sheriff at Woodward, where Per-
kins was wanted on a charge of
horse stealing, to come over and
get his man. The Woodward
officials went to Stillwater and
readily identified the man as
Perkins and took him to Wood-
ward. *
The Stillwater officers had ar-
rested Perkins as a suspicious
character on the charge of carry-
ing concealed weapons but did
not know how important a capture
they had made until they learned
that they had Perkins and they
received the fifty dollars reward
that had been offered for his ar-
rest. Perkins was then taken to
Woodward but unfortunately was
released on bond and continued
his career of crime.
He robbed the store at Orienta

A. H. T. A. recaptured 22 head

HODGES QUEEN BINDER.
SOME STRAIGHT TALK.
We here give you some straight talk about an uncommon
grain binder—The Hodges Queen. It is a pleasant subject, and
like the old maid who was kissed in her youth, we like to talk
about it.
PLATFORM AND MAIN FRAME. If you have never seen
our machine you have never teen a platform and main frame like
the one on the Queen.
THE DRIVE WHEEL It is stronger than the strongest and
large as the largest, and is ten per cent wider than any other.
THE BINDER ATTACHMENT. It is different from other
binder attachments. This binder has three packers. The third
packer is seven inches ahead of the needle and it brings down
the butts of short grain and get the straw under the twine. In
the language of a happy purchaser, “It’s a Cinch.”
Strong Features Indicate Character.
For further information regarding the Hodges Queen, call at
James Matthews’ and get one of the booklets telling all about its
superior qualities. It is mide by an independent company that
is not connected with the trust.
