GERMAN NEARLY LOSES BRIDE
SECURED FROM FATHERLAND BY
AD. WHO CANT SPEAK ENGLISH
Claremore -Tho iaauanco of a
marriage licenae by the clerk of the
county court in this city to John J.
Goorti and Annie Holland, brought
to light hii interesting Btory.
Some two or three months ago
John Ooerlr.. who had been living
alone ou tho Lewis Allen farm neur
tho Collinsville oil fields since the
death of his wife, came to the con-
clusion that this mode of living was
too lonesome, and that the easiest
manner in which to Becure another
companion was to advertise for one,
and being of German descent, natur-
ally wanted a companion of the same
rationality. He, therefore, placed an
advertisement in one of tho news-
papers .in fiortin, Germany, hoping
thereby to secure the desired results.
In a few weeks Mr. G oar ti received
a letter from Miss Annie Holland of
Herlln, stating that she had read the
ad. in (he llerlin paper, that she
was 40 years of age, had for a num-
ber of years been living with her
mother in that city, hut. as the lat-
ter had died a short time since, slu;
was alone, end would appreciate fur-
ther particular! regarding himself,
tind was not averse to a proposition
of matrimony.
Goertz immediately wrote to tho
young lady, and tho correspondence
quickly led up to the proposal of mar-
riage and the dale was set for her to
nail to this country.
Miss Holland arrived in Claremore
expecting to meet her intended hus-
band here, but In some manner tho
dateu had become mixed and the gen-
tleman did not put in his appear
ance. As Miss Holland neither
spoko nor understood the English
language, she was at a loss Just what
to do, but managed through the aid
of signs to secure meals throughout
the day, and when night came went
to the Palace hotel, gave the "sleep
sign" and secured a room for the
night. On coming down stairs next
morning MIsif Holland discovered
threo gentlemen of German descent
standing near the hotel and in con-
versation- with them, told them of
her predicament, and also gave them
the name of the intended bridegroom.
The gentlemen immediately secured
Goertz over the phone and informed
him of the fact that Miss Holland was
in the city. Goertr came to this city
post haste, met the fair lady, secured
the necessary license, the "knot was
tied," and the newly-weds left for
the home of the groom near Collins-
viile. -

BIG FIRES IN OKLAHOMA TOWNS
Entire Block Burned When South
Wind Fans a Costly Blaze
at Blanchard.
Blanchard—An entire block of
wooden buildings occupied by busi-
ness bouses was destroyed by Ore here
when a blaze starting at 5 o'clock in
the morning in a restaurant owned by
S W. Moore. Fanned by a Bouth wind
the flames spread north and could not
be checked until the entire block was
destroyed. Firemen narrowly pre-
fented the spread of the flames to the
Tucker building across the street from
those burned. The total loss In the
Maze will aggregate about |-0.000.
with insurauce of approximately
$8,000.
Ail the owners of the buildings de-
stroyed already are making arrange-
ments to replace their structures with
brick buildings.
No accidents occurred during the
fire.
Fine Business Houses Burn at Perry,
With a Loss of
$5,000.
Perry.—Five business houses of
Perry, a portion of them landmarks of
the town erected immediately follow-
ing the opening of the "strip" in 1893.
and two residences were burned to
the ground here within a period of
eight hours, the total loss from two
conflagrations being more than $20.-
000. In the business district only
heroic work on the part of the fire de^
partnient prevented the destruction of
ar entire block of buildings.
All of the buildings burned were of
frame construction, the fire being
checked at t/he Grand opera house, a
brick structure three stories in height.
The high wall and fireproof roof en-
abled the firemen to prevent the fur-
ther spread of the flames, which were
fanned by a south wind.
The losses resulting from the fire
will total $5,000. The origin of both
fires is unknown.

COUNTY RECORDS REMOVED.
Officiale Return to New Jay, Per
Judge'a Order; No
Trouble.
Jay.—A portion of the records and
office equipment of Delaware county
officials were moved from old Jay to
New Jay, without trouble of any kind.
Complying with an order of District
Judge John H. Pitctiford. the county
commissioners ordered the removal of
the records.
The Delaware county trouble at last
appears to be settled. There was no
resistance on the part of the citizens
of old Jay to prevent the removal and
it is believed that New Jay now will
remain the seat of county govern-
men. The records moved were placed
in a flre-proof building.
Some time ago a portion of the
county records were stolen from old
Jay, and taken to New Jay. These
will not be disturbed.

Cornish Has an Oil Well.
Cornish V big oil boom for the
Carter-Stephens county oil field was
started when the Red River Ddilling
Corn pa nr broneht In a well on Section
8. township 4 south, range 3 west, just
north of Cornish, which la estimated
at from 150 to 206 barrels. The strike
was made at a depth of 940 feet.
About thirty barrels were pumped out
w.rhout lowering the surface of the Oil
at all and work was then closed down.
Freight Rates On Peanuts Reduced
The peanut industry in Oklahoma
received a big impetus by the estab-
lishment of lower rates from Okla-
homa points along the Rock Island
and Frisco lines to eastern markets.
The Santa Fe and Katy railroads have
agreed to grant corresponding low
rates.
yAs an example of the gain to the
Oklahoma shippers the rate from
Oklahoma City to St. Louis was 82
cents per hundred. The new rate
will be 56 cents. The former rate
from a town in the southwestern part
of the state to Milwaukee was for-
merly 96 cents, the new rate will be
r>6 cents. Such reductions are calcu-
lated to do more for the growth of
the peanut industry in Oklahoma than
any development yet made since pea-
nuts were first grown in the state.
Fifty thousand acres is the estimat-
ed acreage of peanuts in the state
this year and a bumper crop is in-
dicated. Not less than thirty bushels
to the acre is the estimated yield
according to the present condition of
the crop.
New Text Books Have Arrived.
More than half of the school book
publishing houses, which secured con-
tracts from the state beard of educa-
tion in July, 1912. lrnve their books in
Oklahoma ready to be placed on sale
at the opening of the school term in
September, according to information
obtained from authentic sources Sun-
day afternoon, all of which indicates
that the action of Lieutenant Gover-
nor McAlester in signing the contracts
Is considered by the book companies
as legal and binding.
This action on the part of the book
men. it is also said, will protect the
patil>ns of the schools from what
seemed to be a rather complicated
situation and one that threatened
financial loss. Without the 1912 con-
tracts and adoptions it is believed that
the people have no protection what-
ever. the state being without a con-
tract with any publishing houses since
the termination of the 1908 contracts,
which expired on the night of July
31, about the asme time the governor
crossed the state line on his recent
visit to Kansas City.
