A Pleasing Function
From Saturday's Daily
What is said to have been one
of the most pleasing "homey"
functions of the season was that
given to Mrs. Henrietta Winton
anjl Mrs. A. K. Loomis at the
home of the former Friday af-
ternoon. Mrs. Loomis leaves to-
day to spend a year with her
daughters, Mrs. "Deac" Parker
in Oklahoma City and Mrs. Fred
Carder in Cordell, and Mrs. Win-
ton expects to go to Chicago
soon to be with her daughter.
Leota. The function was in the
nature of a "surprise," to allow
tV ir friends to show their love
and esteem for two of Norman's
most estimable ladies, and was a
complete success in every par-
ticular. The ladies present were
Mrs. R. C. Berry. Mrs. C. H.
Bessent, Mrs. Ed E. Johnson,
Mrs. I-. J. Edwards Mrs. C. R.
Lawrence, Mrs. T. E. Smith,
Mrs. J. M. Gresharr. Mrs. Julia
Taylor, Mrs. W. .1 Davis, Mrs.
L. D. Corning, Mrs. S. Is. Mc-
Call, Mrs. W. C. Smith and Mrs.
J. C. Minteer.
Norman High Has Bright
Prospects
From Monday's daily.
In answer to the call issued by
coach "Dottie" Holland some 30
husky candidates have present-
ed themselves on Boyd field and
are indulging in a little "prelim-
inary" foot ball.
Much anxiety has been felt
among the fans as to the men
who would fill the places of the
old men who went out last year,
but to one watching from the
sidelines, these new ones are
giving excellent promise as they
tear through, around and over
the old men in their fight for
the coveted honor of wearing an
"N."
Capt. "Cottie" Britt is on left
end strivin gto keep the new
ones from any exalted opinions
of themselves from their suc-
cess in rounding the ends for
long gains. Bub Capshaw has
put on some 30 pounds and looks
like varsity material as he tears
through the line. John Bumgar-
ner is developing speed and be-
gins to look like a back field
man. George McFerron is full
grown and will do good work.
Jim Johnson, who played sub
end last year, will be a strong
candidate for a regular position
on this year's eleven. Big
"Dutch" Meyer, the efficient
center of last year, is back in his
old time form.
Of the new men perhaps the
most noticeable would be Ed
Russell. He is quick, fast on
foot, an effective dodger and
possesses a cool head. With a
little coaching he ought to prove
a valuable back field man for the
team. "Pete" Mayfield, who
played quarter on the 2nd team
last year, is in line for the regu-
lars. The two Abbotts, George
and "Wall," are out and doing
good work.
The rumor that Paul McFer-
ron, "Big Mack," will not be in
school has caused some anxiety,
but the writer feels sure that
when the curtain rises on the
first game "Big Mack" will be
there in his war togs.
Others who have reported for
practice are: Henderson, Gra-
ham Johnson, DeLong, Dewey
and Roy Foster L.ouis McCali,
Tucker, Sherman, Mozley, Wel-
don, Hicks, Davis, Stephens and
Smith.
Presbyterians Undecided
From Monday's Daily
The Presbyterians held a
church meeting yesterday and
thorougly discussed the advisa-
bility and non-advisability of
moving their church building to
the new site. Some of them fa-
vored it, some were opposed and
many non-committal, and no
agreement was arrived at. It
was figured it would cost $400
to move, and $600 more to make
necessary improvements, and
the question was whether it
would be worth it.
The solution is a new church
building, and a determined ef-
fort will be made to build one.
Gale at Lexington
A gale which in many respects
resembled a cyclone struck Lex-
ington Sunday afternoon, Sept.
6th, doing considerable damage.
The Church of Christ was mov-
ed six or eight feet from its
foundation and otherwise dam-
aged. The barn at Dr. Robert
Thacker's home was also dam-1
aged. The roof of the W. K.
Breeding building was torn up
and the water poured in on the
rooms occupied by Mrs. L. E.
Angle, seeping through the1
floor and doing several hundred
dollars worth of damage to the
Bahner & Ward stock of goods
on the ground floor. The Tom j
Ragsdale shop was damaged1
somewhat also. Trees all over]
town were blown down, and
many outbuildings were com- j
pletel.v wrecked. — Lexington
Leader.
No Bridge Celebration
From Tuesday's Daily
A few or' the faithful braved
the mud and dampness and
threatened rain yesterday, and
went oi|t to the park to celebrate
the opening of the bridge, but
there were so few of them that
it was thought best to postpone
the affair. Maybe there will be
a celebration later, and maybe
not. Anyhow, the bridge is open
to traffic, is opening up a fine
section of country to the Nor-
man merchants, is going to be a
<rreat convenience to the people
of both counties, and probably
those facts are celebration
enough.
First Prize on Ducks
From Tuesday's Daily
Mrs. U. S. Tubbs had her In-
dian Runner ducks on exhibit at
the Farmers' Institute fair here
last week and succeeded in win-
ning two first and two second
nrizes over strong competition.
The ducks are thoroughbreds,
and Mrs. Tubbs expects to have
them on exhibit at the state fair
at Oklahoma City. She is also
raising White Rock chickens,
Rhode Island reds and others
and during the past year her or-
ders for stock and eggs far ex-
ceeded the supply. Next year
she expects to go nto the busi-
ness on a much larger scale.
Sanitarium Gets Premiums
From Saturday'.1 Daily
The Sanitarium got all the
blu - and red ribbons there were,
on the display of their thorough-
bred Jersey cattle at the fair to-
,iay-—and were sure entitled to
them. It also got the blue rib-
bon for the best team of draft
mares and blue ribbon for best
single draft mare.
Dr. Griffine goes in for best
ii all particulars. The Sani-
tarium display of Jerseys and
horses, in the parade today, was
certainly most creditable to the
institution.
Umpire Staff Here
From Monday's daily.
Earl Christmas, editor of the
Umpire, and John Harley, busi-
ness manager, have arrived and
are making preliminary arrange-
ments to begin the publication
of the college paper, the first is-
sue to appear Tuesday, Septem-
ber 23, 1913. These two young
men held similar positions on
the Umpire last year, and their
wide acquaintance and good
business qualifications will fit
them for their important work
this year. The name of the pa-
per will be changed this year
from the "Umpire" to the "Uni-
versity Oklahoman."
Bootlegger Arrested
From Saturday's Daily
Albert Bauersmidt was taken
in by Deputy Sheriff Barker and
Ed Mayes, yesterday, charged
with bootlegging, and on being
"sweated" by Sheriff Pickard
told where he kept his whisky,
viz: In a kaffir corn shock in
the south part of town, where a
gallon was found. Bauersmidt
pleaded guilty before County
Judge Swank and was given 30
days in jail and $50 fine.
Death of S. H. Glenn
From Saturday's Daily
Mr. S. H. Glenn, aged 75. died
at the home of his son, J. M.
Glenn, in this city, this morning
while sitting in his chair. His
death was not unexpected, how-
ever, as he has been in bad
health for some months. The
funeral will be held tomorrow,
with burial in Fairview ceme-
tery.
Mr. Glenn was an estimable
old gentleman and his numerous
friends mourr. his death. The
surviving members of his fami-
ly are three sons and three
daughters, viz: J. M. Glenn, J.
B. Glenn and W. T. Glenn, and
Mrs. John Moten. Mrs. Mc-
Glahery of McLoud and Mrs.
Eliza Moon of Noble.

Interurban Making Connection.
From Tuesday's Daily
The interurban and Santa Fe
people are working in conjunc-
tion, putting in a switch to con-
nect the two roads. It is being
put in just south of the Wingate
elevator. This would indicate
the interurban expects to do
considerable freight business.
The weight of the iron it is put-
ting down also indicates that
freight cars can be hauled over
the road.
Tracklaying commenced in
earnest from this end this morn-
ing, the first rails being laid
just south of Gray street, and
the work will be pushed north as
rapidly as the grade is complet-
ed. A good road is being con-
structed.
High School Class Fight
Trom Tuesday's Daily
The Freshmen and Sophmores
of the high school had their an-
nual class fight today, and the
usual amusing stunts were pull-
ed off. The Freshmen outnum-
bered the Sophomores two to
one, and easily took them into
camp, parading them up and
down the streets with ropes
around their necks, and herding
them out in the suburbs im-
prisoned with log chains. It will
be all over by this evening for
another year.
Judge Tom Highlev Wins
From Tuesday's Daily.
O. A. Mitscher contested the
election of Judge Tom Highley
as commissioner of public safety
of Oklahoma City in the recent
election. Mr. Highley had been
declared elected by a majority of
25, but Mr. Mitscher declared a
recount would give him (Mit-
scher) the election. Judge Clark
allowed the ballot boxes opened
and a recount made. The result
announced is that Highley has
31 majority instead of only 25.
Mitscher will probably drop the
contest, but may undertake to
show illegal votes polled. At
any rate Highley has now much
the best of it, which will he good
news to his many Norman
friends.
