ANADARKO LAND:
BIG CHAUTAUQUA
Annual Epworth League Assembly M. E.
Church South Located Here.
This City Wins Over All Competitors When Committee Meets.
Means Great Things ior City.
Anadarko won a decided victory
Thursday at Oklahoma City boforo
the locating committee of tho M. E.
church south when this city secured
tho location of tho annual cbautauqua
of the Epworth League assembly of
tho church for this place. This
moans tho bringing to Anadarko of
thousands of people during August of
each years as tho selection of this
city means tho permanont location of
tho assembly hero.
The matter has been under con-
sideration for some time the com-
mercial club having taken hold of it
and meeting tne requirements of tho
church sent its representative to
OKlahoma City fully prepared to
bring the big gathering to Anadarko.
Last week tho locating committee
after having visited other cities that
woro anxious to socuro tho cbautau-
qua came to Ai.udnrko and looked
over the ground and finding that
hero was the iaeal plnco for such
gatherings wont away fully satis-
fied that Anadarko was tho place to
bo chosen. Tne Commercial club so
cured a tract of twenty acres just
south of tho city whic"i was offered
to tho church committco and with
othor inducements and the attractive
ness of the boating and pleasure
privileges granted by tho river no
other city in tho state was in posi
tion to offer such inducements as
Anadarko.
When the committer mot in Okla
homa City Wednesday tho special
committco which had inspected tho
sites offered reported to tho wholo
committco tho recommendation was
for Anadarko and Thursday whtn tho
consideration of tho report of tho
special committee was takeh up it
was generally :onccded that Ana
darko had won out. Tho matter
came up for final consideration
Thursday evening and after tho
claims of the various cities asking
for tho location prominent among
which was Lawton had bcon pro
sented tho committco went into
executive session and when the vote
was taken Iheio wbb not a singlo vote
against Anadarko.
Tho M. E. church Bouth has for
tho past fivo years maintained an
assembly of the Epworth League at
Corpus Christi Tex. and tho aver-
ago attendance thcro is 10000 people
daily. Tho church is establishing
similar assemblies in Alabama
Georgia A-kanas ind Missouri
which with thn Oklahoma assembly
will mako six states which arn in-
cluded in tho list. With theso tho
church is enabled to sccuro tho high-
est class talent to bn had and tho as-
semblies will be mado tho great
stato gatherings of tho church in
each state. It is tho purposo to
mako tho Anadarko assembly as
large as tho Texas assembly and it is
estimated thnt it will bring to Ana-
darko the first j ear ovor five thous-
and people for oach of the ten days.
After tho first year tho number will
bo greater.
The Epworth Leuguu will at onco
establish headquarters in thU city
and tho secretary will hnyn in chargo
all matters pertaining to tho work.
He will nt once begin an active can-
vas of the state ind tickets for the
assembly vhirh will mott in Aug-
ust will bo placed on suit) and the
effort will bo made to start tho first
year off with an attcndpnro that will
be a record breaker.
For Anadarko tills is one of the
biggest captures the Commercial
club has made and it will prove of
the greatest benefit to tho city as it
will advertise Anadarko as nothing
cl8o could do. and will bring thous-
ands of people hero who will go nwoy
and sing Anadarko's praises. Per-
manent buildings will be erected for
th use of tho assembly and with
the regular Anadarko chautauqua
which begins in June this city will
annunlly nave two of the biggest and
best gatherings of tho kind in thu
state.
THE BIG SHOW
"Flower of the Ranch" at Opera
House Saturday Night.
" The Flower of the Ranch" win
cornea to tho Opera house SaUirlY
night is tho lirst metropolitan nttrne-
tlon that has ever appeared in Ana-
darko. I have ficqutnt upporiom
ties to put on such attractions but
could never seo my way clear to do so
To put in such large fompnnfeu and
then not "mal.o good" would maku
the company sore and foruver reflect
against tho city as wollnw tho manage
mont. Tho only way to secure tho
largo attractions is topnti'onizu them.
I hnvo oeen naked more than n thou
sand times "Why don't you give us
a show likd Ed. Ovorholser puts on in
Oklahoma City." Well it Is not
that I can't get triem but would tho
pnoplo support them. "Tho Flower
of the Ranch" company sent an agent
last Saturday to investigate and wo
called on thn business men and some
of tho best show goers to find out if
they would really patronize such a
largo company whore the prices run
from CO cents to $1.50. Wo had nt
loast ono hundred promises fr.im par-
ti s who agreed to take from one to
fivo tickets. In consideration of theso
promises tho show was billed f:r
Anadarko. It Ib now up to tho peo-
ple as to whother they want to bring
to the city tho largo attractions or
tho small ones.

GANDY REPLIES
Denies Sheriff's Charge He was
a Jail Bird
1 wikIi to stato to the Public thtt
I was no jail oird nor either was I
convictelof stealing Mr Todd'u watch
Thny took me una used mo as a
tru:ey and at the time I got my Ben
tnnco I was turnod loose. Further
more at the timo I was supposed to
get liquor from Ed. Elms I was a
truhtey. At tho day of Ed Elms
trial 1 was at the land dipper all day
aiu Mr Baker was there only one
timo and I can prove it by W E.
Law a n J to M Marquurdt tho men
who worked with mo Jat tho dipper.
Mr. linker called mo out from tho
innd dipper and told mo that thoy
had Issued n warrant for mo but "I
wun't serve it on you and if any of
my foroo runic after you dont you
como for the renaon you was a trustey
at the time" Mr Baker told mo
that he was afraid Mr. Oristow would
figure up (ho time that I was there
and would find out that I was charged
up with full timo board and was turn-
ed away 9 days ahead of time. Now
if tho Citizens of Anadarko aro in
favor of pushing tho prohibition law
they should know thatsnveral bottles
of whiskey and boor carriod away by
debuties and stored away in tho baa-
ment of the Court liouao n"d they
took patimlar pains to pick out tho
best brand's of liquor. This all hap-
pened at tho timo that we was pack-
ing tho whiskey and beer to send to
Guthrie
Also Mrs Baker told mo that sho
wlsho'l I would Boll a pint of whiskey
so sho could have mo tu holp her in
tho kitchen that I was a number
one good hand and that I never
would be locked up.
Now on tho seventh day of Febru-
ary Mr Drapor camo to tha sand
dipper and arrested me for not ap-
pearing at tho Ed Elms trial. In tho
first placo why did Mr Baker tell mo
to stcy away and in tho second
place why did he not seivo tho war-
rant on mo whon ho enmo to tho
sand dlppor.
