A LARGE STILL-
WAS CAPTURED
HEAR MILLERTOH
WEDNESDAY BY DEPUTY SHER-
IFF WILLIE FOWLER— MEN
MADE ESCAPE
' One of tbe largest stills captured in
McCurtain county for some time was
taken Wednesday afternoon two miles
northwest of Milierton by deputy
she iff Willie Fowler and brought to
Idabel Thursday Tha plant was fired
and ready for a run with 60 gallons
of mash on hand when Fowler ap-
peared on the scene and stopped the
operations destroyed the mash gnd
took away the still
Two or three men were at the still
when Fowler came in sight of it but
they saw him coming and got away
before he could get close enough to
stop them as they had the advantage
of "seeing him come over -the hill
above and while he was scrambling
through tha underbrush down the side
abreast of tbe total vote east in the ’of th hiU theY nd their escape ac-
cording to the statement of Fowler
Fowler wa alone when he located
this still and started after it and it
is very probable that if he had the
assistance of another officer it would
have been easy to take the men along
with the still
CIIADIERS OF COM-
MERCE AL0’G A
& A DIVISION
OF FRISCO HAVE STARTED A
MOVE TO HAVE PASSENGER
SERVICE REINSTATED
gubernatorial contest Should it re-
tain both the ratio of votea to the
precinct and relative majority of fa-
vorable votea now prevailing the
measure baa a good chance to carry
At 6 o'clock Thursday night tabu-
lations from 1455 precincts gave for
the bonus 103184 against the bonus
94400 The ' ' amendment has been
cairying an average of 171 votea to
the precinct while 2596 precincts on
governor show a 169 average To
win the bonus must carry a majority
of the total vote cast and to date it
has been holding its position without
trouble
Fevered ia Ceaatry
As had been predicted the amend- j
ment ia showing increasing favor in
the returns from country precincts
early votes tabulated from city re-
turns showing the proposal running
slightly behind Should interest pre-
vail and should the margin pf favor-
able vote be increased in outlying
precincts where non-taxpayers are in'
majority it is reasonable to assume
that the lead for the amendment will 1
be increased rather than lessened at
the returns come in '
Opponents of the bonus bill had
based their hopes for its defeat upon
the “silent vote" it having been pre-'
dieted that thousands of elector
would not express themselves one
way or the other thus insuring its
failure through the light vote which
might be cast upon it This assump-1
tion has not been verified on the face '
of tabulated returns and with almost j
half of the precincts reporting the 1
amendment still going strong not on
ly bolding 'its own along with the
governorship but showing a margin
to the good as well
“You gave us a good licking and ij
am here to congratuate you! When:
we won out in 1920 Ed you were the i
first man to come in and wish usj
well 1 want to show you that I am 1
aa good a sport now as you were
then"
That was the stbtement of James
A Harris republican national com-
it teems n as h strode into the pri-
vate office of Ed M Semens demo-
cratic state chairman Thursday aft-
ernoon sad grasped the hand of the
leader of Oklahoma’s deasocraey
Harris left shortly thereafter for his
home at Wagoner
A head line says “Jazz Music has
passed in America" only when Jack
Walton runs for office they should
have added
‘ A move has been started by the dif-
ferent chambers of commerce along
the A and A division of tho Frisco -railroad
to have tha two passenger
trains which were removed during
the recent strike reinstated on tho
old schedule and unless the service 1
again continued at the requests al-
ready pent in to the corporation com-
mission there will be a meeting call-
ed at Ardmore some time in the near
future for the purpose of asking tha
company to take steps to reinstate
these trains '
The move was started when R M
DeWitt secretary of -the- Mabel-
Chamber ef Commerce form elated a ’
petition to the corpora tiow ‘TOnmria-
sion complaining against the service
as it now is and was also instrumen-
tal in getting other towns along the
line to send in protests -
The meeting if called will be held
in Ardmore and efforts are being
made to have Art Walker of the cor-
poration commission present for the
discussion-' Towns along the route
expected to bo represented include
Boswell Hugo Madill Durant Val-
liant and Idabel each one of which
will be represented by their respec-
tive chamber of commrece
taries
