Commissioner
Cox on the Job
County Commissioner C. F.
Cox is strictly on the job and
there is every indication he is go-
ing to prove a most excellent of-
ficer, looking after the interests of
his district in every way possible
in the matter of roads ar.d bridges,
and in every other particular. The
past week he has been working
on roads and bridges in the vici-
nity of Maguire and east of
Denver, also' repairing the bridge
north of cemetery, Merkle bridge
west of town, besides superin-1
tending repairs on the South Ca- j
nadian bridge.the work being done
by Cleveland and McClain coun-
ties in conjunction with each .
other. The same is true of the
other County Commissioners, J. j
D. Anderson at Lexington and R.
F. McBride of the Moore district, j
The affairs of the county are be- j
ing well administered by these |
three gentlemen, and especially I
are the road and bridges to be
be considered.
Good Rain at Noble
County Superintendent Clark
returned on Saturday from a trip
east of Noble and tells the Trans-
cript that a good rain fell in that
locality on Friday and another one
today. It reached about a mile
north of Noble and from there to
near Lexington, being of (inesti-
mable benefits to the crops.
Just a little sprinkle fell at Nor-
man on Friday and a similar one
today, but there is every indica-
tion that we'll get a good one
soon.

EXTRACTS IN
LEAD IN WET
RACE FOR FLAG
Effects of the prohibition
law are beginning to be seen
in Norman. A casual stroll
down the alleys of the busi-
ness section of town will veri-
fy this fact.
As a result, rumor has it
that flavoring extracts are
scheduled for an advance in
the very near future. It may
even reach the tremendous
height that boot-leg whiskey
has,-but it will never have the
popularity that that brand of
intoxicating liquor has.
In the matter of flavoring,
vanilla seems to have the edge
just now, with lemon running
a close second. Pride is said
to ride before a fall, however,
and lemon is looked to be in
the lead soon.
Tanlac, bay rum and "sich
like" are in the cellar division,
receiving poor support.
Put On The Cover
That has been the slogan the
past few nights, and we certainly
trust it will continue to be. Cer-
tainly neither Colorado nor the
northern lakes can surpass the

The county court room was
well filled Friday and Saturday
listening to the trial of Frank
Wolf, three cases being tried. In
the first one he was charged with
selling four quarts of Yellowstone
whisky to some University boys
on the night of June 6th, in the
second the charge was being
drunk and having a row with the
Santa Fe agent at the depot, and
in the third, selling a pint of
liquor to Will Hill.
The first case was called at 9:30
with Judge Eagleton assisting
County Attorney Cheatwood in
the prosecution and Wolf being
defended by Attorneys Tom May-
field, Custer Burke and J. 1).
Grigsby. The jury was Leo I'U-
man, Joe Vincent, Ray Fischer,
C. W. Vaughn, J. K. Bridgwater
and Albert Turbyfill.
The testimony disclosed that a
few days before the 6th day of
June Graham Johnson was ap-
proached by Frank Wolf and told
that if the Tobasco club wanted
some liquor for their annual meet-
ing he (Wolf) could supply it
Johnson testified he communica
ted Wolf's statement to the To
basco boys, and further testified
that on the afternoon of Friday.
June 6th, about 4 or 4:30 o'clock,
Wolf again met him and informed
him he was ready to deliver the
whisky. C. D. Reasor and Roger
Leahy, officers of the Tobascos.
testified that Graham Johnson had
told them Wolf would sell them
whisky and was ready to deliver
the goods, and at a meeting of the
board $24 was appropriated for
the purchase and eight more of
the boys contributed $3 each mak-
ing $24 more. Gardner Cullom and
Bailey Vincent swore to getting
the liquor from Wolf at a point
south of the University on June
26th about 8 o'clock p. tn. and
paying him $48 for four quarts.
Vincent fully identified Wolf as
the man from whom the purchase
was made and the man to whom
the $48 was paid. Johnson testi-
fied he had nothing to do with
the purchase nor did he drink any
of the liquor; merely telling the
boys what Wolf had told him.
Wolf's defense was an alibi. He
testified that he and his wife and
brother, Dewey, had left Norman
for El Reno on the 5 o'clock In-
terurban car the evening of June
6th, and did not get back until
fnidnigTit. He was corroberated
by his mother, Mrs. B. F. Wolf,
who testified to going to the car
with him. and by Joe Talley and
ex-Sheriff Ben Wheelis, who de
clared they saw him and his, wife
and Dewey on the car that even-
ing and rode with them to Okla-
homa City. A. R. Oliver of El
Reno, who said he was a deputy
sheriff of Canadian county, also
testified to seeing Wolf in El-
Reno that evening. On rebuttal
City Marshal Sanderson testified
that he saw Wolf in Norman
after 6 o'clock the evening of the
6th.
The argument for Wolf was
made by Attorneys Mayfield and
Grigsby and was an appeal in the
most part to the sympathies of the
jury, setting forth that Wolf was
almost the sole support of his
mother, a widow, and "barred his
breast" to the shots of the enemy
in the late war. County Attoney
Cheatwood and Judge Eagleton
made strong arguments on the
facts of the case as they had de
veloped from the testimony.
The jury retired at 6 o'clock p
m. and was out all night, being
unable to agree. At 9 o'clock Sat
urday morning they came into the
court with that report, but the
judge sent them back for further
consideration. At noon Saturday
they were still unable to agree
and were discharged. It is said
the jury stood four to two in favor
of conviction, Ray Fischer and
Leo Ullnian not being satisfied
with the evidence and giving Wolf
the benefit of the doubt. County
Attorney Cheatwood says the case
will be tried again at next term
of county court in October.
In the second case the same at-
torneys appeared as counsel. The
witnesses told of the row at the
Santa Fe depot between Marvin
Holly, the night ticket man, and
Wolf, and the testimony was so
strong that Wolf was under the
influence of liquor on that occas-
ion that the jury was out only a
few minutes before returning with
a verdict of "guilty." The jury
was W. F. Emery, A. B. Barton, I
Ira King, J. H. Martin, J. C. Hol-
man and W. J. Campbell. Wolf |
'was given a sentence of $50 fine, I
$49 costs and $15 attorney fee; in
all $114.
In the third case Will Hill tes-
tified that he arranged with Wolf ]
to go down and put a pint of I
whisky in his (Hill's) garage, giv-
ing him the key to the garage for
that purpose, and was to pay him
$7.00 for it. Wolf, he testified,
brought back the key to him, and
when he later went to the garage
with Bud Foster and John Wil-
son the whisky was there in the
Ford, and the three men went out
into the country and drank it.
There was some testimony to the
DOLL'S PARK
"The Beauty Spot of Norman"
Doll's Park is not ready for tin-
grand opening, but on account
of the great demand of our many
friends to enjoy a swim in tin
new pool, we have decided t i
open it informally to the public
today.
The pool will be full of pure
city water, and the swimming will
be fine.
We want you to understand
that everything is not ready for
the opening, but will be just as
soon as money and human beings
can put the work in readiness.
It is our desire, and we will
spare no pains or expense in mak-
ing Doll's l'ark the real "Beauty
Spot" of Norman, however it will
take a little while to do it, and
we trust you will bear with us.
We will be open Sunday from
1 to 8 p. m., in order not to inter-
fere with religious services.
The admission is 25c when you
furnish your suit, 35c when we
furnish the suit, plus war tax,
however we wish ta state that
you will have to furnish your suit
until further notice, as the 200
suits we have ordered have not
arrived.
Watch for the grand opening.
