Tibetan Penal Code.

The Tibetan penal code is curious
Murder Is punished with n fine vary
ing according to the Importance of the
slain, theft by fine of seven to one
hundred times the value of the article
stolen. Here. again, the fine depends
on the social importance of the person
from whom the theft has been commit
ted. The harborer OF Il thief Is looked
upon as a worse criminal than the
thief himself. ordeals by fire and by
boiling water are still used as proofs
of limo ence or guilt, exactly MS was
the custom In Europe In the middle
ages, And if the iamas never inaict
death Icy are adopts at torture.

ence to that law. 1t is understood
that the Twin State Oil company
will also prorate its runs. This com
pany is taking oil from the Humble.
Gypsy, the Schermerhorn and also
from the Keck lease, besides its own
production, and oil from these prop.
critics are to be prorated. The Pro
ducers Refining company has not be.
gun to prorate runs yet, but it will
probably do so.
Conservation Officer Art L. Walker
is expected to be back in the field
Sunday or Monday, when he will
be advised as to what course he will
pursue. 1t is probable that instead
of the state taking over the prorat-
ing of runs, it will leave that work
in the hands of the pipe lines, for
the reason that this procedure is not
expected to continue for a very long
period.

SEVERE WINTER IN SCOTLAND
DISASTROUS TO WILD GAME

Edinburgh, Scotland, April 29.-As
a result of the snowstorms of the
latter part of March, there has been
a high mortality among deed and wild
birds in the Scottish highlands.
Not in the memory of the Oldest in
habitant have the effects Of the win
ter been so severe as this year.
Reports gathered by the local au-
thorities show that many hundreds
of deer, particularly kinds, were froz-
en- to death or died from exposure.
In some cases hand feeding by kind
ly local residents saved the deer
from starvation. But in the major
ity of the forests little additional
food was provided, on account of the
heavy expense and the scarcity of
labor.
Grouse and practically all kinds
of winged game are entering on the
Matching season in a weak and un-
satisfactory condition.

Use of Briaht Lights.

Persons who travel the oil field
road complain of travellers using
bright lights on their machines. The
past week two accidents were trace
able to the using of the bright lights.
They are thrown into the eyes of driv-
ers coming in the opposite direction
and they are blinded so badly that
they cannot see their way. 1t seems
that there is no law governing the
matter except the law Of good com
mon sense and the law or doing right,
which after all is enough to govern
every gentleman when he learns that
he is doing something that Injuries
others.

Oil Suit Tried Yesterday.

w. Daniels, banker of Burkbur-
nett, Tex, who is interested in
Healdton development with l.. c..
Hivick, was here yesterday. Mr..
Daniels is pleased with his invest
ments in the Ardmore oil district.
He came here to be present at the
trial of a case in which the Adams
Oil, Gas and Development company
was suing the Hivick interests for a
half interest in the west half of the
southwest quarter of the northeast
quarter of 15-43, a tract of twenty
acres. The Adams company had
agreed to drill the lease for half the
production in order to hold the lease
drilling had to be begun within a
given time. The Adams company, it
was claimed, was forfeiting the lease
and Hivick moved in tools and drill
ed the well. He drilled in big gas
well, and the court handed down his
opinion in about three minutes after
the evidence was in, giving the
lease to Hivick & Daniels. The Ad-
ans company is composed of negroes
who reside in Washington. 1t is
understood now that Hivick & Dan
iels will drill the gas well on to
the oil sand, and will start another
we'll at once.

Deductino Three Per Cent.

The ]. Howard Pew Pipe Line
company has begun 10 prorate oil
runs on basis of 70 per cent Of
the oil, and it has also been in
structed to deduct the three per cent
for waste which it has not been do
ing heretofore. This company only
short time ago began to make runs
from the Schermerhorn lease, and
the big well on that property which
is making at least 5000 barrels a
day, has put this company where II
cannot care for all the oil OF the
