the city lake when the water went
over the spillway during the recent
heavy rain period. j. II. Smith with

weighed four and half pounds, and
the one fish represented only portion
of his catch.
Many of those who fish at the lake
are anxious to see the city do some

say, amply Justify the expenditure Of
a sufficient sum to put the road in

LOOKS BAD
FOR ALLEGED
WHITE SLAYER
IF ALLEGATIONS ARE TRUE,
SOME RADICAL MEASURES WILL
BE ADOPTED, SAY CITY AND
COUNTY OFFICERS.

When the preliminary hearing of
the man, Neeley, alleged white SLAYER
who is now confined in the county
Jail, takes place, it is likely to reveal
a condition of affairs said to exist
in this city which will make citizens
sit up and take notice.
If the allegations against this man
are true, he is in for a stretch, and
more than likely certain resorts will
be closed-and closed permanently.
The county attorney and the chief o.
police believe they have a strong
case against this man, and as soon
as they have gathered the evidence
they are after, will give him a chance
to explain his attitude in court.
There are certain conditions said to
exist on the east side, despite laws
and DEGREES of court that are rapidly
becoming a nuisance to the law-abid-
ing citizens, and the city and county
officers have made up their minds
that these resorts shall no longer be
a meeting place for toughs and crook
ed characters, who hesitate at nothing
short of actual murder to get by.
That locality, never any too sayory,
has become an actual stencil, and the
officials have about decided that
moving day" is at hand, and that
the frequenters of these resorts, who
never did on honest days work in
their lives, are going to have to do
little hustling for themselves if
they stay in Ardmore. The police
court docket has been burdened TOR
years with the names of these char
acters, who were picked up in this
district for fighting, disturbing the
peace, or relieving a rural visitor Of
his bank roll, and the police have
decided that the city can get along
in future without their presence.
