This is as near good sleighing
as Yale has seen in fifteen years.

A good memory is one that al-
lows you to forget some unpleas-
ant things.
Dr. L. A. Stuck is ill and has
been confined to his room for
several days.
Abe Martin says, “You kin
have plenty o’ followers if you’ve
got th’ price ”
It is reported that the Santa
Fe will extend their line south
from Drumright to Depew.
Five degrees below zero last
night is reported here. That’s
winter weather for any country.
Little Wanetta, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. 0. Croy, who
has been very ft, is recovering
nicely.
There seems to be many strange
faces in Yale the past few days.
Can it be that business is picking
up?
Joe Hughes has returned from
Big Heart. They simply can’t
get away from Yale and stay
away.
Don’t kick at the weather.
Remember how much May we
have had during December and
January.

Mr- and Mrs, J. S. Sloan, of
Kahoka, M®., su» » Yale giweto
at the,, home of their brother
A. E. Sloan.
Bob and John Bickell go to
Stroud today, Wednesday, to see
their sister, Mrs. Anna Wycoff,
who i3 very ill.
Abe Garr goes Sunday to Hot
Springs, Ark., where he will re-
main for some time seeking to
benefit his health.
Mrs. D. E. Baker is the new
postmistress at Mehan.
Rev. d’Happart went to Cush-
ing this, Saturday, morning on a
business mission.
Tom Moore of Wellston visited
lere a few days last week with
numerous relatives.
The entirb cotton crop of Payne
county for 1915 was 4,665 bales,
as against 15,010 for the previous
year.
Reasonable prices on Oranges,
Lemons and Apples and Bananas
at Burdick Is. Always a large
supply of fresh fruits there.
The conscience of the editor of
the Cushing Citizen is evidently
bothering him. In a fit of remorse
he exclaims: “Sometimes a
fellow has to lie a little bit from
necessity, but there’s no sense in
one being a liar from choice.’’
Remember the revival meetings
which start at the Yale Presby-
terian church next Sunday, Feb.
6th. Evangelist G. H. Worden,
who is spoken of as a man of un-
usal ability, will conduct the
meetings assisted ably by the local
pastor. Rev. W. E. d’Happart.
E. E. Senft, of the Sanitary
Plumbing company, put some
big gas burners of his own manu-
facture under the boiler at the
school house Saturday. Now,-if
a sufficient flow of gas is obtain-
able, there is little doubt the
children will have warm rooms.
Charley Greene sold three Ford
cars last week. Two to the Car-
ter Oil company, one each for
the superintendent of the new
third car going to the Repabtft
Sufosf*^*H»ny. It seems
the popularity of Ford autemo-jj
biles is ever on the increase.
Jack Hyde’s imagination runs
riot. Here’s his latest respects

Mrs. W. E. d’Happart is re-

In the county court Howard

to petit-larceny at Yale, and was
fined $10 and costs. In default
of payment he was placed in the
county jail.
V. B. Cornett writes us to

5,000,000 Feci of Gaa at 3,030*
At a depth of 3,030 feet early
this, Monday, morning in the
Boggs Drilling Company in the
well a mile north of Yale struck
what is estimated as a 5,000,000
feet flow of gas. It is asserted
that there was 500 feet of water
in the well at the time the gas
was struck and that the force of
the gas cleaned the hole. The
well was shut down, the find
occurring before day, no drilling
hereafter to be done except in
the day time. The proposition
is considered very encouraging
as it stands. The Bartlesvjlle
sand is in prospect here at about
3,100 feet and it is hoped that
this gas flow is but a forerunner
of what may prove to be a good
oil well in the Bartlesville. We
will likely not be held long in
suspense as soon as drilling is
resumed, something mgy develop
at any minute of the procedure.

Deputy Sheriff “Slim” Gil
bert, accompanied by another
officer of Cushing, dropped off
the “Merry-go-round” at 6:30
this, Wednesday, morning and
immediately things began to
pick up around town. The of-
ficers raided the place, where
liquor has been alleged or pur-
ported to have been sold. No
liquors were, however, found by
the officers at the place, but
the room was closed and the
doors securely nailed. The of-
ficers no doubt acted in good
faith and in accordance with or-
ders from some source higher
up* Persons recently making
complaints and wholesale char-
ges of violations of the iquor
laws in Yale, can diseern from
this occurrance that officers are
not slow in the discharge of their
duties when proper representa-
tion is made to them of the in-
fraction of any and all laws.

of the funeral arrangements and
the remains will be shipped to

J. R. Phearsdorf. the well
known Markham rig builder, is
seeking a suitable residence and
expects to locate in Yale. Un-
doubtedly Mr. Phearsdorf knows
where the work in his line is
likely to be and the fact of his
coming to this town indicates
more activity in the oil business
and the construction of many
new rigs.

Simon Miller, geologist for the
Fortuna Oil company came to
Yale yesterday, Tuesday to in-

immediate vicinity of this town.
He was met here by C. M. Pro-

company he made a trip through
the country round about. He
gave it as his unqualifiedopinion
that there is.oil a-plenty in this
locality and said there would un-
doubtly be a great number of

The injunction suits recently
brought against various Cushing
business houses have been dis-
posed of as follows: Against the
Metropolitan hotel and the Band
Box, dissolved; the Pinol drug
store, temporary dissolution, to
be heard in fifteen days; all
other injunctions to go over to
the April term of court. The
case against Thompson and Beilis
for violation of an injunction in
forcing an entrance to the Metro-
politan hotel was dismissed.
It is reported here by telephone
that fire broke out -at an early
hour this morning in the ’‘Lewis
rooms’ ’ at Drumright and spread
until about one half block of iron
and wooden business buildings
were destroyed. The “Lewis
rooms” were located on the south
side of Broadway opposite the
postoffice. The fire took an east-
ern course and destroyed a drug
store, barber shop, restaurant
and other business concerns. An
unconfirmed report says two per-
sons were burned to death in the
fire. The Democrat is not in
possession of particulars as to
the property loss, but it is no
doubt very considerable.

More Oil Wells.
Rig timbers are being hauled
from Yale today, Friday, be-
tween two and three miles west
of town to the Skeen place or the
farm adjoining. This location
is near the big gas well recently
brought in in that vicinity. It
is understood th it ihe rig will
be erected at once and that dril-
ling will immf»riinfplv follow.
The Drumright fire was more
disasterous than at first reported
here. Mrs. C. B. Wallace and
Fred O. Willard were trapped in
a rooming house by the flames
and burned to death. The dis-
trict burned includes the entire
west half of ihe block of which
the east half was burned in a
previous fire, on the south side
of Broadway, beginning at the
Lewie rooms and extending east
and south. The property loss is
estimated at $50,000.
