LITIGATION
OVER OIL
Hollis Attorney Goes to Oil I our-
try to Wrestle With Legal Prcb-
lem—Citizen of Hollis Intereilcd
in Large Oil Tract.
Attorney A. M. Stewart left
Tuesday for Jefferson, Texas,
where he goes to look after the
interests of S. A, Bauguss who
has some litigation on his hands
regarding some oil lands. Thefe
oil lands were the property of
Bauguss' father who died in Bau-
guss' infancy. Young Bauguss
wandered away and forgot all
about the land, it being in those
days of small monetary value.
But when oil was discovered in
that se:tion of the country Bau-
guss became interested aid in-
vestigated, findi k that a good
oil weU was brought in within a
distance of half a mi e of the
Bauguss lurds. A relation of
Ba.iguss was ?n posse? >■ ion of the
l.ind and l.'ti ■ati n has resulted.
Those v.'h'i re "ionize the value
of Mr. Sre^.vt's savers f jc 1
sure that Bau *;us i will come out
winner when the adjustment
comes about.

fa fields and most all of them are
but two and three years old, yet
they have been so successful
that the same men are planting
more to that forage plant this
year. In a few years Harmon
county will reap a rich harvest
from alfalfa and hogs, for alfal-
fa and hogs are a comb:nation
that spells m-o-n-e-y every time
it is rightly combined.
Fruit can be raised in Harmon
county also very successfully.
On the farms of G. W. Holleman
southwest of town we found
peach trees nineteen years old
and still bearing well. Also on
this farm were walnut trees 18
years old, all planted by Mr. Hol-
leman when first hesettled there.
On another visit to Sandy com-
munity we found both'fruit and
shade trees a plenty, especially
at the home of Guy Smith. At
this place we noted cottonwood
trees only five years old that
were thirty feet high. When

Mrs. T. E. Savage, two miles
northwest of Sandy we had far
views; of both Madge and Vinson,
afar flung range of vision.
To the farmers of Harmon
county we would say, plant more
trees, and plant them where they
will more alfalfa and
more hogs. These things will
inevitably lead to a more pros-
perous and more beautiful Har-
mon.

Man Who Received Wounds From
Knife in Hi nds of Dr. C. C. An
derson, ot Gould, Tells His Side
of the Affair.
Editor Tribune Please al-
low me space in the Tribune to
state my side of the cutting affray
which occurred in Gould on the
night of April 1st. At the out-
set I make the statement that
my version of the affair can be
sustained by competent and sat-
isfactory evidence, yet I have no
disposition to impugn the mo-
tives of anyone who might have
given you your information up-
on which you based your re-
marks in last issue, I can read-
ily see how men can be mistaken
I on matters of this nature. The
facts in the case are these: About
7:30 of the evening on which the
affray occurred I in company
with three other gentlemen drove
up in front of the drug store.
Myself and two others had alight
ed from the surrey when Dr. An-
derson cranked his automobile
when immediately my mules
started to run. I then cried out
using profane language. Imme-
diately Anderson approached me
and inquired, "What was that
you said." At the same time he
cut me over the abdomen. I did
not have my knife in my hands
at that time and did not take my
knife from m; f«- '-\.c until I had
entered the drug store, when I
thought such a course necessary
to protect myself. I did not con-

the time comes that the people
of the sanely lands set hedges
around their farms, trees that
grow heavy, the' protection will
have been provided which will
save them their crops in windy
weather, h. W. Morris told us
that his crop was blown away
last spring entire and that after
June 12th he had to plant over
all his crop anew, and he is firm
in the belief that he could have
saved it all with the hedges as
outlined above.
And Harmon county is not
lacking in natural beauty, as con-
sidered from another standpoint
than that of practical value.
