MORE MONEY
NEEDED TO HELP
POOS FAMILIES
Milk and Ice Fund Nearly Ex-
hausted—Help the Babies
and Women
Rally to Swbet Charity's cause!
More money is needed for the milk
and ice fund for the poor women,
babies and children of Drumright.
The money raised by the Rotary
and Lions clubs through the Evening
Derrick ut th' beginning of the hot
season has been nearly used up, and
the fund will soon he exhausted at
the present rate. Milk and ice have
been furnished to a score of needy
families every day, and the lives of
little tots have doubtless been saved
by the helping hand of those who con-
tributed to the fund.
But tha hot season is not over. Un-
less more money is raised, there will
be suffering by the poor families who
are not able to provide the necessi-
ties of life for themselves.
Send your contribution to the Even-
ing Derrick and thsi paper will glad-
ly acknowledge its receipt.

Inquiry is made as to what
lodges, churches, or other or-

anything, he is told that the local
organizations all welcome new-

be glad to have him come in.
It would be a fine scheme if
every stranger who moves into
Drumright could be met in some
such way. it would be a pleasing
idea to present eai ii newcomer

the city presents, with a list of

sympathy with, also to ally himself

EASTERN STARS HAVE GOOD
EATS AT PICNIC
A regular old fashioned picnic had
been planned by the Eastern Stars for
yesterday afternoon, but the threats
of Jupiter Pluvius put a stop to it to
a certain extent. After the lunch and
entertainment had been carried to
the grove near th% ball park, the
threatening storm and the few drops
of rain made the picnickers scamper
to shelter.
The "eats'" were brought to the Odd
Fellows hall where tho spread was
set, and everyone got good fill of

to bring it indoors.

Yes Si, and it seems that the chron-
ic knockers would finally get hep to
the fact that even- knock is a tap on
the door of personal oblivion for them.
"So when we got to Brown creek
1 had my revolver in my lap. all ready.
Just after we crossed the bridge some
fellow stepped up near the car and said
something like "halt!" I saw that ho
had a revolver in his hand and I threw
my gun up quick and took a crack at
him.
Man Fell Back
"I just got to see him sort of
throw his head to one side. The fellow
with me 'stepped on it' about that time
and we flew up the hill. I wouldn't
say for sure I hit the fellow, or
whether he just dodged as a fellow
naturally would when shot at.
"People at Stanleyville, said our
car was the last to leave tbero going
west before those that had been held
up came back to report it. I didn't say
anything about this at first, because
I don't care anything about the
< redit for shooting anybody, but they
kept telling mo I ought to come in and
report it to the sheriff and so I final-
ly did."
Buckliart said taht he fired one
shot at the man. Seme of those who
saw the ^hooting of Adair say two
shots were fired and others declare
that at least three were heard.
Bandit Buried
Funeral services for Adair will be
held at U o'clock Wednesday evening
at the Sapulpa cemetery, where the
body will be taken from the Buffing-
ten Bros., undertaking parlors. The
father, who arrived Wednesday night
from Granite, decided to have the
funeral and burial there.
