Improvement
To Get Crude Oil From
Gushing Fields'--Twelve
Miles Of Pipe to Lay

The Chanute Refining Company
has authorized the spending of fifty
thousand dollars in their plant with
in the next few days. BY far the
maj or part of this outlay will be made
in the laying out of oil lines in the
Cushing, Oklahoma oil fields, from
which the crude oil of the company
is to be purchased. The company
has formerly purchased their crude
oil from the Ponca City oil fields
but these are failing and the supply
is too small to allow tn. Refining
company to receive a sufficient
amount of crude. The Refinery
uses on an average fifteen hundred
barrels of crude per day and this
supply as soon as the projected pipe
line is laid, will come from the
Cushlng OIL helds.
The pipe line will be laid from
the fields twelve miles from the
city of Gushing. Four inch Oil
Well Supply pipe is being used for
the greater part of the line. AT
Cushing the company is erecting a
thirty-seven thousand FIVE hundred
barrel storage tank and will convey
the supply 10 Chauute by means OF
tank cars as before. Everything
will be in readiness for business by
the fifteenth of February according
TO the plans now made.

Farmers Fued
Still on Tap
Purkey Arrested Massey, Gem
pliment is Now Returned
Shotgun Evidence

The last of the quarrel between
VIM Purkey and John Massey
who are working on the Barker
farm two miles north of town is
not settled yet.
Several weeks ago in quarrel
between the two men Purkey had
Massey arrested on tie charge OF
assault, claiming that Massey used
stick on him and beat him up
pretty badly about the face. This
was proved but the charge OF
assault was made less serious one
and the case was ended as far as
the court was concerned. Not so
with the principals in the case.
Their friendship has not grown and
now another case is ON in court.
Friday Massey was delivering a
load of corn in the Barker barn,
which he claims he was ordered to
do. Purkey came out, Massey
says, and ordered him oft, then
commenced to pitch rocks at him.
Not succeeding in getting him to
,.,o ~, ,h;s u,athOd he brings out
his shot gun and Massey leaves
after this invitation. Nearly the
whole story is denied by the other
party to the affair. The preliminary
examination will be held on the
sixth OF January, having been con
tlnued at the request OF County
Attorney Smith. Purkey was able
to give bond for his appearance.

Geo. Roby was arrested last night
by the police on the complaint OF a
woman calling herself Mrs. Geo
Roby. The charge was wifebeating.
He was pu. IN jail and this motnHg
when Mrs. Roby came down to tell
all about the case and get Roby
fined for wifebeating, the story took
different turn aud Roby slipped
as the saying goes, "from the frying
pan into the fire " The negress w&a
quizzsd by the chief of police and
city attorney until they finally dis
covered that she had husband
living "'Well, where does youT
husband llve2"
"My dear husband lives in Par
sons" "Why don't you live with
your own dear husband, then?'
"He is just as mean to me as this
one IS, and beat me up."
Two years ago she married the
man she calls her Gown dear hus-
band" but they had trouble ana
she and Roby have been living here
for three months, calling themselves
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo Roby. The
woman gave her name this morning
as Myrtle Wilson.
After the story came out it was
impossible to try the man on the
charge of "wifebeating," but both
were than arrested for uolawful
cohabitation. They admitted the
charge and we're fned $50 each and
committed to Jail until the fine was
paid. Because of Judge Dunham's
