: WHOLESALE RAID ON J. H.
CROOK'S HENNERY.

JEWELRY STOCK
| STORE ON CENTRAL AVENUE
HAS BEEN RE-OPENED FOR
BUSINESS.
About the time Sheriff Bud Felker
and his deputies think they have
brought in the last bunch of bad boys
and landed them in jail, trouble breaks
out afresh and, usually from an unex-
pected source. J. H. Crook is an em-
ployee at the offices of the Choctaw
Lumber Co., in this city. He em-
ploys his time when not busy at the
office in raising chickens of Superior
strain, and has some valuable fowls
in his collection, and as a precaution
against theft keeps them under lock
and key.
A few nights ago Shirley Powell,
Emmett Powell, Carl and Amos Pow-
ell, it is alleged, raided Mr. Crook's
chicken ranch and created great con-
fusion amang the birds and conster-
nation in the mind of the owner. The
boys were corralled by Sheriff Felk-
er and deputies and placed in jail in
default of a $1,000 bond in each case.
*
For Grand Larceny.
Charley Williams was brought over
from Broken Bow and placed in jail
with a charge of grand larceny dock-
eted against him. He was unable to
make bond.
* * *
For Forgery.
Lee S. Curry is registered at the
court house. He hails from Broken
1 Bow and is charged with forgery. He
! is in jail because of his failure to
| make a $1,000 bond.

Fourteen, Count 'Em.
Tw0 or three weeks ago Jailer S.
A. Buchanana was complaining of
dull business at the county's beanery
over which he presides. But he has
plenty of company now. Yesterday
he had seventeen regulars—13 white
men, four negroes and not a single
Choctaw. The majority of these in-
mates will have t0 remain until the
next term of court, being unable to
make bond.
The Fred O. Gumm Jewelry Store
on Central Avenue which has been
closed for several weeks pending set-
tlement of its affairs, has been re-op-
ened for business. W. H. Gumm of

bought the stock and has made his
son manager of the business.
Fred invites his friends and cus-
tomers to call on him when in need
of anything in his line.
