coin are now in the toils of the
law the officers believe Jinks

Deputy Sheriff Ed Maloney Sun
lay at Mori is Two other men
said to oe members of the gang
George B Thompson and Rich-
ard Reynolds are now in the
county jail at Tulsa
The bank robbery at Darda-
nelle was very dating The bah
dits worked over the safe almost
two hours and twelve different
explosions were heard by the
citizens of the town shortly after
1 o’clock Several men of the
town armed themselves with
Winchesters and attempted to
capture the robbers but they
were held at bay by four of the
masked bandits while the other
two completed tne opening of
the inner door of the safe and
then all six made their escape
after a running light
Tne foregoing is taken from
Tuesday ’s Phoenix which con
tains the further statement that
Sheriff Bud Led better and Depu-
ty Ed Maloney on Sunday morn-
ing at Morris Okla arrested
theSiarling brothers and Barton
the two brothers having bought
out a restaurant there a few
da s lief ore The ti io were tak
en to Muskogee Sunday and on
Monday night were cariied to
McAlester wheie they await
extradition papers
The Starling boys are well
known here and are sons of
Rev W A Starling of West
Coweta
Two Contests
The cotton and corn contests
for boys as arranged by the
Dickason-Goodman Company
and which was decided Thurs
day Oct 16 proved to be a
marked success and an affair of
deep interest to the two score or
more lads who participated and
also was not without interest to
the friends of the young agri
culturists
There were foi ty odd entries
but the disagreeable weather on
Hie day of contest prevented a
number of exhibits getting into
place As it was however
there were 17 exhibits of corn
and 20 of cotton on display
In the corn contest the first
prize a $2700 bicycle was won
by Dennis Clay
Second prize $1000 in gold
went to Irving Wilboite
In the cotton contest the first
prize a $25 00 saddle was won
by Fred Warfield
Second prize $1000 in gold
went to W m F Bernard
The seventeen exhibits of corn
were said to be marvelously fine
indicating much more excellent
grain than was expected to be
seen
“And the Worst Is to Come’'
On Monday morning while the
thermometer registered only as
low as 36 degrees still theie was
reported to have been seen here
at 6:30 a m a slight foimation
of spangles of ice Yet there
was no frost found owing to a
windy condition and a partial
cloudiiie&s '
ACQUITTED
Malicious Assault Justly
Rebuked
Mr E E Lewis Cashier of
th National Bnkof Commerce
of Coweta Okla yrho was in
dieted for embezzlement by the
late grand jury was found “not
guilty’’ by the jury in the dis
trict court at Wagoner Friday
the 17th inst
The facts disclosed by the evi-
dence weie that a clerical error
had been made in posting the
amount alleged to have been
embezzled and as soon as dis
covered and demand made for
the money the full amount was
paid immediately and the inci-
dent was supposed to have be n
closed by all parties directly con-
cerned But a malicious clique of vie
ious degenerates and moral cow-
ards thinking they had a chance
to get Lewis’ "goat” and not
having the manhood and cour
age to come out and fight him
in the open took advantage of
the coward’s retreat viz: The
Grand Jury— that relic of the
“dark ages” and “communistic
days” That same exalted (?)
body that indicted Our Savior—
(See Matt 26 3-4) and caused
his indictment for a crime that
they had every reason to know
he had not committed
Unfortunately in cases of this
kind theie is no wav to bring
such creatures who are a men
ace to decentsociety to account
but if there is any truth in the
Bible they will be taken care of
as lecoided in Romans 12-19

Oil Matters
On Tuesday O A Giger took
a trip to Tulsa on a mission of
oil matters One noticeable re
suits was that yesterday things
began to take on new activity at
tne Haynie well adjoining the
Giger property This well is to
go down at least 160 feet more
below the 1200 feet depth new
reached The need now is for
cas(pg which is being hauled by
wagon 8 from across the Arkan
sas near Bixby The drilling
being done by Chase and others
and backed by local people is to
be resumed today or tomorrow
The well between here and
Broken Arrow is variously re-
ported at from 100 to 600 but
while these are gu sses there is
no doubt of the well being a
valuable one
At Broken Arrow — The N o-
lo Oil Co south of town i i 2-18-14
was 6 feet in the sa and
put 90 barrels in the tan - i 12
hours Ti esday The well as to
be drilled deeper yester y for

The Fair
The Fourth Annual Wagoner
County Farmer’s Institute Fair
waB held at Coweta Oct 16 17
aud 18 and was’ notwithstand-
ing the bad weather and other
handicaps in many phases of
the matter a distinct success
As the first day wan one of
almost incessant rain the attend-
ance was small and sdme exhi-
bits were delayed or prevented
entirely from entry which would
have otherwise swelled the vol-
ume of exhibits and increased
the excellence of the exhibition
But as it was the poultry de-
partment with its two dozen
exhibits and about 160 birds was
a revelation as to fine modern
breeds of chickens of superb
appearaned and pure blood and
the exhibit taken as a whole
was not only a credit to the
poultry fanciers of this county
(who managed under adverse
circumstances to get their exhi-
bits in place) but was actually
superior to some exnibitions of
the poultry department in many
a state fair in other states that
many people out here have wit
nessed with satisfaction and
commendation in other days
The corn exhibit with its va
riety extent and excellence was
even more of a pleasing and re
assuring revelation than that
presented by the fowls The
flinty grain the large perfectly
formed ears the faultless color
and true types of this depart-
ment created in the mind of the
onlooker who heard so much of
drouth not long since an irre-
pressible desire to ask where
was all that corn shipped in here
iomt
In the poultry exhibits the
following won awards:
