil has been
pumped since last May in huge
storage tanks in the fields, which is
said TO be the largest reservoir used
for this purpose anywhere in the
United States. The product of the
field is a heavy fuel oil with an as
phalt base and is equal to the best
fuel oil found anywhere. The Santa
Fe alone has about seventy producing
wells in the field, but the capacity
of the wells has not been given out
1t Is Slated, however, that none of
them are flowing wells. The com
pany now has three rigs in the
field running day and night.
J. Blair Shoenfelt who recently in
spected the field and who has large
holdings here, made the prediction
that the Ardmore fields would prove
to be the greatest producing area Of
fuel oil in the world. Activity is
now running at high fever and
great scope OF country is being COW
cred with leases Test wells are be-
ing sunk by the Gypsy Oil Co. at Fox,
and Tulsa people are sinking test
well at Homer. The Lacy well on
the old Wheeler townsite produced
five barrels of oil day in the shall
low sand at a depth of 1SO feet. The
well will be sunk to the fourth sand
which is 1850 feet deep. Operators
say that by spring many new COM
panies will be in the field. The
Southern Division of the Gulf Pipe
Line Company has connected its
office in Ardmore by private wire
with the gulf line 100 miles east of
here at Armstrong, north Of Hugo.

secure first hand news regarding the
situation in the Mexican capital, Mex
ican Consul Antonio Lozano of this
city crossed to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico,
at $50 o'clock tonight and secured

nors which have been in circulation

QUARTZ LOCATIONS
 OFTEN DEFECTIVE

Quartz locators are reminded that the regulations governing the stalking of quartz claims are differ ent from those operative i'll connec- ton with placer. For example the greatest dimensions of quartz To- cation must not exceed 1,5oo feet ill length and 300 feet OH each side of the center line, instead of 1920 feet long and 6oo feet wide i'll the case of placer. In addition lode claims may not be located in asso- citations; although this would not prevent grouping after location. provided the individual claims are neither wider nor longer than is allowed by law.
 This reminder is necessary, inas- much as quartz locations have been filed at the local recording office which do not conform to law. It would appear that if ground is worth stalking, it is worth stalking so that it can be held.
