PAULS VALLEY, GARVIN COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1915.
NO. 49
IN THE COUNTY
COURT THIS WEEK
The County Court started off
Monday on the criminal docket
and has been jr&ing along in fine
shape. Up to Wednesday even-
ing there had been six jury trials,
four convictions, one acquittal
and one confession.
Will Garland confessed to a
whiskey case and was given $50
and 30 days. Joe Jackson was
acquitted on a charge of disturb-
ing public worship. Roy and E
R. Upman were both given $50
and 30 each on a whiskey charge.
Harry Choate was fined #25 for
an assault. Chub Mackey was
fined $5 for an assault and Sam
Winningham was fined $50 and
30 on a whiskey case with three
other cases pending.
Two old cases, upon investiga-
tion, wese dismissed by County
Attorney R E. Bowling, because
the charges could not be sus-
tained. They were, Pete Bishop
for disturbing religious worship,
and Lee Minir for a whiskey
charge.

BECOMING COMPLICATED
SUtl SPLINTERS III EIE
While in Oklahoma City some-
The foreign wars have become
greatly complicated and their re-
cent plans threaten to involve
neutral nations, especially the
United States^ The diplomatic
cuntroversary now jroing on be
tween England,' Germany and
the United States involves many
delicate questions of internation-
al law. The trouble, however,
time ago I saw the doctors using H , • . .,. „ ,

lives el passengers and crews on such
vessels before destroying them.
But it is only by the use of subma-
rines that Germany can hope to make
effective warfare on the merchant ships
of England in the waters it has declar
ed to be a war zone. Its cruisers and
battle ships it can not use for the pur-
pose of keeping merchant vessels away
from English ports, for they would en
counter overwhelming numbers and
bg exposed to almost certain destruc-
tion. Hence Germany is put to the
necessity of using ("raft which are in-

been sent to the school a total of
580 boys and there are now 130
boys in the school, making 450
boys who have been discharged.
Mr. Nelson also stated that he
has kept up with the boys, and
that out of the 450 who had been
discharged some 15 of them had
gone to the bad, but nearly all
the other 430 were making reas-
onably good citizens, and many
of them doing extra well When
one takes into consideration the
fact that these boys were ad-
judged by competent courts and
sent to the school as incorrigi-
bles, criminally hardened be-
yond the control of the persons
having charge of them, you be-
gin to wonder what it was in the
life, influence and surroundings
of the boys that made them such
criminals, and what it is in the
school that has made such a suc-
cess of reforming so great a per
centage of this character of boys.
The question may not be easy.
The school, however, in short,
is an institution of instruction,
