WILL ERECT PENITENTIARY
\
• ►>
Kansas Cltyian Will Erect Prison In
Oklahoma and Care for Convicts
GUTHRIE: George Ford, until re-
cently a Kansas City hotolkeeper. has
made a proposition to Governor T. B.
Ferguson to put up a prison in which
Oklahoma's convicts may be detailed
during the remainder of her territorial
days. The renewal of the contract for
the keeping of Oklahoma prisoners be-
tween tho authorities of this territory
and the stato to the north has caused
Ford to think hotter of his project
than before, and Anally to visit the
governor of Oklahoma and open up
Ills proposition. Ford says he has $65,-
000 to Btart the enterprise, and is anx-
ious to get a contract. He assures tho
authorities that if given the job he will
bo ploasod to buy a section of land
near Guthrie, erect a strong, criminal
proof prison out of native material
and then trausport the convicts from
Lauslng, Kas., to the Institution.
ONE PROPOSITION ENOUGH
Governor Thinks One Institution
. Plenty for One Man to Handle
GUTHRIE: Although he will consid
or the proposition to be presented by
George Ford of Kansas City, Mo., to
construct a penitentiary . in Guthrie
for the maintenance of Oklahoma con-
victs, yet Governor Ferguson declares
himself to be averse to making any
more such contracts while he Is gov-
ernor. He considers the Insane con-
tract to be sufficient for one man as
governor to manage. Ford has not
yet presented his proposition, but has
it ready.
Ford is the father-in-law of State
Auditor L. W. Baxter, who will likely
be a stockholder in the proposed com-
pany.
PETITION FOR PARDON
Release Is Sought for a Boy Under
Sentence
GUTHRIE: There has been an ap-
plication filed with Gov. Ferguson,
asking that George Coakley, under 1C
years of age, be pardoned from the Ok-
lahoma county jail at Oklahoma City,
where he is serving a sentence for the
theft of a set of harness, valued at
$10. It Is held that the boy was
bought to steal the harness, a stranger
offering him $10 for the set, if stolen.
After the theft was committed the
boy was rewarded with 40 cents and
the stranger skipped out with the har-
ness, having not been apprehended.
The petition for a pardon is signed
by Representative John Threadgill
and other prominent citiens of Okla-
homa City. .
Turns Twenty-five Acres a Day
MEDFORD: With a threshing ma
chine engine and two disc plows, Allen
Huff, living two miles southwest oi
this place, is turning under twenty-
five acres of wheat stubble each day
at "h cost of about 50 cents an acre.
The scheme, which was an experiment
when he began it, has proven a suc-
cess. He has 500 acres to plow and
will continue with his steam plow
until all is completed, when he will
probably do work for some of his
neighbors. At each round of the field
the machine plows eight furrows, do-
ing the work of four men and sixteen
horses. This appears to be the com-
ing plow for the West, as it puts the
ground in fine shape, and does it rap-
idly.
I. M. Renfro of Burneyville brought
in the first bale of cotton to Marietta,
which he sold for lGc a pound and re-
ceived $50 as a premium. The bale
netted $1105. Marietta offers $35 for
the first bale from Texas and $25 for
second from the Territory.
Duncan is making arrangements tc
have a street fair and cotton carnival
the latter part of October.
Cleo will hold a celebration of the

are forgetting the tenth anniversary
of its opening to tht- whites.

pecting this information. The postof-
fice in this city has been designated
as the pay office for all rural letter
