MAN SHOT FOR THIEF
LEAVES THE HOSPITAL
Madison EL B. Alexander, twenty-nine.
Antlers, Okl., who was con
fined at a Norfolk hospital because
I .1 ballet wound in the hip received
in a shooting fray at a garage here,
has disappeared from the hospital.
Gilbert Seibler, who county officials
Sid admitted shooting Alexander,
was arrested and released on his own
recognizance. Seibler said he
thought Alexander was attempting
to carry off some garape tools. No
charges have been filed against ei
ther of the men.
Central City Several hundred per
sons were probing the soil of a Silver
Creek farm Thursday in hopes of
finding liquor in addition to the 730
gallons discovered in a raid Wednes
day by county officers.
Two men arrested in the raid and
brought to jail here were identified
as James Reynolds, twenty-eight.
and Charles White, thirty-one, of
Omaha. Sheriff Mohr said Reynolds
had expressed willingness to plead
guilty to liquor charges. The farm
was leased by a third person, how
ever, and Mohr thought the men ar
rested were merely hired hands.
A 700 gallon still also was con
fiscated. Brought to the courthouse
here along with the liquor, it at
tracted 2,000 curious persons.
Most of the confiscated liquor was
in jugs and barrels buried beneath
the ground. Officers found it only by
patient probing for thirty hours.
They believed they had discovered
it all but scores of other persons con
tinued the search.
The still was operating in a new
ly built chicken shed. Officers were
of the opinion it had been working
about a month. An automobile and
a truck also were taken by the officers.

shot and instantly killer, by a sher
iff's posse as he was about to flee
from an ambush.
Sheriff Nielsen was the only wit
ness calid. He testified that he
was tipped off Tuesday that a plot
had been planned to blow up the
mill, and that he had been furnished
with a description of the man. had
been told when and how the plant
was to be blown up and what was to
be used. A sheriff's posse of seven
waiting there saw two men approach.
Flashlights were turned on the
men as they neared and they were
ordered to throw up their hands.
One man complied while the other
turned to flee and made a motion
to throw something, the sheriff stat
ed, whereupon one of the officers fir
ed and the man fell. The identity of
the officer who fired the shot is not
known, the sheriff stated.

tered bonds taken from the bank in
the robbery were recovered Wednes

Kansas City.
Oklahoma City The uniformed
ambassadors of Governor Murray 's
oil field shutdown edict worked to
smooth out curb complications in
the greater Seminole area while the
executive himself told how interests
who "wanted to control me on oil
proration" offered him $138,000 for
campaign funds if he'd run for presi
dent. "I turned it down," he said. "I
was offered $8,000 a month for six
months and $15,000 for the next
six months or until next spring.
"I would rather live in private life
than have my hands tied."
Meanwhile Lieutenant Colonel
Murray, the governor's cousin who
is running the field end of the shut
down operations affecting about 3,
000 oil wells, received reports at
Seminole from oil companies on the
number of wells they had shut down
in the forty miles square area and
the number of "water wells" they
claim should be exempt from the ed
dict. Wells pumping water and those
making less than twenty-five barrels
of oil a day will not be forced to
close, Murray has indicated.
Already major companies in the
Seminole area had curbed as many
producers as they believed would not
be injured. Units of national guards
men stood ready at Seminole for en
forcement of the edict. Others had a
quiet time in the Oklahoma City
"doorstep" pool. " Oil men wateched
with interest the progress of the
Texas legislature's conservation work
in the hope it would close the oil
floodgates of east Texas, generally re
garded as the greatest menace to the
Oklahoma market. State Journal.

STRUCTURE WILL BE SHOP

will go into the new transaceanic air
liners. Accord' "g to Dr. Karl Arn
stein, vice president of the corpor
ation, the structural design of the

the liners. Ships the size of the Ak

passengers. They will have a total
deck area of 12.000 square feet.
