Couldn't Get Sheriff
This morning the fcvenln? Derrick
tried unsuccessfully for two hours to
get Sheriff Lhij&gston on the pboce,
both at Sapulpa and Bristow. This
paper was unable to learn where the
sheriff might be found.
Officers here are angry at Sheriff
l ivingston for his actlcn in relation
to this afaflr They say that although
he was present at the time "The
Jigger" was raided he was unarmed
and that he took no active part in
the raid.
Officers in Drumright are anxious-
ly awaiting official confirmation of
these prevailing rumors, a,nd until
the reports are confirmed they will
cary on with their duties, they aay.
The Drumright m^n who partici-
