MOUNTED POLICE
CHECK OIL RUSH
Many Attempt to Take Trail
With Inadequate Packs.

EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 27-En-
forcing the grub-stake ordinance OF the
old Yukon GOLD stampede, Royal North
west Mounted Police are turning back
prospectors heading for the Mackenzie
River. With winter closing in, hun
dreds Of adventurers have set out with
packtrains and dogsleds for the new
oil field at FIT. Norman to stake claims
before the expected rush starts in the
spring. The police are overhauling these
argonauts on the trails of the North and
forbiddins all to continue the foolhardy
journey who are not physically tit to
Withstand the rlgors of an Arctic winter
or who are not adequately provisioned.
Police precautions may prevent rep
etition OF the tragedies that marked the
rush to the Yukon and the Klondike in
the gold excitement OF 1896. Edmonton
was the fitting out point for many Of
the gold seekers. Few reached their
destination. Disheartened by hardships,
many turned back. Scores met death
and their whitened bones are found from
time to time on the wilderness trails.
All signs point to an unprecedented
rush to Fl Norman in the spring Every
berth on steamers on the Peace, Atlas
basca and Slave Rivers has been engaged
already. The Peace River branch of the
Canadian Pacific railway is preparing to
transport thousands to points OF river
embarkation. Many prospectors, it is
said. plan to make the entire journey
from Edmonton overland by wagon.
The excitement, which is the greatest
that has swept the northland since Klon-
dixie days is due to the recent sensa-
tional OIL strike at Ft Norman, where
drill crew OF the Imperial OIL Company
brought In a we'll with a flow Of 1900
barrels day.

Christmas Present
Story Gets Him by
Special City Judge
Shorty Lucas Acquitted on
Blind Tiger Charge.

Some persons are always taking the
joy out of life. James A. Lucas, known
as shorty" because he is only six feet
five inches tall, received some wonderful
Christmas presents, but those presents
caused his arrest on the charge of OPP
Grating a blind tiger.
Shorty" used to be member of the
police department until Chief of Police
Kinney started an investigation about
some whisky that had been stored in
the basement at headquarters more than
year ago. Lucas resigned on Oct. 2G,
1919.
That cdse had nothing to do with the
present one which landed Shorty" in
police court today. Shorty" has party
telephone line, or possibly the wires were
crossed. At any rate he has a woman
neighbOr who thinks nothing Of listening
in on the telephone line. She called the
police and furnished the department with
the information that a man would call
at the Lucas home in one hour to pur-
chase whisky. Therefore Lieutenant
Houston and Sergeant Chitwo0d found it
advisable to be in "Shorty's" neighbor-
hood in Just. one hour"
In City Court they testified they went
to Lucas Rural street home and were
searching the house when two men ap-
peared, and, seeing the police, hurriedly
departed.
However, the officers had as evidence
in court one quart of Rossville Bourbon,
bottled in 1920; three pints of Lexington
Club, bottled in 1920; one empty pint
whisky bottle and three empty quart bot
ties.
Lieutenant Houston testified that Lu-
cas- told him that the whisky had been
presented to him as a Christmas present.
each bottle being a present from a man
who has offices In the Merchants Banh
building
There was no evidence of SALE and
these We're Christmas presents" said Spe-
cial Judge James T. Deery. 1.-THE de-
PENDANT Is discharged"
The judge had put the JOY back ii
life fer shorty"

Hope to Write Book
of Life.

ARDMORE, Okla, Dec. 27.-ClsFss
Smith Hamon, charged with murder in
connection with the death Of Jake l. Fla
mon, empire builder" of Oklahoma
and politician, probably will not be tried
until after Jan. II, il was stated today.
Frequent conferences between Clara
Hamon and her attorneys are thrilling
Ardmore's community life. 4 number
of prominent Ardmorites also visited the
offices of Mathers & Coakley, her counsei,
during the day, but the attorneys refused
to reveal the purpose of these visits.
Mrs. Hamon, after spending the night
again at her sisters home in Wilson,
Okla, motored into Ardmore during the
morning From then until late in the
day, she either attended conferences in
her lawyers offices or remained in Sc
clusion at the same hotel where Hamon
received his death wound.
Frank L. Ketch, former manager of the
slain oil king, and now administrator
Of mis- estate, has returned TO Ardmore
from Texas. He was expected to meet
Mrs. lannon's attorneys during the day
as well as the accused woman.
The woman is not embittered towss

she confded.
Clara Hamon then declared supreme
faith in God" explaining were 1t not for
this she would nave been unable to have
withstood what she had
The woman revealed a secret hope TO
write a book-perhaps the story of her
life-but also expressed fears that her
education was no. sufficient for the
task.
She likes to read, she said, and turns
now when she wants a laugh, to Cohen's
negro stories. Books. magazines, cur
rent literature and history she named as
furnishing enjoyment.
Already Clara Smith Hamon is receiv-
ing offers Ito go into the movies or to
take the lecture Platform. But her plans
are vague"
She was released on S12, 600 bond when
arraigned Christmas day and is now
staying at her sisters home, near here.

Mr. Weishaur suggested that these
freight trains be run through South

nues.
The board has been considering meth
dds Of lettering the interurban freight
situation for some time. Conditions here
are considered particularly bad by traf
fc experts, because OF the fact that
