County Indebted to J. W.
Mansell for $244.71
When the State Auditor
checked up the various county
officials they found the county
was indebted to Ex-County
Judge J. W. Mansell, and on
August 5th the county com-
missioners issued a warrant to
him for the sum of $305,65. He
had to pay the county $36 49.
In making settlement with the
clerk he owed $24.45. This left
a net balance to him of $244.71
Mr. Mansell is very proud that
he can go before those who
elected him and say to them
that my “Record shows that I
was on the square with those
who trusted me. ” Not that any
others were dishonest who have
had to repay the county money.
But he feels that his record
makes a creditable showing.

meeting Closed
The Baptist revival which has
been going on under the tent
here for the past three weeks,
conducted by Rev. J. M. B.
Gresham closed last Tuesday
night and was without doubt
one of the most successful meet-
ings of the kind ever held in thi
place, as a single church e(f< rt*
There were eleven new addi’iois
to the church, 6 by baptism and
5 by letter. This meeting has
been a great religious awaken-
ing in Lone Wolf and its nobl •
results will be long and numer-
ously reslized in this community.
Rev. Gresham’s sermons bristl
with philosophy, sound logic » nd
choice epigrams and therefore
are didactic alike to the audience,
whether of the converted or
unconverted.
Not only does Rev. Gresham
possess rare qualifications as a
minister of the gospel, but he
is a most pleasant man to meet1
outside of the sanctuary, affable,
clever, courteous and a general |
mtxer Since his coming to,
Lone Wolf a few months ag<>
to assume the pastorate of the
Baptist church there has been
something over thirty additions

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN*
This is to certify that I. Belle G. Martin, owned
the residence formerly located on Lot 1, Block No.
6. Katie Addition to Lugert. Oklahoma. I bought
this property fmm W. H. Masters who carried a
5 year Insurance Policy in the Fidelity-Phenix
Insurance Company to the amount of $150.U0 on the
residence, which Policy was duly assigned to me
November 2nd. 1919.
This policy was misplaced and at the time of the
Lugert cyclone on April 27th, 1912, at which time
this residence was totally destroyed, the policy
could not be found, and I had no way of even find-
ing ont the name of the company in which 1 had
been insured, so concluded that the policy must have
already expired. No being able to find out the
name of the Insurance Company’. 1 could not give
notice and the matter was dropped.
However, during the last dav* of May, 1913, just
13 months after the cyclone, while looking through
some old papers the lost policy was found. The
policy showed that it had been in force at the time
of tne cyclone- April 27th. 1912. but had expired on
September 10th, 1912, just 8 and 1-2 months before
the policy was found. The policy was at • nee taken
to W. P. Mesmer, agent at Lone Wolf. Okla., who
on June 2nd, 1913. sent in to the insurance company
proof of loss and first notice ever given to the
insurance company of the loss. The adjustment was
made and on July 15th, 1912, W. P. W‘‘smer, agent
delivered to me a draft from the Fidelity-Phenix
Insurance Company for $150.00, the total amount
of loss claimed by me and the total amount of the
policy on said residence. 1 wish to say further that
I am more than satisfied with the manner in which
this loss has been handled and with the prompt and
fair settlement made.
