stated above.
The question considered by Judge
I'olbort Wednesday was as to tbe valid-
ity of tbe co-partnership agreement,
and whether or not it was in contraven-
tion of the statutes of Oklahoma. Af-
ter bearing the argument of counsel
and weighing the authorities cited, he
held that it was a valid and binding
agreement, and that J. Slaner was act-
ing within hie rights in conducting tbe
buHiness.
Tbe esse, however, has not been Con-
cluded yet. The petitioner made alio
Ration* of mismanagement, and evidence
will bi« introduced to sustain these alle-
gations, but inasmuch as Judge Tolbert
had business out of the city Thursday
tbe matter was continued until Friday,
when more testimony will be taken on
the poiutof mismanagement.
The Dixie is one of the largest de-
partment stores in southwestern Okla-
homa and one in which the public in

agreement.
A short time ago Mrs. Slaner became
dissatisfied witb the business and sought
to have a receiver appointed to wind up
tbe estate. In ber petition charges of
mismanagement were set up, but after
bearinga numberof witnesses the court
denied tbe relief sought, which in effect
means that there had been no misman-
agement.
Tbe Dixie is one of tbe largest de-
partment stores in the southwest, and
has been one of tbe most profitable.

R. F. D. No. 2, Box 40. Matthews, Oa. —
"For three years or more I was troubled
with pimples and blackhcaris. At first my
face would Itch and hum and then the
pimples would break out. They looked al-
most as If I had mcaslra, causing groat dis-
figurement. They would make my face very
rod and soro. Then they festered and c-anin
to a h«ad and large bolls would come on
my cliln and nose.
"I also had dandruff which caused my
scalp to itch and burn. It Itched and burned
so that I had to scratch It until It was Irri-
tated. The dandrutl staled off and showed
plainly In my hair. It also caused my hair
to break off and become very thin. I used
several remedies which did not euro and
gave but little relief. After I received a froo
sample of Cuticura Soap aiul Ointment I
began using them according to directions.
I secured two cakes of Cuticura Soap and
two boxes of Cuticura Ointment which
cured mo perfectly." (Signed) Miss W'illio

Hobart friends, Mrs. W. J. McCollom,
wife of the instructor in charge of the
Western Oklahoma College, a Baptist
institution at Mangum, and a prominent
and well known Baptist clergyman,
living near the North Fork of the Red
River, in this county, committed suicide
Sunday afternoon, by drinking a large
quantity of carbolic acid.
Mrs. McCollom was found by her son,
in a dying condition, soon after drinking
the poison, but she was able to tell him
what she bad done. The boy rushed
from the house, mounted a horse and
started to Granite for a dqctor. On his
way he met an automobile, the
occupants of which happened to be P,
W. Carlton and others of this city, and
told him the circumstances and implor-
ed him to rush to Granite, four miles
away, for a physician.
With all the speed possible, the
machine was rushed to the neighboring
city and a doctor secured, but Mrs. Mc
Collom died before aid cTJultl reach her,
Rev. and Mrs. W.J. McCollom have
lived on the farm near the River since
the opening of tbe country, and his
children have attended the Hobart
schools. They are widely acquainted

(From Monday's Daily.)
Mexico City, Nov. 16—From
Victoriano Huerta' own mouth United
States Charge O'Shaughnessy has re-
Oeived the pointblank refusal of the
Mexican dictator to aocede to the
demands of President Wilson that he
retire from the presidency of Mexico
As a further indication that he will not
consider such demands, Huerta Sunday
caused the resignation of Garza Adalpe
minister of the interior, who had
counseled compliance with the ex
pressed wishes of the United States.
Senor Adalpe departed from the
Mexican capital tonight for Vera Cruz
commissioned to proceed immediately
to £urope. With him on the train are
200 soldiers. It was announced that his
destination was France.
The rumor was current in the capital
today that Charge D'Affaires O'-
Shaughnessy had been recalled, but
this tbe American embassy has denied.
O'Shaughnessy communicated tbe
refusal of Huerta to resign to Washing
ton and it is understood he has received
a cablegram giving him further instruc
tions, but he declines to discuss the
question.
Sanor Adalpe was the last remaining
cabinet officer retained by General
Huerta and General Felix Diaz at the
close of the battle in the capital last
February,
Washington Aroused
Washington, Nov. 16.—Secretary-
Bryan conferred at the Wftite House to
night with President Wilson on the
latest developments in the Mexican sit
uation. They talked over messages re-
ceived from Charge O'Shaughnessy and
dispatched some cablegrams to him af
ter the conference.
'We are not prepered to make any an
nouncements," said Mr. Bryan after<
waidk
The official messages confirmed press
reports of the forced resignation of Min
later Manuel Garza Adalpe, who was en-
deavoring to persuade General Huerta
to resign. To official Washington this
emphasizes the difficulty of those who
were seeking to counsel Huerta to avert
complications with the United States
However, the confidence that Huerta
will have to yield is unshaken.
The prospect that the embargo on
arms may be lifted during the coming
week constitutionalists representatives
here say has brightened considerably
And they are eagerly preparing to buy-
large quantities of arms fur quick ship-
ment to tbe border.
President Wilson andSecretary Bryan
still hope, though, that Huerta will
come to terms without the necessity of
such measures as lifting the embargo,
and it is likely that the American gov-
ernment will wait a few days for the ef-
fect of foreign pressure before making
any decisive move forward in its policy
WARD
RETURNS TO CALIFORNIA
J. A. Ward, the oil promotor, left
Sunday evening for his home in Fresno,.
California, where be will remain until
after the holidays, when he and Mrs.
Ward will return to Hobart to remain
indefinitely.
In the mean time active development
work on his properties will be continued
by his drilling crew, consisting of
Moore, Reycolds and Simpson, the lat-
ter now being in Texas, to «Qcure a new
drilling rig, with which to continue tbe
work.
SCHOOL HEAD MAY BE REMOVED
Oklahoma City Nov. 13.—President
J. H. Connell, of the agricultural and
Mechanical college at Stillwater, prob-
ably will be removed by the new state
board of agriculture, it was learned
Tuesday. Alleged unsatisfactory condi-
tions at the Stillwater school, viewed
first hand by the entire board last week,
are expected to be the basis of a gener-
al reorganization at the institution.
Three members favor the dismissal of
the president.
