COUNTY GETS JUDGMENT.
Former LeFlore County Treasurer
Was $4,000 Short.

Poteau.-After one Of the hardest
fought cases in the state courts in
which an insurance company was in
terested, judgment has been rendered
in the LeFlore county district court
against ]. H. Hinton, former county
treasurer, for $4,000 The Southern
Surety Company Of Muskogee was on
Hinton's bond, and the insurance COM
pany was named In the suit with Hin
ton for the recovery of the judgment,
Hinton as county treasurer retired
from office last July, and 1t was
claimed he was $4,000 behind in his
accounts with the county. The short
age is also partially charged to the
closing of the Choctaw county bank in
which the county funds we're on de-
poslt, but an $4,000 bond for the pro-
lection of the county funds was found
to be worthless. Hinton has some val
liable property and II Is understood
this will be taken toward satisfying
the judgment just rendered against
him.

ENID PUSHES IRRIGATION PLANT
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS AN
ACRE FROM STRAWBERRIES
Large Area Is Underlaid With mex
haustibe Stratum Of Water
Bearing Sand.

Several hundred acres are being irri-
gated from wells in the vicinity of
Enid. Beneath the city and extend
ing for many miles on each side, is a
water-bearing layer of gravel and sand
at a depth of about twenty-eight to
forty feet. In some places it rises to
within twenty feet of the surface. This
stratum carries an almost inexhaust-
ible supply of water Some years ago
Enid installed a pumping station,
which supplies the city with about
100000 gallons of pure water daily
The capacity of the wells is 100000
gallons. Progressive farmers took the
hint from this station and expert
mented with wells for irrigation pur-
poses. In every instance the wells
have supplied more than sufficient
water to keep the pumps busy. 1t is
thought that fully 10000 acres in the
immediate vicinity of Enid could be
profitably irrigated from wells
Charles King. whose cherries won
gold medal at St. Louis, was one
of the first to irrigate at Enid. He
has installed an eight-horse-power gas
cline engine, pumping 300 gallons a
minute through a centrifugal pump
and he irrigates twenty acres. This
plant cost him $500. 1t costs him about
50 an acre to irrigate thoroughly. His
lift is twenty eight feet. AS an Illus
tration what irrigation will do, Mr..
King told the writer that he gave a
two acre field of potatoes four-inch
watering once and they yielded 200
bushels an acre and sold for $1,25 a
bushel. He has two large storage res
ervoirs which he keeps filled, with a
windmill. He uses this water when
there is especial need of it. The
ponds are stocked with bass.
Aroma strawberries on the King
farm brought $500 an acre off two

week. Mr.. King irrigated as long
ago as 1893, when he sold enough cab
bage off two acres to pay for wind
mill and pond and had a balance of
$3.50 left.
Principal stress is laid on his or
chard by Mr.. King. His apple trees
two years ago yielded 5000 bushels Of
choice fruit off Is acres which-seld- at
from $1.25 to $3.50 bushel. Some
stored Winesaps and Black Twigs
brought So bushel after being held
till April. 1t was not unusual to pick
fourteen to fifteen bushels of perfect
Winesaps off one tree though the or
chard is only sixteen years old. The
orchard received three applications of
water in 1911 and this year it was wa
tered FIVE times. 1t has large crop
of good fruit. The orchard has had
four consecutive. crops since irriga-
ton has been depended on to raise
fruit on the King farm. Peaches and
pears also responded we'll to irriga-
ton. There is a five-acre block of
Montmorency cherries in which not a
tree is missing. 1t has been irrigated
whenever the condition of the soil
required it. 1t is just coming into bear
ing and its owner says there is no
better crop for the Enid section. He
intends to plant 1000 more cherry
trees.
J. L. Fisher raised $103 worth of
lettuce with irrigation on a patch
forty by forty feet OF another piece
twenty-five feet square he raised $45
worth of lettuce one season. He uses
city water which costs him for his
whole garden not to exceed $12.85 a
year. Mr.. Fisher follows lettuce with
radishes. He has particular success
with the Icicle which sells for 80 to
40 cents dozen at Enid stores, at
any time of the season. Mr.. Fisher
combines two systems of irrigation.

Mcdonald Gets or With Fine Of $50.

Alva Mcdonald OF Ell Reno. chair
man Of the state central progressive
committee, was finally cleared of the
charge OF killing F. T. Marsh in FL
Reno in November, 1912, in an opinion
by the criminal court OF appeals.
At his trial in the lower court Nc
Donald enttred a plea of guilty of
manslaughter in the second degree
and was fined $50 by District Judge
John ]. Carney. The fine was assessed
by the court over the objection Of the
county attorney of Canadian county,
who contended that Mcdonald should
be tried before a jury on the charge
of murder, and appealed to the Grim
inal court for an order directing Nc
Donalds trial before jury.
The opinion of the higher court,
which was written by Judge Henry
NJ. Furman, holds that the lower court
has the power without the consent of
the prosecuting attorney, to accept the
plea and fix the fine without inter
venton by jury.
Mcdonald struck Marsh with his
fist in a quarrel on the streets of FL
Reno, the latter dying either as re-
suit Of the blow or injuries received
