are encountered.
The connections have been made
with the Rock Island out of Liberal

completed to the city limits on the
west. Engineers are setting the
grade stakes and as soon as the steel
is laid to the city line, a work train

have the road to the Cimarron river

to build.

CONDITIONS BETTER
AT NORTH OIL TEST
Baler Has Been Taken From Hole and
Grew Is Now Baling
Out Sand

The outlook at the Seward County
Oil & Gas Company test on the
Sealey farm, north of Liberal, is
considerably brighter this week. The
drillers have finally succeeded in get
ting the baler which was buried by
quicksand, and are now baling the
sand from the hole. The 10-inch cas-
ing has been run to 1900 feet, and
indications are that they are about
through the sand.
It is hoped to have the 10-inch
set and drilling resumed early next
and this is possible should no fur
ther trouble develop.
A Democrat reporter interviewed
Ezra Shorb this morning and found
him feeling a great deal more opti-
mistic than for several weeks past.
Mr.. Shorb says that if they can be-
gin drilling early in the week and
nothing happens to stop the drill, te
shallow sand, which is supposed to
exist between fourteen and sixteen
hundred feet, can be penetrated
within the next two weeks.
Officers Of the company are set
ting great deal Of store on finding
something in this sand, and the opin-
ion is shared by others familiar with
the oil game, and all are anxious to
see the drill reach this depth. Two
towers will be run as soon as drilling
starts again, and every effort made to
complete a well before cold weather
starts in.
There are many rumors concern
ing the financial status Of the com
pany, but Mr.. Shorb laughs at these
rumors. He says the company has
always been able to raise the money
to keep the work going, and thai
while the available funds have beer
used pretty closely, he is not in tn,
least concerned over the money mat
ters, and that there is no ground
whatever for anyone to spread ad
verse rumors.
Conditions in the oil business arr
such that there is little likelihood Of
immediate development by any Of
the big companies, and it now looks
as if the Seward County Oil & Gas
company test was going to be the
only chance of getting something
right away. For this reason the test
is being watched with great deal of
interest by both the stockholders and
the public.

FRANK MILLER NOT
GUILTY IN MURDER
Stevens County Justice Frees Man
Charged With Completely With
Smith Murder

Frank Miller, charged as an acces-
sorry after the fact in the killing of
Henry Smith, is free man and will
not have to face a jury in the dis
trict court in Stevens county.
A preliminary hearing was held
at Hugoton the first of the week be-
fore Justice Bayles and the justice
could not see sufficient grounds for
holding Miller for the district court.
Several went from Liberal to at
tend the hearing and they are not at
all pleased at the outcome of the
case. According to reports, there
was ample evidence to warrant the
case being taken to the district court
and they were amazed when the
court rendered its verdict.
r Miller seemed to be very friendly
with Harry Ellis, seH-confessed MUIR
derer Of Smith, and it is thought by
those close to the inside that Miller
knew more about the case than has
been brought out. Detective Proper,
who worked on the case, advised
holding Miller for trial and said that
there was sufficient evidence to war
rant him being held.
OF course, Miller may be entirely
innocent Of any connection with the
crime, but the majority Of people
would have preferred to let jury
decide rather than one man. There
is general dissatisfaction here over
the outcome of the case.

LIBERAL LIONS" HOLD
FIRST SOCIAL MEETING

The first social meeting Of the
Lions Club Of Liberal was held at
the Cimarron hotel, Monday even-
in, September 18th, at 8 D. m.
when the Cubs entertained the Cub
lets. 1t was truly Ladies evening
and a very enjoyable time was had.
Chairman for the evening was G. L.
Light, and after a sumptious meal
the following short program was en-
joyed.
Piano, Miss Fern Crotts. The well
come to the ladies was given by Mr..
VI. A. Gaskill, and replied to by Mrs
Herbert Hobble. The next was a
musical number by theLions Trio,
consisting of Ed Donnelly, H. A.
Gaskill and Ray Kennedy. This was
much appreciated, as the singers are
well trained, and their execution was
fine, in fact, by the time they were
half through everyone was in favor
of it. These artists sing songs back
wards as well as correctly.
The roll was called in a novel way.
Every member was asked to answer
roll call by giving his wife's correct
age. Some of the smaller, weaker
members preferred to be checked ab-
sent rather than answer the call, and
the remainder of the members must
have married their better halves
when exceedingly young, as it was
Eighteen, he sure did "Raub" the
cradle.
An interesting talk was made by
H. Hobble defining the purposes and
intentions of the Lions club.
Short talks were made by DR.. F.
NJ. Beatty, c. M. Light and Chas.
Summers.
After this program two appica-
tions for membership wera presented
and referred to Chairman Raub Of the
membership committee. The evening
closed by all standing and singing

THE ELLIS CASE

The Hugoton Hermes last week con-
tanned quite an article regarding
the Harry Ellis case and asks the
public what should be done. It
seems that the Beaver county au-
thorities want Ellis to be brought
there for trial, while Stevens county
also would like to have Ellis tried
in that county. According to the
Hermes, if Ellis is tried in Kansas,
he can be sentenced to the penin-
tentiary, as the Kansas law is diff
ferent from that of Oklahoma, un-
der whose laws the best he could get
would be reformatory sentence.
If this is the case, he should be
tried in Kansas. Ellis is dangerous
character. With two cold-blooded
murders to his credit, the reforma-
tory is no place TO him. The chair
would be the thing, but on account Of
: bls youth, it is hardly likely that he
lywould receive that severe penalty
even tough Kansas laws recognized
the same.
The Democrat would like to see
this criminal tried where he could
receive the greatest punishment, and
we don't carr whether it is Africa
or Spain.
Ellis sould be punished severely
the more severely the better for
society in general.
