A LIVE REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER—DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF NORMAN AND CLEVELAND COUNTY,
VOLUME XXVII
NORMAN, CLEVELAND COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1916
NUMBER 43
DESTRUCTION BY THE STORM
Many Mint" Trees Blown Down-
fiouses Unroofed—Windows
Blown In—Nearly One and
One-Half Inches of
Rain
About 3 o'clock this morning, and
lasting half an hour or more, Nor-
man was visited by one of the sever-
est straight-wind storms she has ever
experienced, accompanied by a
heavy rain and a continuous glare
of lighting. The storm came almost
directly from the north, or maybe a
little northeast, and a very heavy
bank of clouds swept from east to
west across the north horizon, in-
dicating that a very heavy storm
was raging in Northern Oklahoma.
The most exteni^e damage done
in Norman wa to trees, hardly i
home place in the city escaping dam
age in this respect, and many suffer-
ing the serious loss of fine trees. In
some places trees were uprooted, in
others they were broken off squarely,
and others had great limbs and
branches stripped from them. The
streets and yards this morning were
strewn with limb and branches.
The most serious damage to a resi-
dence occurred at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. Minteer, corner of West
Comanche and Uni Boulevard. The
wind blew down a big chimney which
crushed through the roof of the house,
making a large hole into which the
rain plunged in great volume, doing
much damage to ceilings and walls
and furniture and carpets. Earl Min-
teer was sleeping in the room into
which the chimney crashed, and it
missed him only about a foot He
says he got out of there "right now."
The rest of the family and numerous
neighbors were in the cave.
It blew down that big yellow In*
terurban sign, smashing it up consid-
erably—and nobody cares.
J. M. I'OTTS COMMITS
Former Resident of Norman
Poison at Hotel lvingkade
Oklahoma City.
SUICIDE
Takes
J. M. Potts, formerly a resident of
this city, having lived in the Shackle-
ford property on East Daws, com-
mitted suicide in the Hotel Kingkaae
in Oklahoma City yesterday afternoon
by takng poison. He was 50 years of
age, and came here with his family
to educate his children, returning to
Frederick some months ago, when
he owned considerable property.
The Transcript learns that Mr
Potts has been having a great deal of
trouble since his return to Frederick,
having become mixed up with a wo
man, resulting in several shooting
scrapes, in one of which, it is said,
he wounded a man. Mrs. Potts had sued
him for divorce and had tied up all
the property. Norman friends of the
man, who .saw him in Oklahoma City
Tuesday say he was much worried,
and indicated by his actions that he
was almost insane.
While he lived here, Mr. Potts con-
ducted him most cfe-cumspectively,
and was well liked and regarded as a
good citizen. The Transcript regrets
his downfall and his death under such
distressing circumstances, and extends
earnest sympathies to his family.
He left a note asking the authori-
ties to notify his brother at Frederick,
and asking that he be buried by the
side of his boy in Frederick cemetery.

Monument to an Apple Tree
Perhaps one of the most curious monuments in existence has
recently been built in Ontario by Canadians. The farmers have
just erected a marble pillar to mark the site on which grew a
famous apple tree.
More than a century ago, a settler in Canada named Mcintosh,
when clearing a space in wnich to make a home in the wilderness
discovered among a number of wild apple trees one which bore
fruit so well that he cultivated it and named it McIntosh red.
The apple became famous; seeds and cuttings were distributed
to all parts of Canada, so that now the McIntosh red flourishes
wherever apples grow in the great Dominion. In 1896, the
original tree from which this enormous family sprang was in-
jured by fire; but it continued to bear fruit until five years ago
Then, after fifteen years, it died, and the grateful farmers have
raised a marble pillar in honor of the tree which has done so
much for the fruit-growing industry of their land.
The story of this apple tree illustrates the African proverb
that though you can count the apples on one tree, you can never
count the trees in one apple.—Popular Science Monthly.

INDEPENDENCE ITEMS.
Six hundred and twenty-five
students had enrolled for the annual
summer session of the University of
Oklahoma at 9 o'clock Monday fore-
noon, when the first assembly period
of the summer session was called to
order by Dr. W. W. Phelan, director
of the s mmer session of the univer-
sity, and something like 100 more
have enrolled. University officials
predict a total enrollment of 900 be-
fore the end of the week, for new
students are arriving hourly, coming
from all parts of Oklahoma and from
adjoining states.
By 6 o'clock Monday evening nine
ty-five students had arrived and reg-
istered. The Cleveland county in-
stitute has been combined with the
regular summer session for the first
time this year. Miss Kate Barbour,
superintendent of the Cleveland
county public schodls, made ar-
rangements with Dr. Phelan this
spring for holding the Cleveland
county institute in Monnet hall so
that the county teachers could taye
advantage of the regular work offer-
ed by the university during the sum-
mer.
M. A. Nash, principal of the Ma-
dill high school, and N. H. Edwards,
superintendent of the Norman city
schools, have charge of the county
institute work under the supervision
of Dr. Phelan.
RUCKER'S JUNE CLEARANCE
SALE OPENS THURSDAY
Highest Stage. Ever Recorded at
Oklahoma City—Crops on Bot-
tom Lai'd Destroyed—Wa-
ter is Now Receding
A crowd of farmers living west of
Oklahoma City on Sunday destroyed
a cut-off dam that had been built by
Oklahoma City officials to furnish
a supply of water for the city, charg-
ing that its existence was flooding
their fields and destroying their
ti ops. The crowd was led by A. J.
Henthorn, a prominent farmer, and
the whole affair was conducted open-
ly and above board.
3ut destroying the cut-off seems
ti> have been of little avan, for the
tig rise in the North Canadian over
flowed their fields and their crops
went down the river.
It is said the river after having at-
tained the highest stage ever re-
corded in Oklahoma City, began fall-
ing this morning, and interurban rail-
way service was resumed on the line
to El Reno, a new bridge having been
erected at Briarwood, eleven miles
west of Oklahoma City. At that
point the floodwater is a mile in
width.
The broadest point, however, is im-
mediately west of the city and south
of West Main street where the river
is estimated to be fully two mites
w ide.
In the old cut-off locality west of
Orchard park, fifty families moved
out of their homes last night, leaving
their household goods in the buildings.
They appealed to the city authorities
this morning for aid in removing their
effects, but were informed that noth-
ing could be done with the water six
feet deep in the houses.
In the district from Packingtown
eastward to Walnut Grove it is esti-
mated by the police, there are 200
houses partially submerged. In the
South Robinson street district, below
the 1100 block the water is up to the
eaves of some of the houses| A

morning at 4 o'clock. Her husband,

when death came. Mrs. Lawrence
came to Norman in 1907 with her
husband and two children, the young-

her residence here she made many
friends who will deeply miss her. She
was a loving and faithful wife and

"To know her was to love her."
