Misses Jessie and Lucy Mont-
gomery entertained last Friday
evening at their home on Camp-
bell street, in honor of Miss Min-
nie Jondahl of Stroud, who has
been visiting them since Christ-
mas. Many pleasing features
were introduced in the way of
games. They had prepared at-
tractive little booklets entitled,
"Nuts to Crack," in which were
ten conundrums, the^answer to
each being the name of a nut.
These booklets with pencils at-
tached were handed around to the
guests who were required to write
the answers and on a blank page
to write an original poem with
nuts as the subject. The lady's
prize was awarded to Miss Frank-
ie Myall and the gentleman's
prize to Virgil Alden, for having
the best poem ar.d the correct
answers to the conundrums.
These prizes were beautiful little
china cups and saucers. Misses
Johndahl and Sherwood furnish-
ed some good music. At eleven
o'clock dainty refreshments were
served. It was an evening of
thorough enjoyment. The guests
were, Misses Myrtle Nihart, Lu
ella Jones, Grace Hughes, Geor-
gia and Minnie Greene, Frankie
Myall, Hazel Geary, Aetna Sher-
wood; Messrs Jas. Myall, Herbert
Blake, Virgil Alden, Byrl Beach,

one of the best athletes the Nor-
mal ever had, and all connected
with that institution, especially
those interested in athletics are
rejoicing over his return. He had
gone to Missouri and did not ex-
pect to return here.
Where is Hall?
Considerable speculation is be-
ing indulged in relat/ } to the
disappearance fro m Oklahoma
of R. D. Hall, a prominent real
estate dealer and promoter and
erstwhile chairman of the demo-
cratic county central committee.
C. F. Elerick of the Bank of
Oklahoma City and father-in-law
of the vanished man, was asked
concerning Hall's whereabouts
and could give no information
concerning same.
"Is it true that he has disap-
peared and can not be located?"
was asked.
"Yes," was the response. "He
disappeared about four weeks
ago and we have been unable to
learn anything concerning his
whereabouts since that time."
Hall recently maintained an
office in the Culbertson building.
The rental agent for that build-
ing when questioned on the sub-
ject yesterday said: 'It is com-
mon talk on the street that Hall
has departed for parts unknown.
He sold his office furniture and
left without paying our claim for
rent."
Hall was recently engaged in
exploiting McCorrack's Factory
addition in this city, was inter-
ested in a real estate promoting
enterprise at Shawnee and was
also interested in a similar en-
terprise at Vinita, I. T.
Hall has a wife and family in
Oklahoma and, so far as can be
ascertained, his domestic rela-
tions were happy, but so far no
reason for his disappearance has
been assigned,though it is hinted
that a little affair d'amour at
Shawnee may possibly result in
the eventual solution of the mys-
tery.
Hall boasted to friends of his
rise from penury and had appar-
ently been very successful in
business affairs. He has for
several years figured prominent-
ly in countypolitics,formerly as a
populist and later as a democrat
of the Bryan school.—Wednes-
day's Oklahoman.
