Judge w. 4. Wiseman was here
last night on business with the coun
ty attorney. He had just held the
examining trial of G. f. Beatty
charged with shooting John Means
and fixed his bond at $1,000 Judge
Wiseman is justice of the e'peace OF
Akers township. He handles all the
cases originating in the oil fields
and does more business than any 9th
er justice in the county. He has
been the democratic nominee for this
office for four times, and that means
he has held the place since statehood
was conferred upon Oklahoma. One
of the best men in the township op-
posed him this time, but Judge Wise
mans majority was the greatest it
has ever been. He occupies a firm
place in the hearts of his neighbors
and can be elected to any office he

the captains wished to interview him.
Secretary Daniels today gave Mayo
full power to send American warships
back up the Panuco river at Tampi-
co, if, in Mayo's Judgment he thinks
such actiCn warranted. Daniels said
hat Mayo will not land troops at
Tampico without specific orders, ex-
cept in the gravest emergency.

with the United States officials where
by the oil operators about Tamplco

aboard them, including possibly the

CROP CONDITIONS
IN CARTER CO.
WET SPRING RETARDS CROPS.
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL FOR
THIS SEASON OF THE YEAR.

w. F. Warren, who keeps in close
touch with crop conditions in this
section of the state, stated this morn,
ming when asked about the local out
look, that the general crop conditions
were slightly below normal owing to
the heavy rains and continued cool
weather this spring. The wheat con
ditions, he states, however are above
normal, with a ten per cent increase
in acreage and condition registering
close around 105. The acreage of oats
has been increased from five to ten
per cent with condition 100.
Cotton, he states, has been decreas-
ed from ten to fifteen per cent, with
condition not over so. Owing to late
rains and cool weather considerable
replanting will be necessary, and seed
hard to get.
Corn is about normal, with condi-
tion about 80 per cent. There is a
slight increase in acreage in alfalfa
with condition 100. First cutting is
now ready, but warm, dry weather
needed for perfect curing.

Lost Boy in Woods.

Hugo, Okla, May 13.-Postmaster
G. R. Foster of Redden, Okla, has
mailed advice to this city that a lost
boy has been seen in the mountains
near his town, and that he appears
to be about 10 years old, and runs
away from anyone approaching him.
No report has been made in his com
munity of a lost boy and this would
make it appear that>he is lost and
wandering from one locality to anoth-
er. His tracks show that he yet has
his shoes on, and this indicates that
he has not been lost for long period
of time \ searching party is being
made up to 90 into the mountains
and capture him, so Mr.. Foster
states.

It Weighs So Much That It Will be
Difficult to Garry.

]. B. Harrell, the pioneer insurance
man of this country, is here from
Oklahoma City. Several months ago
Mr.. Harrell promised John Pirtle, the
handy negro who has always been
with Tom Roberts barber shop, that
he would bring him a watch on his
next trip. He came the next trip
and forget the watch, but he gave
John a quarter and for several trips
he neglected the watch, but he gave
John a quarter each time, until the
sum OF money amounted to about So.
The agreement was that the negro
wear the watch and chain or return
the money. He brought the watch on
this trip. 1t is an Ingerson and meas
ures twelve inches across the dial
and weighs about ten pounds, and
the chain has links three inches in

trace-chain to be used in moving
houses. Whether John will carry the
watch or dig up the SO he has not
decided vet. He can't carry II and
shine shoes and dust hats and clean
bath tubs. but he possibly might car
~ it on the streets, as he goes to
