Lieutenant Governor 7 rapp
Will Purchase Bond Issue
Lieutenant Governor M. E. Trapp was in Sapulpa Saturday in
conference with Mayor J. Wade Bone concerning the forthcoming
election on the hospital issue. Following tholr talk Trapp, in an
interview with a Herald representative, said:
“If Sapulpa people will vote the bonds I will be only too glad
to purchase them.”
Thus was tha lie that there would be no market for the
bond# after they were votad blowed completely up. Sapulpana can
not ba foolod aa thay were awhile back. They know tha need of
a hospital hero and thay know the bonds can and will be sold
and a ready market for them found.

KEEP THE RECORD CLEAR
Hew Wilder would have the public
believe, from Ms latest literary gem,
that John Young, publisher of the
Herald, ia the candidate for sheriff
in place of John Woofter. Wilder
seems to be Vonslderably balled up
as to Juat who la running, probably
in an effort to clood the Issues of
the campaign About the only argu-
ment he uses to contradict the
chargee this paper has made about
hla former administration as sheriff
is “You’re a liar.”
Wilder wants to know why the
paper does not make a big noiae
about Frank Buxton, ‘Brother Frank,’
he calls him. Court records will
show that. Buxton's place has been
raided by Sheriff Woofter a num-
ber of times and that several cases
are now pending against him in the
courts. These cases have been call-
ed for trial and continued by the
court. Each time one of them was
called Sheriff Woofter was ready
with hla evidence, but he la not the
conrt and cannot force a trial.
Neither ia It up to him to say that
any man arrested for any crime shall
not he permitted to furnish bonds as
Wilder did when sheriff la ths case
of Dr. Holcomb of Drumrlght. The
sheriff cannot Issue Injunctions and
cannot tell the courts what to do.
Perhaps Wilder would like to tell
why. when he was sheriff, he work-
ed on Buxton and did not molest the
docena of other bootleggers and
gamblers. It might make tight Juicy
reading.
Wilder concludes his spasm with
a proposition —that he will agree
to support Woofter In case he Is
nominated If the publisher of this
paper and Woofter will agree to sup-
port Wilder, should he be the choice
of the Republican party. This prop-
osition Is based on the fact that all
three men are Republicans. The
Herald man apenks first for himself-
If by any chance of fate, and there
is no such chance, Wilder should
be the successful man at the pri-
mary we would stand the office towel
in Its corner, can the force, wind
clock, put out the cat, lock the
door, spit on our hands and look for
a job digging In the ditch before we
would suffer ourself to support Lew
Wilder.
As for Sheriff Woofter we have
no authority to speak for him but
we arc willing to bet our good right
arm that should Wilder be the nomi-
nee he would not support him. If
he did that would be putting himself
in the same class as Wilder and he
la so much ahead of him that his
name should not be mentioned the
same day.
From reports coming Into Sapulpa
Wilder appears to have three planks
In his platform. One Is that he got
shot while serving his other term
If he had been careful In the selec-
tion of hie deputies and had picked
efficient men instead of the class
he did have, the chances are this
would not have occurred and he
would not now be having to work
hla Cane to death In hla efforts to
work up a little sympathy. More
will probably be said along this
line later.
Another of hla planks fa his record
while in office, but Lew does not
push this plank around where he Is
known and that Is pretty generally
all over the county.
The third plank Is also dropped
Into the discard. It la the one In
which he says he can now enforce
the law becanse the hoys, and riff-
raff, are now In the army. TMs
plank proved a boomerang right from
the start and Lew would be glad
to have It forgotten but the folks
who have sons, brothers or friends
fighting for us—and Dw—are not
forgetting It very fait.

FoardOo Eastern Edge Of Of inside War Facts, And

Sunday Morning Nut September
•
A “bit of old Kaintuck” was dis-
covered Just °n the eastern fringe
of the city yesterday morning by
Sheriff John Woofter, Chief of Police
John Willard and Deputy Sheriff
Sam Adair in the guise of a fully
equipped moonshine whisky still. The
officers found two quarts of the
finished product and a barrel In
the process of making.
The still was located In an old
and abandoned gasoline plant and
was complete. The officers wrecked
the apparatus and took with them
the worm or coil together with
plenty of samples for evidence. There
was no one about at the time the
officers swooped down on the still
but it is understood that at least
two arrests will be made today and
possibly more.
Reports have been coming to the
sheriff for sometime that moonshine
whiskey was being made and ped-
dled in Sapulpa and this end of the
county and he has been making
every effort to locate it Just how
he went about it would make Inter
estiivt reading, but for some points
not fully cleared up yet. the whole
history of the case cannot be di-
vulged.
Hundreds of bottles and jugs were
found about the still, all ready to
be filled with the white liquid aa
soon as it could be put thru the
proper processes. The place was
cleverly concealed and unless one
knew exactly the spot where it was
located would easily have escaped
detection.
Discovery and smashing of the still
Is one of the most notable achieve-
ments of the sheriffs office since
Woofter was elected sheriff.

DR. LEO SMITH PUTS
HIS SHIN6LE OUT
Dr. Leo 8mith will hang out hla
shingle and take ove*- the office
quarters occupied by Mayor J. Wade
Bone In the Odd Fellows building
prior to the time be was elected to
office. Or. Smith Is a real 8apulpa
product and is a physician and sur-
geon.
Being a young man Smith expects
to be summoned to the colors within
a short time, but until his call
comes he will help to fill up the de-
pleted ranks of Sapulpa physicians,
who have been leaving quite reg-
ularly of late.
“I don’t know how long the war
will last, but If the Franco-A merl-
can drive continues as it has started
and our arms meet with the same
success all along the line It seems
to me we ought to have the Huns
pretty nearly whipped by a year
from now.’’
This was the welcome statement
made to a lan:e crowd of Sapulpans
who gathered In front of the War
Savings bank Saturday night to list-
en to a short war speech by Con-
gressman Tom McKeon. The repre-
sentative was whirled to Sapulpa
from Drumrlght where he had spoken
by Earl Foster and although there
was little time to give notice that
he would speak, a representative au-
dience paid careful attention to hU
every word.
McKeon contended that if America
could put or had now a million men
on the Italian fronL the way to Ber-
lin could be blazed thru Austria and
the war settled much more quickly
than by fighting It out on the west-
ern front.
Hla address was particularly illum-
inating regarding what America has
contributed to the war since she
plunged in and some of the things
planned for the future. He took up
every phase of war activities and
discussed it from first hand knowl-
edge.
At one |iOint he declared that there
are more men fighting today under
Jack Pershing In France than were
commanded by Grant and Lee in the
war of the rebellion.
He paid the highest compliments
to Genera! “Black Jack* Pershing.
He said that America's commander
on the western front bad had ex
perience In the west and In Mexico
and that he knew what was needed
on the western front to win the war.
He said that America proposes to
fight along humanitarian lines, but
that It will meet German barbarism
at every turn; that when the Ger-
mans declared that they would put
American prisoners In the vicinity of
points where munitions are supplied,
that the American reply was that
If Germany persisted In Its flight-
fulness that this nation would un-
dertake something that would outdo
the Germans at every turn.
“Oneral re-ehdbgtannlnfunlt
“General Pershing,“ he said, “sent
in a requisition for sawed-off shot-
guns. When this demand came in at
London, July 29.-—The Franco—American Troops
have advanced three miles on a twenty mile front since
Sunday noon it was learned from authoritative sources.
The allies now hold all of Rheims, Dorway Highway
and the whole north bank of the Ourcq. The Geiman
retreat contiuues from the lower end of the pocket. By
the enemy resisting desperately at Andre valley, south-
west of Rheims and Buzancv, south of Soissons, the Am-
ericans engaged in heavy fighting.
By The United Prese.
Washington, July 29.-The capture of Seringes, Et Nesles and
Roncheres by the Americans was reported by Pershing. North of
the Marne the Americans continue to pursue the enemy. In spite
of a determined effort to delay their progress by a rear guard action
crossed the Curcq and took the towns named.
DRAFT BOARD PLAYS
TRICK ON CREEK CO.
(Continued on page four.)
Draft Board No. 2, sitting at Bris-
tow, interfered with a good road
problem of Creek county when It
took Jamee Leroy Brooks, road
builder and contractor, oft the Job
and started him for France.
But what the county of Creek lost,
the highway department of the army
gained In France. Brooks la now
building highways over there and
he's boss of a gang of husky ne-
groes who are a unit of the 509th
engineers
Brooks was sent to Camp Travla
October 3, and in 14 days was made
a sergeant. In January he started
to France and he's there now put-
ting in some licks in the scrap
*;alnst the Hun.
Two brothers are in the army
They are big, brave fellows, and
will do their share to make America
safe from German Invasion.
Sergeant Brooks and hia mother
were wonderful pals—always together
and those who saw them while he
was employed on the famous Ozark
trail road through Creek county, of-
ten remarked they were more like
sweethearts than motber and son.
In a letter, Mrs. Brooks, the
mother, writes as follows:
“When the call came for soldiers,
his first thought was, mother, we
three boys must do our part.
"It waa hard at first to give them
up, but thank Ood. I wish 1 had
three more who might go, for I have
three brave boya who will do their
beet. My prayer is that they may
be spared to come back to our beau-
tiful America. May Ood blees every
boy who wears our uniform and
watch over them—Mrs. F. M Brooks.

WITH THE AMERICANS IN FRANCE, July 29.—The crown prince
is rapidly retreating toward the Crise and Veals rivers and may fall
back to the Aisne. The line la now practically straight between
Rheims and Soissons. The Aisne flows straight westward through Soia-
eon« and passing Rheims about 12 miles north.
Hard fighting by infantry, cavalry and tanks ia following the ter-
rific artillery bombardment. It haa given the allies complete pos-
session of ths lower half of the deep salient between Solaaena and the
city of Rheims.
Fcre-En-Tardenoia waa capti-rcd only after a desperate struggle ef
many hours. Bitter hand-to-hand fighting took place and the biggest
American advance since the start of.the Franco-Amsrlcan push was car-
ried out across tha Ourck rivor near Ssrgy thia morning.
Squeezing the “pocket” on the right and left while thrusting
northward In the middle, sent the Boches farther In retreat. The Ameri-
cana advanced steadily all day yesterday through a heavy rain.
The Americana are continuing to advance northward and northeast-
ward from Foro-En-Tardenois and are improving the positions captured
yesterday. Fighting continue* north of the Ourcq at asms paints,
where the Hunc were net comp.etely wiped out. Enemy artillery la
heavily bombarding Serglnaa, Neale, and Sergy.
The first counter-attack mad* against the Americana In any con-
siderable force waa staged at noon between Neale and Sergy on a front
more than two miles wide east of Fsre-En-Tardsnole and which fol-
lowed a severe bombardment of the whole line, the enemy being com-
pletely repulsed. The Boches suffered severe lessee along the whole line.
More than three hundred dead Hunt wer# found piled In a heap in
a narrow ditch. The Americans captured the footbridge across the
Orcq. guarded by machine gun* in a direct frontal att^k. Retreating
Boche* were shot down es fast at they scurried up the opposite bank.
Such towns as Bonehoret, Fresnss and Courment were completely
enveloped and pasted. Village after village fell to the Americans.
Two main points ef resistance were encountered, the first at Crete
nougo farm and the second at the Ourek. Seth were thick with
machine gun defense. Gunners maintained tholr fire as long as pos-
sible then withdrew, firing until they were wiped out. The Americans
swung forward two or three kilometers after disposing ef ene line ef
machine gun defense* and encountering ths next the fight would be re-
peated.
An intensified war of movement hat again set In with renewsd
momentum. Armored cars are being used for reoonnolterlng. When
the Americans approached the bank of ths Ourcq, they were first
held up by artillery and machine gun fire. Sharp fighting onaued.
Then our artillery came up and the resistance was wiped out.
