THREE BOYS ARRESTED
The officers took in three boys last
night named Stout, Shadrick and
Dugger, living in the Denver neigh-
borhood, on suspicion of knowing
something about bootlegging. It
appears that the officers got onto the
fact that a couple of boys from the
neighborhood of Denver had gone to
Fort Worth, and were to come home
last night with a couple of suit
cases filled with whiskey, and the
three boys were to meet the two at
Purcell and distribute the goods. The
boys from Fort Worth failed to ma-
terialize, but some good information
about bootlegging activities have
been secured by the officers.

high school and more ward schools,
failed to carry, the "yes" vote being
some 850 and the "no" vote 1100. In
one voting precinct the vote was 52

feeling. There was the utmost in-
difference among those favoring the
project, but those opposed were very
active.
The school buildings in Oklahoma
City are very much congested, but the
taxpayers of that town are getting
tired of big bond issues.
