ORDERING BY MAIL
DOESN'T ALWAYS PAY

Last July |. Stations OF the Sha-
dy Grove section ordered barrel
OF paint from mail order concern
with which to paint his barn last
fall Time went on and he heard
nothing from his paint until cold
weather when 1t was too late to
use il. He refused to take it out
OF the freight s0ce and the finish
of theinteresting story was written
Monday in the Quarterly Court
when the mail order house obtained
Judgment against Mr.. Stations fol
the amount OF the shipment.
The moral is that IL the defen
dant in this suit had bought his
paint from one Of our good adver
tisers who sells paint, like the Ma
rion Hardware Co. or j. Fl. Orm'
or T. II. Cochran and Co. he woult
have gotten his paint when he want

UNDERDOWN HELD
FOR MANSLAUGHTER

The examining trial OF Henry
Underdown was held last Saturday.
Judge X. l.. Moore presiding.
The prosecuting was in the hands
of County attorney JnO. A. Moore
and the defending counsel was T.
c. Bennett.
The first witness was Mrs. Reece
UnderdOwn, widow OF the slain man,
who testified that she was with her
husband from the time he was
brought to the house until his death
on the train near MOrganheld while
enrOute to a hospital in Evansville.
She gave in detail the happenings
during this time but knew nothing
OF the quarrel and subsequent ia
tai blow except as related by the
defendant, Henry UnderdOwn.
She was followed to the stand
by the father and brother OF the
dead man, whose testimony was
substantially the same as that OF
the widow.
Dr.. A. j. Driskill OF Marion.
who was the physician called, tes-
tilted as to the time of the call and
the physical condition OF the man
when he arrived, also his opinion
as to what caused his death.
The substance Of the testimony
OF all the witnesses whom Henry
Underdown had taken into his con-
fidence regarding the AFFAIR Is that
early in the morning Henry Under
down had gone over to his brothers
farm to turn a hog into his lot, and
upon asking permission to do so
was told 1t would be all right that
time but the next time he would
have to pay for IL. This seemingly
peeved Henry little and one word
brought on another until, Henry
says, his brother rushed at him with
knife in his hand and having no
time to get away from the knife
struck his brother over the head
with the post hole digger he had at
the time. According to Henry he
then picked up the knife and started
for his home calling loudly to at
tract the attention OF the folks at
the house so as to summon aid for
his brother.
Henry then went back TO the scene
OF the quarrel with his father and
assisted Reece TO the house and a
physician called.
The defense called no witnesses
and offered no testimony from the
defendant, counsel being content
with telling the court 1t was a plain
case of self defense and client there
fore entitled TO exoneration.
The prosecutor in answer stated
that to his knowledge that in the
past few years human life had been
held too lightly In this county and
argued that the offense was at least
manslaughter.
The defendant was bound over
to the June term Of the Circuit
Court in the sum OF one thousand
dollars.

FERRIS SAYS WOMEN
TO PLAY POTENT PART
Congressman Says Women OF The State
WIFI Cnt Considerable Figure In
The Primaries And In November

The women of Oklahoma will play
a potent part in the state politics at
both primaries and the general elec-
tion. said Scott Ferris this week in dis
cussing the attitude Of women on pub
lie questions as he found il during his
tour of the State, which included visits
to $50 towns and cities in sixty-seven
counties.
"At all my meetings" Ferris said, II
found women composing a large part
Of my audiences They were extremely
alert and attentive. l found them
everywhere alive to the issues Of the
day and anxious to do all in their
power for the benefit of their party
and the state"
Ferris says the women are practical
ly unit for improved educational
facilities pertaining to the betterment
of labor conditions, child labor laws,
and stand steadfast for enforcement of
the prohibition amendment
In describing the interest shown by
the women voters wherever he spoke
Ferris told many incidents which gave
evidence that they were determined to
take part in the campaigns. At many
towns delegations called on the con-
gressman and asked his advice about
organization work. Women in all parts
of the state are playing a leading part
in the formation of s-for- Senator
clubs and in the activities of the Or
ganizations. Political schools are be-
ing conducted at which the election
laws are studied, especially those Sec
tions pertaining to registration.
