THE NORMAN
TRAOE EXCURSION
About twenty-three automobiles
loaded with the leading business men
of Norman visited Blanchard, New-
castle, Washington, Cole, Purcell and
il was in Atlanta when the ho-se and other points in McClain county last
Thursday.
Their stay in Rlanchard was short,
but very pleasant for our citizens as
they entertained us with both vocal
and band music. Several nice talks
were made by members of the excur-
sion and they visited with our mer-
chants and business men for a short
time after which they went to New-
castle.
These excursions are one of Nor-
man's annual features and have prov-
ed very beneficial to Norman's busi-
ness men.
Blanchard appreciates their call
very much and hopes to be on their
route next year as well as every
other year.—Blanchard News.

As was noted in Sunday's Trans-
cript that Night Watch Ben Clay
would probably be arrested Monday
in connection with the shooting of
Miss Mary Baker and Miss Joy
Shinn on the University oval, Satur-
day night, Sept. 6th, so lias it de-
veloped. On complaint of J. J. Bak-
er and Ed F. Shinn, fathers of the
young ladies, Mr. Clay was arrested
by Sheriff Newblock Monday morn-
ing and appeared before County
Judge Allen, who held him in $1000
bond to appear for trial on Tuesday.
Clay gave the bond with Robt. C.
Berry as surety.
It is probable the preliminary will
not be held on Tuesday, but will be
continued to some future early date,
when the young ladies can be pres-
ent.It is reported they are donig
nicely, but not yet able to be out.
The charge against Clay is "as-
sault with a deadly weapon." Dudley

Cheatwood in the prosecution, with
Williams & Luttrell defending.
ANN SELINA BURKE
Mrs. Ann Seliua Burke, wife of D.
W. Burke, died in this city on Satur-
day, September 13, 1919, at 7:30 a m„
aged 67 years, 1 month and 7 days.
She had been in delicate health for
'some years with cancer, with com-
j plications of kidney trouble, and an
| operation was performed a week ago,
Ibut it did not avail to relieve her.
I Mrs. Burke was a lady who endear-
ed herself to all with whom she came
contact; was a womanly woman,
devoted wife and affectionate
mother. She removed to Oklahoma
from Ohio, with her husband, ome
sixteen years ago to a farm four miles
northeast of Norman, where they liv-
ed until two years ago when they
moved to Oklahoma City. She was
a member of the Methodist church
taking a leading part in all church ac-
tivities, and in every walk of life an
earnest christian woman. She is sur-
vived by her husband and one daugh-
ter, Mrs. J. W. Albert of 3ZS East
10th street, Oklahoma City, to whom
go out the earnest sympathies of the
community.
The body was in state at the
undertaking parlors of Meyer & Mey-
er from 2 o'clock until 6, Sunday,
Sept. 14, 1919, and was taken to
her old home at St. Thomas, N. D.,
for burial on the 6:30 Santa Fe train
that evening, accompanied by Mr.
Burke and his daughter.

LEAVES SOONERLAND
Goes to Daugherty With Continental
Asphalt Company; On Leave
One Year.
Prof. James I Tucker, director of
the school of civil engineering, Uni-
versity of Oklahoma has obtained one
year's leave of absence and associat-
ed himself with the Continental As-
phalt company with headquarters at
Daugherty, in the heart of the \r
buckle mountains. Prof. Tucker will
be chief engineer. The company is
managed by Paul Nesbit, formerly a
member of the Oklahoma state legis-
lature and Mr. Dick, formerly war-
den of the state penitentiary at Mc-
Alester, is president.
Professor Tucker has been a mem-
ber of the faculty since 1911, as di-
rector of the school of civil engineer-
in and professor of civil engineering.
He has also been interested in the
county engineering work for Cleve-
land county. This work will be done
in the future by N. E. Wolfard.
Prof. R. C. Terrill will fill Prof.
Tucker's place as director of the
school of civil engineering during the
coming year.
CIEAN UP DAY
Preparations are going on in a sat-
isfactory manner for Clean-Up-Day
and judging by the interest shown
this event will be as much of a suc-
cess as the campaign of last spring.

I in the hands of each member of the
Clean Up committee to be placed
in every home in the city. With this
folder goes a printed notice to have
'all material ready for the trucks by
j Thursday, Sept. 18th. The attention
of the householder may be called to
some things which should be correct-
ed about the premises. Every place
will be inspected and reported on and
if something has escaped the notice
of the occupants of the premises it
must be attended to and corrected.
In all parts of the city the people
are cleaning up and cleaning out
However, there is one place which
may need especial work at this time
of year. That is the cellar or base
ment. Especially is this true in
those homes which are rented. Ii
you have recently moved into a house
look into your cellar and you art
likely to find piles of ashes, old damp
decaying paper and other trash,
which is a real menace to the health
of the ones in the house and therebj
to that community.
Care must be taken about the burn-
ing of grass and paper and the or-
dinance pertaining to this matter
strictly complied with. As it is tin
derstood no permit is necessary to
burn the trash if placed in piles and
watched while burning. The per-
mits are necessary for burning off
lawns and lots.
students after
Saturdays arc
becoming very scarce according to
Claude Monnet, chairman of the Y
employment bureau. Many students
have secured positions through
the Y bureau during the past week,
but there are still many men who
are anxious to secure employment.
Monnet said Saturday afternoon
that he was going to appeal" to the
farmers of Cleveland county living I
near Norman for work on Saturdays
for University students. It seems,1
according to Chairman Monnet, that |
there are an unusually large number
of students enrolling this year who
need employment to aid them
through school.
Chas. DeWoody, arrested Friday
on the charge of stealing $175 from
Mrs. Blue, was released on Saturday
night, Mrs. Blue declininig to appear
against him.
It is understood the money has
been returned to Mrs. Blue, the De-
Woodeys paying her $125 in cash
and giving a good note for $50.
It is, however, establishing a had
precedent to make the sheriff's office
a collection agency. Men or women
who commit thefts should be prose-
cuted to deter others from doing the
same thing. On the other hand, it
would perhaps be impossible to con-
vict such parties if their victims are
unwilling witnesses and refuse to
prosecute. That is the view taken by
County Attorney Cheatwood in dis
missing the case against DeWoodey.
Anyone needing help of any kind
is requested to call Claude Monnet,
telephons 202 and leave their ad-
dress and the kind of work they
offer.
