Dearest father we shall miss thee.
Now, no more thy voice we hear.

Where we laid thee down to rest,
Thou wilt be among the number,
When we meet with all the blest.

west from town on July 4th and
later advertised in the Clipper has
been claimed. It was the property
of Scott Rather, who resides about
65 miles northeast of Hennessey,
near Perry, Okla. Mr. Rather was
a guest of W. M. Gresham on the
fourth and Mr. Gresham called for
the coat and sent it to him.

Thousands of patents to Okla
hoina homesteaded farms, some of
them being in the state's most pro-
duct ive districts, are lying in the
United States land office uncalled
for by their owners, notwithsta id-
ing the fact that each uncalled-for
patent constitutes a cloud on the
title. Major Hugh Scott, receiver,
estimates the total lands thus in-
volved and clouded amount to
something like G 10,000 acres, valued
at least at $5,000,000, These facts
became known when Major Scott
called the attention to them ot the
Oklahoma title men, while in state
convention at Guthrie a few days
since
The title men after viewing he
mass of patents declared they
should be filed immediately with
the various county registers of
deeds, thus clearing up thousands
of titles. The owners can secure
the patents by presenting to the
land office officials their final proofs
obtained from the government.
Some of these patents are more
than twenty years old, bearing the
signature of President Cleveland and
a few that of Benjamin Harrison
In the Guthrie land district, now
comprising practically all of Old
Oklahoma Territory, there are at
least 1,000 farm patents uncalled
for; 200 in the former Oklahoma
City district, 200 in the old El Rem
district, 200 in the Mangum district.
400 in the Lawton, and 100 each in
the Perry, Kingfisher and Enid dis
tricts.

Citizen Asks Noise Abatement
Youth is young and must have
amusement, but must that amuse-
ment he as noisy as the trundling
of noisy play wagons on the con-
crete and brick sidewalks of the
town, going past your door with a
roar that renders ordinary conver-
sation inaudible. We are not in1
favor of abolishing childish sports. |
Far from if We only ask that
they be kept within reasonable!
I bounds. We believe that the child-
ren could have just as good a time
with their wagons in the road or
on the wooden sidewalks. The
noise created when they are run on
the cement sidewalk is irritating
and at times, almost maddening to |
one of nervous temperament. The
noise nuisance is being legislated I
against in the cities. Why not try j
and save the nerves of the residents
of the small town as well.
A Citizen.
Entertained at Kingfisher
A delightful day was spent by a
number of the members of the
Domestic Science Club of this place
at the annual picnic of the Woman's
Auxiliary at Kingfisher Tuesday.
The ladies were met at the de
pot by Mesdames Speiee, Share and
Boynton and escorted by auto to
the picnic grounds at the home of
the Kingfisher president Mrs. O. W.
Lowry, north of town. A good pro
gram, musical and literary was ren-
dered and a delicious picnic dinner
served. The genial hostitality of
the Kingfisher ladies was thorough-
ly enjoyed. Those going down
were: Mesdames J. M. Horn, Jesse
Burke, A. J Caulk, H. G Barker, J.
L, Hines, Emma Hanna, Amos
Jones, Guy Collins, Zada Hastie,
Chas. Love, B. F. Stimmel.
Hennessey Wins Good Game
Hennessey won by a score of 4 to
3 from a picked team from Enid
and Waukomis Sunday by bunch-'
ing hits on Young in the first inning
Young had apparently left his rab-
bits foot behind and things began to
happen as soon as the first round
opened. Cashion, who led the bat-
ting list for Hennessey celebrated
his first appearance in the game
this season by stopping a fast one
with his right leg. It was as good
as a hit and Art ambled to first.
Leddy, next up, sacrificed him to
second. Sweeney pushed him to the
next sack with a sacrifice and Allen
brought him in with a safety,
Vaughn followed with another safe
one that landed him on second and
Allen on third, where ail error
allowed liim to score. Shepherd
added another hit and scored on
errors. Neal went out at first
This ended the scoring for llennes
sey. but four tallies proved sufii-
cient.
The visitors were unable to hit
chief Jacobs effectively, but man-
aged to score once in the second
and twice in the sixth In the
.-eventh they got a man as far as
third and for a minute it looked
threatening, but Josephs ended the
suspense with a lly to right.
Allen who replaced Sis Liston
behind the bat caught a good game,
despite a split thumb received in
practice.
