Mr.. Archibald Opened His Argumel
Wednesday Afternoon

Mr.. Archibald began his argument at
4:40 o'clock by quoting scripture in
answer to those which the other at
torneys had made. The letter from
Gates to Graham was analysed by sem
fences, with considerable detail, taking
UP testimony from other parts Of the
case to substantiate the letter. did

He said Benjamin Gates had been crit
icized by innuendo at least by the de-
Tense He said there has not been a
single thing shown here to show any
criticism of Benjamin Gates. The at
torney general played up political
pull" claiming Graham should have no
more influence than any person coming
through a courthouse door but he asked
the same Justice for a man who has
been governor that anyone else would
receive. He said the state only asked
for Justice, the same that would be
given a bootblack.

consideration should be given il because
an ex-governor had been tried than IL a

French woman, who had done much for
liberty, was executed, and claimed he

or other firearms, under penalty pre-
scribed
Section 439Sf prohibits the sale pos
session and bringing into state of fire

mite, mixture of dynamite, or other
high explosive mixtures, explosive
canes, using blank cartridges or ex-
plosive paper caps. blank cartridge
pistols, or any firecrackers more than
three inches in length and one-h half
inch in diameter
Order 6095 Of the General Orders on
Fire Prevention reads as follows.

Hurley IA, Park Falls 3.

Fans who went to the local ball
park last Sunday with the expecta-
tion of seeing good game were
sorely disappointed. instead they
sat through nine innings of good
practice for the local aggregation.
Park Falls was no match for Hur-
ley, the latter nine piling up a score
of II to 3 for the visitors. If that
was a paid team" that Park Falls
sent here surely they were paid in
advance, for after putting up an
article of bali such as they did here
their pay check would be a small
one.
Park Falls had one good player
and he is one armed at that. He
played in the field and his work in
batting, catching flies and covering
his position alone was worth the
price of admission. With two arms
that lad would pull down larger
pay-check than all the rest of the
aggregation together.
Rigoni worked on the mound for
Hurley and although he got bad
start he pitched creditahle game
Armstrong and Oakes divided the
pitching honors for the visitors
The loose playing by Park Falls
infested the ranks of the home boys
at times and four errors were mark
ed up against them. With such a
soft bunch to play against it was to
be expected that the Hurley lads
would not put forth their best eff
o:ts, hence the slip-ups.
The tabulated score:

McRANIELE GETS THREE
YEARS IN STATE PRISON
Man Who Was Found Guilty of Robb-
ing Benedetto Destafani Sentenced
to Waupun by Judge Risiord.

Joseph McRaniele, convicted OF
robbing in circuit court last week
must spend three years in the state
prison at Waupun. This sentence
was meted ont on Wednesday by
Judge G. N. Risjord. Yesterday
morning Undersheriff Vincent Flat
eau took the prisoner to Waupun.
The crime for which McRaniele
was given a prison sentence was
that of assaulting and robbing
Benedetto Destafani late one night
last April. Destafani was walking
10 his home in the Cary location
after spending the evening in the
city, during which he took part in
a dice shaking game in local sa-
loon with McRaniele and a number
of others, and when he reached
Erspamer's meat market was way
laid and robbed of sum of money
and a watch, according to the COM
plant made against McRaniele,
who was placed under arrest the
following day. His case was tried
in circuit court last week and after
an all-night session the jury return
ed verdict of guilty.
John Conhartoski, found guilty
of larceny from the person, was
sentenced to two years in the state
reformatory at Green Bay. He is
20 years old. The complainant in
this case, Steve Rodek, charged
Conhartoski with relieving him of
$3.50 in a local saloon several mon.
tbs ago. The jnry in circuit court
last week returned a verdict of
guilty after deliberating for six
hours.
The criminal action against Mich
Catalinich, charged with shooting
Dan Chutich in an affray at the
Chutich home last winter, will
come up for trial at the next term
of circuit court. Catalinich, who
pleaded guilty to the lesser charge
of assault with intent to do bodily
harm, later decided to withdraw
his plea and stand trial on the
charge of attempt to murder, He
is out on bail. Matt Catalinich,
who it is alleged was an accomp-
lice in the shooting affair, is also
out on bail and will be tried at the
next term of court.
The June term of circuit court
came to a close Wednesday noon.

Not many persons know where Olden, Texas,
n situated Not many care. But there are
some persons who do know where Olden is and
have made good bet on it.
And this is the second time that a bet has
been made on Oden. Years ago, just after the
Texas & Pacific Railroad built from Fort Worth
to Ell Paso, promoter found gold mine where
the present town now is. He brought score
of prospectors here and they searched for the
gold, but did not find it, Those who were not
broke left in disgust. Those who could not get
away stayed in the country and went to stock
farming and to working for one another.
That was thirty years ago. Today there is
not one of those original gold prospectors left
to tell the story Of how he was duped into COM
ing into this field in search of gold. Tradition,
however, has handed this gold story down TO
the sons and grandsons of the first god-seek-
ers, and these sons and grandsons still live
here. But, to make a long story short, that
gold mine has been discovered at last and the
gold is liquid gold. The sons and grandsons
of the men who came here thirty years ago are
now richer by far than their fathers and grand
fathers ever expected TO be.
Olden is situated halfway between Ranger
and Eastand. From actual pipe line figures
this district during the past three months has
been producing more oil than any other district
in Texas. II will take five years more to fully
develop the field in the opinion of experts.
The present Olden was started by the Mag
nolia Petroleum Company little more than a
year ago. Magnolia has spent a cool million
dollars in the Olden district in that time. There
is no telling how many millions it has made
from the Olden field. Also there is no telling
how many millions more it will make
