first man to discover shallow oil il
north Texas and did so a few miles
north of Jacksboro, Texas, while
drilling for water. Twenty shallow

The companies operating there are
the Union Oil Company OF Texas

LOCAL MAN WAS FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR OF Al
JENNINGS AND BROTHERS; ARRESTED FAMOUS
BILLY THE KID" DURING ESCAPADES OF '8O's

Kansas. a distance of 80 miles where
he had robbed bank. A week before
he had held up the Lamar bank and
upon arriving in Boston had burglar
lied a store. He was being search
ed for by posse and seemed to have
completely disappeared. Mr.. Ennis,
with companion named Scomp, was
late arriving at his cabin that night
and had a Winchester in his wagon
bed. He saw light in the cabin
and suspected that his place had been
entered by the bandit. He drove his
wagon before the door and found
BILLY" enjoying himself Taking
the man by surprise a few minutes
later he disarmed him and with
Scomp's help. took him to a con-
stable. The kid" threatened to kill
him for the incident when he escaped
later on and Mr.. Ennis says that
when the outlaw re-appeared in
Guthrie. Okla. a year afterward and
recognized him, 81 Just simply hid
out until he had left town" At that
time Jennings was writing editorials
on the Guthrie Leader.
Mr.. Ennis has a clear recollection
OF many other incidents In which
Jennings and his brothers and associ-
ates were implicated, many of which
are detailed or referred to by AL In

TREMENDOUS VOTE
PRESAGED BY
POLL BOOKS
1900 Names on Poll Books, Es-
innate Of MdgiII;; 700 Names
Have Been Added.

Registration for the municipal
election November closed at five
O'Clock this afternoon. All day the
clerks at the city hall have been
pushed to the limit to take care of
the crowds. II is expected that the
doors OF the building will be open for
! short time after five O'Clock to ac-
comodate every one who wants to
qualify for the election.
The number of names added to the
books this year is not nearly so large
as two years ago. About 700 new
registrations have been recorded this
year as against 2.20O two years ago.
The reason is that all those who did
not vote at the Hannah Creek water
election were disqualified for the
1911 election and had to be re-reg-
istered. This took in 2,2OO people.
This year. before the registration was
commenced, the names of all those
who voted last year and two years
ago were still on the books and only
those who have come into the city
since that time needed to be regis
tered
1t is believed that fully $500
names are on the books and possibly
more. Very few unregistered voters
are in the city. is the belief of both
