The Producers and Refining
Co., of Tulsa, one of the biggest
oil oompaniss in the state. Is
behind the deal, and a sufficient
amount of capital is assured to
guarantee a thorough test .of
this field.
A location has been selected
a short distance south of town
oh what Is known as the Pbe-
ney Bowlegs allotment in Sec-
tion 31, Township 8, Range 9.
This location, we are in-
formed, was decided upon some
time last June, and steps taken
to secure leases on the sur-
W. J. Ryan
Garland Shepard
Just south of Wewoka. Al-
though many holes have been
punched around the town, ex-
perienced oil men declare that
a loir test has never been made,
arid continue firmly in the belief
that at a sufficient depth the
precious fluid will be found In
abundance.
The high price of oil, together
with the gradual failure of wells
in some of the older established
fields, have stimulated efforts
on the part of oil men for new
and undeveloped locations and
many sections of the state are
being tested.
We will see what we shall see
from this effort.

Garland Shepard, who Is now
convalescing in a hospital in
Paris, nance, has written his
parents that he is able to be up
part of theh time and is hoping
to soon be able to come home.
He congratulates himself over
the fact that while he has suf-
fered considerably, he is not in
as bad plight as some of tlie
,r.» who have loo: a leg, an
arm or received other perma-
nent injuries. The letter is full
of praise for the Red Cross and
other organisations that hhve j
ministered unto the sick and
wounded soldiers. He mentions
such little things as chocolate,
cake and other nick-nacks such
as appeal to the homesick men.
As the men are able, they are
taken out and shown the sights
of the city and he mentions see-
ing the tomb of Napoleon and
great generals, the cath-
edrals, and many other places
of international interest. He
to be remembered to all
his old friends and chums and
would be glad to have a letter
from any of them. His address
is Garland Shepard, A. P. O. 702,

Some Dirty Work
Some one entered the Sams
house Saturday night
and destroyed a number of
echoed books and other supplies
belonging to various students.
An investigation showed that
probably 875 worth of property
had been destroyed. It seems
the guilty parties went
there during the rain, and it be-
ing cold built a fire in the heat-
er with the books and statlon-
Wil-
Charley Debbs, col., was ar-
rested Saturday afternoon on
suspicion of having stolen a
hone from W. C. Crump a few
days before, and lodged In the
county Jail. Pending the out-
come of other matters in which
Debbs was supposed to be mixed
in, he was held in the county
Jail, and Tuesday made a clean-
cut confession of the crime.
To Deputy Sheriff zim Lane Irr
stated he could take the officer
and show him the horse. Leav-
ing immediately Mr. Lane and
J the negro went to the home of
Lonnie Durant nine miles north-
east of Boley, in Okfuskee
county, where they found the
horse just as represented.
Durant had traded for the
horse. According to Debbs he
and Bob Jones, who lives in the
west part of town, were to split
the proceeds of the stolen prop-
erty; that Jones went went in
Crump’s lot, got the horse and
brought him out; that he got on
the stolen horse and Jones an-
other and left together; that
Jones went as far as Sand Creek
store with him; that there he
turned over to Jones a saddle
to bring back in order to keep
down suspicion; that he went
on over to * Okfuskee county
and traded the horse to Lonnie
Durant for a black one and
brought it back to Wewoka;
that he then went to Holden-
viUe, and on the way traded for
a gray horse, now in possession
of Bob Jones. Both are now
waiting preliminary trial.

Some time prior to the sign-
ing of the armistice there wi
formed an association at Wash-
ington, D. C., Its purpose being
to collect photographs and clip-
pings of the men in the service,
and to later publish same In a
set of two or more volumes.
The work will be In the na-
ture of a pictorial history of the
Great War, in so far aa-'lt con-
cerns the American soldier, both
officers and enlisted men. As
far as possible photographs will
be arranged by states, cities and
counties. A mass of material
has been coitected, but th* as-
sociation is calling for addition-
al photographs. They especial-
ly desire the photographs of
every one who was killed in ac-
tion or died of wounds or dis-
ease on the other side; they
must have these photographs
to make the work complete,
however, many photographs
will be included of those who
were wounded in action, cited
for bravery or served with our
forces across the sea.
This work, when completed,
will become a valuable part at
American History, and it win
pay a deserved tribute to the
bravery of our boys and perpet-
uate the memory of those who
gave their lives for tb dr coun-
try. When printed the bound
volumes will be placed on the
market at the lowest possible
price.
Any photograph, poet card
picture or kodak print which is
clear will answer their purpose;
all photographs will be carefully
preserved and will.be returned
where stamps are sent for that
purpose.
