Important Raid Made by U. S. Deputies
Dillon and WOrIey on Restaurant
in Business Section

/ A bootlegging joint conducted in The
heart of the city was uncovered thi.
morning by Deputy U. S. Marshal jim
Dillon and Dick Worley by the merest
chance. Deputy Dillon had gone tC
the Rock Island station to meet his
fellow officer who was on the way t.
Duncan. Coming up from the station
they saw man enter the small res.
taurant and cider joint conducted by
A. c. French on the east side of SOILS
building opposite to the Speake hotel
on Chickasha avenue. This aroused
the suspicion of the two men and Dill
Ion suggested a raid and made a run
on it, surprising the inmates. Imme.
diately on entering the building the
officers were assured by French that
he had no weapons on the premises
and search Of his person revealed
nothing. A minute inspection of the
premises, however, revealed the pres
ence of two loaded six-shooters lying
near the bed which the raiders took
charge of. Uncovering a hole in the
floor twenty-five quarts of whiskey
were found. Both man and whiskey
were seized and French was lodged in
Jail. Then Worley returned to his
train.
Returning to the place later in com
pany with Officer Jack Marshall, Dep
uty Dillon with a crowbar tore UP the
floor and sixteen more quarts Of
whiskey and a number of empty bot
ties furnished additional evidence
against French. About that time Coun-
ty Attorney venable and Deputy Sher-
if Bob Castleman happened along and
ordered the place closed. Two wo-
men, claiming to be cousins of French,
were found and promised to leave
town to avoid arrest.
A raid was subsequently made on
the home Of French on South Fourth
street but nothing was found on the
grounds.

President Smith Says Grady County Out,
did Herself in Arrangement Of Best
Fair on Record
ACCOMMODATIONS
ARE INADEQUATE
Could Have Used 300 Instead Of l4O
Stalls and Permanent Stalls are
Necessary

Highly gratified with the unprece
dented success of the 1916 Grady
County Free Fair and filled with plans
and ambitions for the future, Presi
dent w. E. Smith gave voice to his
views and sentiments today after tho
fair had been unanimously pronounc
ed to be an unqualified success. Not
only praise due for the intelligent and
/ diligent labors of his co-workers but q
timely criticism on the one weak spot
of the great event prompted his OBJ
servations.
"This undoubtedly has in many re
spects been the greatest and most sue
cessful fair ever held in Grady county.
Not having been in the presidency but
few days l cannot take to myself any
credit for its excellence which is due
entirely to the efforts Of the other
members of the board and to 0. G.
Cooper, county demonstration AS
president OF the association | desire
to extend my thanks to all those who
labored for The success which it has
achieved and to the exhibitors who
have uncomplainingly put up with any
Inconvenience which might have been
suffered by them due to inadequate
accommodations.
And in passing wish TO say that
if Chickasha and Grady county would
avail themselves of the golden oppor-
tunity which is before them of making
Grady county fairs events which peo-
pie will come miles to see, some inn
provements must be made. In the
first place we must provide for ade-
quate accommodations for live stock
exhibits. The entries this year were
the best ever seen in Chickasha and
some Of the live stock was as fine as
will be- shown at any fair in Oklaho-
ma. We had only 14O stalls and could
have used 300. Exhibitors demand
quality when it comes to showing OIL
their prize cattle and horses and other
good stock and are not content with
the big tops They require perma-
nent stalls and these will have to be
provided if Chickasha hopes to get the
best in the future. Under conditions
prevailing this year many OF the stock
men had to sit up all night watching
their animals to prevent them from
tearing down barns and demolishins
petitions. This would all be avoided
by the erection of permanent stalls.
Everybody was in the best of humor,
however, and beds were shared by
those who had provided them with
those who did not anticipate the ne
cessity for bringing them to the
grounds.
"The premium lists amounted to
$14OO this year and although the fis-
ures on other expenditures are not
available / am quite sure that they
came within the appropriation and the
funds at hand"

The girls mother, Mrs. Charles Langford and sister, Miss Mary Langford and Mrs. George Toy took the stand and said that Dr. Rosa Goodrich BoidO, mother of the defendant. had gone to the Langford home to obtain the parents consent fer the marriage of their daughter to her son. They said that she had told them she could find the girl, but would only do so if she had the promise of the parents that the young people marry.

 say anything of the kind. She testi- 1 fled that she had said she would try
