two white men stepped into the road
citd stopped him and ordered him to
throw up his hands. Mr. Hoff im-
mediately complied with the demand
fend one of the men started to run to
head of the team which frightened
the horses and started them on down
Uie^oad. The other man, evidently
tHiBring the victim was attempting
to (scape, drew a revolver and shot
bteithrough the neck twice, and also
$txB£k him on the head and shoulder
Wll]£a weapon of some sort, The first
tort went through the back part of
the necfl, missing* the bone narrowly,
white the second merely erased the
sUn below the other shot. Having
fiSot and beaten Mr. Hoff they pro-
rftaded to rob him of $42.On and told
hits to drive on, which he proceeded
to do until he arrived at the home of
Mr. Pembsrton two mlleg south of

to Dr. Martin, the liveryman, who
ewpe out and got him and brought
blm back to Bristow.

27-14-8, 12 miles south of Bristow,
have a 400-arrel well which came in
i Tuesday afternoon of this week after
l aving been given a shot of nitro,
; The well is in the Tucker sand at
about 3100 feet. The well had been
unpromising and according to our
best information the owners had
about given it up as a bad job when a
showing of oil was encountered and it
was decided to shoot it for develop-
ments. After the shot there were no
immediate.results and the owners
were still at the location but had
about decided there was nothing to it.
Then something happened. There was
a rumbling noise from the well and
presently the oil began fiowinsf-smd
kept it up steadily for the five hours
or more the reporting party remained
at the well, and is supposed to (be still
at it. It is estimated to be good for
400 barrels daily.

The Red Cross kangaroo police
court was established this morning
in the vacant store next to Burney
Brazel's.
Thifl court, although only in opena>
tion a few hours, is doing a mon-
strous business and judging from the
doclcet will be forced to remain open
into the late hours of the evening.
The Red Cross has placed its most
efficient policemen on the force and
there would i>e very little use of try-
ing to evade the copa or to try to run
from them. They will not ahoot you,
Wit they can run, too—so can those
lady cops dt the'Tied Cross. ~ >
All of the fines astessed will go to
the Red Crosa fund.
Heavy fines are being tacked on
and it is up to the populace to walk
theMine as long as this court is in
sessidn. ' '

RED CROSS FUND
AT $62,000,000
Washington, June 23.—From sharp
midweek rivalries of many cities in
the Red Cross 9100,000,000 campaign
about $18,000,000 rolled into the

days total reported early last night
to national headquarters atoovf $62,-

duced more than )27,000,000^«nd the
remainder of the colintry IlU^.jnn,-

?4,000,000. The north central divis-
ion still held first place, with more
than 915)000,000; the middle-Atlan-
tic second, with nearly 110,000,000;

Many of the members of the local
Red Cross and rrrtny of the public as
well, are asking, What has the people
of Drumright dohe in this national
Red Cross drive? It is a question
that thej may justly oak.
Cushing has raised neatly $10,000
in this week's drive. McAlester haa
done likewise. Sapulpa has wiped us
off the map. And Drumright ?
Has it got to a point where the
people of Drumright have got to have
(heir sons and those dear to them go
to the front, be wounded, and die
for the lacjt of proper treatment, be-
fore this populace will wake up to
the fact that we are in war and that
our own flesh and blood is looking
to us, with upraised hands, pleading
that wc do not neglect them? That
we do not leave them to die on the
battle field, when a little effort on our
part will not only save their lives,-frot ■
will make those lives worth living.
How many of the women of Drum-
right think of this as they are play-
ing bridge whist, or five hundred, or
giving tlteir pink teas? Could not
just as an enjoyable a time be had
in gathering together, for the purpose
fo sewing, aad making the necessary
garments and articles that are needed
to property attend to our sick and
wounded at the battle front?
For humanity's sake, and the sake
of our own flesh nnd blood and those
dear to ua, let us all pull In hatmony
nnd prodace results, such ns was done
in the formation of the local Red
Cross here. It is true that they are
organized. But because they are
doti't leave it all u|> to them. It ia
y nr duty, whether a meiktwr af Am
Red Crdsa or not, to do your bit.
E*on't wait until it hurts, but do it
before iC (torts.
