HOW HE DIED

We we're beginning to believe that
the "fiuey" was the only cause of
death in our fair land, but the editor
of a monthly bulletin of vital Stats
tics finds the following in reports OF
causes of death sent to him:
Died suddenly; nothing serious"
Went to bed feeling we'll, but
woke up dead"
Patient should not have died, as
he fully recovered from his sickness.
THE cause of death was his moth

Don't know cause of death. He

"Died from blow on the head with
axe. Contributory cause was anoth-
er mans wife"
Deceased died from blood poison
ing caused by broken ankle when an
automobile struck him between the
lamp and radiator"

HURLBURT rs BACK,
SHOULD BE GENER-
AL SAY FRIENDS

L. R. Hurlbut, the popular. rayador
in No. mine, who enlisted last year.
returned to his native heath on We'd
nesday, with a corporal on his ham
die.
Hurlbut was in six engagements on
the western front, is said to have re-
ceived the D. S. c., and has exciting
tales of the front to recount. Although
in the thick of lit, he escaped actual
injury, and returned safe and sound.
While he returned as "non-suffi-
cient" officer, his friends will not hold
that against him, knowing that he
would have been made at least a ma
r-general had his natural ability
been recognized 1t is often a difficult
proposition to surmount the obstacles
of pull and "red tape"
Hurlbut was promptly placed on
K. P. by Mrs. Hurlbut, although he
pleaded that he had to go on guard
and chase prisoners. Well bet that
while the rigorous discipline of the
army has in a way prepared him for
the hard labor of civilian life, he will
now undergo intensive training in
household economics; the. life of a
"non-competent" officer will have
nothing on the hardships of Rays So

the restricting influences of Mrs

John r. O'DonnelI Named Local Agent
For New Concern Formed by Con.
servative and Reliable Business
Men to Develop Promising Field

For the purpose of developing one
of the most promising holdings in the
heart of the Okmulgee county (Okla.)
oil district, Arizona and Oklahoma oil
operators have just completed the or
ganization of the Texas-Oklahoma
Petroleum and Refining company. The
new company owns jointly with E. j.
Lambert, one of the most successful
oil operators of Oklahoma, a lease on
120 acres of oil lands in the vicinity of
Beggs, Okla, where 1000 and 1000
barrel wells are matters of almost
very-day occurrence. The list of Ari-
zOna men interested in the organiza-
tion includes number of the most
responsible business men of Phoenix,
and their decision to embark in the
enterprise was made only after sew,
eral weeks of the most careful inves-
tigation. AS a result the future of the
| company, both by reason of it's hold.
ings and it's personnel, is regarded as
| extremely bright.
The holdings of the new company

| IF the Elby Oil and Gas company, the
stock of which was placed on the Ari

Messrs Lawhon & Piper of Phoenix
The stock was originally offered al
$5 per share, but advanced immediate
/ ly to over $40 share upon the bring
| ing in of the first we'll of the ElbS
company. Men who have carefully
examined the holdings of the new
company declare that it presents pos

WILL ABIDE BY

Railway Companies Will In
terpose no Legal Objec-
tions to 10 Points.

President w. F. Ham, of the W. R.
and E. Company. came out yesterday
with a fat statement that his COM
pany would interpose no legal objec-
ton to inter-company transfers at
sixteen points suggested by John A.
Beeler.
This statement was made at a
meeting of the public utilities commits
sion following the agreement of the
Capital Traction Company to take
similar action.
John ]. Deyiny, night superinten-
dent of the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing, argued for the Fourteenth
and Pennsylvania avenue transfer for
n,0o0 of the bureaus employees.
Transfers at Twelfth and Pennsyl-
yania avenue, he stated, would di-
vert a large portion of traffic from
the Fourteenth street cars of the W.
R. and Z. He asserted that many
empty cars of the Virginia line pass
the bureau each day, which should
be utilized for the benefit of the pub
lie. Thousands of employees who now
walk, he said, would use the vir-
ginia cars IL they could get trans
fers at Twelfth and Pennsylvania
avenue
Suggestions of the zone" system
of fares have met with disfavor by

ed yesterday. ..
