which promises to be rs productive

In these latter lays has come he

From the Gushing (Okla.) Daily
Citizen Oct Is.
Two years is very short pc
rod of time, and wherein great
changes have been wrought in that
period and when one looks back il
seems still shorter
When those of US who were here
two years ago this twenty-lif.h h day
OF October contemplate the wonderful!
changes that have taken place since
then we were startled, astounded. 1t
, does not seem possible that so much
can have occurred. To one who has
not been on the ground it seems en-
tirely impossible and unreal. Such L

not believe it II is in,eed

more graphically Illustrated than in
the history of Cushing and its great
oil and gas. field, the greatest in the
world for the past two years
/ Less han two years ago Cushing
was nice little village Of 1000 peo-
pie, content to quietly earn a mod
es. livelihood. Today it is a bustling
city of $1,000 people, eagerly rushing
on, a city teeming with energy and
! activity and possessing possibilities
! beyond the imagination Of the citi-
len of two years ago. Then we were
content if the cotton crop was good,
now we reach out for the earth.
Less than two years ago, the sec
tion to the east was almost Wild
j erness in which half hundred people
struggles for existence, yes s;rug-
rled. Today 5000 human engines ars
pulsating with energy and thousands
and tens of thousands of dollars are
being added daily TO the wealth OF
!; the country. Then it was q poverty
/ stricken district, now it is one Of. the
wealthiest sections in the land.

In Favor of Insured.

In court recently the case of Mrs.
Mary Bageant, against the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company was tried in the
court, with the result that Mrs. Bageant
was awarded the full amount of her
claim. against the company, which
amounted to SIS. Her son had been IN
sured in the company for four years,
and at his death the company refused TO
pay the claim, contendng that as there
was another policy on the life of the boy
1t could not be held accountable, under
provision of its policy stipulating this.
Justice Dennis, before whom the case
was tried below, awarded Mrs. Bageant
SI2 so the amount Of the premiums paid.
The court then instructed the jury to
bring in verdict for Mrs, Bageant, be-
cause the policy provided that after two
years the policy was ncontestable Dorsey
Etchison represented Mrs Bageant and
Jacob Rohrback appeared for the Metro
politan Insurance Company.

side OF the Market House, this CITY, to
be used for teing horses. the rall being
erected for the benefit of country people
who have been accustomed to hnching

up under the direction OF Mayor Fraley,
the work being done by Messrs Burck

In addition to the rail hitching rings
have been placed against the shed in the
