PAULS VALLEY, GARVIN COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, MAY 4, 1911.
NO. 7
For Vigor. Vim and Good Health. Don't Worry. Take a Robinson s High Ball. All Drugo
In District Court
The District Court of Garvin
County began its regular May
Term f>r Criminal business here
last Monday with Judge R.
McMillian on the bench con
fronted by a large docket and
assisted by ail the County OHi
cers at their respective posts of
duty and the County Attorney
clamorous for trials in all cases.
On Monday morning, Dave
Johnson plead guilt to aiding
a prisoner, George Davis, in
attempting to break jail ( in
which effort he was frustrated
by the vigilance of Jailer Dave
Lobaugh ) and was given two
years in the penitentiary. He
also plead guilty to robbery in
the second degree and was given
three years running concurrent
with his other sentence making
his full time in the penitentiary j
a term of three years.
The case against Friday j
Williams, a negro, for robbery;
was dismissed on account of
the flight of the State's witnetss-
es who cannot be found in this
State.
L. C. Andrews was chosen as
a special judge to try the case
against Byron Hawkins for
embezzlement, and sustained
the Defendant's demurrer to the
indictment returned against
him last yeai by a grand jury,
and the case was rereferred to
the next grand jury for the in-
dictment to be rewritten.
In the case against C. F.
Ed wards, charged with the
murder of Ed Swan, the Defend-
ant, through his attorneys Carr
4 Fields, Blanton & Andrews,
and Thompson&Patterson, filed
a long typewritten motion for a
continuance on the ground that
the defendant had uot had time
enough to secure attorneys and
properly prepare for trial on the
case alleging that the killing
was accidental. County Attor-
ney Stanley and his Assistant
prepared ana filed a replication
alleging that the application
was made for delay only and
that the defendant had had
plenty of time and able counsel
to represent him but the Court
in whom authoritv rests in such
matters, set the case forbearing
on May 30th., 1911, till which
time all the witnesses were ex-
cused. Till this date, the de-
fendant has subpoenaed on
witnesses though the State has
subpoenaed all the known eye-
witnesses including the rela
tives of the defendant. The
witness F. L.Strickland made a
bond for $500.00 to appear as a
witness in the case.
The case of Eugene and Chan-
cellor Miller, brothers accused of
burglarizing a tent in Paoli
went to trial before a jury Mon-
day afternoon aud failed to agree
standig on an average of 6 to 6
for and against conviction on
their different ballats.
On Tusday morning a jury
was empannelled in the cases
against Henry Allen and Frank
Jackson, negroes, for burglary
of a car from Wynnewood.
At the end of a heated trial
the State failed to make its case
and the Judge instruced a ver-
dict of not guilty.
Ebb Hare came into court and
after a conference with him the
County Attorney caused the
dismissal of the cases against
Bud Fite and Elenor White vvho
had been confined in jail on a
charge of burglarizing Hare's
house.
Next the trial of George Smith
a negro, for burglary, was taken
up before a jury.
The jury promptly returned a
unanimous verdict of guilty
giving the defendant two years
in the penitentiary.
A jury was then empannelled
in the case against W. P. Rober-
son of Lindsay for selling whis-
key to a minor which is a peni-
tentiary offence.

Resquiescat in Pace
"blessed are the dead which
die in the lord."
Dr.W.C. Wils«n, who passed through
"the valley of the shadow of death"
on April Sth 1911, went as one pre-
pared. Fully realizing his condition,
whils he was yet able to walk in the
streets, he sent word to his children to
come home; that the end was nenr.
To the very last, he had the same
kindly greetings and genial witicisms
for his friends that was characteristic of
him during all his life.
As the shadows grew deeper, and
the kindly hand of death parted the
veil that ecreens this world of trial
from the unseen world of righteousness;
surrounded by all the living members
of his family, Dr. Wilson, like a babe
that rests on its mother's bosom and
falls asleep, passed quietly into eter-
nity- "Like one who wraps the dra-
BALL, BATS, GLOVES, ETC.

and large enough variety to suit the requirements of any ball player.
