Where Is Mrs. Carmen?
Fears Entertained for the Safety of
Mrs. Fannie Carmen, Prosecut-
ing Witness in the Hen-
drix Case.
Where is Mrs. Fannie Carmen,
prosecuting witness in the case
against Jim and Emmet Hendrix,
charged with conspiracy to defraud
Mrs. Carmen out of $2,GOO? No trace
of her has been found since she was
spirited away on Sunday by persons
said to be friends of the Hendrix
men, and fears for her safety are en-
tertained. She left in an automobile
driven by Roy Elkins of Purcell and
accompanied by Marie White, both of
whom are known to be friends of the
Hendrix boys. The last seen of the
three was 'hitting the high places"
between here and Oklahoma City.
Officers are after them.
Mrs. Carmen is a daughter of Jas.
Lappin (dee'd) and owned a 40-acre
tract of fine alfalfa land two miles
north of Lexington. The Hendrix
boys, it is claimed, inveigled her into
deeding it to them, and afterwards
sold it for $4,000 or $4,500, pocket-
ing the proceeds, according to Mrs.
Carmen, giving her only $30. Failing
to get a settlement out of them, Mrs.
Carmen came to Norman Sunday
and made complaint against the
Hendrix men. Afterwards, Marie
White, a woman of Purcell came with
Roy Elkins in an automobile, and
phoned Mrs. Carmen that one of her
| children was sick at the home of Mrs.
j Watson, in the east part of Norman.
Mrs. Carmen has five children, who
were at Mrs. Watson's. Mrs. Carmen
left the Grand Central hotel to go to
theWatson home, and was intercepted
on the way by Elkins and the White
woman, put into the automobile and
spirited away. What they've done
with her is what is puzzling the of-
ficers, and what they'll do to White
and Elkins when they catch them will
probably be a plenty.
The Hendrixes have been
out counting the University's sub-
scriptions.
The program was as follows:
Song—"America."
Invocation—Rev. E. R. Welch.
Quartette—"God Bless Our Boy—
Messrs. Hardie, Hinshaw, Thomas
and Keeble.
Short Talks—Prof. J. S. Buchanan,
Dr. W. W. Phelan and Judge R.
Brett.
Song—"Starspangled Banner."
Benediction—Rev. W. D. Pool.
The talks by Messrs Buchanan,
Phelan and Brett were truly inspir-1 ested in these branches of the service,
ing, bringing forth hearty applause
vantage of this opportunity and are
now in service. It is generally possible
to obtain a higher rank if attention
can be called to the army officers con-
cerning previous experience and
training and by enlisting in the En-
listed Reserve Corps on the official
enlistment blanks it is possible to do
this.
Lieutenant Campbell also has en-
listment blanks for the Quarter-
master, Ordnance, Engineer, or Medi-
cal Enlisted Reserve Corps which he
can furnish to those who are inter-
and much favorable comment. Each
of them was imbued heart and soul
with the importance of their sub-
ject, and told about it in flaming
words of vigor and earnestness.

The above is a portrait of the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs.
R. C. Stephens on Lahoma avenue. Mr. Hayden, the contractor, says
he can duplicate this home now for $4,500, as he contracted for a
large amount of building material before the advance in prices. This
residence is nine-room home, modern in every respect, with Moore
heating plant installed.
Mr. Ilayden says that if anyone desires to build within the next
ten years NOW is the time—for material is cheaper now than it
will be later.
