COURT TO DETERMINE OWNER.
SHIP OF LONG UNCLAIMED FUND
(By Associated Prese.)

Boston, July 31.-The full bench
lof the Massachusetts Supreme Court
has been called upon to deterpine the
ownership of fund nearly a century
old which is claimed by the Common
wealth of Massachusetts on one hand
and the Chilean government on the
other.
In 1921 an American ship returning
from China to this port was seized by
Chilean revolutionists and its cargo
|confiscated. When normal conditions
prevailed in Chile, the United States
demanded indemnity and Chile paid
SIC, 400.
William H. Gardiner of Brockline
was selected to distribute the money
among those entitled to it. He ex-
gecuted the trust except as to two Chi
Inese-known only as Paqua and Mo-
qua, merchants-and Thomas Furber
or this city. Mr.. Gardner falled To
locate these persons or their repre-
sentatives. When he died the trust
was transmitted to his son and upon
the latter's death to the grandson and
great-grandson, Robert H. Gardiner
and Robert H. Gardiner, Jr., who are
now its custodians.
(, The present holders of the fund
have searched through the records OF
the State Department, through the
American consular service at Canton,
China, and through various other
sources, for the heirs Of Paqua, MO
qua and Thomas Furber, without sue
cess.

becoming more and more responsible.
with all the work and worry at

BEAVER COUNTY BEST TAKE
CARE


The following special" to the
Daily okiahoman from Guymon
should be read with more than pass
ing interest by Beaver county peo-
pie. Investigation of certain Of
bcials and the disposition of large
sums of county funds are being
probed in Texas county and the Al
tempted burning Of the county court
house there is thought BY many TO he
the outgrowth OF the Investigation
similar investigation is being
pushed in Beaver county and II is not
az all unlikely that some Of the guilty
parties would be mighty glad to get
nd OF the county records here. Our
people, as rule. usually wake up
and lock the barn door after the
horse is stolen" In this instance. IL
Is our advice to them to wake up
NOW. The article follows:
Guymon. Okla. March I2.-(Spe-
cial AN attempt was made last
night to burn the Texas county court
house. Some one poured gasoline in
hallway on the second floor, set IL
on fire and fed. A high wind was
blowing and quick discovery of the
FIRE and prompt action by citizens and
the fire department was all that
saved not only the courthouse, but a
greater part Of the town.
The FIRE was started Just at dusk
and children passing saw a man
dressed in a tan suit and cap run
from the rear OF the building Just
before the fire alarm was sounded.
The fellow hid in au outbuilding for
moment when an auto drove by.
then ran on to the freight yards and
crawled between cars and disap-
peared. A thorough search Of the
yards failed to reveal anyone answer
ing the description.
The theories advanced are that
some pro-German might have started
the FIRE in order to destroy the rec
| ords Of the local exemption board, or
that the fire was started by some one
| about the building who has been
guilty of tampering with county funds
and sought to destroy evidence of
guilt by attempting to burn the county
records. The latter opinion has the
most supporters in view OF the fact
that an open demand is being made
by citizens for a thorough investiga-
tion of the public records and pub
licity given to the manner of hand
ling public moneys expended during
the past two years, particularly with
reference to highway improvements
This is the second time that a
Texas county courthouse has been
fred and on the former occasion the
entire building and all contents were
destroyed"

BEAVER GIRLS WIN FIRST
PLACE IN ALVA lorna.
MENT-BOYS SECOND

1t the tournament held at Alva
last week the Beaver girls were easy
winners. They defeated Cherokee by
score Of SO to IA. Next they drew
Vici and eliminated them by a score
OF 27 to 10. The final game was
played with Supply, which ended in
victory Of IA to 10 for Beaver.
This gives us the championship for
the western district. A movement is
on foot to send the girls team to
Norman to represent us in the state
meet
This is not the only trophy the
girls have brour home from Alva.
The Girls Glee Club, OF last year,
brought home fiEe plaster cast as
second prize in the glee club con-
test.
The boys would have undoubtedly
won first place except for the fact
that Rector went out of the game at
the end of the first 9 minutes OF play
on account Of sprained ankle The
boys were ahead of Pond Creek at
that time 10 to Z. The loss OF Rector
broke up the teamwork. The boys
played the following games
beaver, so; Burlington, 13.
Beaver, 80; Shattuck. SO.
Beaver, AZ. Vici, So.
Beaver. 22; Pond Creek. 46.
The boys were able TO meet and
defeat the much touted Shattuck
team, which afforded them a great
deal OF satisfaction.
Beaver High is proud OF these
teams and the town people are proud
OF them. AS a school we wish to
thank all who assisted us to send
these teams TO this meet.
The following teams took part:
Boys'--Burlington, Shattuck. Drift
wood. Cherokee, Supply. Vici, Sharon.
Hitchcock, Helena, Gage, Pond Creek.

Girls'-Arnett, Helena, Fargo,
