YOUR PATTENT MISSING?
Do you know the pat-
ent to your land is ten-
fold more important
than the deed you claim
under?
Limitations run
against individuals, but.
not against Uncle Sam.
That's how it comes
that cases are not infre-
quent of a man living on
and cultivating a farm
for ten, twenty, or thirty
years and waking up
some morning to find he
has no title,
Many patents are mis-
sing from the County
Records of this county.
You can never know
the true condition of
your own land without
investigating. An ab-
stract tells it all.

| Patterson Arrested
j Billy Patterson who is now
serving as trustee of Bessie town
ship was arrested Thrusday
evening charged with aiding and
abetting in stealing some cattle
Several weeks ago Kid Cochran
was arrested charged with steal-
ing some cattle, three head we
believe, from Carry Murdock
He claimed he then sold them to
Patterson. He was unable to
make bond and it looks very
much as if this move was one in
self defense by getting someone
else to share the trial with him.
When Cochran sold the cattle
to Patterson he was going to or
had been working some land be-
longing to the latter who sup-
posed the stock belonged to his
renter.
Thai Agreement
J. M. Armfield in the issue of
the Beacon last week throws
some light on the argument he
offered to make with the couniy
commissioners in order that the
county's credit might be kept at
par.
After assuring the public of
loving kindness for the commis-
sioners and all the rest of the
world, that he was a banker and
not a politician and so forth and
etcetra. He says he made the
commissioners the following
proposition.

Gipsy Wheat
C. P. Cantwell living near the
Star school house brought to
our office several heads of what
is known as Gipsy or Jerusalem
wheat which looks as if it might
be a great feed crop. He plant-
ed thirteen hills last year from
which he harvested sixty pounds
of seed, and last spring planted
abort three acres and says it
has stood the adverse conditions
this year in excellent shape. It
is very productive and Mr. Can-
twell believes that in a good year
it would produce at least 100
bushels of seed to th^ acre.

H. C. DORNEY, Mgr
County Oklahoma.
In order to keep the credit of
our county up to the high stand-
ard hei etofore maintained, we
suomit the following proposition
We will furnish legal bonded
County Depositories, pay the
present rate of interest received
by the county, and cash all legal
county warrants at par drawn
by the county commissioners on
the county treasurer.
Provided: The county treasur-
er will keep all available funds
held by him as county treasurer
in said county depositories.
The Cordell National Bank*,
By J. M. Armfield,
President.
Now that proposition is good
and we believe any person in
Washita county acquainted with
J. M Armfitld will back us up in
saying that Mr. Armfield would
have carried out the proposition
to the letter had it been accepted,
except possibly the board of
county commissioners who evi-
dently believed other wise as
they accepted a proposition
made by the State National to
keep all warrants at par except
those drtyjai on the bridge and
supply funds.
Why did the commissioners
refuse to accept Mr. Armfield's
proposition if they did not have
suspicion that he was bluffing
and playing to the gallery for
advertising purposes.
Here is the way the citizens
are * getting justice under the
proDosition the county commis-
sioners accepted. Peter Lornc-z
furnished feed for the mules
and was given a warrant for
$219 which the State National
offered to cash for six per cent,
discount, $13.14 off. That does
not speak well for the credit of
the county and very poorly for
the ^business judgment of the
men who are acting as county,
commissioners.
Would they have made such a
contract had they been doing
buniness for themselves. Don't
