WORST COIjD gPKMi FOIl YKAltS
This section along with all the
rest of the southwest was visited tho
past week with one of the coldest
spells Tor years. v The storm set In
Wednesday "night January 9 and has
been going all week. Snow fell
Wednesday night and all day Thurs-
day 'accompanied by a high wind
whlcTi drifted it badly. For tho most
part the wheat fields were swept!
clem and the snow piled up along
the fences and in tho toads. A
slight skirt fell Sunday night. This
came down gently but was too light
for much benefit to the ground. Mqn-
day night and Tuesday morning more
snow fell. This also came gently
and covered the ground well. While
not heavy there was enough to do
some good to the wheat Indica
tions nt this time (Tuesday noon)
are that we will have more snow.
The drop in the temperature ac-
companying the storm was sudden
and extreme. Thursday night the
government thermometer reglstercr
15 degrees below zero. Friday night
It was one degree colder and for sev-
eral days tho mercury hovered
around the zero mark late Into the
day. Tho past few days 'have been
decidedly warmer.
Ho far as we have "been able to
learn thero has been very little suf-
fering In this county on account of
the storm. Most of our people were
supplied with enough coal to let
them through and except for one day
tho roads to town were passible.
Mall service has been Interrupted to
some extent. There was no mall able
to get through Thursday and not till
after noon Friday. Since that time
wo have had mall each day but it
has been delayed. The W. F. & N.
W. train stuck in the snow drift near
Gate Thursday night and did not get
through to Forgan till late next day.
It has been running way behind
schedule since but managing to get
through each twenty-four hours.
Train service everywhere has been
tied up. Wo may count ourself lucky
that wo have had any service at all.
M"any places farther cast trains have
been annulled altogether. The B. M.
& E. mode a trip each day you can't
stop tho Beaver Stub.

Camp Bowie Jan. 1 1918.
After a ten days liollday I nrrlved
In camp at flvo a. m. Monday. I think
I can say most every soldier boy who
spent Christmas at homo had a glori
ous tlmo and wo suro appreciated tho
way everybody treated us but wo
were all glad to get back to camp
with tho boys for we aro all Just like
brothers and proud wo nro In tho
service for our country. This suro is
the only life for a young man. They
useu 10 ten you tne Boldlors weren't
very well taken care of or treated
very well but from my experience In
nrmy life I bellevo that a mistake
I think I can honestly say the soldiers
aro better fed and clothed than 30
per cont of the pcoplo In tho United
States.
Most of tho boys have returned In
tho best of spirits and have turned
over a New Year leaf. This morning
going to mako bettor soldiers In
1918 than they did in 1917 for wo
suro nre all going to putjnur shoulder
to tho wheol and push nnd get ready
as soon as posslblo to go after old
Kaiser Bill.
Very llttlo sickness In camp at this
dato. Tho hoys who spent their
Christmas in camp said they had a
glorious tlmo. Tho Red CroBs furn-
ished the Christmas treo hero at the
Y. M. C. A. building and tho treo was
decorated and every soldier boy got
something. Tho main present for tho
boys from one another woro jumping
jacks and small bags of beans.
Hoping this finds you all well a'uu

HI8 "STATUS" IN TUB CASE
Tho caso of the Stato vs. Toplnka
charged with a statutory offense
came up for preliminary hearing be-
fore Judge Mecse on tho Gth. The
state was represented by County At-
torney Twyford and Loofbourrow ft
Rlzloy nnd the defense by J. W. Cul-
well and Dickson & Dickson. The
case was called and both sides an-
nounced that thoy were ready for
trial and things were grinding along
in the ordinary way when R. "W.
Griggs an attorney of Meado Kan
sas appeared and announced to the
Court that he (Griggs) was a duly
licensed and practicing attorney ot
the State of Kansas and also duly au
thorizod to do business in the Stato
of Oklahoma; that he represented the
prosecuting witness and that he de-
sired tho Court to define and fix his
status in the proceedings then in
progress to the end that all and sin-
gular the matter and things pertain-
ing to the case might be presented to
the Court in an orderly manner. The
Court thereupon announced that if
the county nttorney wanted the as-
sistance ot Mr. Griggs he could as
sign his "status." The county attor
ney announced that ho did not desire
the assistance of Mr. Griggs and tho
only "status" ho could occupy in tho
case would be that of a spectator.
This disposition ot the matter seemed
to be entirely unsatisfactory to the
aforesaid Griggs and ho manifested
his displeasure by interruptions and
various remarks of which he freely
delivered himself with much freedom
nud action Tho hearing was then
continued until the 8th Inst. and up-
on renewal of the hearing Mr. Griggs
again appeared and renewed tho an
nouncement theretofore made and
was again Informed by tho Court that
he could take no part in tho proceed-
ings unless directed by the county
attorney to do so and tho county at-
torney again nnnounccd that he did
not desire the 'Services of Mr. Griggs
and before tho Court had time to rulo
or Indicate tho aforesaid Griggs took

Jupcturo tho Court of Its own mo-
tion asked tho prosecuting witness
(a girl ot 14 years) if she wanted to
employ Griggs to represent her and
upon being answered In tho negative
without further coromony directed
Mr. GrlggB to tako his seat. This

AGAIN
Tho sap-headed would-be ' editor
of tho Democrat devoted almost an
entire column on tho front page last
week lambasting Tho Herald editor
bocauso we had tho audacity the
weok previous to call attention to tho
action of C. H. Raymond a printer
whom wo left in chargo ot tho Herald
and who agreed to .stay until our re-
turn from a holiday visit but who.
locked up our print shop and left
town in our absence. We aro not
surprised at Tookor's article. No-
body evor thought ot accusing him
ot having any business senso or re-
spect for business ethics. When wo
said that prlntors who were guilty
ot doing such unjustified tricks
should bo boycotted by tho nowspa-
ner profession wo never once had the
Democrat or its editor (?) In mind.
Wo woro referring to Newspapers
and Nowspapor. Editors not little

Poor old disgruntled Tooker didn't;
get all the grouch out ot his system
last week In his tirade against tho.
editor ot the Herald so ho had to fin
ish up on thu faculty and Board ot
Education ot our schools devoting:
considerable space In the Democrat
to them because they had .not ap-
pointed themselves special reporters
for that paper. He seemed to be real;
peeved becauso thoy had not handed
him In each week a nlco bunch ot
copy. He seemed to think it was
their business to look after the news
columns of' tho Democrat while the
editor (?) sat In his office too trifling
to write up a pieco ot news It it were-
given him. No indeed he will take
It rcadjt writton if you please and it
must be in good form. Such gall!
Tho Herald has managed to publish
considerable school news the past
term nnd we can say that not a single
Item has been handed us. Wo haven't
reached tho point yet where we feel
it is the duty of other peoplo to serve
gratis ns reporters for tills paper.
Wo went out after tho news because
getting the nows Is our business and
wo got It.
We npprcclato news items when
they are handed us but wo aro cer-
tainly not going to fall out with peo-
plo when they don't do it. In tho
snmo article poor old Took takes n
slam nt tho high school papor "The

grouch "Tho Beaver" is not printed
at tho Democrat office. Last year It
was printed ot that shop nnd Tooker
