NOT WITHHOLDING GAS.
Company Has Compressor Running
and Sinking Wells.

Owing to the fact that a
few people are under the impression
that the Gas Company is withhold
ing a supply of gas in the field, j..
s, Connolly. manager of the company,
wishes to state that such is a very
erroneous idea. The Gas Company
is running their go horsepower COM
pressor plant up to its full capacity,
and delivering into Ardmore all the
gas that the wells will produce.
The Gas Company is running a
drill rig in the field day and night,
and have brought in six wells in the
last three months, which have helped
greatly in supplying Ardmore with
gas this winter, They expect to
bring in another we'll in a few days.

With our prospective railroad build

together with all of the other mat

Oklahoma able to support a league
team for the past two years. Be

SNOW AND ICE
FOR OKLAHOMA
NORTHERN PORTION OF STATE
is WRAPPED IN MANTLE OF
WHITE. .f, ..u., ... Ap q, ,

The rising of a cold and searching
wind from the north at about mid
right on Friday night brought with it
n steady drop in the temperature.
All day Saturday the thermometer
fell and at six o'clock it was push
ing the button at 20 degrees.
Passengers coming In from the
north yesterday afternoon stated that
at Blanchard and Purcell the earth
was covered with over four inches
OF snow. The snowfall extended up
to the pass through the Arbucklc
mountains.
A telephone message received at
this office from Oklahoma City stat
ed that it had begun showing there
shortly after one o'clock yesterday
afternoon and the informant said
that at the time he was talking
$50 p. m-the snow was over five
inches deep and still falling in the
capital city.
sn Ardmore it began sleeting at
80. BY seveu o'clock the sleet had
turned to a slight snow.
While the fall in the temperature
has not been nearly so great nor
the weather nearly so severe as II
was during the cold wave of some
weeks ago, yet the suffering occa-
stoned by the evident insufficiency OF
the gas supply has been much great
er. At noon yesterday, while the
mercury was only six degrees below
the freezing point, the gas pressure
was so low that much inconvenience
was felt in all ARTS cf the city. by
the middle of the afternoon the hard
ware stores which handle coal and
wood stoves were doing flourish
ing business with those who have
grown tired of paying for gas and
getting no service when the gas is

Broad and Water.

Everybody has heard of the young
woman who told her sweetheart that
she could live on bread and water
and of his reply that if she would
furnish the bread he would rustic
around and get the water The city
police department has figured it out
that. if a young married couple can
live on bread and water, prisoner
who belongs to the class who will
neither toll nor spin, should be able
to eke out an existence on tie same
bill of fare. For nearlyh week one
of the city prisoners who has failed
to produce the necessary amount
with which to satisfy the cravings
of the laws whose legends he frac-
tured when he carromed brick from
the head of a fellow citizen, has lain
in the city Jail and stated positively
that he would not decorate the end
of number two" broom or other
implement of manual or menisl labor.
On Friday the city decided that his
menu card should rbd bread and
water" until he acknowledged the
of the law, and joined
the street improvement gang. Up to
date the young gentleman has re-
NAMED seemingly satisfied with his
fate and his feed He says that
the bread is all right and that it
don't take much water this kind OF
weather anyway.
