Youth Seeks Ranch Employment.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 23.-Gov-
ernor Cruce has received letter from
young man of New Haven, who
wants to get employment on a ranch
in the west and who writes to the gov
ernor for the address of some ranch
that might be interested. Aside from
the fact that the letter was sent TO
the governor, there is little of expect
ed eastern provincialism about 1t. The
youth is a draughtsman and wants to
try outdoor life. He seems to have no
misconception of the west, as most of
the young fellows have who want to
ride pinto ponies and carry six guns.
From reading the letter one would
conclude that the east Is learning, and
that aside from the fact that a letter
to the postmaster or to the depart
ment of agriculture might be closer
to accurate information than a letter
to the governor, there is nothing un-
usual in the tone of the inquirer for
far horizons and the golden sunshine
of the west. Governor Cruce has SYM
pathy for the youth Of the crowded
places, and his reply will place the
young man in communication with a
prospective place in the out-of-doors

ATTORNEY IS
COLLECTING
BAIL BONDS
COUNTY ATTORNEY SAYS FROM
NOW ON THE ACCUSED MUST
BE IN COURT, OR MONEY WILL
BE COLLECTED.

Yesterday County Attorney A. J..
Hardy began action which, in all
probability, will cause people to sit
up and take notice before going on
bonds for arrested parties to appear
in court.
The first money ever collected by
the county on bond was yesterday
when two prominent Carter county
citizens paid five hundred dollars to
the county, because they were un-
able to produce the bonded party in
court when the case was called, and
they have not been able to locate
him since.
The county attorney promised the
peope when elected that he was 60
ing to pay especial attention to the
collection OF bonds when the parties
failed to show up. He also prom
ised that no bonds would be accepted
unless he felt sure they could be
collected, in the event it became
necessary. He has already filed
suits against fifteen bondsmen and
stated this morning that he is going
to make good on his promise to the
people.
II is thought by the attorney that
his action will have the effect of
making people reasonably sure that
their man will appear in court be-
fore they sign their names and quail
ify on a bond.
