The free distriot agricultural

largely attended, the crowd being
estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000

the number at around 2,500, and
this is conservative. The fair

point, the entries of live stock

SPECIAL PRIZES
Best loaf bread from Heliotrope
Minister Fined $10
In the municipal court at Okla-
homa City Saturday Rev. H. E.
Van Horn, pastor of the First
Christian church of that city,
was fined $10 and costs for reck-
less driving of his automobile
after having run into and injured
a young lad on the streets. The
minister intends to fight the case
and gave notice of appeal. A
large crowd was present at the
trial, as the case was unusual—
a preacher under arrest for viola-
ting the law-.
Harrah Ships Potatoes
Hardly a week goes by without
some potato grower of the Har-
rah country shipping a car load
of potatoes to the oity market,
most of the shipments going to
the state capital. The crop this
year has been a success both as
to yield and price received.
Jones Fair Well Attended
The town shin f-<ir at Jones last
Saturday was well attended and
the exhibits of farm products and
live stock were of the best. The
crowd was estimated at about 2,
000 people.
Lobbyists Are Busy
The sight of Governor Williams
Banker M. L. Turner, Jasper
Sipes and a Chicago banker lob-
byist out in a big touring car late
Saturday night “joy riding”
caused considerable comment by
people who knew them as it pas-
sed them on the streets and boul-
evards. The party appeared to
be in rather a hilarious mood,
judging by the laughter and loud
talk, wuving of hands and hats
in the circumbient ether. Of
course, nobody would intimate
that the Chicago gentleman
brought along with him any of
the article that is prohibited by
tbe laws of Oklahoma (?)
A party of Harrah people com-
posed of Roy Wilson, A. A. Mil-
ler and Mr. and Mrs. John Wilson
have gone to the Washita river
country on a fi hi : an 1 camp*
ing trip.
Mr. and Mrs. James Hankison
have returned to their former

at a meeting of several members
of the citizens provisional capitol
committee in the governors office
Friday afternoon. The commit-
tee will hold a joint meeting with
the oapitol building "Commission
<>n September 27 when further
disscussin of the plans will take
place.
Make New Citizens
Saturday before Judge Clark
seven foreign born oitizens were
given citizenship papers and 18
applications were rejected, some
of them because of technicalities,
but most of the number for the
reason that the applicants were
too ignorant of Amerioan insti-
tutions.
Burl Bates formerly of Edmond
and Miss Ruth Bramberry were
married in Riohmond, Va. on
September 6. This comes to rel-
atives and friends as happy sur-
prise. Mr. Bates is in the em-
ploy of the civil service at Wash-
ington.
Two Gins at Harrah
The Southwestern Cotton Oil
company have put their cotton
gin at Harrah in good repair for
the fall seaaon’s business, and
both gins at that place will be in
operation when the ginning sea-
son opens.
Bad Shooting Affray
From the Arcadia Observer
Tuesday afternoon two negroes
Jim Johnson and one Shirley met
in August Martin’s store and
proceeded to settle an old feud
by “shooting it out,” with the
result that Shirley has a broken
arm and a .44 calibre bullet in
hi9 head fired from Johnson’s
big gat. The wounds are not
considered fatal.
The negroes who live in the
country had had previous trouble
and the shooting is the outcome
of this. Both Johnson and Shir-
ley have families and each are
about 40 years of age.
Johnson has not been arrested,
having deliberately walked away
defying and daring anybody to
lay hands on him.
Comoon, Ben.Moore, and take

ing capacity of 600. Rev. H. J.
Ridings is pastor of the church,
and it is due to his efforts that
the members are to have a fine
new church building.
