 ROBBERY IF THE
 BUCKEYE BANK

That a third man played no part in the robbery of the Buckeye bank early Monday morning was the conclusion of the officers yesterday after Jose M Maycot had been apprehended after an all-day search. He was trailed to Ar lington, but even before he was ar rested, the authorities had reason u believe that his connection with the case was not discriminating.
 Miguel Osuna and Ramon Bareic his 1S-year-old companion, self -crn- fessed bandits, in their cells in the county jail told the deputies that May, cot, while aiding them in their plans, at the last moment refused to partici- pate in the actual performance of the robbery. They said he refused :o jcin them when the time agreed upon al.- preached, and they alone entered the home of H. M. Watson, cashier, and forced him to go to the bank and aid them in securing their loot.
 To make certain, however, the off cers renewed their search of the .lay before for the third Mexican. Deputies E. J. Warren and Charles Natzin ger reached Arlington late in the after noon and found their man in custody of Jay Jones. constable of Buckeye. Prov ing to their satisfaction that he .ad no part in the crime Maycot was re leased

 Residence on land not required, neither is it necessary to go east to obtain same, as a demonstration and schooling car sent out by the McAles- ter Real Estate Exchange of McAles- ter, Okla, is now here for the purpose of schooling the public in the manner and method of securing the lands. which consist of mixed farming, timber and grazing lands, all located in the probable oil and gas belt of Oklahoma, where drilling is now going on.
 These lands can be made to bring in nice profit immediately after pur- chasing through the sale of timber
 rights and through leasing for farm ing and oil investment, all of which
 can be arranged without the owner
 having to go east.
 The lands are near railroads and market towns, and in many cases ad-
 join cultivated farms, thereby insuring a ready market for all natural re- sources and products taken from the land. Crops of both the north and the south can De grown WHICH lnSuTeS ample harvest, as this section of Okla homa enjoys from 40 to 45 inches rain- fall per year.
 The lands are appraised at prices
 ranging from s2 to S7 per acre, which merely takes into consideration the timber value only, and was based upon the government appraisement made in 1911, when timber appraisers con- sidered only trees which measured Il inches at the chest line. Therefore, the timber on each tract alone is sufficient
 to net profit equal to the cost of the
 land, making all profits derived from farming and oil purposes profit over
 and above the actual cost. The car will be in town for a few days, and will be open from g a. m. to g p. m, including Sundays. | Visit same and see the wonderful exhibit of western developments and learn how to secure one of these valu- able tracts.

 In one of the instructions the court stated that about the only thing for the jury to determine was whether the sale had actually been made. It was not necessary to ascertain whether the defendant knew that the liquor was it- toxicating Under the prohibition law it devolves upon the seller to know what he is selling. He must know either that it is intoxicating or that it is not intoxicating He cannot afford to indulge in any doubt on that sub ject and he cannot be heard to plead ignorance.

DEMOCRACY
IS SAFE
ii" y
War is Being Promoted successfully
U. s. Inventive Genius Leads.

Washington, Aug. -''The war is
being prosecuted successfully so far as
American participation is concerned, .
declared Secretary Redfeld today to the
international News Service. "You
may say without hesitation that the
American people have no apprehen-
sion on that score"
While Redfeld cautioned against re-
vealing military secrets 3Ie frankly dis
cussed the amazing strides made by
American inventive genius since the
war was declared. Germany has no
weapon that has not been improved
upon in the United States. The new
aeroplane engine is superior to any
heretofore known.
A full catalogue of what has already
been accomplished reads like an Arab
ian Nights tale.
