main here for several days. They
are guests at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. A. Bodovitz at Gl9 A street

Mr.. Aaronson was in this city q

Before moving to Ardmore Mr.. Aar-
onson resided a. Whitesboro, Texas.
He knows all the old timers and Is
enjoying his visit with old time friends.
He says he can scarcely realize that
so many changes for the better have
been made here. He win visit the oil
fields and will observe the changes
that have been made in the rural dis
trcts. When he lived here there we're
no country roads and no country
schools and now he will observe roads
laid out on the section lines and Will
observe that none of the old states
of the union have better rural schools
than this section of old Indian Ter
riory.

BOLD, BAD BURGLAR
ROBS HOME OF THE
DISTRICT JUDGE

A bold, bad burglar swiped all the
eggs and bacon owned by Judge
Thomas w. Champion, at about 2
o'clock this morning. and although
the man was plainly seen by mem
bers of the family as he was making
hasty getaway they were powerless
to do thing for the reason that the
judge keeps his guns all cached at
Battle Springs and there was not
a shooting iron i'm the house.
About o'clock Mrs. Champion
was awakened by the dog making a
big racket and proceeded TO investit-
of some things but q few days pre-
vious, and as she and the Judge were
looking about the kitchen they saw
a white man garbcd in overalls and
wearing q dark coat and hat making
retreat from the rear Of the resi-
dence. The intruder had succeeded in
getting TO the refrigerator and was
trying to effect an entrance to the
kitchen when the dog gave the alarm
that aroused the family.
The judge had to content himself
with a dainty breakfast consisting Of
toast and cereals this morning be-
fore beginning the strenuous grind in
district court, but he announces that
there will be artillery in readiness
for the next hombre who tries to re-
lieve him of his hard earned bacon
and eggs in the future.
The police were called and are
making an effort To capture the thief

UNION JANITOR Is
FIRED, HOTEL Is
BOMBED SOON AFTER

Chicago, Feb. s.--A bomb exploded
early this morning in the courtyard
a few feet from the entrance OF 4
large apartment house, shattering win
dows and sending screaming women
and men guests scampering to the
street.
The detonation attracted police. who
saw an automobile racing away from
the scene. The recent discharge Of
the union janitor Of the building and
substitution Of q non-unlon man is
suggested as the cause OF the at
tack. The hotel manager. however,
believes his building was mistaken
for another sought by the bombers.
The apartment is extensively patron
lied by theatrical people.
