believe that Mcbride had
been threatened before he left
Oklahoma, and tried to evade
this man, who he had crooked
into an oil claim long ago; this
man ! presume was q crook
himself, and tried to make con-
cessions with Mcbride himself
without publicity. but seeing that
IL was Of no use, swore to seek
vengence.
This man, I presume, was well
known by the crooks In New
York, and there he hired the
men 10 do the killing, which was
well planned by educated crooks
themselves. Then he left for his
home town, which ] believe must
be. near that of Mcbride, and
then watched for the results
which followed from the gang.
sters after they had succeeded
In carrying out the plans.
Get the man who was out Of
town In Oklahoma during the
Elks convention. who had a
grievance against Mcbride and
followed him to, New York and
Atlantic City for this purpose.
The fellow who shot pool with
him, believe. was one Of the
gangsters; but get the man In
Oklahoma and he will clear this
up for the police.

wish to express my opinion
In regard to the brutal murder
OF Mr.. Mcbride. I don't think
N was anyone that followed him
here TO commit the crime. IL Il
was any Of his associates that in
tended to do such they would
have waited for him to return
West and then accomplished their
Job.
II was just frame-up OF some.
one that makes q practice Of
lettering around different clubs
and waiting for such men as Mr..
Mcbride.
/ No doubt the stranger became
acquainted through the game Of
billiards and then ended In Mr..
Mcbride following the stranger In
search for whiskcy. After the
stranger had phoned his hacker
friend to call at the club for

hacker write . note to the edi-
tor saying he carried party to
the spot where the murder was
committedf And why didn't he
call In person. "R."
The Washington times., 1922-08-21

y ! firmly believe the motives In
the Mcbride care were regarding
money matters and revenge. The
murder was contemplated by two
parties, q man and q woman, both
Of Oklahoma. I also think robbery
n blind because Of the fact that
they could not have pawned the
articles secured, for fear Of detec-
ton, had Il been their desire.
Regardless Of the fact that they
did not actually kill Mcbride, Il
think it was done by proxy, so rs
to prove an abibi and that an In
dian was bribed TO accomplish Il.
Mcbride had probably incurred the
anger Of the man and had proved q
rival regarding the money for the
woman.
/ do not think the man hired for
the deed Is In ID. G, mt present, but
I do think that the parties who
planned Il waited until Barney Nc
Bride visited ID. G. and had u done
here so as TO shed suspicion ON
persons OF Washington, instead Of
Oklahoma. I think the guilty per-
sons are all Of the murdered mans
iMissS GLORIA GREENLEE

The fundamental and causative
factor for the Mcbride murder can,
In my opinion, be attributed to
business feud, principally. located
In Muskogee. As the population OF
Muskogee consists chiefly OF min
ing or prospecting Whites investi-
CATION Of party Of this race
without consideration OF the In
dian race, II advised.
1t Is my belief that Mcbride, hav-
ing previously gained some func-
tionary's support, came to wash

business project In which another
party Ia antagonistically though,
perhaps, Justly, concerned. Be

are making an effort to become at

order to connect these districts it
will be necessary to include a con-

The company is investigating the

does not make too great an increase
In their taxes they will be willing
to have their land included in the

ARNiORY IS NOW FITTED
OUT WITH $50 NEW CHAIRS

Monte Vista's new Armory is now
fitted with chairs, as a carload ship
ment Of $50 chairs were placed In
that building Friday OF last week.
The total cost OF these chairs Is
about $4,000, and the sum was
raised thru the efforts of the Com
mercial club. r. ]. Kavalec was
chairman Of the Armory committee,
and the personel of the committee
to supervise the soliciting Of funds
to furnish the building with chairs
was George Boutwell,, w. NJ. Wood,
Charles Edman. H. l.. Stitt and W..
F. Farren. A tag day" was insti-
tuted Tor Tuesday, April 20, when
the price OF chair was solicited
from individuals, and each contri-
butor was tagged. A considerable
sum was thus raised. though not
nearly enough for the purpose.
Afterward the committee just kept
at 1t, and by personal solicitation Of
business firms and public spirited
Vic ouiA wac iaisSu.
The greater number of the chairs.
500, are regulation opera chairs in
groups of two and three, so arranged
that they may be folded and stacked
flat when the floor is to be cleared
and the remaining $50 are ordinary
single folding chairs for use in case
Of extra large crowds. This gives
the Armory seating facilities for
almost any occasion. Heretofore,
when the Armory was used 1t was
necessary to borrow the chairs from
the w. o. w. hall, the churches, or
any place where chairs were avail
able. but now the seating facilities
are OF the best.
1t is considered that much credit
Is due the committee who had this
work In charge. as the seating of the
| Armory fills the need OF the COM
munity for suitable auditorium
for general use. Tuesday OF last
week the order was sent in to Dem
yer by w. X. Wilson, with q request
to shoot, and the shipment was
shot with satisfactory prompt
ness.

STATE WHEAT ACREAGE IN
1921 LARGEST IN HISTORY

Reports Of county assessors to
the State immigration department
showed total Of 1.7S6,00O acres
Of wheat grown in Colorado in 1921.
which was the largest acreage ever
grown in the history of the state.
Comparison with records for other
states shows that Colorado last year
ranked thirteenth among the states
in acreage devoted to this crop and
fourteenth In total production. The
year was very unfavorable for
wheat production In the state and
the total yield was far below nor
NAL. Under normal conditions the
state should have ranked no lower
than tenth in total production.
The rapid growth of Colorado az
q wheat state is well illustrated by
comparison Of these figures with
those reported by the census bureau
for 1909. That year Colorado re-
ported $4,000 acres of wheat. or
little less than eight-tenths Of one
percent Of the total acreage for the
country. Its rank among the state
at that time was twenty-third. In
1921 Colorado's wheat acreage was
28 percent OF the total for the
country. and in rank the state had
advanced to thirteenth.
Reports Of county assessors show
ed that 1896 percent of the total
acreage cultivated In the state in
1921 was devoted to wheat. this be-
ing the largest percentage devoted
to any single crop. Corn ranked
second. with 1889 percent. These
same reports show I'd that an aver
age of 26.95 acres OF winter wheat
was grown for every farm reported
as being operated in the. state in
1921. and an average OF 1928 acres
OF spring wheat, or q total OF 34.1S
acres Of wheat per farm. The near
est approach to this was made by
corn, which showed q total OF 20.O9
acres per farm.
The immense increase in acreage
OF wheat between 1909 and 1921
was due to the growing popularity
Of winter wheat in the non-irrigated
districts OF the state. OF the 34l,-
900 acres Of wheat grown in the
state in 1903 only $4,000 acres.
or about 37.2 was winter wheat. OF
the l.7S6,000 acres reported II
1921, 1.4OS.26O acres was winter
wheat, or 1884 percent. About 81
percent Of all wheat grown in the
state in 1909 was irrigated, while
in 1921 only 1856 percent Of all
wheat reported was irrigated. OF
the winter wheat reported only
1876 percent was irrigated.
The acreage of wheat grown in
the state IL increasing steadily each
year and Indications are that Colo
RADIO will advance to about eighth
rank among the states In wheat
acreage In few years.
