The fact which Rev. Mr. Wickizer
considers most significant is that

He has also ordained several young
men for the ministry during his resi-
dence here.
Mr. Wickizer will take up his work
at once at Vinita, where he will be

day, March 1. Twenty-two divorce
cases and twenty-two cases in which
issues of law are involved will be
brought before F. B. Swaitl:, dis-
trict judge the first day. Glen O
Morris, county clerk, announced
Saturday.
Probably the biggest and most in
teresting case on the docket i> thr
State of Oklahoma vs. Tom Dilbeck,
charged with murder. The case is
the one in which Frank Wolf was
killed. Fifty people signed Dilheck's
bond.
Cases set for the first day of the
term are as follows: State of Okla-
homa vs. R. L. Price, false pren-
tense; State of Oklahoma vs. I. \.
Harrison, burglary; State of Okla-
homa vs. Tom Moore, false pre
tense.
Other important criminal casi

assault with deadly weapon: Stat

et al., burglary; State of Oklahoni.
vs W. R. Ingram, grand larceny;
State of Oklahoma vs. F. L. Stamps,
false pretense. .
There are a number of important
civil cases on docket but it is prob-
able that they may not be reached
this term because the jury can not
be kept over about two weeks as
the farmers are so busy at this time
of the year.
M. F. Fischer drew biulding
permit No. 1 Friday when he
appiled for license to build a
garage costing $400 at 318 Hast
Comanche, on lots 9 and 10 in

gater pushes faving
for property owners
An effort is being made by city
manager W. R. Gater to interest Nor-
man propert* owners in circulating
petitions for street paving in dif
feretit parts of the city where streets
are unpaved.
East Main street with the excep-
tion of Asp and Boulevard is one of
the most used streets in town but
unpaved. .
Property valuation on l'.ast Main
would not stand a levy for a liard-
Mirfaced pavement, Gater belives
but would for nine inchs of grave
with a concrete curb.
A supply of gravel is now acces
sible for paving purposes and man
gcr Gater is anxious to see im
mediate action taken.
There is also onr block on West
Boyd between College and Elm
which is in need of attention as th
contract for paving on the adjoin
ing block between Chautauqua and
West Boyd has already been let, and
that leaves only one unpaved block
on that street.

during the game but she refused to

for her to stay in the game, bu
she did and she once threw a goa
