Catches and Loses Thief.
The days of the cattle rustler
the horse thief are not en-
tirely a thing of the past.
A few days ago a horse was
stolen out of a pasture near
'Gainesville, and the sheriff of
'that county sent out cards far
and near calling attention to the
I steal. One of the cards fell into
ithe hands of Constable John
Large, down at Savoy, upon
; which it was stated that a reward
of one hundred dollars was of-
fered for the thief, and the con-
stable was duly impressed.
Yesterday afternoon Constable
Large espied a horse and rider in
Savoy that fitted the description,
so the officer engaged the young
man in conversation, endeavoring
to swap horses. However, the
young man refused to trade, giv-
ing some veiled reason. At this
juncture it is reported that the
services of officer Large were
needed to quell a riot between a
couple of darkeys, who had de-
cided that the presence of each
other was a blot upon the face of
Savoy landscape, and at once
proceeded right diligently at ex-
termination. On quelling the
ruction, officer Large's attention
was again called to a diminutive
revolution which had sprung up
between three Caucasians, who
sought to establish certain points
relative to the pending prohibi-
tion issue. In the meantime, the
principal figure in the picture had
quietly withdrawn himself, horse
and all, from the scene of trouble,
heading in the direction of Bon-
ham.
After settling local disturb-
ances, officer Large requisitioned
the automobile of W. J. Morrow,
of Paris, who happened to be on
the spot, and, in company with
0. C. West, started in pursuit of
the thief, who was overtaken be-
tween this city and Ector. The
prisoner was placed in the car
with Mr. West, Constable Large
taking charge of the horse, and
the parties headed for Bonham.
After the officer had been left
considerably in the rear by the
faster speed of the car, the pris
oner made a break for liberty
He jumped out of the car, but
was thrown to the ground, partly
stunned. Mr. West, in attempt-
ing to follow, broke his leg, and
while Mr. Morrow was assisting
the injured man, the prisoner,
who was apparently hurt, made
his getaway.
Sheriff Leeman was notified of
the escape and spent the biggest
portion of last night hunting for
the man, but up to press hour
this afternoon, he had not been
captured.-Bonham, Texas, Fav-
orite.
TRIPLE OUT UNASSISTED.
Sixth Feat of Kind in History
of Baseball by Player
on Pacific Co^st.
Los Angeles, Cal., July 20.—
Walter Carlisle, center fielder of
the Vernon club of the Coast
League, yesterday made the
sixth unassisted triple play re-
corded in organized baseball,
against the Los Angeles team in
game won by Vernon, 5 to 4.
In the sixth inning, with the
score tied, Moore and Metzer, of
Los Angeles, walked. Pitcher
Carson, of Vernon, was replaced
by Stewart. Akin, third baseman
for Los Angeles, hit low over sec-
ond base for what looked like a
clean single. Moore and Metz-
ger both got off on a hit and run
signal, but Carlisle, playing close
in, came forward like a flash and
picked the ball off his shoe top.
His momentum carried him off
his feet, and when he recovered,
both runners, counting Akin's
drive a sure safety, had passed
the second station. Carlisle rac;
ed to second and touched the bag
while Moore was well on the way
to the plate, then trotted to first,
retiring Metzger. The unassist-
ed triple plays on record are:
Paul Hines, of Providence, at
Providence, 1977; Harry O'Hagan
of Rochester, at Jersey City,
1902; Larry Schafley, of Port-
land, Ore., 1904; Murch, of Man-
chester, at New Bedford, 1906;
Newball, at Cleveland, 1909, and
Walter Carlisle, of Vernon,atLos
Angeles, 1911.
Little Elk Up.
Pleasant Grove Items.
Well, we are all rejoicing over
the fine rain of last Wednesday
night, although some of us are
complaining about the damage
done to the fences. It washed
down quite a lot of fence in our
neighborhood.
Bro. Doniga, the Christian Un-
ion preacher, began a protracted
meeting at this place Sunday.
Tom Saunders and family visit-
ed his father-in-law, Henry Cor-
bin, of Retrop, Sunday.
Mr. Pitt and wife visited
friends at Lone Wolf Saturday
and Sunday.
The children of W. E. McKee
are reported as improving nicely,
Mrs. Brashears visited Mrs.
McKee Wednesday evening of
last week.
Two of Frank Mullins' broth-
er's have been visiting him the
past week.
W. P. Brashears and family
spent Sunday with friends in
Sentinel.
Marvin Stephens has bought a
buggy and was driving around in
it Sunday evening, going toward
Sentinel. Wonder what the at-
traction was. Faber.
On August first, I will open
the Commercial Hotel, on Third
street, and conduct a first-class
house, in every respect. -G. W.
Tarkington. 7-21,2tP
We are informed that Little
Elk is now almost bank full, and
soon we will have water and to
spare coming down the flow line.
But this should not have a ten-
dency to stop the council in their
determination to drill for artesian
water, for the time will again
come when we will need more wa-
ter than we will have.
With plenty of water, we can
invite manufacturers to our town
and know they will not be handi-
capped because of a lack of wa-
ter. —Hobart Republican.
It is to be hoped that Hobart
will get the water. However,
the Hobart paper has got us be-
fuddled on the names of these
Elk creeks. It refers to the creek
running east of Sentinel as East
Elk. Knowing this to be differ-
ent to what we were taught when
we came here, we asked a half
dozen citizens who have lived
here for a dozen years and less,
the names of these several creeks,
They all agreed that the creek
between here and Rocky, what
the Hobart paper calls the Little
Elk, is East Elk. The little creek
in the west part of town they call
Dry Elk. On further is one they
call Trail Elk. It is several miles
west of town. The large creek
southwest of town is Big Elk.
Every one agrees to that. Until
we get better authority, we shall
call these creeks by these names
when speaking of them in the
Leader. It is pretty certain that
the Indians named the creeks.
Notice.
In the matter of the application
of W. L. Bradfield for the ac-
quisition of rights to the bene-
ficial use of the waters from

Mr. and Mrs. Fly.
Of course you want the best
that is going and of course you
know that no goods that are
perishable can be kept best if
they are not refrigerated. We
have the best make of refriger-
ator and such things as fine
meats, vegetables, etc., are kept
in there at freezing temperature.
Mr. and Mrs. Fly cannot get in,
either. That is a big point. You
know they carry more disease
than any other agent. If you
get your goods out of our large
refrigerator, you will get the
best.—R. W. Hulett & Co.
Pres. and His Record.
Preston Singletary has the mo-
torcycle record on his mail route
smashed to smithereens again.
He left Sentinel last Tuesday
morning at 9:30 and was back in
town at 12:12 p. m., actual time
gone 2 hours and 42 minutes. He
travelled over twenty-five miles,
delivered the mail to the patrons
of the route and stopped on the
road for fully thirty minutes, so
he could have made the trip in 2
hours and 12 minutes. When
you compare that with leaving
at 9:30 in the morning and getting
back at 3:30 to 4:30 in the after-
noon, as he used to do with the
horses, there is a great differ-
ence. There are also no tired
horses and the man is also not so
tired. Great is progress. Move
to Oklahoma. Get on your mo-
torcycle and come quick, while |
you think about it.

Stands Woman on Her Head.
Kansas City, Mo., July 22-
H. W. Wycliffe's little drinking
and dancing party on a Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railroad
train, coming into Kansas City
Thursday night, cost him $200
in the South City court in Kan-
sas City, Kansas, Friday.
Wycliffe pleaded guilty to
charges of drinking on a train
and disturbing the peace.
Fifteen persons who were pas-
sengers in the same car Wycliffe
and two women companions oc-
cupied, remained here to appear
against him if witnesses were
needed.
Thomas May, a Rock Island po-
liceman, told the court that Wy-
cliffe added a few original diver-
sions to traveling as the train
n eared Kansas City.
"The man and the two wo-
men—one of whom he said was
his wife—were drinking on the
train," May said.
"Then Wycliffe produced a re-
volver and fired a shot through a
window of the car.
"The other passengers began
to feel uncomfortable. Then the
man picked up one of the women
and stood her on her head on the
floor of the car. Everyone be-
came offended, except the wo-
man. She simply laughed when
turned right way up again.''
Wycliffe made no denials. All
he did was to hurry the proceed-
ings so he could pay his fine and
He told the officers
that the woman who stood on her
head in the car was his wife.
Sentinel is the Infant Wonder of Ok-
lahoma; on the main line of the great
Orient railroad, in Washita county.
Has the best of schools, churches,
handsome business and residence build-
ings, banks, cotton gins, elevators, ho-
tels, etc., with wide streets, water-
works and other modern improvements.
Bonds to install an electric light system
carried at recent election. In the
center of a region wonderfully rich in
climate, health, natural resources, and
all that makes for right living, happi-
ness and prosperity.
STAND UP AND TAKE NOTICE
On my "for sale" list I have many choice farms
in this highly favored district—some with first class
improvements, others not so good. Buyers can suit
themselves as to quality of soil, location, etc., and if
they buy of me they can, in every instance, depend
upon getting lowest figures. That's my way of do-
ing business. To look at any of these places will
cost you nothing.
EXCHANGE LIST

other towns, also farm lands here and else-
where, to exchange. What have you to offer?
