erendum franchise election resulted in
a vote of 1,167 to las in favor OF
granting the franchise. The franchise
is not exclusive and other companies
may place mains below or above the
Magnolia mains.
The Magnolia company is erecting
a $1,500,000 refinery near the packing
houses and wanted the privilege of
piping its products direct to the fac
tories and other industries here. The
franchise calls for the initial laying of
six miles of mains. The voting was
very light, not more than one-tenth of
the poll tax payers exercising the
right of suffrage.
The election was held with no eX-
pense to the city, the oil company
paying the entire cost, which was
more than $1,000.
There was no concerted action
against the granting of the franchise,
although the trades unions opposed
the grant, claiming that the refinery
is not being erected by union labor.
The complete returns were receiv-
ed and compiled by City Secretary
Harwood The polls closed at
O'Clock and by 7:40 O'Clock all the re-
turns had been received.

COMPAN WANT
Ne EWC0NTRAC7
SUPERINTENDENT H. E. FOSTER
SUBMITS PROPOSITION TO THE
CITY FOR EIGHT-YEAR CON.
TRACT.

The contract for lighting the city
has expired, and the Ardmore Ice,
Light and Power company wants to
renew for an eight-year term, pro-
vided the proposition is submitted
to the vote of the people.
The reason for asking for such a
contract is this: The ice, light and
power company wants to install new
lights of better cGndlepower and
brilliancy throughout the city, which
will give approximately twice as much
light as the city is getting now, at
the same money, but, as it is going
to be pretty heavy expense to do
this, the company desires to have
a contract with the city that is bind
ing for term of years.
Mr.. Foster stated that he would
not be willing to enter into a con-
tract for a term of years unless the
matter was taken to the people for
their ratification, as he stated that
it was the only legal way it could
be done.
The city attorney was of the opin-
ion that the contract with the COM
pany could be made from year to
year as it is now. but Mr. Foster
insists that the company is entitled
to a longer contract, in view of the
fact that so much expense would be
incurred in installing the new light
ing system.
The matter was taken under ad-
visement and an agreement reached
later.

TWO ALLEGED
CON5P|RAT0RS
ARE IN JAIL
SAID THERE WE'RE DESIGNS ON
"DICk" HlGNlGHTS LIFE. STAR
TLING DEVELOPMENTS MAY
FOLLOW INVESTIGATION.

The eastern part of Oklahoma be-
ing dry" and it being one OF the du-
ties of the United States marshal to
enforce the liquor laws of the United
States. came very near getting Dick
Hignight, deputy U. S. marshal in
Ardmore, into serious miXup lately,
so it is reported.
Hignight has been very diligent in
looking after alleged bootleggers and
others engaged in handling liquors,
and as the story goes a few of the
boys decided that it would be better
to have Hignight put out of business
by the quickest route.
On last Sunday a friend of Hig-
nights tipped him off to 'look out"
as there might be a conspiracy to put
him out of business, and Mr.. Hignight
proceeded to investigate the matter
and ended the incident, for a while at
least, by filing information with U. S.
Commissioner Hutchinson and now two
of the alleged frame up" men are
boarding at the county jail awaiting a
hearing on the charge of conspiring to
iniure a United States officer in the
discharge of his duties.
George Riggs and Bert Elliott are
in Jail and others may be implicated
before the probe is completed.
The law in such cases is rather Sc
we're and the penalty imposed can be
as much as $4,000 fine and six years
Imprisonment or both.
Coming soon after the killing of
two deputy marshals at Tulsa by an
alleged bootlegger, it looks like the
indignation OF the liquor boys has been
aroused. and startling developments
may follow.

apparently in a death struggle.

arrangements for the opening of the

Gently purchased, with the city water

Mr. Brown asks that the city ex-
tend the sewer lines from the pres
ent terminus, about 1,600 feet to the
northwest city limits, but when in
formed that the city did not have the
money to do so, submitted a propo-
sition to the city to build the sewer
from the Hargrove property, includ-
ing the 1000 feet, provided the city
would give Bloomfield free water for
five years.
The matter will be taken up with

stated last night that he was anxious
to get the necessary work done so
that the school could be opened at
as early a date as possible, but it
would be some time yet before it
could be done.
