peated this evening. is indeed one
of the best comedies of the sea-
son. It is simply chock full of hui
NOR, mostly built on familiar fam
lily quarrels. A family has become
entirely too extravagant, and as
the play opens father is having
one of his first Of the month
moods" as he opens bill after bill.
His manager and he change places,
the father going off on a business
trip up the Amazon, where you
have to row six miles to even see
an American woman and leaves
Adam Smith as head of his family,
with only a certain allowance to
run the household upon. At a most
opportune time he conceives the
idea of breaking the family Of its
extravagant ways by announcing
that the fortune has been lost. He
succeeds in getting them to move
to the farm up in New Jersey to
which their father had threatened
to send them, and gets them inter
ested in raising chickens and bees.
Eva, the unmarried daughter, has
two suitors, young doctor and
Lord Andrew. The doctor retires
when the fortune is gone, but Lord
Andrew sticks, goes into the livery
stable business and makes good. 1t
is on the farm that the father finds
his daughters, his cousin, Uncle
| Horace, his son-in-law and Adam
when he returns. OF course Adam
eats of Eva's apple, and everything
ends beautifully. It's a clever bit
OF clean comedy which everybody
can enjoy.

circumstances as the state charges,
yet there is doubt whether their
would be admissible, for
1t would have to be made legally
plain that Hamon knew he was
dying when he made any such
statement.
1t is generally believed that the
men named will relate a hitherto
unheard account of lannon's YER
sion Of the shooting, and that this
version will not accord with that
Of self-defense told by the accused
woman.
More than 4s hours elapsed
from the time Hamon entered the
hospital until his condition became
critical. His temperature in the
meantime was nearly normal and
he was able to converse deliberate
ly and at length.
During this time Ketch had much
to talk over with Hamon. He knew
every detail Of lannon's oil and
railway business and was familiar
with his innermost private affairs.
Ketch Keeps Silence.
Since the hour of the shooting
Ketch has kept silent. except to
give out lannon's message "for
publication" that the shooting was
accidental.
But that Ketch's story --under
oath will be something entirely
different is looked for, and numer-
Gus other friends of Hamon who
talked with him while he lay on
his deathbed are expected to cor
roborate the story Ketch will tell.
Clara Hamon, in an interview
given while she was in Mexico, was
quoted as saying that the gun with
which she shot Jake Hamon had
been given to her by Hamon him
self.

Ardmore, Okla, March 9.-The
prosecution has succeeded in keep
ing a mystery the principal points
on which it will try to send Clara
Smith Hamon to the penitentiary
for the murder Of Jake Hamon.
But three features are expected
to develop at the trial, starting
March 10, Of the young woman who
shot and killed the multi-million-
aire oil man and politician after
associating openly with him for 10
years. They are:
First-That Hamon was being
blackmailed on the day he was
shot, Sunday. Nov. q.
Second-That Hamon, after Civ
Ing the world his word that the
shooting was an accident, changed
his version.
Third-That Clara Hamon, only
two weeks before the shooting
bought the fatal revolver in Okla
homa City. .......-
On these points, 1t is expected,
Attorney General Prince Freezing
will rely to prove that the killing
was done with deliberate premedi-
tation.
Blackmail Charge.
The story common in Ardmore
Is that during the afternoon pre-
ceding the evening Of the shooting,
Hamon was in his Offices opposite
the Hotel Randol, where he and
Clara Hamon we're living.
Friends were with him. and
frequently he was called to the
telephone. The conversation indi-
Gated that several OF these calls
came from the same person-but
not Clara Hamon. Once Hamon
Is said to have shouted:
"You damned blackmailer, ]
know why you are in town."
Then he slammed the receiver
on the hook in great anger.
Little has been limited as to the
possible identity of~the telephone
caller, but it is believed the state
may attempt to show that Clara
Hamon, facing a parting forever
with the man who had decided to
90 back to his wife and children,
might have been inspired by this
mysterious caller to shoot Hamon.

The word was given out at the
hospital, and later by lannon's
friends who. called on him there,
including Frank Ketch, his gen.
eral manager, that Hamon said he
had shot himself accidentally.
But Clara Hamon since then has
admitted she shot Hamon, claim
ing it was done in self-defense.

That the prosecution will seek

ludL Tue prosecution Will seek
to prove that Clara, not Hamon,
bought the gun in an Oklahoma
City hardware store is one prob
able angle of the forthcoming trial.
The Oklahoma law requires that
every sale Of firearms must be reg
istered on the books of the concern
that sells.
1t is said that the state will at
tempt to show that the revolver
which figured in the Hamon trag-
edy was purchased about a fort
night before the shooting.
Previous Gun Episode.
Also it is expected the state may
attempt to prove that Clara Hamon
on one previous occasion drew a
gun on Hamon. The story, which
so far has not been positively es-
tablished, is that a friend OF Ha-
mons entered his room suddenly
just at the moment the girl was
pointing a gun at Hamon.
II beg your pardon; do I in
trude! the VISITOR Is reported to
have asked, whereupon Hamon
knocked the weapon from the sur
prised girls hand.
The state, also. is expected to
summon as a witness a reporter
who claimed Clara Hamon told him
after she had decided to surrender
and stand trial:
Jake was always cruel and
snarling with me. That bullet
which killed him should have been
fired 10 years ago. l was advised
to kill him-yes, by several Of the
biggest men in Oklahoma.
But Clara Hamon, taking the
stand in her own defense, is
counted on to deny each and every
one of these points by the prose
cution.

Thirteen months ago, Edward

Nothing daunted, they plunged
into the Jungle and through sheer
nerve obtained the most marvellous

These are only a few of the

ALPS MINE SHORTLY

PRODUCTION

The work of rppening the Alps
Mine has now reached the point
where ore production will shortly be
resumed. The shaft has been clean
ed out and we'll rendered and the
sampling of the ores exposed in the
old workings will determine the fu-
ture work. 1t is now planned to
rssn a cross cut to the porphyry dixie
and thoroughly explore the ada
cent areas. This dixie has apparently
caused the extreme mineralizati IN
demonstrated in the Alps territory
and but little work has been one
adjacent to the dixie below the 15O
foot level, leaving much interesting
country to prospect.
All the work accomplished at the
Alps Mine has been done with the

BLASTING ACID AWARDED TO
NEVADA By GOVERNMENT

The federal government is sending
out millions of pounds of picric acid
to be used in the clearing of land by
farmers and Nevada has been appor-
toned $4,000 pounds.
Shis acid is to be used the same as
commercial dynamite, but is much
safer and has greater strength. Six
ounces of picric acid are equal in
strength to eight ounces of dynamite,
but requires a stronger cap to set it
off.
In order to secure this acid it will
be necessary to get in touch with the
County Farm Bureau agent, who will
attend to distributing it. This acid
will ge given to farmers without
charge, it being necessary to pa,
a small fee of six cents a pount
to the government for packing, AM
a small charge for shipping.

VISIT P|OCHE LODGE

The Phoebe Oddfellows Lodge was
again honored last Tuesday by the
visit of large number of the mem
bers of Meadow Valley Lodge No.
40, which was recently installed by
Grand Master Armstrong at Caliente.
The Second degree was conferred

After the conclusion Of the work
the Phoebe Lodge voted to return the

the earliest possible moment. This
exchange of visits between the two
lodges is most helpful to both and
promotes a feeling Of good fellow

CROPS IN

Warm weather continued until
Monday when there was change to
normla temperatures. The mean
temperature for the week was about
6 degrees above normal. Daily max
imum temperatures were in the
nineties until Monday and Tuesday
when they ranged from S4 to IS de-
grees in the north and west portions.
Thunder showers occurred at places
in the west portion on the 21st and
22nd, and at widely scattered places
in other sections of the state. The
precipitation was generally light, al
though some heavy local showers
ere reported. The sunshine and the
wind movement were about normal.
The cooler weather at the close OF
the week was beneficial to ranses
grain crops, alfalfa, potatoes, berries
and garden truck. The high tenn
peratures and dry weather caused
shrinkage in dry-land grain crops
which were in fine condition weel
or two ago, but the dry, warm wealth
er was unfavorable, especially in thu
extreme south portion, where TIN
drought has been more severe. Th
dry-land wheat and rye in the Wy;
and Metropolis districts are good
but they are suffering slightly on &C
count of the dry weather. Irrigate
crops are good to evcellent in al
sections of the state. Small area
