AS MAKER
OF LIQUOR
'Moonshine" Plant Discovered in
House at MaysvilIe with Ten
Gallons Of Product; Some
Still Warm

Deputy Jim Dillon of the United
States marshal's office brought to
Chickasha this morning and lodged in
the Grady county jail one l.. A. Leon
ard, charged with 4moonshine"
making.
Leonard was arrested at Maysville,
in Garvin county, by Sheriff Raborne
and deputies, and Deputy Dillon, and
taken to Pauls Valley. where he was
held in Jail until brought to Chickasha
by the latter officer.
When arrested Leonard was not
making whiskey, but made no denial
Of tho fact that ne had been engaged
in the manufacture Of headache and
fight producer without sanction of the
United States government.
Although not actually engaged in the
distilling of liquor when the officers
arrived at his place, the defendant had
in his possession about ten gallons of
the fruit of the still, part of that
amount being yet warm.
Leonard had his plant in his resi-
dence in Maysville. The officers took
charge of two 60-galIon tubs of mash,
nicely fermented; about ten gallons Of
white corn whisky, hotter than that
land of which the oldtime. cornfield
preachers told, and strong enough to
throw a giant with three drinks; two
big wash kettles of iron and a worm
which was doing business in a large
barrel
Leonard had not, so far as the Off
GERS have been able to learn. sold any
of the fruits of his illicit distilling, the
whiskey captured evidently being the
result of his first run.
The case came to the attention OF
the Garvin county officers through
complaints of neighbors of Leonard
who claimed that there must be "some-
thing doing at his house on account
of the amount of corn and water he
had been seen carrying into the prem
ises. coupled with the fact that he was
always cooking something"
A peculiar feature of the face lies
in the fact that Leonard and United
States deputy marshal we're raised II
the same neighborhood in West Vir
ginia. were playmates in boyhood and
later worked together in the same Goa
fields, finally coming to Oklahoma al
the same time and on the same train
Leonard will probably be arraignec
before United States Commissioner
Eugene Hamilton next Tuesday. Nc

Young people on summer outings were admonished to have a care as to the acquaintances they form and parents were advised to watchfulness for their children's welfare.

 the obligation of attending mass on Sunday. Father Broderick said he had been pleased in other seasons to note the large number of those who, if they needed boat or trolley outing on Sunday, made point of punctual- ly attending the early mass.
 He preached from the epistle for the Sunday, St. Paul to the Romans, vi. 3-11, That as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. This means that if men heretofore have of- tended God, they must make repara- tion by practicing for the future those virtues which are the opposites of their past failings.
 The members of the Immaculate Conception society and of the Young Ladies Sodality led the nine or ten hundred persons to whom holy com munion was given by Father Broder- ick, assisted by Rev. Myles P. Calvin.

MAKING ARMS FOR EUROPE.
Moral ouestion InvoIved-Bis Divi'
 dends Blind Christians.

At the First Congregational church Sunday morning the decorations were suggestive of the day: a large flag was draped in front of the pulpit and red roses were used. Rev. G. H. Ew-- ing took for his subject the moral consideration involved in the manu- facture of arms and munitions of war for Europe. Since April large orders have been sent to this country for ex- plosiyes. he said. Large organizations are turning from the manufacture of peace implements to those of war. Christians are subscribing to issues for enlarging this business. Is 1t right? Big dividends blind vision Are Americans money mad? Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a re- proach to any people. We proclaim neutrality, but we are no longer neu- tral- Play fair! Treat both sides alike. Wrong does not become right in the light of results. The United States is the only one of the great powers that can furnish arms, there fore the responsibility is tremendous. Let us purge ourselves of the in- iquity and come before the Lord with clean hands. This is Patriots day. True patriotism means love to our God, our country and our world.

Saying goodbye to his wife and going down a short distance from the grass where they had been sitting and talking together, Nicholas Kinonochic 22 years of age. jumped oft the dam at the lower end of PeQuot village, Montville, on Sunday afternoon, and his body was not recovered from the pond until an hour later, when all efforts to revive him were unayailing In the absence for the day of Medical Examiner Dr. Morton D Fox. of Montville, Coroner Franklin H. Brown of this city was called over from his summer home at Gales Ferry, ex- amined the remains, and talked with people who had been in the neighbor- hood of the drowning. His verdict was that 1t was a case of accidental drowning. At the same time, from the information that could be ex- plained from his young wife, who could speak little English, and furth- ermores was prostrated and was put to bed after the fatality, and from what several people who were nearby when the young man made for the poned, only a few rods from the stone house where he and his wife lived, and fully dressed, plunged off into 24 feet of water. there is some evidence to believe that the drowning was suicidal.

Bank Commissioner Preparing Index System In Order to Keep Them on File,

Bank Commissioner B. J. Sturxes has made arrangements for the carrying out of the law, passed at the last session, which places on the bank commissioners the duty of arranging in. alphabetical order, and in keeping on file, where they may be inspected by the public, the lists of deposits in savings banks which have not been claimed for twenty years The card index system will be used in the arrangement of the names of the depositors. The banks have until July 10 to pre- pare the lists and submit them to the bank commissioner. When the fact is considered that the number of names will reach into the thou sands the magnitude of the work will be appreciated But Commits sioner Sturges expects to have the wsrk finished by August 1 when the completed index will be ready for public inspection.
 Before the law was changed this year the banks were required to hand the lists to the comptroller who placed them on file just as they were prepared by the banks. Now each bank is required to have the list printed in a newspaper published in the town in which the bank is located or in a newspaper having a circulation in the town.

DAYS OF BILLY SUMNER
 AND LIGHTNING JACK Ti5BITs.
"Reminiscences of Old Incidents at Vale
 and In New London.

This clipping from the Hartford Courant of July 1st is of considerable Local interest inasmuch as the late John A. Tibbits was the founder of the Connecticut house of representa- tives and consul to Bradford, Eng, and was well known in Norwich:
 Memories.
 To the Editor of the Courant:
 Browsing on the editorial page of the Courant some days ago. I came upon this reference to dear Billy Sumner: High protectionists were loud in their call to have the free war-torn world vanishes away; the nineteenth century was back again. Again saw Tutor Sumner Che wasn't professor yetl, his big pipe in. his mouth, and the very next minute saw Jack Tibbits.
 Tibbits was the Yale man who once said-in the fervor of spellbinding- that it were better the old college should be consumed by fire on the face Of the earth than go on poisoning the minds of American youth against the protective tariff. Of course he didn't really mean 1t. Had flames broken out on the campus and he been around, Tibbits would have been one of the first and most active of the volunteer firemen.
 When saw him again in this remi- niscenee, he was once more sitting across. the table in Governor Walters old law office at New London; the street life of that delectable town was pulsing to and fro under the windows. He and True Thomas were telling me of a surprise and 6 joke which they as chairmen of the local political cam paign committees = republican and democratic-had put up on New Lon don's "f1oaters." The short of 1t was that neither party bought vote on election day. The "fioaters" loitered around with growing wonderment and anxiety until the close of the polls; then they went their way, sedder and thirstier men.
 His New London admirers used to call Tibbits Lightning Jack" "Elec- trio Jack and names like that They did not foresee that in the time to come their town was to produce a Bryan Mahan.
