CORTON is
AGAIN DUE
FOR WELL
Hole Ia Good Shape; LhaHge From Rotary
ta Cable ToOIs; Iisy Be
Ready Today

According to rumors that continue
to come into Chickasha the Gorton
well, near Cement is due to be drilled
in today or tomorrow, and the be-
lief is already expressed that at least
a good gas well will result.
One statement reaching Chickasba
last night was to the effect that the
Gorton had already come in and was
rip-roaring gasser However, later
reports Indicate that there was moth
ing TO the rumor. An oil man who
visited the well yesterday and talked
to Mr. Gorton is authority for the
statement this morning that the well
is ready to be drilled in in the next
day or two.
They have been undcrreaning with
a rotary for some time past and
have the hole in better shape than it
has ever been. Yesterday the mud
and slush was standing nearly to the
top of the hole and they were busy
bailing it out, preparatory to going
into the hole with cable tools to
finish it up. They are down practi-
cally1 500 to 1000 feet with the six
inch casing and are in good shape to
continue to a considerable depth it
necessary.
It is the opinion exSfessed that it
will not be necessary to go below
2,25O feet and oilers are expecting
good gasser Mr. Gorton stated yes
terday that he had spent more than
$1,000 on the we'll and that a gasser
would suit him exactly. Oil man be
lieve that should the Corton come in
for a good one, Chickasha would have
natural gas in a few months.

HUN OFFENSIVE BREAKS DOWN UNDER
FIERCE RESISTANCE ALLIED TROOPS
TIMEKEEPER IS
NOW BIG BOSS
or ROCK ISLAND

From tilhekeeper on construction
gang on the G. NJ e St p. railroad
to general manager of all the Rock
Island lines might sound like fiction
but such is the record Of L. II. Bea-
com who recently took up duties as
head of the latter railway system
with headquarters at Chicago. In the
seventeen steps of his advance, Mr.
Beacon has twice been in Chickasha,
once as superintendent of the Okla
homa division of the Rock Island
lines in 1904 and again in the same
capacity from December 1906 to Sep
tember 1907.
Climbing from one Of the lowest
places in the clerical department of
railroad to the managers desk has
taken Mr.. Beacon a period of thirty
eight years but during that time rail
roading was his only worry. Six
of the seventeen periods of service
were spent in Oklahoma.

KILLED AS
RESULT OF
ACCIDENT
Ninlekah Boy Dies When Horse Falls On
Body; Skull Fractured, Neck Broken;
EOdy Crushed

Henry Stephens, the 10 year old
son of d. H. Stephens, farmer
living six miles west of Ninnekah,
was instantly killed shortly after
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon when
the horse which he was riding fell,
breaking the boys neck and badly
crushing the body in the impact
Stephens sustained several injuries,
any of which would have caused his
death, doctors declare.
A few minutes before the acci-
dent occurred. Henry Stephens had
gone out on the ranch to round up
some cattle and met his death in at
tempting to master an unruly COW
which he had roped. The horse
which the boy was riding proved un,
equal to the strain when Stephens
had roped the COW and was trying
to bring her to a stop Had the boy
been able to clear himself from the
stirrups, the casualty might not have
happened but because of the unex-
pected jerk, he was not prepared to
fall clear of the horse.
The skull was fractured by the
horn of the saddle and the shoulders
we're mashed while minor bruises
and scratches were inflicted on other
parts of the body Arteries were
broken in the skull and in the neck,
investigation showed.
Funeral arrangements had not been
made at non today. The family has
telephoned a brother of the boy who
lives in California and is expecting
instructions this afternoon. The
funeral win probably be held at MIN
nekah.

Local Food Boss Declares CiIy's Eating
Places have Disregarded Ruling;
Supply Of Sweets Stopped

Because some hotels and restau-
rants of Chickasha have not returned
receipts of sugar to the county food
administrator they will not be allow
ed to purchase a pound during the
next quarter ending October /. This
was the decision returned this morn
ing by G. M, Hollingsworth after con
ferring with the state office on cases
which became delinquent yesterday.
Mr.. Hollingsworth issued final warn
ing to-, retailers of sugar several
weeks ago advising that the state adj
ministrator has published this ruling.
Eating house prOprietors who have
come under the dead-fall of the ad-
ministration's sugar regulation may
appeal to the state office but this will
be useless, Mr. Hollingsworth thinks
q regret the fact that the sugar
bowls on the tables of several public
eating places in Chickasha must be
deprived of sugar for a period of
three months but the order did not
come under my jurisdiction" said the
county administrator this morning.
Timely warning was given every
hotel and restaurant in the county
and those who suffer can blame only
their own negligence"
Regulations from the fair price
committee at Oklahoma City received
last week prescribe the limitation of
sugar profits to one cent on the
pound. This is directed principally
at retail dealers. Violation of this
provision will be punishable by can
ceiling of license to sell sugar, MI
Hollingsworth said today
TO clear up confusion that has
existed among merchants of Oklahoma
a circular letter explaining the pres
cnt food sale rulings was mailed out
this morning by G. B. Ames, okla !
homa Food dictator, to all county Of
fices. Statements have been sent to
all handlers of sugar requiring Ger
and in all cases whore this
has been complied with, certificates .
have been mailed The allotment of
sugar to Oklahoma has been based !
on three pounds per capita and can
not be Increased Mr. Ames declares.
Any new retail stores that have not |
handled sugar prior to July 1 will /.
not be permitted to do so now.
