Doc Cook Moved Here.

Doc w. NJ Cook has shown his
faith in Ardmore as an oil town by
moving his family here, He was
purchasing school books last night,
and will place three of his children
in school at once. He moved his
family from Montpelier Ind, and
occupies the home at 112 A street,
southwest. He owns a home at
Electra, Tex, and also owns ranch
of more than 1000 acres in Texas,
but he has chosen Ardmore as a
place to live. He is producer of
oil and also has an investment in oil
well machinery, and he is of the
opinion that other fields will be
found here, and that Ardmore will
be the oil headquarters of the. south
ern portion of the state for many
years to come.

REDUCING COTTON ACREAGE.
Marshall County Home of Big Wheat
Growers.

George H. Wyatt, who was here
yesterday afternoon from Madill,
states that in the eastern portion of
Marshall county it is his informa-
tion that the cotton acreage will be
materially reduced.
On. farmer who has always plant
ed from 100 to $50 acres of cotton,
will reduce his acreage this year
to five acres and this farmer states
that the same sentiment prevails
generally with reference to the east
ern portion of the county
Marshall county has some of the
finest wheat land there is in the
state, that county also has big
oat acreage each year, and inasmuch
as it is certain that wheat, oats,
corn, ETC., will bring big prices this
summer and fall, it seems the part
of good judgment for Marshall county
to devote its energies to the raising
of these crops.

| lowed to sell but very little oil. The
oil has been taken from the Crosbie
lease in section 5-4-3 and Mr.. Cros-
| bic owns one-half of the plant. If
the oil is pro rated the Crosbie lease
will be allowed to furnish approx
mately 20 barrels a day.
The new oil bill states very plainly
that oil taken from a common pool
must be pro rated as to the produc-
ers in that, pool, and the refinery
would either be forced to obtain an
exemption from the terms of the law
or purchase oil from all the producers
of the feld-or close down. Pro
ducers who adjoin the Crosbie lease
would not agree that an exemption
be granted unless they, too, would
a corresponding quantity of oil and
place it in steel storage. The law
prohibits the storage of oil. and If
producers should be allowed to store
oil it would break the backbone OF
the law in the field, and put each
man to making sacrifices to care for
his lease.
Here is another feature that enters
into the production of oil: If A
and b. own leases touching each other
and A. takes oil from the sand and
stores it, or sells it, and B does
not, the owner of the royalty of the
B. lease can make b. pay to him his |
royalty lost by A. taking from the |
pool, when B. did not take out any. |
The producer is not always his own |
boss and cannot dc as he pleases, |
with reference to the owner of the
royalty.

COSSAckS OUTWlTTED
BY ST. LOUIS WOMAN


st. Louis, Feb. S.-Mrs Ray Bonze
of St Louis, who recently returned
from trip to Galicia, told today OF
her escape from Russian soldiers, who
invaded that country. Mrs. Bonze
went to Jadlowa, Galicia, to visit rela.
tives. Twenty-four hours after her ar.
rival she was with party of twenty
five school girl friends when word was
received that Russians were approach
ing. The party fled to the woods. See
ing no Russians, they started back.
When she reached the home of her
parents, she learned that an advance
guard of Russians had entered the
town, but had been driven back. Mrs.
Bonze, her parents and three brothers,
went to the top of nearby hill and
watched an infantry battle.
Returning home they hid in a eel
lar. Mrs. Bonze said that at night
Cossacks came, seized her father. took
all his money and gagged him, his
wife and his three sons. Finally Mrs.
Bonze told them that she had the
cholera, and the Cossacks departed
quickly.
The family remained in the cellar
four days Again Cossacks sought ad-
mittance, but were frightened away
by the statement of Mrs. Bonze that
she had cholera.
Mrs. Bonze donned her mothers
dress. took a cane, hobbled through
the Russian lines unmolested, and
went to Tarnoff. where her uncle as.

WRANGLE FOR
YEARS WITH
A HOG CASE
IN WHICH FARMERS SPEND A BIG
SUM OF MONEY-CASE is FINAL
LY DECIDED IN THE SUPREME
COURT.

Arapaho, Okla, Feb. 7.-One Custer
county hog OF the value of $l2 caused
chain of law suits in this county
caused large sum of money to be
spent, and animosities without end.
Five years ago w. F. Cabness, a
wealthy farmer of Custer county, was
loading a car of hogs at Clinton to
ship, when Hardin Myers, one of his
well-to.do neighbors came up and point
ed out hog, claiming it to be his, and
at the point of gun demanded pos
session. The officers were notified
and Myers was arrested and fined $25
and costs.
Then Myers started in the justice
court at Clinton a suit to replevin the
hog, a lawsuit which has been fought
bitterly for five years ending recent
ly in the supreme court of the state.
The jury in the justice court rendered
a verdict in favor of plaintiff Myers,
and the case was appealed to the coun-
ty court, where a jury again decided
in favor of Myers, but the judgment
was set aside by the court and a new
trial granted.
The third jury trial resulted in
verdict for defendant 'Cabiness, from
which an appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court.
In the meantime, one of the attor
neys for plaintiff made statements ac-
cusing the sheriff of corruption in sum-
moning a special venire for the third
trial, which so angered the sheriff that
he attacked the attorney and inflicted
punishment which later cost him $500
in a damage suit filed by the attor-
ney
The case bids fair to compare favor
ably with the famous Missouri hog
case, when all the expenses are fgur-
ed up.
The court costs amount to $2S7.44,
and the attorneys fees over $500, there
having been nine different attorneys
employed from first to last on both
sides. The total costs to the litigants
amount to over 81 100, outside of sew
eral hundred dollars expenses, which
it cost the county in jury fees
Tie supreme court, in affirming the
decision of the third trial and which
was handed down this week, said:
"The ownership of his hogship was
a much-mooted question, numerous
witnesses swearing that he belonged
to the plaintiff, and an equal number
swearing that he belonged to the de-
fendant. The testimony would sup
port a verdict for either side. We are
therefore constrained to hold the YER
dict for the defendant is supported by
the evidence"
Thus ended the long and bitter liti.
cation over a twelve-dollar hog His
hogship was sold in 1911 and eaten by
consumers, who probably
failed to register a protest against the
nigh cost of living.

No indications of oil were found af-

AlAskA's CHIEF SPORT.

Since long before the days forty centuries ago when old King Menes hurled the javelin in friendly rivalry with his warrior chiefs, mankind throughout the ages and regardless ot race or cline. has at all times been more or less interested in sports. Tests of strength skill and deXterity have ever furnished strong appeal and hardly the nation of which we have authentic record but had it's heroes who owed their prestige to their ability which the people of their race were most devoted.
 In the days when Greece was at the height of national grandeur. and her reputation for martial deeds had been almost forgotten in the subsequent brilliant period of intellectuality and culture. the inherent love of the human race for feats of strength. skill and endurance found expression in the fam
 
 whose laurel crowned heroes have been preserved even to the present day. In Greece. perhaps more than any other nation of which We have record, sports reached the highest development and were regarded with an interest by the people to which all other interests were la- l. .f,o f, chief event, to wear the bays of victory won on tho athletic field, was to he the idol of tho nation, to be lifted to a pin nacle of greatness before which the famo of scholar. poet, philosopher and warrior paled into insignificance Through the succeeding ages, the fame of those who eXcelled in the national sports of the many nations have been preserved and show most conclusively friendly rivalries of peace Many cen- turies have passed since the youths of Greece strove for the laurel wreath times. conditions, habits and modes of thought have changed; new ideas have emerged into existence mankind itself has changed but still that ancient adulation of the hero of the athletic field survives and will doubtless never be eradicated as long as the blood of man flows warm and red and human hearts respond to the straining surge of trained and seasoned muscles and sinews. be they of man or beast
 Every nation has had a particular variety of sports to which they were most devoted. Tn the later periods the tendency has been ever farther and farther away from those sports which savored of brutality and ferocity such as characterized the sporting amuse- ments of the Romans. Strength. en- duranee, courage are none the less re- garded, but there has been an ever in- creasing tendency to eliminate all hint
