ENTERTAINED s."s. CLASS
WITH VALENTINE PARTY
The town of Foyil had some excite-
ment at 3 o'clock Wednesday morn-
ing when two men were found burg-
larizing Holeman's general store.
Bill Holeman, the owner, was alarm-
ed at his residence near the store and
gathering a number of neighbors, the
store was surrounded, the citizens
being armed with shot guns. It was
seen that there were thieves inside but
they did not come out at the command.
While the posse kept the store sur-
rounded a message was sent to Sheriff
Green; In company with Gene Haver
field the sheriff went to Foyil and en
tered the store. Two men were found
inside. They gave their names as
John Friend, age 18, and W. W. Wick-
Jam age 19, claiming their home to
be Indianapolis, Ind. They were
traveling in an almost new Ford tour-
ing car which they claimed to have
bought at Indianapolis. Apparently
they were interrupted before they
had an opportunity to take anything,
they had gained entrance by cutting a
panel from a door. They were brought
to the county jail here.

MIM6ER FORM
Following a discussion of the Com-
mission Form of government vs the
Manager Form of Government at the I
Lion Club luncheon Tuesday noon at j
the Mason Hotel, the Club passed a1
resolution unanimously endorsing the
adoption of the Commission-Manager
form in Claremore and commending
the City Council on its recent action
in instructing the City Attorney to
prepare a resolution, providing for
the election of two freeholders from
each ward at the general election,
whose duty it will be to draft a char-
ter for Claremore.
John Q. Adams, A. W. Bewers, F.
Y. O'Bannon and D. Esco Walker
spoke. Each favored the Manager
Form with the possible exception of
F. Y. O'Bannon, who said he was open
to conviction, and that he believed
the success of the Manager form
largely depends on the manager se-
lected.
G. D. Davis made a suggestion that
at a future meeting of the club any
Idon who did not favor the Manager
form should be given an opportunity
to air hia views. This will probably
be done.
