TO BE RESUMED

Tha drilling Of the f. d. Shaffer
Oil and Gas company which was sus-
pended some time ago on the lease
mar Lawton due to lack of water has
just been resumed and should the scant
water supply hold out it is thought
that no more delays in developing the
well will be experienced Mr.. Shaffer
states that all wells had ceased work
in that locality but are ready to re-
sumo operations since recent rains
have increased the water supplies.
The Short Grass Co. which is sink
ing a well on section 6-S-i1, has strated
up and expects to continue drilling un-
til the well is brought in. Mr.. Shat
fer's company has been delayed and
the progress of the work held up for
some time by the water shortage, but
the trouble has now been removed at
least temporarily and the work will
proceed.

Exciting Fight
tUith Booze Men
Told by Officer

J. w. Hart, town marshal and depu-
ty sheriff of Ryan, Okla, when exam
ined before U. S. Commissioner J. w.
.Speake related very interesting story
concerning the capture Of Henry and
Joes Porter who were arrested south
of Ryan and tried here on a charge Of
introducing.
Hart had goh down about twenty
seven miles from Ryan to help run a
ferry boat across Red River. One af-
ternoon while assisting with the ferry
ing, man whom Hart recognized as
Henry Porter drove his hack upon the
ferry, asking if the ferryman had seen
any "law" on the banks. He also
begged to have his transportation
charged, promising to pay when a
friend arrived in an Overland at sun
down. The boat owner granted the re-
quest carrying Porter over to the Tex
as side. This was late in the after
noon and Hart renamed on the OkIe-
honla side concealed in the underbrush
to watch the suspicious actions of Hen
ry Porter.
After the deputy had been in hiding
about thirty minutes, the Overland"
approached. The two men began
transferring bottles from the car into
the hack and covered them with a
wagon sheet. After a few minutes
Hart emerged into the road and met
the car which was returning into Ok
lahoma. The driver was drinking a
bottle of beer. John and Henry Porter
had taken the loaded hack and we're
going back into Texas. The deputy
followed and after ging a short dis
tance. the men turned as if to recross
at ford some distance beyond. After
following them into the pasture, Hart's
presence was noticed and John Porter
turned to get something from back of
the hack seat. Hart ordered hands up
only to be answered by shot from
3S-4O Colts which the Porters carried.
Hart fired thirty-two shots but could
not tell how many were returned by
John Porter.
+ HeDly Porter endeavored to turn
the hack but broke an axle in doing
so. He then jumped from the rig and
began smashing the "Budweiser'
against a cottonwood stump to destroy
the discriminating evidence. After fir
ing at him three times. Hart finally
effected the capture Of Henry Porter,
John having already been handeuffed.
Jim Dillon was near the sccue of ac-
ton but did not participate in he
shooting.
