NEGRO MEETS
TRAGIC DEATH
BODY FOUND EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING. coRoNER's VERDICT
ACCIDENTAL KILLING.

Frank Rodd, negro, about SO years
of age who lives ten miles northeast
OF Ardmore near Mulkey met death
SUI day morning in rather tragic
ms nner. John Griffis found the body
errly in the morning near Mr.. Grif-
fis' home. The negro had been in
the habit of hauling wood to town
and selling it to the negroes. He
makes it a rule to come on Satur-
days and wait until the negroes get
their checks for wages and then do
his collecting He left Ardmore about
three O'Clock Sunday morning for his
home. The wagon had no box and
he was riding on the running gear.
He either fell from a sudden jolt OF
the wagon or from heart failure,
which he suffered from, and his neck
was broken. The body became wedg-
ed in between the wheel and the back
hounds and was held so tight that
those who found him could scarcely
release the body. Justice Holloway
summoned jury and an inquest was
held. The verdict arrived at was
that the negro had met acciden al
death. His watch, $29 in money and
the groceries he had purchased were
found with the body. Just how lie
net death will most likely never be
known, but the officials are of the
opinion that death was accidental and
no arrests will be made.

OIL COMP PAN|ES
STILL COMING
PIPE LINE COMPANY HAS BUILT
PRIVATE WIRE INTO ARDMoRE
INTEREST IN LEASES.

Interest in the oil field becomes
more tense with each passing week.
Scouts are in the field every day max
ins observations and taking leases.
A vast scope of country around OH
CITY, Fox, Pooleville and Tatums is
covered with leases. The county rec
crds are being searched closely and
le ages that have been carelessly writ
ten or are expiring are being correct
ed and renewed.
Among the newcomers to the heid
is d.. rWl. Burrows from Tulsa. He has
offices in the Green building on West
Main street. Mr.. Burrows states that
he is with the Producers Oil COM
pany, that they have but few leases
in the field and that the situation
Goes not look very good to his COM
panv and he does not know whether
they will do any operating here or not.
Mr.. O'Connor is in the same office
with Mr.. BurroWS and IL ID hho"ii
that these people represent one of the
largest oil companies in the world
at an expense of something like $1o,'
600 they have laid private wire from
the Gulf Pipe Line one hundred miles
into Ardmore. The stenographer
| here is also a telegrapher and what
messages are sent no one is able to
ascertain. It is believed that these
| activities mean much to the Garter
county oil fields. None of the opera
tors are making any statements fol
the press and are encouraging ad
verse reports on the field. Too much
money is spent in the field as wild
cat proposition.

A company of Ardmore capitalists
have incorporated and will begin op-
erations in the Wheeler oil fields
within the next few days. 1t is un-
derstood that the company already
has secured leases on valuable prop
erty in close juxtaposition to the San

have been over the ground and say
that the prospects upon the greater
Fart of the land for oil seems to be
nGst excellent.
From the reports whict experts are
said TO have sent to eastern invest ITS

underlaid with vast pool of oil and
the day may not be far distant Wien
Carter county will be the home OF one
OF the largest oil producing series OF
wells in the state.

FIGHTING FOR LIMIT ON TRUNK

Not having completed its investiga-
tions into the proposed new baggage
dimension regulations, the interstate
commerce commission has again sus-
pended the operations Of these rules
for three months. The regulations,
which have been adopted by practical
ly every railroad in the country, pro-
vide that for any piece Of baggage,
excepting immigrant baggage checked
at port of landing, the greatest di-
mensions of which exceeds forty five
inches, there shall be an additional
charge for every inch equal to ten
pounds excess weight, and that no
piece of baggage, the greatest dimen.
sion Of which is more than seventy
inches, except immigrant baggage,
shall be checked at all.
The roads have sought by this rule
to stop the use of the new big ward
robe trunks, which are very popular
with travellers. Commercial travellers
and others have made strenuous pro-
test TO the commission against the
proposed regulations.

AUSTIN BROWN DIES IN
BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA

The local Masonic lodge received a
message from Berkeley, Cal, this
morning which conveyed the sad news
that Austin Brown, son-in-law of the
late Adair Wilson, had passed away.
Saturday, Tom Edwards, cousin of
Mrs. Brown, had letter from the
family which stated that Mr.. Brown
was very i'll with appendicitis and
peritonitis and as soon as his con-
dition would permit he would be ta-
ken to DR.. Morton's hospital in San
Francisco for treatment and an opera
tion.
Austin Brown was prominent fig
ure in the business life of Durango
during the time the Standard smelter
was in operation, being connected with
the plant in an official capacity. 1t
was during his residence in this city
he married Miss Kate Wilson, the
eldest daughter of Judge and Mrs,
Adair Wilson.
After the Standard smelter ceased
operations, Mr.. and Mrs. Brown moved
TO California where he was connect
ed with smelters for years. He was
an active man, who apparently had
many years yet to complete his work
here. 1t seems that until his final i'll
ness he had enjoyed good health
Mr.. Brown was member of the
Masonic lodge of Durango, and
through their orders his funeral will
be conducted by the members of the
order in Berkeley.
In addition to his devoted wife, two
sons mourn his loss.
