ARDMORE-A CITY or
STEADY GROWTH.

The person who is busy and does
not take the time to look into the
details Of the growth of this city, will
be interested in some figures that
have been secured regarding the
growth of Ardmore, as viewed from
the addition of telephones.
A visit to the office of the South
western Bell Telephone Company
here has gained information of the
most inspiring kind regarding the
fine growth of the telephone business
IN this city, which is q good baro-
meter Of the conditions of a city.
In 1911 Admore had 1859 tele-
phones.
In lsl2-l209 telephones
In lsl3-1247 telephones
In 1914-13s0 telephones
In lsl5-l4s1 telephones
In 1sle-1554 telephones.
In 1sl7--lS41 telephones.
In 191s-2004 telephones
In 19l9-2295 telephones
In 1s2O-253O telephones
In 1s2l-305e telephones.
The above does not include the
number of rural phones, which now
number 240 out Of this city.
The above shows that Ardmore is
making a substantial growth, and a
gradual growth that has not been
abated the past ten years. With this
same proportional growth the next
ten years Ardmore will have a popu-
lation Of near 10000 people Ardmore
is one Of the few cities in the south
west, located one hundred miles from
any other city as large as it is, and
this fact gives to this city a very
large distributing territory and not
to mention the oil and the agricul-
tural interests, the distributing in
terests alone will make this city grow
to larger proportions.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1921-07-06

The fact that the Frisco has re-
opened its large shops at Springfield,
Missouri, speaks we'll for the south
west getting back to normal condi-
tons. Perhaps after all the matter
Of getting used TO conditions will
bring us a feeling Of prosperity. The
statement was made by some one
recently that 1t was not a matter Of
hard times coming, but good times
going and normal times returning.

Or did the senators from the grass

Perhaps the senate of the United

legislation in this hour Of stringency

Fake Check Fails
To Bring Returns

An unsuccessful attempt to pass a
worthless check for 1885 on L. S.
Rountree, local furniture dealer, by
forging the name of V. f. Ware, FL
Paso contractor who is well known
here, was discovered yesterday when
the check came back marked for
gerry" and was explained by Rountree
to the end that other merchants will
not be taken in by similar deal.
A man giving the name of Marion
Hitler entered Rountree's furniture
store last Tuesday and selected fur
niture to the value of 5000. In pay
ment of this bill he gave Rountree a
check for $235, made payable to Mari
on Hitler, bearing the signature of
V. E. Ware, and drawn on an FL Paso
bank. To give the check the appear
ance of authority it was rubber
stamped Nv. E. Ware, Contractor"
Hitler explained TO Rountree that he
had been employed by Ware and that
the check was in payment of services.
He expected Rountree to accept it in
payment for the bill of S209 and to
give him the balance of $26 i'm cash
Rountree took the check, but as. he
did not happen to have S26 in cash in
the store and the banks were closed
he told Hitler to return and get his
change next day. Hitler never show
ed UP again, and the check came back

mony of the killing of Fisher and pos
itively identified the two Mexicans as
the two who did the shooting on the
night of May 4th.
She went into detail regarC-s::g tsS

the murder had been clearly establish
ed by the state without doubt, Jas.
F.. Mcdonald, former sheriff of Co
chise county, was placed on the stand
for expert testimony on the science OF
finger prints, and he was onst the stand
interposing number of objections as
to the theories drawn. He, too, iden-
titled the two prints of Garcia as
those made by the same man, and at
times during his and Murchison's ex
animation the Moon case, a finger
print conviction, from Cochise county,
was cited by the court and attorneys.
Dr. w. A. Greene, of Douglas, was
on the stand short time before even
ing recess was taken, his testimony
dealing chiefly with the wounds re-
ceived by Fisher which caused his
death.
Attending the trial are a number of
interested spectators, including Mr..
and Mrs. John H. Slaughter, Mrs.
Fisher, the widow of Jess Fisher, and
children and other relatives. The
defendants, who do not understand
English, are attentive listeners to the
testimony through John Igo, court in
terpreter.
1t is possible the case will go to
the jury by tomorrow noon, as the de-
Tense will only put on two witnesses,
the two defendants.
Following DR.. Greene, Ed Leahy,
deputy sheriff, was on the stand when
evening recess was taken, his testi-
mony dealing mostly with the charac-
ter of wounds made in the body of
Fisher, with reference, to rifle bull
