NARROW ESCAPE
OF NORMAN BOY
Quick work on the part of Grove j
C. Brown, a motorman on the
Norman interurban line, saved the |
life of little Ezra Thompson, 9 j
years old, of Norman, who was
sleeping on the car track Satur-
day afternoon.
While going south on car No.
9 near stop 17, Brown detected an
object on the track ahead. At
first he thought it \\as a chicken.
The car was going at great speed
and Brown kept watching the ob-
ject closely.
As he drew near he saw it was
sa boy and hurriedly put on the
brakes. The boy was awakened

his home. He said he had been
waiting for the car.—Oklahoman.
GRAND OPENING
OF DOLL'S PARK
There was a tremendous crowd
at Doll's Park on Monday night,
the occasion being the formal
opening of the big swimming pool.
The Norman cornet band was
present and discoursed sweet
music for several hours, and the
exercises consisted of numerous
swimming and diving contests.
Everyone present was surprised
and pleased at the arrangements

A Statement from Cleveland
Countv Development Comoanv
Shall the Well on the Braman Farm be Abandoned
and all the Work be Lost, or Shall the Effort
be Made to Increase the Capital Stock and
Continue the Drilling to Required Depth? Up
to the Stockholders.
At a meeting of the officers and directors of the Cleveland
County Development company held on Saturday night, Aug-
ust 2, 1919, the present condition of affairs in regard to the
Braman well was gone into thoroughly and the question dis-
cussed as to whetner it would be' best to liquidate, or en-
deavor to go on with the work. If liquidated, the casing
and equipment on hand will possibly pay all debts but will
leave virtually nothing for the 700 stockholders. This, of
course would necessitate abandonment of the project, and
it was judged best to put the matter squarely up to the stock-
holders, which will be done at a meeting to be held on Monday
August 18, at 2 o'clock at the Court House in Norman.
At that meeting all the cards will be laid upon the table
for the benefit of the stockholders, the history of, the project
outlined, the present condition of affairs, the expectations,
what it will take to finish the work, and everything con-
nected with it, and if the work is to be continued, what will
be necessary to be done to continue it. |
Briefly, the wll is now down 2500 feet, which is 700 feet
further than any other well has reached in Cleveland county.
Having reached that depth, the officers and directors are now
in a position to go,to the big oil companies who have promis-
ed them their support when that depth was reached to assist
in putting it down 500 feet more. 1 hat money is ready, but
the officers and directors must bind themselves to go the ad-
ditional 500 feet before they can get it. The money they get
from the big oil companies will not be sufficient to drill the
additional 500 feet, so it will be necessary for the present
stockholders or new ones to subscribe for additional stock
so that sufficient funds can be raised to continue the work.
It has therefore been decided by the officers aqd directors,
if the stockholders think the work should be continued, to
increase the capital stock of the company to $50,000 (it is
now $30,000) and make an effort to sell an additional $10,000
to put the well down to the required depth.
Every officer and every director feels that this should be
done and are willing to go their limit in taking the additional
VISITED OLD TIMER DILBECK'S TRIAL
Sebe and Lish Howery and
R. E. Clement, sen., returned Sat-
urday from a visit with their old
friend, "Red" Alexander, at Alex,
Okla., and report a fine time.
Time was when "Red" was a welt
known man in Norman, formerly
living here, and after moving to
Alex, visiting here every once in
a while, but it has been years
since he's been here. His visit-
ors say that although he is now
something like 88 years of age he
is still quite active, and bids fair
to live many more years. Al! his
boys except one are dead, and the
one does not live at home. Mr.
Alexander still owns something
like 250 acres of land and is well
provided for in his old age.
The preliminary hearing of Tom
Dilbeck, in conenction with th
| killing of Frank Wolf, will be
j held at the district court room
beginning at 10 o'clotk on Wed
j nesday morning. Owing to the
| interest taken in it by the citizen-
j ship, a large audience is expected.
No trouble is expected but the of-
ficers will see to it that there is
no trotfble.
Mr. and Mrs. Oscar McCall at'd
son, O. T., jr., accompanied by
Mr. and Mrs. Hare and Mr. and
Mrs. R. C. Parker of Oklahoma
City, left on Sunday for Arbucklt
mountain to have a week's outing.
stock. As one man. they are not in favor of abandoning
the project at this time, when everything look, so favorable,
and where a few more feet may bring results that would give
every stockholder a tremendous benefit. But they cannot
bear all the burden. They are more than willing !aml
anxious to bear more than their share, but cannot bear it all.
So it is up to the 700 stockholders to say what shall be done.
Be at the meeting of the stockholders at the court house
on Monday, August 18th. and give the officer- and directors
the benefit of your best judgment. Not only the stockholders
are invited, but all who take an interest in the project; a
project that means so much to every citizen in Norman and
surrounding country if it can he brought to fruition and
means immeasurably more to every stockholder.
Unless a majority of the issued stock is present either
in person or by proxy, the meeting caimet be held and the
well will have to be abandoned.
We ask you to be there and give us the benefit of your
counsel in this crisis in the history of this meritorious enter-
prise.
Respectfully,
S. K. McCALL, President.

(Editorial)
In connection with the statement of the officers and
directors of the Clvland County Dvelopment company
above given, the Transcript, as one of the owners of a block of
stock, cannot refrain from expressing its opinion that the
stockholders of the company cannot afford to allow the pi
ject to die at.this time or at any other time while there is
a ghost of a chance of getting the results we all desire.
• it believes thoroughly, too, that the stockholders almost
unanimously, will be of this opinion. It has been to some
))ai„s to ascertain conditions on its own hook, wh.cl. leads
to the candid assertion that the project never had brighter
prospects of reaching beneficial results. / s sit or i >y
the officers, the well is now down 700 feet deeper than any
other in the county, and to abandon it now would be the
poorest judgment possible.
From the drillers and others who have kept tab on the
work the Transcript learns that the formations the drill is
now going through arc the best that have been struck 1 he
drill is getting down to sea level, bringing up fossils of fish,
which is said to be a most excellent indication, and the Penn-
sylvania clav it is striking is also another good one. Over
and above all upon which it bases its optimism, however, is
the fact that it has supreme confidence in the officers and
directors, feeling sure they will act fairly and squarely with
the stockholders and do everything possible to get results.
By no means do we wish to abandon the project at this
time What we should do is to get back of the officers and
directors squarely and subscribe with them the necessary
funds to continue the work. It will not take very much from
any of us, and the benefits that would accrue can hardly
be estimated.
The stockholders should be out at the meeting on Mon-
day August 18th, and give every assurance possible to the
officers and directors that they are back of them with their
money and influence to push the work to its fullest extent.
It is also well to remember that a majority of the stoCK-
subscribed must be represented or no action can be taken and
the work will have to be abandoned.
Be ther, Mr. and Mrs. Stockholder.
Mrs. W. J. Busbee and two chil-
dren, Lura and Frank, of Oklaho-
ma City, came down Saturday
night for a few day's visit with
Mr . R. II. Parham and*children.
