Oklahoma City, Okla.. Oct. 31.
An army of a half thousand men,
military and civil, guarded Okla
homa's capital tonight against the
menace of a potential fire dragon
a gigantic wild oil well that roared
at the city's edge.
Nine units of the Oklahoma na
tional guard were called to assist
civil authorities in protecting life
and property in the vicinity of the
No. 1 C. E. Stout well, which since
last night has been hurling prodig
ious quantities of oil and gas into
the air less than a mile from the
main business district.
All activities in the immediate
threatened area on the southeast out
skirts of the wholesale district was
suspended.
Householders were warned not to
light fires and residents nearest the
well, mostly Negroes, were ordered
to vacate their homes.
Six Schools Closed,
Six schools considered to be men
aced by low hanging clouds of gas
were closed for the day, making a
holiday for more than 2,300 pupils.
Trains were barred from tracks
near the well because of the danger
of their engine fires igniting the gas.
Automobiles and trucks were forbid
den entrance into the danger zone.
The well, estimated to have a daily
production of 60 thousand barrels of
oil and 100 million cubic feet of gas,
tore loose last night when sand cut
its connections.

FOR
SHERIFF
With a hard winter coming on,
hundreds of men out of work in the
larger cities, gangsters from the east
penetrating the middle west with rob
bery, kidnaping and murder, the bank
ers, farmers and merchants are going
to be subject to much loss unless we are
organized and have the right kind of
men for law enforcement officers.
I wish to commend GEORGE
TRUNKENBOLZ of Greenwood, can
didate for Sheriff, to the voters of Cass
county.
Mr. Trunkenbolz has had a vast
amount of experience in law enforce
ment work and can be depended upon.
Mr. Trunkenbolz is an ex-service
man and has a fine family a good wife
and three daughters. ,
Let's make Cass county a safe
place to live in.

Like the Wild Mary Sudik, famous
outlaw that defied control for 11 days
last spring ordinary methods failed
and a special device known as a
"Christmas Tree," a heavy steel con-
cal bonnet, was being forged to drop
over the bellowing maw or trie wen.
The guardsmen entered the area

an appeal had been made by Sheriff
Stanley Rogers for military aid to
supplement the efforts of his staff and
citv fire and nolice forces.
The well is just outside the city
limits but much closer to the heart
of the city than the greater part of
the residence districts. It is on the
south bank of the North Canadian
river which bisects Oklahoma City.
Since motor trucks were not per-
mitted in the area, household goods
of the few who moved from the sec
tion were transported in wagons
drawn over oil slimed streets by
mules and horses. World-Herald.

the old home place for the past 46
years, and by their thrift and in

to insure a life of comfort to their
incoming years. They recently pur

new homes erected since the coming
of the cement plant.
The recent marriage of a son, Ar
nold Heil, who will occupy the home
place, makes it possible for them to
gire up the farm and enjoy a life of
leisure in the future. They moved

The guests included the friends
ard neighbors of the family and they

wishes for future happiness, every

a result of the secularized type of

Oliver D. Ballzy. pastor of the
Kountze Memorial Lutheran church
at Omaha, stated in an address here
that the future of the nation depends
upon the denominational colleges. i

"The present alarming increase in
crime has resulted from the fact that
; religion and education have become
divorced in our public and state
i schools," Dr. Baltzy declared. "For
jthat reason our greatest problem in
this country today is not that of un-
employment nor of capital and hilr,
but that of sound morale the prob
lem of our youth who will be the
men and women of tomorrow."

Guy Bogenrief of Eagle, Nebraska,
who shucked 25.16 bushels of corn
in an hour and twenty minutes, wa3
declared winner of the county corn
husking contest which was held at
the Nelson Berger farm, one and one
half miles northeast of Nehawka,
Wednesday, October 29th. Eight men,
out of nine entries, competed in the
contest, before a crowd of about three
hundred spectators.
The assistance of nearly forty-five
local men was required to carry on
the contest. For each contestant and
his wagon, there were a driver, two
gleaners and a referee, and aside from
these there were three official judges,
the official starter and stopper, and
others who assisted in weighing the
corn.
The contest got under way at 1:30
o'clock and ran very smoothly. The
corn yielded about 38 to 40 bushols
per acre, stood up nicely and was
reasonably thin.
Following is a list of the contest
