SWINIDLER
MAKES SUCCESSFUL
GETAWAY; FUNDS
SHOULD GO TO co. {

What is regarded as one of the bold
est swindling schemes ever enacted
in this vicinity has thus far resulted
in success of the alleged swindler, and
members of the sheriffs force are now
on the lookout for the alleged per-
petrator in an effort to bring him to
justice Thus far, hundreds of Ard
more people are the losers as a result
Of the episode.
A man who gave his name az Jack
Butler, and who represented himself
as being the advance agent for the
Patterson-K Kline Shows, put in an ap-
pearance in Ardmore several weeks
ago, and represented to the members
OF Company E, of the Oklahoma Ma
tional Guard, in this city, that he had
purchased Ford Limousine from Tom
Cooper. He made proposition to
the guardsmen whereby they were to
receive 25 per cent of the net porifts
from the sale of the car by means Of
a rattle. The guardsmen agreed in
tending to use the 25 per cent for their
mess fund during the coming encamp-
ment at Ft. Sill. For about week,
the car could be seen standing at the
corner of Main and Washington
streets, and members of Company E
sold hundreds of tickets for the raf-
fle. Each night they turned in their
daily receipts to Butler.
Members Of the company estimate
that the total sales Of the tickets
amounted to more than $500.
Last Wednesday night Butler dis.
appeared and has not been seen since.
He took with him all the monies de-
rived from the sale Of the tickets.
Investigation revealed that Butler
had never paid for the automobile, az
the guardsmen allege he had told them,
and the car is now in possession OF
Tom Cooper Motor Company, where
it had been placed in storage each
night. According to reports, the ar
rangement which Butler had made
with the Cooper Motor Company were
to the effect that the car was to be
paid for after a sufficient number OF
tickets were sold to cover its price.
The case is now in the hands of the
county attorney. The complaint
lodged is for operation of q gambling
device"

FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS OF CARPENTER IN TRAINING QUARTERS

These photographs Of Georges Car
pentier, heavyweight champion Of Eu-
rope, were made the day before he be-
gan hard training for his worlds
championship bout with Jack Demp-
sey. For several days following his
arrival from France, he had been do
ing some gymnasium work and shad
dow boxing at his Long Island train
ing quarters. In his shadow boxing
the French idol showed some remark
ably fast footwork. Carpenter is shown
punching the bag.
The advance sale Of seats for the
Dempsey Carpenter bout has, thus far,
exceeded anything known in the annals
Of sportdom. Betting has not yet mar
rowed down to odds, but it is probable
that ere long the sporting fraternity
will pick one or the other Of the big
boys as the one on whom to place their
