Mad A Mistake.
Saturday. Roy Wynne who
wu charged with having robbed
the Lawton Mill & Elevator Co..
entered a plea of guilty and did
cot atand trial.
Wynne evidently did not know
that the juries in this term of
diatrict court had failed to com-
vict a tingle peraon up to that
time or he would have stood
trial and been acquitted.
John Tremont of Chickasha is
on trial this week and it is lucky
for hira to strike such a jury.
Judging from their verdicts in
other cases a man would be safe
betting dollars against doughnuts
that he Will be acquitted.
o
Moving Around.
Last week G. W. Walker
moved into the Humphries house
ana u. u. sparics moved into the
Hinds house vacated by Mr.
Walker.
On Monday Dr. Gamble moved
his household goods to Fletcher
where ht will practice in the fu-
ture. A. J. James moved into
the Gamble house and S. M. Da-
vis will move his family here
from Lawton into his housp
which was vacated by Mr James.
Payments Extended.
The county commissioners
have extended the time of pay-
ing one half the 1913 taxes to
Feb. 1 and any who have not
paid their taxes can pay half or
all before that date without pen-
alty. While the announcement comes
rather late to benefit many there
may be a few who can still take
adantage of this extension.
ranching Out.
 W. w Bi'unikill went to Chick-arta-i
TueaHey where hols open-
ing a wholesale grain flour and
feed business. He will retain
hid .ateraitd here and devote part
