SPECTlON OF PROPERTY IN
MARSHALL COUNTY.

\. y. Wilcox and ], y Aydelotte,
members of the state board of af-
fairs, arrived here Saturday night
over the Frisco and left yesterday
for Oklahoma City.
Their mission in this section was
to look over some property between
the Washita and Glass creek in Mar
shall county, near the town of Ayles-
worth that is available for state
farm for working conyicts, and they
took options on 1,2OO acres.
1t is the desire Of the state board
to secure at least 1000 acres for this
purpose, but they believe that they
can easily secure the other 500 acres
in addition to that on which they al.
ready have options. II is understood
that there has already developed some
opposition to locating the farm in
Marshall county, but it is thought
that no serious objections will be
found when a thorough Investigation
of the case is made.
Mr.. Aydelotte stated that whenever
he has business in this section of
the state. he always makes it a point
to go by way of McAlester, as he
is able, by doing so, to secure a
sleeper, whereas, when coming this
way he is compelled to sit up half
the night. He strongly urged that
strong pressure be brought to bear
upon the railway officials to compel
them to give the citizens of this city
that service which seems so neces-
sary at present, in view of our lin
tied hotel facilities

PRESIDENT HILL OF WESTERN

CANCY IN HIS CIRCUIT COMES
TO ARDMORE.

While denying that his hurried visit
to ArdmOre Saturday had anything to
do with the capital of Carter county
becoming a member of the Western
association, President w. p Hill an
nounced Saturday midnight while in
Oklahoma City after the aforesaid
visit that Ardmore was an applicant
for the first vacancy which occurs.

to people as eager for organized base

Ardmore," said President Hill, "but
promised to ask the league to con
slider their application in case there
is a vacancy I say forlorn, not be

be voted in unanimously, for that city

part Mayor Val Mullen said he would
throw me in Jail for a vag, or perhaps
tie me to the top of a car of gasoline
and touch a match to it if l wouldn't
give them a chance at the first va

a telegram is received that a vacancy
is about to occur, Ardmore would
wire $4,000 to fill it."
After relieving himself of this state
ment President Hill insisted that it
be made plain that there was no con
nection between the present unsettled
conditions at Tulsa and Muskogee and
the Ardmore affair.

strued," he said. "In the first place
there is no doubt that both Tulsa and
will shape up their affairs
to the complete satisfaction of all

DIED ON TRAIN
SUNDAY NIGHT
PIONEER CITIZEN WHO HAS BEEN
IN FAILING HEALTH, WAS ON
HIS WAY HOME FROM SOUTH
TEXAS WHEN END CAME,

DR.. c. Mccoy who for a number Of
years has been in poor health, died on
the northbound Santa Fe train twelve
miles north of Fort Worth last night
while en- route from San Antonio to
his home here.
The remains were brought to this
city and taken to the undertaking es-
Enlistment of Brown and Bridgman
and prepared for burial.
DR.. Henry of this city was notified
and had all arrangements made when
the train arrived. With him, when the
end came, was his wife and brother
who have been with him for some time
in South Texas points in hopes of re-
gaining his health.
Some time ago DR.. Mccoy left this
city hoping that the balmy air of
South Texas would be beneficial to
him, but letters received from time
to time did not contain very cheerful
news, and finally, at his own sugges.
tion it was decided to return home
to await the end which the doctor saw
was inevitable. The end came before
he had finished his journey, and to.
morrow, Tuesday afternoon at two
O'Clock, the funeral services will be
conducted from the family residence
in northwest Ardmore by Rev. c. c.
Weith, followed by interment in Rose
Hill cemetery

DR.. Mccoy was II years of age at
the time of his death. He came to Ard.
more from Texas 26 years ago, and
has been a most valuable citizen to
this entire section of the state. He
never turned a deaf ear to one in dis
tress and his friends and neighbors at,
test to his many sterling qualities. He
was active in the early development
Of Ardmore and was a large property
owner The entire city was shocked
to learn this morning of his death and
extends sympathy to the stricken fami-
Iy in their hour OF bereavement.

pany in the hands of a receiver Sat
urday by the district court has ere
ated somewhat of sensation in oil

topic of general conversation. The
oil men who have been heard to make

of a receiver without a hearing, and
an attorney. in discussing the cues

to be worth from a million to a mill

Ledbetter < Adams, attorneys for
the CRYSTAL company will file a petit
ton with the court by the middle Of
the week asking that the receiver be
discharged, and if the opinion of the
court is adverse to them after a hear
ing, the case will be appealed, and it
is believed that the state supreme
court will give an immediate hearing
upon the question.
Mr.. Ledbetter. in discussing the
question today stated that the petit

be known under the Arkansas law
which formerly prevailed here, as a

to conduct an inquiry to ascertain if

IS GIVEN GAMBLER
BY HIS FRIENDS
Next Mayor Is Detained on
Way to Office to Receive
Shower of Congratulations
on Victory

Atlantians gathered in the lobby of
the Gambler building Friday morning and
neld an informal reception in honor of
Asa G.. Gambler.
They were waiting for Mr.. Gambler
when he arrived on his way to his Of
nee, and they kept him so long that he
was finally obliged to beg off. Other
wise he would be there yet, as the citi-
zens kept on coming ana all of them
wanted 10 shake his hand.
Mr.. Gambler himself feels and shows
the need of rest. Since returning from
Mount Clements ten days ago. to enter
actively into the mayoralty campaign,
he has been going at rate which would
tax the strength of any man. Especial
ly was the exertion of three to six
speeches every day a strain on Mr..
Gambler, because political campaigning
was an entirely new experience in his
life.
The warmth and enthusiasm of the
congratulations showered upon him, and
upon Atlanta for having secured his
services as mayor. deeply affected him,
and he acknowledged them all in a sim
pie, straightforward manner that showed
his words came direct from his heart.

ALABAMA GOVERNOR SUED
by THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Latter Would Compel ExeCu-
tive to Pay Girard Liquor
Raid Expense

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug 25.-After
war of words which has been carried
on between the executive committee and
the attorney generals department for
several weeks, William L. Martin, the
attorney general, Friday entered petit
ton in the city court of Montgomery
for a writ of mandamus requiring
Charles Henderson, as governor of Ala
bama, to prove certain accounts for ex-
penses incurred in the Girard liquor in
vestigations, and the trial of Pat M.
Daniel, sheriff of Russell county, who
was impeached by the superior court.
Attorney General Martin made pub
lie the correspondence which led up to
entering the suit and announced that
the case ais for the purpose of deter
mining the authority of my office"
The correspondence showed that Gov
ernor Henderson had declined to APP
prove certain accounts on the ground
that the contracts were made without
the approval of the department and
that the expenses were incurred with
out consultation with the governor.
Attorney General Martins petition
was directed to Judge Leon McCord, of
the fifteenth judicial circuit, and re-
quested him to summon Governor Hen
derson into court and command him to
show why a writ of mandamus should
not be entered directing him to ap-
prove an account for $171.0S presented
by j. r. DAILY, who was employed by
the attorney generals department TO
make Investigations in Russell county.
