OuISly you remember ELd6, the HI
tie factory girl who brought $4,000
breach of promise suit against James
W., thinking him Oliver Osborne,
who, she claims, made~lO to her,
promising marriage.
Oliver is wanted by Rae Tanner
herself and by her sisters who iden-
titled James w. as Oliver, the plumb
er Don JUAN" and then recanted the
Identification before the grand jury.
Here is a description of the missing
Oliver whom we all want, furnished
by James w. Osborne, one of the
small number of persons who claim
to have seen him in the flesh.
''He is a fine outstanding figure of
a man," James W. testified about his
false friend. HE is about 5 feet II
inches high and weighs about 200
pounds. He is straight and hand
some, well dressed and vigorous, with
a straight nose and blue eyes"
No wonder that the tiny Tanner
girl fell for Oliver! Little Rae, the fac
tory girl, still the central figure in
the comedy of the two OsbOrnes, is
only about 5 feet tall.
No wonder that the federal district
attorney possesses love letters writ
ten by Oliver to six other girls, all Of
whom admit that he won their young
affections! A Greek god! A young
viking is Oliver Osborne. And yet
this paragon has vanished completely
from the face of the earth!
This years greatest legal battle of
wits in New York city took place
when Martin LittletOn crOss-exam-
ined James w. Osborne for eight
hours in the hope of eiciting more in
formation as to Oliver.
Prior to this time James w. o.
borne had received several letters
from Rae Tanner, whom he had nev-
er seen, demanding that he marry
her. Then the SIade brothers teIe-
phoned him and they also demanded
that he wed their client. noThvvTf1

Ardmore been as clear of old rubbish

FRUIT CROP
IS SLIGHTLY
DAMAGED
SOME MAINTAIN THAT THE CROP
WILL BE SHORT, WHILE 9TH
ERS SAY THE COLD WEATHER
HAD NO EFFECT.

With the passing of last night when
it did not freeze after the snow of
yesterday, fruit growers here say that
the crop has been but slightly injured
if at all, and some maintain that the
cold weather was had no effect what
ever upon the crop, however, the
chances are that good crop will be
gathered here this year, as in all prob
ability cold weather that would injure
the fruit, will not come again this
season.
Nurserymen who have operated in
this section for the past year, report
good business and many OF the
smaller farms are adding an orchard
to their places. The absence of or
ganization has been a drawback to
the growers close to Ardmore es'
pecially in the marketing of the crop,
they have made several fine shipments
in the past that have paid well, but
could have realized more from their
crop had it been markeued systemat
ically. The fruit growers are talking
OF organizing this season in the hope

other states enjoy. The question of

soon as local conditions warrant the
outlay.
The truck growers have organized
here and are getting ready to ship
4 lot of produce the coming season,
their first venture will be melons,
and they believe that they will make a
success of this from the fact that the
south Texas crop will be over with
about the time the crop here is ready

local grown melons are firm. of good

Allies Celebrate Victory.

London, March 23.-The long in
vestment of the mid Galician fortress
of Przemysl has ended. Depleted
by disease, subsisting on horse flesh
and surrounded by superior force
OF Russians, the garrison has sur
rendered to the besieging army after
defense lasting many months, which
up to the present is recorded as Aus
tria's most noteworthy contribution
to the war.
Petrograd. London and Paris are
celebrating the event tonight-Petro-
grad and Paris in the spontaneous
manner characteristic of these cities,
and London with silent and grim
satisfaction, which is the Briton's
way.
The newspapers assert that the fall
of the fortress marks the most i'm
portant capture of the war, not ex-
cepting Antwerp, in that it not only
releases considerable Russian forces
which can be thrown into the fluc-
tuating struggle in the Carpathians,
but opens the door to Cracow and the
plains of Hungary.
1t is argued, moreover that the
moral effect of the surrender will be
tremendous, the theory of the allies
being that it will stimulate feeling
in their favor both in Roumania and
Bulgaria Just as the operations in
the Dardanelles are causing an agi-
tation in Greece and Italy
The Italian situation is receiving
renewed attention by the press Of the
allies, though rumors rather than
facts seem to be the basis of most of
the dispatches. The Italian embassy
at London had no confirmation to-
night of the report that freight traf-
fic between Italy and Germany by
way OF Switzerland had been stopped
nor was there any confirmation of
the reported massing of Austrian
and German troops along the Austrian
littoral or the assembling of artillery
at Trieste.

ing begun about Sept. 16, something

ton of the siege compared with the
length of time it took the Germans

causes, one being the desire of the
Russians TO keep the loss of life
among the besieging army at a min

is worth about $4,000, consisting of
$4,000 worth of stock in the Berwyn
bank, a home in Berwyn, and a farm
near there on the Washita river. Five
years ago he gave F. w. Fisher a let
ter with the request that ii be not
opened until after his death. Mr..
Fisher opened the letter this morning.
1t made the request that his body be
sent to Fort Smith for burial. He has
a son buried there and a daughter
who lives in that city. Mr. Fisher
wired the Norman parties to embalm
the body and hold it for orders, and
wired the daughter, notifying her.
Mr., Scheppey was a German. He
was a most excellent citizen. He was
a charter member of the Masonic
lodge organized a great many years
ago at Dougherty.
