DEWEY, Okla. June 24.-This is
a story of a man who loves sport, and
who spends fortunes to bring 1t to his
own door so his neighbors can enjoy
It with him.
Joe A. Bartles of Dewey is a real
spcrtsman-not a betting mamie
never waged more than "A thin dime
at a time in his life. He is the presi-
dent of the famous Dewey Roundup.
He is also its founder. Mr.. Bartles
was born less than four miles from
the scene of the roundup at a time
when railroads were unknown in this
section. and when men had to survive
the raVages of the frontier outlaw
and the savage Indian.
Started First Mill.
More than forty years ago Jce's
father, Jake Bartles. ventured out on
the border Of civilization. and set up
an Indian trading post on Caney
river about four miles from the pres
ent site OF Dewey. soon realizing he

grazing countries on earth. but also in

wheat-the first ever planted In the
Indian territory or oklahoma. II
grew successfully and he built a large
of wheat and gave seed to neighbors
and encouraged them; and at one
time Jake Bartles' crop was more
than forty-five thousand bushels in
one year. The settlers fast learned
OF the mill, and before the railroads
came they drove as far as five hun
dred miles for flour.
The Bartles store was the main
supply house for settlers ard ranch
men for hundreds of miles around. 1t
was ore of the far frontier outposts
of civilization. whore tho civilized In
dian, the trapper, the buffalo hunter
and outlaw met and snapped their
tales of daring.
The elder Mr.. Bartles died a few
ye9rs ago, leaving an immense for
tune.
It was under such an environment
that Joe T,artles was born. and as
civilization expanded he grew up in
the saddle. He lived in the open,
communed with nature and learned
to love outdoor sport.

All Oklahoma is looking toward

notice of special train service. There

Shenandoah, March, 24.-The distri-
button Of the $4,000 paid by the Iowa
Telephone Company for the Independ-
ent Mutual Telephone Company's plant
lis about to get into court. At recent
meeting of the board Of directors OF
the old company a majority decided
that the division should be made as
follows: Immediate payment OF 1o0
cents on the dollar for all Of the
shares of preferred stock, payment OF
100 cents on the dollar for all shares
of common stock April / and sub
sequent disbursement Of the remaining
funds to the preferred stockholders,
estimated to amount to 20 cents on the
dollar. - -
Checks to the preferred stockholders
were drawn Immediately and one on
two of them cashed by the treasurer,
E. A. Read. But upon, reflection he
decided that such q course might not
be legal as he was uncertain whether
the company had been legally dis
solved. and he therefore stopped pay
-ment upon the other checks.

before Judge Thornell at Sidney.

point receiver to wind up the affairs
Of the company.
It appears that the controversy
arises over the plans for the division
Of the funds secured by the sale. The
stock consists of 500 shares Of 500
each, amounting to 100000 and is d.
vided into common and preferred.
Briefly stated, under the contSntion
Of the common stockholders, the divf-
sion should be 120 cents on the dol
lar to preferred stockholders and 100
cents on thes dollar to the common
stockholders. The preferred stock
holders contended that the proper di-
vision should be $50 cents on the dol
lar to the preferred stockholders and
so cents to the common stockholders.
Efforts are being made to bring
about an amicable agreement which
will permit Of the immediate disburse-
ment of, all the funds not in dispute
viz, 100 cents on the dollar to the pre-
ferred, stockholders and so cents to
the common, the balance to be dis
bursed by a trustee to be appointed by
