RICH INDIAN
IN The STATE
PEN|TENT|ARY
ROYALTIES FROM OIL LANDS
WILL MAKE HIM NEARLY A MIL
LlONAlRE BY THE TIME HE
GAINS HIS LIBERTY.

Irony plays a conspicuous part in
the life of one Choctaw lnIan who is
now serving the second year of Il
twenty-five year sentence for killing
an Indian woman during the summer
of 1912
Irony from the fact that the lands
allotted to this Indian are now in the
very heart Of the oil fields at Heald-
ton and his royalties which at the
present time amount to over one hun
dred dollars per day are being guard
ed by the government against the
Hickman Willis, young Mississippi
Choctaw Indian 32 years of age, was
brought from his native state, Missis-
sippi, few years ago, and allotted
200 acres of land near Healdton which
is now under lease by the Coline com.
pany which recently disposed of their
leases for one million dollars. The
property is in the very heart of the
proven field and is considered the
most valuable so far developed.
Willis, like a majority of his people,
had a weakness for "firewater," and
while he was sober, was as docile as
could be desired, when under the in
fluence of liquor was "A fiend incar-
nate and dangerous for his own as well
as other people. Previous to the kill
ing of the Indian woman for which he
is now serving sentence, he killed an
other Indian boy during a drunken
brawl but for some reason he was ac-
quilted of this charge by a jury. He
was not at liberty long, however, be-
fore he was again taken into custody
for the reason above stated. and is
now serving his sentence while wealth
is accumulating every day to his cred
it.
After leasing his allotment to the
Coline company, he sold his surplus,
consisting of half his acreage, and
there is where he made a mistake,
for the land disposed of outright is the
richest in oil of all, and had he kept
this, his daily income would have been
over $1,000 daily instead of 800.
The warden reports that Willis is
a model prisoner and will get lot of
good time" he has a wife and two
children who are being cared for by
the Indian agent, who also has charge
Of his royalties.
With an income of $36,5OO per year,
and with a likelihood that it will be
materially increased when the wells
are drilled to lower sand, 1t is in
teresting to conjecture what he will
do with his money in the event the
department deems him competent to
handle 1t.

Matthews says he has been consider
ing putting in a yard here, but since
his old friend, Graves Leeper, has
come to Ardmore, it will not do for
him to come too.
In speaking OF cotton in Montague
county Mr.. Matthews said the crop
conditions are poor. Bowie marketed
21 900 bales last year and will not
market more than 5000 this year.
This reduction is due to the ravages
of the boil weevil. The farmers in
that section are doing poorly, on ac-
count of the loss of a large portion
of the cotton crop. The collections
there this fall are about one-third
as good as they were a year ago.

about six feet. The seats are leather
upholstered comfortable opera chairs,
and it will be possible for any person

the head of those in the fourth row

good one
The finishing touches to this mod
rapidly as possible. Painters and
decorators are very busy and the
interior will present a very pleasing
view, for the color scheme is old rose
and old gold All the scenery and
stage equipment is installed and in
good working order. The entire
front Of this building will be covered
with ornamental plastic relief and
stucco work and painted white, which
will indeed make a very pretty front.
The Ardmore Amusement company,
which is composed of men who live
in Ardmore, has spent several thou

ing into a modern theatre, and Ard

that such a theatre will be opened in

built especially for their benefit. The
will always be clean and
aggressive, the shows will be of the
highest character on the road, and 1t
will place Ardmore in the front rank
as a city of amusements.

funds that can be spared, that the
proper channels to turn the surplus

Believed That Magic City
Is Cleanest In The
Entire South
CLEAN Up" BIC SUCCESS
Health Officials Determin-
ed To Keep City In Per
feet Condition

Boealusa has just reasons fol
claiming to be the most sanitary
city in the state of Louisiana, if not
the entire South, as the result of
the Clean Up campaign ended Sat-
urday evening.
That the Clean Up was done in
the typical Bogalusa spirit is best
shown by the conditions of the
back yards of the city, in particular.
Before the back yards in all parts
of the city had been cleaned others
were at work identifying the front
yards and Bogalusa will soon be
claiming the laurels for the city
with the prettiest front yards.
Mayor Sullivan was more than
pleased with the success of the
clean up as we'll as Dr.. Cole, of the
City Board of Health. The hearty
cooperation received from all Boga.
lusians in this civic matter has
caused favorable comment, not
only by the citizens, but by visitors
who we're attracted by manner in
which everyone was attempting to
place their premises in perfect sani-
tary condition.
TO KEEP CLEAN
A special effort will be made in
the future by the City Health Off
Gals to see that no rubbish or gar
bage accumulates in the city. The
city ordinance will be enforced, but
the officials anticipate scarcely any
trouble in keeping the city in per-
feet sanitary conditions as all
citizens know that it is to the in
terest of all to keep Bogalusa spot
less clean.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL

|
by fire, by war, commissions of ma
ture and ferocities of man, overturl
suddenly the accustomed order, an,
each individual acts according t,
what is in him. 1t is hard to keel
your head about you when tn,
foundations are reported. Som,
men become towards, some heroes
some momentarily insane. Blu
whenever such a disaster is record
ed in the newspapers, there is al
ways one figure that remains fixed
the same story is always told abou,
one of the characters in it
and it is always a story OF
GOODNESS in the midst of FRENZY
devotion to duty when duties are
forgotten with everything else. in
variable courage where the courage
of other human beings. varies very
much. A humble figure, not melted
by high pecuniary reward or the
hope of fame; the figure of the tele-
phone girl.
The dam breaks at Austin and
the water sweeps down the valley,
wiping out houses and leaving a
bare space where they had been. A
telephone girl sees it coming, stays
at her post and rapidly gives warn
ing to as many as she can. The
great flood of 1918 wrecks Dayton,
Columbus, and the other Ohio cities;
but the telephone girl, with her
whole accustomed world rushing
down around her, stays in the
heart of the flood, working night
and day, cool headed, intrepid, not
in the least appalled,, giving warn
ing that others may flee, and when
warning is no longer needed still
staying there to report the progress
of the waters and give information
where help is to be sent. In every
disaster the story is always the
same.
1t is the uniformity, the entire
lack of any exception to the rule,
that makes the story of the tele-
phone girl in times of stress so note
worthy. And with this long record
back of her, there is nothing sur
Drisins in the story that came from !
Belgium at the beginning of the war
If the telephone girl at Dahlen, or
