Shoot to Kill in Muskogee
County After Giving:
Written Warn ing
Muskcgee.—A powerful organiza-
tion of \lufckoK<'< county farmers
has dt dared open Maifar«- on Mui
kogee's jelly b"ans aud flapp« rs who
seek open spates tor their p.-ttins
pat lies, and the i-ampaiKjn Is lieinrf
carried on with gunpowder and ste*!
bullets.
Complaints have been made to t'le
sheriff's office, shots have been e<.
( hanged, signs have bc^n posted aud
bullet dents on several automobile*
in Muskogee today prove the serious
nature of the farmers' attitude t v
ward the petting nuisance.
Trouble bus been brewing for a
long time but It was only recently
tint the pent up ire of the farmers
reached the bursting point and shot
guns and automatic pistols we.c
brought into play to force the Musko-
gee jel!> bean and his flapper flame
hack t« the city to do their loving.
Sign on the Highway
Yesterday afternoon, by the side of
a road leading from tho Jefferson
highway to a farm near Summit, sev-
en mites south of Muskogee, was post-
ed this sign: ''Petting Grounds One
Milo East."
Failure on the part of two ovir
rnalous lovers last night to heed tha
subtle warning of the notire brought
dow.n the wrath of a farmer on the
tarty and a raiu of bullets from h
rifle sent the couple back into tho
highway stepping on the gas all the
way to town.
The farmer wasn't merely shooting
to frighten. Flo took aim and reported
to the sheriffs office he heard tl'e
patter of bullets as they stnick th.o
tody cf the automobile.
This farmer, whose name the sher-
iff r? cftice did not disclose, described
the actions of the petting parties
which caused him to throw discretion
end prudence to tho winds and pr.>
tect with ammunition his "shack" as
he put it.
Isn't Merely a Crank
"I am not a reformer and don 't
want ! o be one," he told deputy
sheriffs in Muskogee when reporting
ihe shooting. "Cut I am not going to
i llow thi.i thing to go any further.
"The other night I was sitting in
r.iy front porch with my family and
a neighor's family.
"Several cars drove down the high
way, turned Into the side road, polite
ly and apparently without any char
gin, gave the right of way to the car**

I Florence Edie knows that her lover
j N'lck Etlwein. is dead. She was tc'.d
i late this afternoon by the wife of the
! « end man who is here assisting in
'he investigation.
Upon hearing the news Miss Edie
was" hysterical for several mi^hites
and hospital attendants were called
to quiet her.
1 For some minutes after she had re-
gained control of herself she cried
j Utterly and asked why she had net
. been told of his death t>efore.
When she had become epiiet again
she was questioned at length by Mrs.
Erlweic us to the cause of the ex
plosion but she maintained the attl-
ture she has ever since the explosion
j that she knew knew nothing of it
I Posing as the sister of Nick Krle-
i wein, Mrs. Nick Krleweln, wife of tho
lead man. who was killed i,n the ex
posion of the Illinois hotel, met Flor-
ence Edle face to face at the General
hospital Wednesday afternoon.

''What are they doing down the??*
i my 11.tie girl asked.
"Well, the next morni,ng my wife
-aid sn . wasn't going to live there it
ihat situation continued und as 1 had
decided I bad made my last move. I
thought I'd put an end to it. 1 came
to town, got some ammunition and I
shot to hit the next jnight.
Says He Isn't Only One
I ' Maybe I was doing wrong to alia
at them but I am sick and tired of
this petting party business and a lot
t f other farmers feel the same way
.about it.
j "These city people who think thev
can drive out into our front yards, for
carressing purposes had better watch
out."

Her c(\nvenation with Florence
'idle lasted over 40 minutes. Never
in all of this time did she even 1st
out a hint that her husband was dead
jcr iliat she was his wife. At times
small tear# came into her eyes but
they were rapidly hrushe 1 away and
ioriing a smile she ountinued the
I conversation.
I She went to fi,**;l out one thing. DM
I h*r husband love Florence Kdle an 1

ASK COMPROMISE
TO SETTLE SUIT
Sapulpa.—A plea that the city of j
Sapulpa accept $500 as a compromise
for its suit for $100,000 damages
against the Livingstone Oil company. 1
was entered before the city comn U-
floners last night by an attorney fc.r
the oil company.
The suit was filed several years
ig'j against several oil companies
wno had allowed salt water to be
pumped from oil wells, and had .not
kept the salt water out of a creel;
that flowed Into tho city water sup-
ply reservoir. All of the damage suits
have been settled in the city's favor
with the exception of the suit against
the Livingstone company which has
not yet been tried before the court.
The oil company's attorney stated
last night, in his plea for the com-
promise, that his clients had suc-
ceeded In digging a deep well near
their salt water oil well and had
stopped the flow of tho salt water
Into the creek. Tho compromise offer
was referred to the finance commit
tee for action.
