problem shortage of experienced
and seasoned material. In spite of
this, Strauss constructed wonder
full machine around nucleus con.

work here. The fast Indian athlete
had very little, or practically no foot
ball experience when Strauss launch

Ardmore Nov. 27.-That Jake L.
Hamon, giant of the oil industry and
politics, who died here yesterday as
the result of q bullet wound in the
abdomen. knew he was going to die
when he entered the hospital last
Sunday night was the statement Of
Or. Walter Hardy who was in con-
stant attendance at lannon's bed
side for four days.
Hospital officials stated that
Hamon claimed to the last that the
shot that ended his life, was acci.
dental.
The only man who was called for
by Hamon during his last conscious
moments was Bud BalIew, deputy
sheriff and noted officer Of Carter
county whose gun has barked in
many a battle here.
It is reported that Bellew thought
he had plenty Of time to reach
Hamon and that he made no haste
Hamon dropped off into his death
sleep just as Bellew entered tho
room and what the oil millionaire
had to say to his friend, the deputy
sheriff before his hold on life slipped
and he dropped into the last long
oil rtff1I 1.o To
much speculation here as TO what
message Hamon had for BalIew.
Was it to reiterate that the shot
that ended his life was an accident
as he at first claimed, or was it to
make another statement as to how
he was wounded that the officer
was called? These are among the
questions that are being asked in
Ardmore today Some believe that
had Ballew hurried to the bedside
of his wounded friend, the full story
of the shooting would have been told,
while there are others who believe
that Hamon called Ballew to bid him
a last farewell.
Russell Brown, county attorney Of
Carter county and who filed charges
Of assault with intent to kill against
Mrs. Clara Hamon, private secretary
to the deceased millionaire, believes
that the woman will come out Of
hiding on Monday and will attend
lannon's funeral.
Many national characters are to ~
here to attend the funeral Among
them will be men high up in nation
al republican circles
Trunks belonging to Mrs. Clara
Hamon have arrived at Kansas
City, according to word received
here and detectives are on the job
watching for any possible claimants
of the baggage.
It was reported here today that
Jake L Hamon made out his will
while he was in the hospital here,
suffering from the gunehot wound.
