lege. A more detailed account of his
analysis will be found elsewhere in

More than 20 pints of whisky were
found in the possession of Claude
Byrum of Yale when he was arrested
in Stillwater Saturday night by Chief
M. J. Ketch and Police Officer C. G.
Perkey. It is believed that he first
will face charges in municipal court
and will be retained by the county
later.
County officers, it is said, long
have sought to capture Byrum with
sufficient evidence for conviction, it
being their suspicion that he
handling intoxicants.
The confidence that the surrounding commun-
ity has shown in helping to make the Stillwater
Sales Day a real asset to our community exem-
plifies the same confidence that the people of
the nation are showing in backing our presi-
dent, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Attempt of Joe Martin to have his
sentence . to death in the electric chair
changed to life imprisonment failed
in the criminal court of appeals last
week. Martin was sentenced to die by
District Judge John S. Burger, of
Noble county, for the murder of Pete
Van Nearop.
Martin was arrested by Payne
county officers shortly after the mur-
der of the Hollander, whom he at-
tempted to hide in the cellar of an
abandoned oil well near Leia. Since
the crime was committed in Noble
county, he was turned over to that
county for prosecution.
The state court Friday upheld the
trial court decision, sentencing Mar-
tin to die May 5.
In writing the affirming opinion
the court’s instrument was:
“It appears thus from the record
that the defendant is guilty of an ag-
gravated case of murder for the pur-
pose of robbery, and that the trial
court was very careful to see that
every constitutional and statutory
right was granted to him.
“The court is to be commended for
the manner in which he conducted the
hearing and the effort he made to
see that the defendant received all of
his constitutional and statutory
rights.
“There is nothing in the record to
indicate any abuse of discretion upon
the part of the court. But, on the
other hand, it appears that the court
gave due consideration to all the mat-
ters that had previously been pre-
sented, and properly reached the con-
clusion that the application should be
denied.”
Charges of larceny by fraud are,
being prepared by Guy L. Horton,
county attorney, to be filed against
Robert Salmons and Homer Johnson,
who are in tne Payne county jail
awaiting arraignment. Salmons and
Johnson were brought from Wichita.
Kan., Tuesday night by Under-Sher-
ifl Tillman Bocock to face trial. A
third man, V. W. Wilson, also is be-
ing sought by officers to lace a like
charge.
The men are alleged to be officers
in the Southern Loan Service asso-
ciation, operating in this state.
Horton alleges that the Southern
Loan association has taken advan-
tage of needy persons desiring loans
and have collected fees for services
the association did not perform. A
number of county men are said to
have been victims of their deals.
The association follows the prac-
tice of inserting advertisements in
newspapers reading: “Need a Ioan?
Place your application for straight
loan on farm or city property with
the Southwest Loan Service asso-
ciation, P. 0. Box 1134, Wichita,
Kansas.”
Persons needing loans received no-
tification that a representative of the
company would make a personal cad
on the nrospective client within a
week.
The general procedure, Horton al-
leges, was for the prospect to fill out
an application for a loan, listing the
security. The association is alleged
to have claimed contacts with firms
and private individuals desiring to
loan money in good security. For
bringing the borrower and lender to-
gether the association collected a
fee, payable in advance, with the
promise that the loan would be made
within a short time.
After the fee is collected, the as-
sociation did not try to arrange a
loan, it is said, and insistence on the
part of the prospective borrower only
brought notice that the association
still was attempting to convince the
lender he should make the loan. No
loans were completed in the county,
Horton believes.
A committee composed of H. Clay
Potts, C. A. Hillerman, Willis F. Al-
len, Dave Stone and Joe Hastings,
was named by President Otis Dowell
to plan a series of programs for the
next six months. Another duty of the
the committee will be to enlarge the
membership of the club and promote
a better-attendance contest.

FARMERS’ SCALES
You may now weigh your wagons
or trucks on the same scales that you
have been using for years.
The old Spurrier scales that most
of the farmers have been using for
the past several years, have been
moved to the Thompson-Parker Lum-
ber company, where you may be as-
sured of someone to weigh your loads
for you. The purchase and moving of
these scales was prompted by the
many farmers expressing the desire
to use them, because of their accu-
racy and sure weight.

bership in the club, and, in closing, J

Allowances to Poor to
Be Discontinued in May
County residents who have been
receiving allowances from commis-
sioners may be forced to find other
means for subsistence, that board
warned Tuesday. In a lengthy reso-
lution the commissioners announced
that allowance would have to be dis-
continued during May and June. The
resolution follows: — • -
'• “Whereas, it is evident that the ap-
propriation of Payne county for the
poor is insufficient to provide con
tinued allowance for the entire fiscal
yGar; ihd, ;---
• “Whereas, the needs and requests
for help have been so numerous, al-
though we have used the utmost care
in distributing said money, and due
to the large number of people in dis-
tress, we have been forced to reduce
the amount allowed to each party.
“Be it resolved by the board of
county commissioners that the allow-
ance for the poor for May and June
be discontinued as said appropriation
now practically is exhausted and will
not be sufficient to pay warrants
that might be issued for said months.

HER BINE
CORRECTS CONSTIPATION
A revamped Cowboy wrestling
squad will tangle with Oklahoma
university at the local gymnaisuin
Friday night. But this time the cham-
pions hope for a decisive victory.
Early in the season a meet at Nor-
man resulted in a tie.
Captain Andy Hesser lost his place
on the team to Rex Peery, local boy,
in pre-match tryouts last week.
Hesser decisioned his opponent in
the Norman meet. Ross Flood, who
lost to his Norman opponent, has
been reduced to the 125-pound weight
division to insure at least three
points for the Cowboys.
Sam Barnes, whose grades have
prevented him from wrestling this
year, became eligible in time for the
Sooner meet and will handle the 135-
pound weight division. Barnes may
meet Sisney, former Geary star, who
defeated Flood in the early meet.
Sisney normally wrestles at the 145-
pound division, but may be reduced
by his coach to avoid a meet with
Alan Kelly, whose defeat appears
impossible. Barnes’ opportunity to
add points to the Cowboy score is far
from positive, it is believed.
• Whoever opposes Kelly in the 145-
pound division from the Sooner
school may depend on staring at the
gymnasium lights a major part of
the match, observers predict. Kelly
is rated as one of the best wrestlers
in the long line of champions turned
out by Ed Gallagher, the Old Master.
Frank Lewis, former Cushing star,
cannot be termed a “cinch” for the
Cowboys in the 155-pound division,
where he will meet Gunter, pride of
the Sooner school. Although Paul
Keen, his coach, termed Gunter the
best 155-pounder in the nation, the
lad found going rather rough at an
eastern intercollegiate match in the
east recently, where his shoulders
were pinned to the mat in the first
round by an Iowa State grappler.
Gunter holds a decision over Lewis.
Phil Merriman is expected to con-
test for the Cowboys in the 165-
pound class, since Tom Cunningham,
regular at this division, suffered a
broken ankle in pre-match tryouts.
Merriman is likely to meet Foreman.
Gordon Dupree’s chances to win
the 175-pound division were dimmed
by the announcement that Bashara,
Norman heavyweight, is coming
down to that class. The Sooner’.s
brawn offsets his lack of knowledge
of the wrestling game, to make him
a formidable foe.
It is likely that Collins or Oring-
derf will try for the Cowboys in the
heavy division. Oringderf, although
physically capable and well schooled,
has not the experience to be a threat
in the heavy class. Collins has had
some experience, but has not been in
training this year.

Poultryman Is Honored
Announcement of the election of
R. B. (Chicken) Thompson as an hon-
orary member of American Poultry

tute." Thompson is head of the Okla-
homa A. and M. college poultry de-
partment.

A new trial proved of little benefit i
to Earl Quinn, once convicted and j
sentenced to die for the murder of
Jessie and Zexia Griffith, Blackwell
school teachers. In a second trial at
Enid he was found guilty anti the
first sentence repeated. His appeal
for a new trial was granted on the
grounds that he should have been
tried in a county other than Kay,
where the crime was committed, be-
cause of local prejudice.
Eight farmers were on the jury
returning the guilty verdict at Enid
Tuesday morning after less than two
hours of deliberation.
The guilty man appeared stunned
at the jury's recommendation of
death, and was crying as officers re-
turned him to his cell. He was confi-
dent throughout the trial that
alibi was sufficiently strong to
feat the circumstantial evidence
state presented.
