HEALDTON HAS A REAL
TRUANT OFFICER

1t remained for the truant officer
at Healdton to set the example in
Carter county of what may hap
pen to parents who fail or refuse
to send their children to school.
]. F, Walker, of that city was ar
rested for violating a school law,
as the complaint charged and un-
der this it was shown that he had a
child of scholastic age whom he
was not sending to school and
these facts being satisfactorily
shown to Justice w. r. White, OF
Healdton, the defendant was fined
$40, with $l4 costs added and in
default of payment he was COM
mitted and was brought in from
Healdton yesterday and placed in

Girls Held for Investigation.

Jim Carter and Bud Ballew, dep
uty shcriffs, yesterday arrested two
young girls, named Ida Hill and
Billie Weaver, and placed them In
the county Jail for investigation.
They found the girls walking along
the Rock Island track, west of the
roundhouse. They said they had
walked in from the oil field, and
their appearance would indicate
that they had been exposed to the
weather. They are very poorly
dressed, and one of them had no
hat. One said she had worked in 4
rooming house and in a restaurant
at Healdton, but when questioned,
appeared to know no person there.
They are probably IS years OF age,
though one of them said she was
Is. The officers are trying to find
their people.

MEXICAN SHOPLIFTER
IN HANDS OF POLICE

A Mexican giving his name as An
tonic Alandez is in the county jail
with several charges of larceny
placed against him. He is as smooth
a shoplifter as ever operated here
according to Chief of Police Seq
Ter, who arrested him at Levy'S
pawnshop.
The Mexican entered the store of
Grisham & Hartnitt soon after it
was opened. He carried a gripsack
and said he wanted to buy pair
of socks and put them on. He made
his purchase for Is cents and went
to the rear of the store. He put
on the socks and went away. Soon
after he left, ten pairs of trousers
were missed. The police were mott
fed. The chief had been given a
good description of the Mexican
and found him just ready to leave
Levy's pawnshop. He had bought
pair of socks there, but had not
put them on, although he fooled
dTOuuQ Ill lllC ltdl Ol lIlC SUI X
Nothing had been missed there until
the chief opened his grip and found
suit of clothes, which were iden-
tilted as belonging to Levys.
He refused to tell the chief where
the stolen trousers were until he
had been given a good slapping, and
the chief had told him he would kill
him if he did not tell him. He thea
got in the car with the chief and
they went to a brick house, along
side the Santa Fe tracks between
Third and Fourth avenue, occupied
by Mcxicans, and there the chief
found the trousers taken from Girls
ham & Hartnitt's store.
The chief also recovered from the
Mexican two or three suits of clo-
thing, which are at the station and
have not yet been claimed.
The Mexican was locked up at the
police station and later turned over
to Horace Kendall, deputy sheriff,
who took him to the county jail.

JURY CLEARS
CHARLES B|GB|E OF
MURDER CHARGE

In the district court the jury in
the case of the State VS.. Charles
Bigbie, murder, returned a verdict
of not guilty.
The jury got the case about 6
o'clock yesterday evening and went
to supper before going to their
room and it was l0:30 last night
when they came into court with
their verdict,
There we're many thrilling events
occurring in the courtroom during
the last hours of the trial. Judge
Brett, while making an argument
for the defense, during the after
noon, was dwelling largely on the
invaded home and the hideousness
of the man who was killed, when,
hating in his speech, he sang, for
the benefit of the jury, Home,
Sweet Home"
During his rendition of this grand
old song, although the Judge is a
long way from being a Caruso, the
audience was visibly affected and
the wife of the defendant became
hysterical, shouting and screaming
until she was removed from the
court room, when she collapsed.
There were other interesting
events during the course of the
argument. Throughout the trial
of the many criminal cases heard
at this term, the county attorney
Russell Brown, has been making
the closing argument while in
every case the argument had been
opened by his assistant, J. L.
Hodge.
Hodge Has His Inning
The attorneys for the defense,
in all the cases, have been lambast-
ing Mr.. Hodge when he had no
opportunity of getting back at
them. Yesterday this order was
reversed and the county attorney
made the opening argument, al
lowing Hodge to close and then he
got even with the lawyers for the
defense.
During the course Mr.. Hodges
argument, he referred to one OF the
witnesses, a daughter of the de-
fendant, and spoke of the time
when she was taken from "49"
show.
you're a ID liar" shouted the
defendant at the top Of his voice.
Great confusion in the courtroom
followed and Judge Champion, 81
lencing this, fined the defendant
SIS for contempt of court.
The courtroom was we'll filled
throughout the afternoon and the
arguments of counsel drew the
closest attention.
This was the last case set for trial
on the criminal docket. Judge
Champion may hear motions and
non-jury cases tomorrow and Sat
urday. Tomorrow he will sentence
the men convicted at this term Of
court. There are only three Of
them: c. l. Sherman, manslaugh-
ter, four years; G.. w. Mills, for
gerry, three years; and Ted Hogue
who entered plea Of guilty to
murder.
Judge Champion will go to Ma
rietta next Monday to open the
March term of district court for
Love county. There may be hear
ing of non-jury cases here during
April, but there will probably be
no jury called in this court until
Nav.

vile and Ravia in southerly direc-
ton through Madill, Kingston and
Woodville to the Red River bridge.
North of Sulphur is line through
Stratford, Tecumseh and Shawnee
which connects with another east

south road through Oklahoma City
and Ardmore to the river is tapped

runs through Duncan to Lawton.
1t is proposed that Carter and Ste
phens county build connecting
link from some point east of Dun
can on this line down through the
Carter county oil fields to Wilson
on the Waurika-Ardmore, Madill-to-
the-river road.
Measure Will Get Through.
While the resolution may make
slower progress since there are
both majority and minority reports,
it is not believed that there will be
any considerable difficulty in put
ting the senate measure through
that body within a reasonable period.
The house measure, which was pass
ed two weeks ago, was considered
in the senate committee, but it is
not expected that it will be called
from the committee. There was
some talk early this week to taking
up the house resolution yesterday,
killing all but the enacting clause
and substituting the senate measure,
but it is understood that if this
procedure really was seriously con-
sidered that it has been abandoned.
Fight In House.
If no difficulty is experienced in
putting the favored measure through
the senate it is not conceded that
it will have a smooth path in the
house In both bodies it is prob
able that there will still be several
contentious raised in regard to
routes. The dispute between Wyn-
newood and Pauls Valley relative
to which of these towns will be the
beginning point Of the route
through Garyin and Stephens coun-
ties to Lawton, is certain to reach
the floor. Others are expected to
be fought out after the bill comes
before the entire upper house. And
the house members, it is said, are
not looking with favor upon some
of the language of the senate's
route sections. Governor Robert
son has said that neither the senate
nor the house resolutions met his
approval. A long drawn out confer
ence on differences between the two
houses, with executive suggestions
thrown in for good measure, is not
unlikely. And, it might be pointed
out that yesterday was the fifty
first legislative day. Just a week
will remain of the statutory period
after the senate reaches the road
resolution under its special order.
Lower house members particularly
are grumbling about the prospect
Of remaining on duty many days al
