Court Proceedings Okla.-Kansas Game
Numerous Divorces Granted—Three
Criminals Sentenced—Many
Cases Go Over Until
Next Term of
Court.
No important criminal nor civil
cases that required a jury have been
tried at this term of the district court
which convened on Monday last,
Judge Swank deciding that farm
work and other activities were more
necessary than a jury at this time,
and therefore dispensing with it.
Numerous divorce cases and many
other matters that did not require a
jury have been disposed of; sales con-
firme, demurrers argued, and persons
sentenced who pleded guilty. Among
other proceedings was the following:
Grand jury to report for duty on
Nov. 19th. Twenty-four freeholders
drawn from whom twelve will be* se-
lected to compose the jury.
Mrs. Maggie M. Priest vs. Jos.
Priest, divorce, dismissed by plain-
tiff.

son, divorce granted and plaintiff
given custoy of children.

of two children.
Mrs. Bersheba Racker vs. G. W.
Racker, case dismissed by plaintiff.
Mrs. Cora Dodd vs. Walter Dodd,

tit larceny and was given a $100 fine.

ment of $10.00 against Ina Harvey.

I The season's biggest football game
! within the state is scheduled for Sat-
urday, November 10, at Norman, when
I the University alumni of the Univer-
sity will celebrate their annual fall
"home-coming'' and gather by hun-
dreds on the campus to renew old ac-
quaintances and memories of college
days.
j The Sooners twisted the tail of the
Missouri Tigers last Saturday at Col-
umbia, but whether they can make
the Jayhawk squawk is a problem.
Ames defeated Missouri 15 to 0 and
Kansas defeated Ames 7 to 0, giving
Kansas on comparative scores a mar-
gin of 22 points over Missouri. Okla-
homa won from Missouri 14 to 7, giv-
ing the Sooners a margin of seven
points over Missouri'. Kansas on "dope
therefore has a margin of 15 points
over Oklahoma.
The fact that Oklahoma will play
the game on Boyd field with the back-
ing of thousands of cheering enthus-
iasts, however, should materially re-
duce that margin and it is believed
the two elevens will enter the game
almost evenly matched. The team that
gets the jump and is favored by the
breaks of the game probably will win.
Oklahoma and Kansas arft old time
rivals. Kansas won every game from
1903 to 1910 a total of eight. In 1911
the all-victorious Sooner eleven nosed
out the Jayhawkers 3 to 0, Oklahoma
won the game in 1912, 6 to 5 and the
1913 game 21 to 7. The 1914 game was
a tie, Oklahoma won in 1915 and Kan-
sas last year 21 to 13.
The Oklahoma lineup probably will
be little changed from that which
strated the Missouri game and will in-
clude Johnson and Durant ends; Light
and Deacon, tackles; Brown and Mc-
Glothlin, guards; Douglas, center;
Wilmoth, quarter; Boyle and Graham,
halfbacks; and Davis, fullback. Betch-
told, fullback; Liustor, quarter and
end; and Haskell, end, may be used
later in the game.
AN INVITATION
Those who heard Rev. Wickizer
last Sunday night at the Christian
church on the subject: "Steps into
the Kingdom," will be interested in
hearing his discourse next Sunday
night on the subject, "Conversions of
the New Testament." Bring your
Bibles and note books. Read the fol-
lowing chapters in the book of Acts:
2, 8, 10, 16, 18, and 22. Read the en-
tire chapters and pick out the con-
versions and study them.
BEAUTIFUL CLOCK
The First National Bank received
a fine street clock this morning
which it will erect on the Main street
front of its building. An expert is
expected today or tomorrow to erect
and install it. It is a chime clock
(striking every quarter and half and
hour), is some seven feet in length,
with a 24-inch dial, and costs in the
neighborhood of $600. It will be a
real town clock, only not quite high
enough so the whole town can see
and hear it.
$500 Overland
Earl Minteer attended the Wliiys
Overland dealers convention in Okla
homa City yesterday and reports i
■ery enjoyable and interesting meet
ing! He came home enthused over a
new automobile that company is to
put out and says:
"At the convention the Willys-
Overland Co. announced the comple
tion of their new light model car
which will sell for less than $500.00
fully equipped, with electric lights
and starter. The appearance of this
car will prove a startler, for nothing
like it has ever been built. It has
good body lines, good top, is made sub-
stantial, has fewer parts than any
car on the market and will be manu-
factured in quantities so that you
can get one when you want it. The
Willys-Overland is one of the larg-
est automobile maunfacturers in the
world and have just recently pur-
chased the Curtiss Airplane Factory,
making it in reality the largest manu-
facturer of motor machines in the
world. They have looked ahead and
bought up enough raw material to
last them for the year 1918 even with
their added output caused by this new
wonder car which will sell for less
than $500.00."
