SORT OF MULE ON HIM

The Wichita Eagle carried little
feature story few days ago con-
corning one of our former townsmen,
Jack Vickers, son of W. H. Vickers,
of this city, to this effect:
"Jack Vickers, who plays polo as
we'll as he plays the oil game, and
that's speaking in six or seven fig
ures, bought fine polo mare few
weeks ago. He told his friends what
a wonderful purchase he had made.
He was also feeling tip top over the
fact that the beautiful little mare
would foal him a colt sired by a
"great polo horse, as Jack put 1t.
Jack is now in Colorado. The mare
is in the vickers' barn mothering a
long cared mule colt"

WHEAT YIELD GREATLY
SURPRISING FARMERS
Beaver County Farmers EIated Over
Yield in That Section-Better
Than Expected

A drive through the north side Of
Beaver county, Oklahoma, and talk
with some of the farmers of that sec
ton will convince one that the yield
Of wheat this year is one Of the best
that they have had there for several
years. The wheat has ripened very
unevenly, some of the farmers being
through cutting while some Of the
fields are just getting ripe. There
are hundreds and hundreds Of stacks
of fine wheat but there are thous-
ands and thousands of acres Of
standing grain between here and
Forgan. =
One farmer told Democrat repor-
ter that when he started to harvest
he thought that he would probably
have 5000 bushels Of wheat, but af-
ter about half of his wheat was in the
stack he believed he would have at
least 5000 bushels. We were talking
with him just as he had finished the
big job and he said that there was no
doubt in his mind but that he would
have as much as 1000 bushels.
This instance very we'll illustrates
the condition all over this part Of the
southwest. The yield is proving to
be considerably greater than anyone
had figured on. The grain is practi-
only thing now that can keep the
cally all of the good quality and the
farmers of the southwest from maxi
ing some real good money out Of
their years work is big drop in the
price of their product.

Coroner's jury Unable TO Place Blame
for Murder.

The ahsencs Of witnesses whose
names the attorney general 4 Office
and detective bureau withheld pre-
vented coroner's jury last night
naming am assailant in the case of
Samuel Christiana, who was shot and
killed on the street about two weeks

Jury states that Samuel Christia ma
met death on January by a gunshot
wound inflicted by an unknown as
sailant."
Coroner Bullock denied statements
attributed TO him that the witness had
been warned not TO appear" THE
names were simply withheld and
was unable to get track Of them" the
coroner explained. Because of the alb
sence OF these witnesses the jury was
unable to fasten the crime on Ralph
Olivia. indicted by the grand jury on
Thursday"
Both Captain Benson and Superin-
tendent Black said they did not con
slider it their duty to secure witnesses
for the coroner's Office. For that rea-
son and other reasons which concern
ed the police department and the at
torney- generals ONCE alone the names
Of the witnesses were withheld" they
said.
