A cold wave? reaching minimum
temperature of between 11 and 24 de-
grees S tutday night is swooping
down upon Oklahoma, according to
the weather bureau. J. 1\ Slaugh
ter, chief of the bureau, fears the
fruit crop over the state will be
greatly damaged b\ the eold wave.
A strongly developed high pres
sure area centering over wester*.
Canada and which is causing tem-
perature.; IS and 20 decrees below
zero is expected to can e cold wave;
throughout the western half of tlie
country, except the Pacific coast
i State forecast wa i Friday night aim
1 Saturday cloudy with probably rain
or snow; colder with a cold wave;
temperatures II to 111 by Saturday
i night.
I Slaughter says the only possibility
I of the fruit crop in Oklahoma not
beiu" damaged lies in the low pres-
sure area centering over tin* Pacific
slope, which may forge in ahead of
the high area, thereby moderating
the effects of the cold wave.
| The predictions for this vicinity
was rain or snow tonight, cold wave
i Saturday, with a* temperature of 14
to 24 degrees above. Temperature

A STATEMENT
In a recent issue the Democrat
stated that 11 c. Hoagland, some
time manager of the Byllesby prop j
erties at Muskogee and Ft. Smith,
had be'U promoted to the position of j
general manager of the Oklahoma
Natural Gas company.
From the statement that Mr Hoag
land had been a manager for the
Byllesby company and that he ha.
been promoted to general manager
of the Oklahoma Natural Gas con,
pany, it seems that some people have
inferred tlc.it the Oklahoma Natural;
Co. is a Byllesby company or that j
there is at least some financial rein !
lion between the two companies.
I11 stating th-.., \i, Hoagland hao I
been pr< moted it wmeant merely
to ; y that his present position is a
note responsible one and in that {
>onse oirty it is 1 promotion.

CLARA'S
TRIAL
(Bv United Hrmi

laced her accusers todav when flie
state presented its case against her
Attorney (! neral Freeling, who is lu
charge t f the piosecution, made the
openim; statemcat ft) the jury for the
state, and fold the jury what the
late expects to prove In the state-
ment he said that Clara followed
lake llamon to Ardmore In 1913, and
bee 1:110 his stenographer.
He charge | that shortly afterward
they began living together as man
iikI wife, ind that the life of the do-
le.id.in: tin 1 llamon was continued
in open adultery The attorney gon-
a 1 in Ins statement said that tht 
defendant was jealous of llamon anu
:I1.1t they had lovers' quarrels, tho
t'sual resit'? of illicit love.
In 11U7 Hanion called an officer
to his apartment because I10 wanted
some papers. The officer found tho
defendant there with a revolver, but
tin4 officer secured the papers for
Mamon.
Freeling then intimated that the
estrangement between the defend-
ant and llamon started, culminatin-,
in the fatal shooting. Tho state will
prove. Freeling said, that when Ha-
nion entered the hospital aft r he
was shot he told lb. Hardy, tho phy«
sician in charge, "Doctor, I'm shot,
Clara did it I'm going to die."
"We will also prove," Freeling
said, "that llamon pleaded with Dr.
II inly for God's Sake never tell this,
say it was an accident.
Freeling's scathing brand placed
011 Clara, apparently left her un
moved She sat erect in her chair
and watched the reaction of the jury
to the charges of Freeling.
Across tin* table sat Mrs. llamon,
her daughter and son. Mrs. Hanion
stared frigidly at the jury. It took
Freeling one hour to present the
state's case.
■less Mullen, capitalist, was the
first witness for the state. His tes-
timony was of minor nature, dealing
with his acquaintance with the de-
fendant and llamon. Three other
wifn- e.s had testified for the state
when flit1 noon recess was taken.
