Wholesale Destruction of
Property Perpetrated Here
Numerous Fences in District
Sottthncst of Town Cut to
Pieces and Stock Turned in-
to droning t-rdps. Culprit
Unknown.
What is believed to be an or-
ganized effort of radicals to
bring about a wholesale de-
struction of growing crops
thru the medium of destroying
pastures and permitting droves
of stock to run in growing
crops at night has come to
light in a section juat south-
west of town this week when
numerous farmers and stock-
men have awakened in the
morning to find their pastures
fences cut to peaces and their
own stock tramping down their
own crops.
Information received by the
NEWS indicates that the de-
predations have been committ-
ed by a man or men on horse
back These particular atten-
tions seems to have been paid
to fences that separated pas-
ture land irom growing crops
and all the strands of wire in
the fences have been cut. not.
in one nlace. but in van.. uo
that the stock could walk out
at any one of a dozen places
VL'C.r.is of the property de-
slrojer so Tar ascertained this
week arc J. R. Piincau on th"
former Pr. lingood place tw-.
miles southwest of town. Wal-
ter Pymeni. C. C. Muilius J E
Mullins. W. A. Duva'it and
oth us whw names we hiiv
not secured. Most of th" de
r-tmctiors seems to have been
done Tuesday nla.hl. although
additional victims were report-
ed Thrrsduy morning.
Tl e acts can hardly b
changed to the act of an enemy.
for the destruction seems to
have been wanton and carried
out without regard to persons
and with the view of letting
droves of cattle and horses Into
adjoining fields of crops and
the destruction wrought al-
ready is quite ah item pot to
include the trouble and time
the victims are put to to gather
up their stock and repair their
fences.
Near every cut in fences
where the soil is soft horses
hoofs are clearly discernible
but other than that no clue is
obtainable as to the culprit.
Tlie large scale on which the
work is being carried out
leads many to fear that it is the
result of an organized effort
to cause as great destructidn
to crops as possible and the
ear marks are clearly that of
I. W. W.'s. members of which
class ol agitators are believed
o have been ill our midst for
some time.
As ointed out by one of the
victim people are for the most
par' helpless against such at-
tack (Hi a dark' nighl a h irse-
mau can slip up to one corner
of a man's place cut his fenc
to pieces and get away a dozen

ed Judging from an interview

had with one man thus treat-
ed the people in tint eomm.t-
nitv are in no mood to be trif-
Vd with and it would surely
go hard and rough with a if
one caught at such work.
Want Pasture
For Western
Cattle Here
Drouth Destroys Paritarc Lnnd
In Montana Idaho And In
Wyoming. Cnlltc Must lit
Pastured Elsewhere.
The government farm bur-
eau has had requests from the
states of Montana. Wyoming
and Idaho which are drouth
stricken this year for informa-
tion as to available pasture or
grazing land in Oklahoma. In
those states the pastures have
become useless on account of
the lack of moisture and the
cattlemen have been left with
their herds of cattle and with
no grazing land for them. It
is desired either to lease land
for grazing or to dispose of the
stockers to people having the
necessary pasture for them. If
any one in this section is so
situated as to be able to lease
grazing land they should see
or write to (1. 15. Punlap the
farm agent of tills county at
Purant for further information.
