THUMBS DOWN ON ARBUCKLE

Often the public is a slow critic and is more often
inclined to uphold person prominent in the lime
light rather than condemn him
1t happens just the reverse in the OF Roscoe
(Fatty) Arbuckle film comedian who is held for
the murder OF Virginia Rappe in San Francisco.
Almost without warning the critics of staid Boston
turned thumbs down and motion picture exhibitors
OF Massachusetts banned his pictures until the charge
is upheld or the comedian is exonerated.
Like wdfire, other cities and states took up the
torch and the literal burning OF some OF the best
comedies OF the past decade seems to be started.
Los Angeles exhibitors, towusmen OF Arbucke, have
stopped the showing OF his masterpieces Mayor
Walton OF Oklahoma City has asked the exhibitors
to hold off temporarily.
Perhaps these leaders and critics are doing right;
they know their business; they figure their profits
and losses. Their livelihood depends upon their
judgment.
But what OF the theatre-oving people OF this
country Canada England and France These peo
pie have taken Fatty to their hearts and he is re-
garded as the foremost film comedian today He has
had no peer since the demise OF John Bunny
Arbucke has given his best to the films. He has
given the low, comedy of years ago a
tone that is appealing. His efforts have been put
forth to bring comedy into popular favor since it
dragged low in the Legitimate stage. He has
caused short story writers to turn out wholesome
stuff that has the approval OF the best maga-
zine editors OF the day.
1t might be said that Arbuckle and Al Tolson
are the foremost wholesome comedians in their re-
spective lines today True there is the Mack Senne
congregation, Harold Lloyd Charles Chaplin. little

large following. Still Arbuckle, like John Bunny
has held clean humor throughout his stage lie
and to destroy his work now would be to destroy
some OF the finest, best, most costly productions
that have been presented to theatre lovers.
We believe that the exhibitors and critics who
have been hasty in condemning Arbuckle will go
bit SLOW when they have considered the extent OF
their condemnation.
If Fatty Arbuckc is guilty OF a capital ofense

has been in the west vouch for the fact that
Justice is mcted out in all cases. Ii his guilt is

BEGIN TO DRILL
new OIL WELL
LARGE DRILLING OUTFIT NOV
ED To FARM NEAR ADAIR TO
BEGIN OPERATIONS.

Arrival of the first rig of the Wal
nut Development company and the
hauling OF ii to the location for
drilling on the acreage acquired, is
the latest development in the Adair
field.
With its equipment on the ground
the syndicate has advanced to a
stage where drilling is the next
thing on the program. The days Of
actual development are at hand, and
as rapidly as possible the first well
will be put down.
Construction Of a camp is now
started and before the end of the
week rig builders are expected to be
engaged in the erection of a tower.
Rigging up will not require very
long after the derrick is built and
before many days time the Walnut
Syndicate will be ready to spud in.
Last spring a company of Walnut
men organized a syndicate for the
purpose of carrying on an active
drilling campaign. Approximately
10000 acres of land lying within
radius of five miles of Adair were
leased for oil and gas. Articles of
incorporation were urdWu up anu
filed and stock subscribed. This
caused bit of furry in other fields
and men were sent in to secure a
few leases on the outside of the ter
ritory. Even the Standard Oil com
pany heard the ''yowP' of the Adair
wildcat and secured several leases
to hold and await developments.
After the leases were recorded the
biologists accompanied by the Adair
band and townspeople marched to
the Henry Gebers farm, three-quar-
tiers of a mile north of Adair' and
into Guthrie county. Here, after
appropriate ceremonies, he drove a
stake indicating the spot where the
first test well would be put down.
On account OF many precautions
taken and the monetary stringency.
operations were unavoidably de-
layed until now. Tuesday morning
two car loads OF machinery valued at
$4,000 consisting of drill. engine,
rigging gigs and booms were un-
loaded in the Rock Island freight
yards. The hauling of this equip
ment to the Gebers farm began on
Wednesday.

Tennigkeit n, @stified on direct
examination that ne left for Colora-
do in March following the incident
in Audubon. In 1920 he brought a
damage suit against the Winninger
brother out there as the result of a
persoI al encounter.
Attorney White produced tram
script of Tennigkeit's testimony in
that case and read from 1t the ques-
tions propounded to him and his an
swers. With some qualifications
Tennigkeit admitted that the testi-
mony was practically as he had
given it.
In that testimony he claimed that
he made from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year on the Audubon farm and that
the injuries he claimed in Colorado
were not received in the Audubon af-
fair and that the affair was not SER
ious. He testified in the Colorado
case that he was not hurt in the Au-
dubon affair.
Tennigkeit admitted that he had
refused to go out of the back door of
the bank on the sheriff's suggestion.
Didn't Sheriff Wilson tell you
that il you would go to the door and
tell the boys that you would do
something for the Red Cross and be
loyal in the future that they would
be satisfied, in his opinion" asked
White.
"I do not remember such a re-
mark" Tennigkeit replied.
