SCARBROUGH REFUSES
TO ACCEPT ROOSTERS
Files Complaint With Postofi'ice
Inspector to Get Money Back;,
Cockerells To Be Sold.
Roosters and postal laws would not
have any connection in the minds of
most people but Sidney Scarbrough's
refusal to accept a shipment of eight
White Leghorn cockerels on the
grounds of alleged misrepresented
quality, may convince a certain ship-
per in Utah that the connection is
there. Scarbrough's story follows:
These roosters from Utah were to
be used by Scarbrough to produce
quality setting eggs from his picked
flock of "heavy laying strain single
comb" White Leghorns. He wrote
for prices on them following an ad in
the Sunday Oklahoman printed in
May, and closed the deal for them
sometime the following month.
Cancelled the Order
One cockerel was listed at $550 and
the others were priced at $75 for the
seven. Scarbrough made a deal to get
the lot for $100 and remitted by
check. On delay of the shipment,
Scarbrough wrote cancelling the order
and requested return of money sent
if the coop were not started by July
15.
The pen arrived here August 1, and
were refused by the consignee on the
grounds that they were not as good
chickens as represented. He declar-
ed that he would not have them in his
pen under ony circumstances, giving
as his reasons the fact that several
of the birds were squirrel-tailed and
had other faults in plumage.
Makes a Complaint
These cocks will be sold to the high-
est bidder by the express company
who are receiving them at the station
now in order to pay express charges,
it is understood.
On complaint of Scarbrough and
signed statements from Ben Bartholo-
mew, \V. M. Langford, leading
chicken fanciers of this city, and P. K.
Norris, county agent, that the cocker-
els are not of good quality, the post-
office inspector is undertaking to re-
cover money remitted for the chickens,
is the understanding. Scarbrough
stopped to put the telegrams and let-
ters of communication between him
and the shipper before the postoffice
inspector yesterday on his return
from Tecumseh, and it is thought
that action may be brought for mis-
representation through the mails.
PUTTING ON A SALE.
The United Sales company is ad-
vriising a sale to begin tomorrow in
which all present stock will be sold
in order to complete a re -organization
deal. After September 1, the store
w'll be known as Hinshaw's.

department store said this morning.
He returned this we< . from a month's
buying trip to New York City.
The markets in some things were
slightly lower while ill others there is
no indication of lower prices, he said.
The con ensus of opinion in the east is
that tiuies as a whole are better than
they ever were and that lower wages,
which would be bound to come in case
of lower living cost, are not desired,
is his opinion.
Following his semi investigation in
the east, the Met all --tore goes on a
