Cushing, June 2, (Special)—
Mrs. Ruth Schultz, of Kansas
City, Mo., arrived in Cushing,
Monday morning, enroute to
Drumright, to regain custody of
her four year old boy, stolen
from her home in Kansas City
by her husband, from whom she
was separated.
Photographs and descriptions
of the child and Schultz were
sent to the Cushing authorities
and the gentleman in question
was located by Chief Detective
Dan Herring, in Drumright
where he was employed.
Monday morning Mrs. Schultz,
in company with a Mr. Mat-
thews, a friend of the family,
left for Drumright, and finally
obtained possession of the child,
and immediately left for Cush-
ing. At the suggestion of the
driver, they changed their route
and went to Yale instead to catch
the Katy north for Kansas City.
Arriving four hours prior to the
departure of the train, they reg-
istered at the Santa Fe Hotel,
and when the irate husband ar-
rived, he immediately filed
charges of adultery against Mrs.
Schultz and Matthews.
Attorney Dan Weldon was
called to defend Mrs. Schultz
and Matthews. After investiga-
tion the case was dismissed, as
papers which Mrs. Schultz had
proved that she was entitled to
possession of the child, and it
was decided that Kansas City
was the proper place for the
trial to be held.
Before the case was dismissed,
Schultz made an attempt tc
again regain possession of the
child, but was prevented from
doing so by a Yale officer.
Shortly after this Schultz disap-
peared, first telling City Prose

DR. CRUZAN
the I'-th day of last August they
lived happily together, he hav-
ing a lucrative business in Kan-
sas City. About that time a sis-
ter of Mrs Schultz entered the
home. She was in trouble and
Mr. Scdultz sought to aid and
help her. There were complica-
tions at this time which were
best not in print, but which in
no wise reflects on the integrity
of Mr. Schultz. He sold out his
Kansas City business and sought
& H9W location: While absent a'
mother-in law appeared on the |
scene, abducted wife and child ■
and household effects. t
Mr. Schultz was twice cited to'
appear in court on a charge of,
non-support of a minor child and
both times appeared. Finally
he was ordered by the court to
contribute $5.00 weekly to the
support of the child with the ad-
ditional provision that he was to
be allowed to visit his baby at
any time. This privilege was de-
nied him and he was thwarted at
every turn by his wife and her
relatives, He stole the child
and decamped to Oklahoma; in
turn his wife came to Oklahoma
and spirited the boy away. As
the Derrick predicted in its first
story, after interviewing Mr.
Schultz, we again say this story
is not all written.
WE'RE ALL
"SHAFFER" COUNTY
A PLEASANT PARTA
Last Saturday evening a pleas-
ant birthday party was given in
honor of Lum Harmon at the
home of his father fuur and one-
half miles east of D:umright.
Those piesent were: Mr. and
Mrs. Burney Brazil, Mr and Mrs.
Hillard, Mr. and Mrs. J. M.
Persuant to a call issued to
the people of Drumright and
vicinity, a representative crowd
of citizens and business men met
at the Methodist Episcopal
church last (Tuesday) evening
to discuss the proposition of a
new county to be formed from
portions of Payne, Lincoln and
Creek. This movement was up
more than a year ago and, it
will be remembered, loat out
only by a very small per cent in
the portion to be taken from
Lincoln county—Payne and
Creek being for the new county
by a comfortable majority.
Last night's meeting was
brought to order by Postmaster
Blair, who in| a few well timed
remarks stated the purpose of
the meeting and at the same
time outlined the course Drum-
right citizens, in his opinion,
should .pursue. He decried the
idea of a county seat controversy
at this time and gracefully ad-
mitted the superior claims of
Cushing for this distinction. The
slogan as enunciated by him is,
''Shaffer county first, all things
needful will come thereafter,"
and be settled in good time.
'Tis not the name nor a county
capital nor yet a set of county
officers that we seek, but what
we do want is fair and just treat-
ment and a more convenient
county seat and men of the
highest integrity for officers.
Mr. Blair sounded the key
note, the speakers that followed
being with' him unanimously and
to a fine point which left no
the part of our sister cit,>
west
The unanimity of thought and
spirit speaks well for the final
succe s of this second Shaffer
county movement.
The chairman was, on motion,
instructed to appoint a number
of committees to confer and act
jn concert with other towns and
sections of Creek county inter-
ested in the movement. The
sentiment was strong for the
new county yet this part of
Creek realizes that she will
meet strong opposition and to
overcome that opposition will be
her first task.
Up until a late hour to-day,
Chairman Hibbard had not an-
nounced his committees, he be-
ing anxious to make wise selec-
tions that there may be no criti-
cism of the personnel of those
who will be given the important
duty of initiating this movement
in Oilton, Pemeta, Markham,
Shamrock and throughout the
length and breadth of CreeK's
contribution to the territory of
the new county of Shaffer.
The Derrick is for the new
county, first, last and all the time,
It has the courage of its convic-
tions and looks forward to a suc-
cessful issue of the movement so
auspiciously started at last night's
I meeting.

KNIGHTS AND LADIES
OF SECURITY
J. F. Turner of Tulsa, district
manager of the Knights and
Ladies of Security is in the city.
Mr. Turner announces that there
will be an important meeting of
this society held at their meet-
ing place on Thursday night and
urges all members of the fra-
ternity to be present.
It is asserted that copies of
Tuesday's Sapulpa Herald sold
as high as $1.00 each. Men took
this means of showing their sym-
pathy for the paper and that
their moral support and financial
backing could be depended upon
to repair the damage done the
night before when an attempt
was made to destroy the plant by
explosives.
C. G. Williams, has
signed his i>osition with
Drumright State Bank, a situa-.
tion he has held for a long time j
and filled well and satisfactorily.
After June 1st, Mr. Williams
will be engaged in the insurance
business, associated with A. P.
