whether or not he would enter
the race has been the most
discussed question of county
Oklahoma, under the act of Con
gress of March 3, 1879.
STUDY THESE FIGURES
It is understood that others
who were desirious of enter-
ing the sheriff’s race, made
their decision contingent up-
on the decision of Mr. Ozbirn,
and will not run against him.
Probably no one is better
known to Washita county vot

for trains.
On the line of the Southern
Pacific last year 1909 motor
cars and trucks were wrecked
at crossings. In 490 cases mot-
jorists ran into trains, and in
1122 cases machines plunged
through crossing gates. In the
970 cases in which drivers ran
into trains 136 people were

The note of warning in this
report should be taken serious-
ly by you, Mr. Reader. The
other fellow always is reckless,
in your opinion, and when you
j have an accident you are the
I reckless chap to the other fel-
low. The railroad grade cross-
ing is a death trap. It should
be regarded as such and ap-
proached carefully, watchfully
and with a lot of caution. It
may take a moment longer to
make a safe trip across, but
this moment lost may mean
the saving of life and proper-
ty. The chap who rushes
across occasionally reaches a
destination he had no inten-
tion of seeking when he start-
ed out. “Make haste slowly”
is a mighty good plan when
you are driving an auto near
a railroad crossing.

ice, leaving September 5 of the
same year. Lee worked up
thru the regular “non com”
promotions until ordered to
officers training camp, and re-
ceived his commission as sec-
ond lieutenant at Camp Lee,
Va., June 1, 1918. Following
active overseas duty, Lee was
made a first lieutenant at the
Meuse-Argonne offensive and
was discharged in August
1919.
Since shortly after his re-
turn, he and Albert Eaton
have been partners in the E &
O drug stores at Sentinel and
Weatherford, Lee having
charge of the Sentinel store.
He is not asking office upon
any basis that military service
and giving up his former of-
fice entitle him to it, but simp-
ly upon his natural capacity
and ability to handle the office
as it shouid be handled—some-
thing there will be no question
raised about.
