STROUD ROBBERS
AGAIN IN TULSA?
Starr's Companions Report
ed to Have Come Here
Yesterday.

A communication received by The
World from Bartlesyille last night
conveyed the information that two
men, thought to be implicated In the
bank robbery at Stroud in which the
noted bandit leader, Henry Starr, was
captured, were in Tulsa and would
be arrested before midnight. A re-
porter told Sheriff Wooley Of the
message, but he said it was without
foundation.
During the past few days all sorts
of rumors have been current to the
effect that the two robbers who
made their escape after Starr was
captured were in this vicinity and
that it would be easy to run them
down Several individuals have asked
me for expense money to track the
men, but, in my opinion, all they
wanted was the 'kale'," said Sheriff
WoOlley.
A wide search has been instituted
for the two robbers who made their
escape, but they have eluded detec-
ton. 1t is feared by authorities at
Chandler that an attempt will be
made to rescue Starr from the county
Jail, where he is confined, as he goes
to trial next week and will probably
received a long sentence. Extra
guards are on duty at the Jail and
every precaution is being taken to
prevent a delivery.

STANLEY SNYDER
IN TOLLS AGAIN
Is Suspected of Blowing a
Safe at Drumright
Recently.

The police were notified last night
that Stanley Snider, well-known pO-
lice character, had been arrested at
CusAIng. He is charged with blow
ing the safe Of a creamery concern
at Drumright, in which more than
wv hundred dollars were secured.
He was arrested in pool hall and
made no attempt to resist Chief OF
Police Harris, who took him into Gus
tOdy He will be held pending fur
ther investigation.
That Snider is closely allied with
y. A. Atkins and Denny Daniels,
both of whom are well known to To-
cal authorities and are at the pres
ent time under arrest, is the belief
Of Chief Burns. 1t is said that Sni-
der and Daniels are old pals" and
as Atkins and Daniels were found
rooming together there are reasons
to believe that the trio are on inti-
mate terms.
Chief Burns is jubilant over the
capture of Snider. IL may be that a
series OF robberies occurring in the
southwestern part of the state during
the past several months will be
cleared up as a result OF Snider's ap-
prehension. although as yet the police

Farm Credit Plan.

Texas bankers who lend money to
farmers have what they call a "crop
rate" sheet. They have prepared this
for their own protection, and for a
guide for farmers who want 10 bor-
row. A 40-acre, two-hOrse farm is
taken as unit. The credit sheet
states the live stock and the quantity
Of food and feed crops necessary to
support a family Of five on such a
farm When a man asks for a loan
ne outlines his system of farming and
gives a detailed statement as to the
crops he is raising and the amount Of
live stock kept on the farm. The
nearer his practice corresponds TO the
crop rate sheet, the better his credit
IL, and vice versa. The bankers con-
slider this safe basis for lending

Shade Trees for Hogs

Shade is essential to the welfare OF
a thrifty hog. Wallowing places are
all right If hogs can be left in one
place during the summer months, but
ii they have to be moved any distance
or hauled to market, they are very
likely to become overheated. Hogs that
have access to running water or wal
lowing places can stand very little
exercise in the sun.
The best and cheapest shade for
hogs is undoubtedly thicket OF trees
or bushes which will shield them
from the sun and allow a circulation
Of ai' to pass through. Where it is
not possible to enclose a thicket In
the hog yard, shade should be con-
structed in such a way that a free
irculation of air can pass through
the building.
