BEE TROUTT ACQUITTED OF
 MURDER CHARGE

Several Springdale citizens were called to Greenwood last week as character witnesses in the case of the State of kansas ys John Slankard and Bee Trout Bee and Slankard were chared with the killing of two men in the recent strike war in the coal mining district near Fort Smith. The case created quite a little inter- est in Springdale, as Bee is a form CT Springdale boy, being raised and educated here He was hard work ing, and straightforward boy, and his arrest on such charge was quite a surprise to the people of Springdale. Those making the trip from here were: Mayor l. T. Lane, NJ. Berry, Lee Sanders, Dr. D. Christian, J. F. Harris, N. H. Searcy, Chas. Smyer, A. NJ. Reed and W. l.. Stokes.
 The case proved to be almost travesty on justice, as there was ab- solutely no testimony tending to show that Bee or Slankard killed the men, and it is now the belief of those directly connected and ac- quainted with the details of the case that the bones found in the cabin reported to be human bones, were the bones of some animal, and that ID men were killed during the bat Itle The states ease was based solely ca the testimony of one man. and his story was of the anbelieF- able kind. The jury wasted very lit Itle time in returning a verdict clear Iine Front and Slankard of the crime.

HERE'S A TRUE OKLAHOMA
 FISH STORY

Local fishermen will be interested i'll the following clipping from the Muskogee Phoenix, of January 9th, telling the tale of cat fish caught in Grand River in Oklahoma. by an old Springdale boy, Cash Pratt. The article included a picture of the wonderful catch, evidence that it was real story. and not imagina- tive. Here's the story:
 A fish that weighs more than half ton is SOME fish.
 That's the size of the fish caught day before yesterday by C. l.. Pratt, banker and real estate man Of Salina. Okla, in the Grand River at that place, MT. Pratt is well known in Muskogee Being proud ot his catch and still not anxious to hay his word doubted by the horde of unbelievers who are always waiting to shout fish story he unwound the monster on a Salina sidewalk and snapped picture.
 The size Of the monster can be pretty well ascertained by this pie tafe, which bears out the dimen- sions that AIr. Pratt furnished the Phoenix It is a mud eat, little more than fourteen feet in length. When lying on the sidewalk. the height of the fish was measured at just an inch short of two feet. It more than foot across The big fias are as= dangerous as a sword.
 NJ. Pratt caught the fish in pc e1Iiar manner He happened to be driving along the river bank when he sa0 the eat stranded on rifle. fhe weieht=of it's biz body lad evi- denHy carried the fish so higf on tae rifle that it was unable to get of. Pratt got team Of horses and q long rope. He waded out to the fish, tied him by the fins and through the mouth and the horses pulled monster 70 the shore.
 That what MrZ Pratt saxs.. No ena who sees the picture has right to doubt his word The fish is the largest ever caught in Oklahoma. II is probably hundreds of years old.

 Let us hear from you at once as to what you want. the kind and the number.

 BUYS GASOLINE TRACTOR

Guy U. McDaFid5 one of the pro. zressiYe orchard men of this section. has added very important piece of machinery to his already well im= proved orchard and farm outfit. This week a.=Bun Tractor engine was lnloaded here for Mr. Mcpayid and he proposes to make the same use Of it that he would mules or horses. The tractor is gasoline engine, mounted on wheels. and can be used fir every phase Of farm and orchard work The traeter equals the pull ing strength of five horses. and tray- els somewhat faster than the average horse walks. The tractor may be lsed for blowing, or as stationary engine. The tractor is mounted on three wheels, two of which run in the hard smooth farrow. and one on the stubble It is aaso equipped with q leveling device, allowing il to be operated oa hill sides The motor E tw9.eylinder, faar-cycle. water cooled type The feature that ap- 9eals strongest to Mr McDayid is tao fact that the machine only eats when it works, and gasoline at that; and during the disagreeable, un= workable weather does not need feeding three times a day, nor con stant care and attention. He will use the tractor almost exclusively ilring th coming seas son.

 The Prospect.
 h December of last year. Earl Weir, who resides in the Mount Com fort neighborhood was drilling well for water Al depth of 280 feet the driilers struck a strong flow of gas. as we'll as a good supply et water. Thewell was eased. and temporarily capped, and q small pipe run from the we'll into the home of Mr. Weir. which now furnishes him with a ready supply Of natural gas His home is now fittedwith gas fix lures throughout The cook stove has gas fixture, whereby all cook ing is done by gas, and the heaters in the other rooms are arranged the same way, and all rooms have the1r respective gas lamps The flow from this we'll is especially strong, and has been estimated by competent parties to be ,000 GOO cubic feet The well has never been properly cased, and the gas is now forcing It way through forty foot of water The well has never been shot, and the drilling was done with four foot we'll drill All indications show that the formation of the earth through which the drill passed, is the same formation as found in the large gas and oil fields in Oklaho- ma and Kansas. The gas and oil sand as well as the rock cap were drilled through before the supply of gas was struck The well was drilled on December ,, and the gas has shown no tendencies up to the present time of stopping. The flow of gas, with the pressure sounds very much like escaping steam from large locomotive. The well lies Tn sort of valley, but is very conven- iantly located to MT Weirs house.
 Some two weeks later the same drillers were at work on the farm in that same section owned by the heirs of ]. P. Thomas. At d depth of 22t3a feet an extra strong flow of gas was struck. and this well was capped. The gas is also piped to the resi- dence, and is there used for lights and cooking and heating purposes. In this well is found 65 feet of wat CT. and through this the gas forces it's way to the surface. The cap ping of the we'll is yeryrude, large piee of leather belting has been plac- cd over the outlet of the casing, and on top of this is piled well drill bits, heavy drill wrenches, railroad ties, and almost every conceivable weigh ty material to be found around farm. It was difficult at first to cap this well, as nothing could be found heavy enough to hold the pres sure. and at the time the well was being drilled match was touched to the gas, and flamed almost forty feet into the air. The flow of gas at this well is almost as strong as at the well on the Weir farm, and the well IS lOcdleu diiuoSl oh 'op VI !" large hill This well has never been shot. but the gas is coming forth with a strong and persistent pres sure. It has been running for all most four weeks, and shows no signs of weakening.
