The extreme cold weather of the past week has saved several cars for their owners. GEORGE JAMES had an Overland coach stolen Friday night. Before the thieves took Mr. James' car they pushed a Chevrolet touring belonging to a neighbor near by down the alley but could not get it to start. Mr. James recently moved here from Verden. Officers working out of the sheriff's office found the car abandoned East of Verden Saturday morning. The radiator had frozen and bursted. Thieves evidently thought CHARLES GOODWIN, local tag agent, did not need a car. While he was attending services at the Christian church Sunday evening someone drove Mr. Goodwin's Chevrolet tourng car away. No trace had been found of his car up to Wednesday morning. A Chevrolet touring was stolen from in front of the Columbia theatre Monday evening. The car belonged to JESSE BLANKENSHIP. No trace has been found. Officers want to again warn auto owners of the careless method they use with their cars. It is surprising, they state, the number of cars left parked on the streets without being locked in any manner. This invites the thief to take them. If owners would use half the precaution with old cars as they do with new ones, thieves would have slim pickings. ================================== FAMILY HAS REUNION A holiday reunion of the AMSPACHER family was held Sunday at the home of MR.

CARMICHAEL, who worked for the East End Service station here during November, 1927 and who before leaving town kited five worthless checks against a small and nsufficient bank account, has shown up in Louisiana, in jail. A warrant had been sworn out against him by one of the men here who had accpted his check, which was not honored. An uncle and cousin came here yesterday to take up the checks, and did take up all except the one that had been used in bringing prosecution through the authorities. And, when Louisiana gets through with this kiter he will be brought back here to answer for his felony, as the check he passed and on which the warrant was issued is for twenty-seven dollars. If such persons were allowed to go free and at large, it might encourage others to try this easy method of gaining money. Hence, the business men are giving their best service in helping to discourage bad check kiting. The uncle offered to pay the check which was used in bringing about the charges and the business man absolutely refused to accept it and said, I want to see that man get what he deserves. For if allowed to run at large, he may never come back here, but he will be at that same old game somewhere else. All business houses know how annoying it is to get a not honored check; and they will not honorably compromise with the man of the check artist type. signed C.H.

Following the regular business a splendid talk was made by REV. J.J. METHVIN on early day experiences in this section. The members of the Anadarko club will be the guests of the Chickasha Lions club at a luncheon next Monday. ----------------------------------------------------- MRS. TOWNSEND IMPROVING BILL TOWNSEND, deputy sheriff, returned Tuesday morning from Marlin Springs, Texas, where he had been with Mrs. Townsend for the past two weeks. He states that Mrs. Townsend's health is improving under the treatment and baths she is receiving at this popular health resort. ----------------------------------------------------- OZBIRN TO VISIT IN TEXAS N.H. OZBIRN, who has been managing the East Side filling station at Twelfth and Main for the past three years, has left for a two months visit with relatives and friends at Albany and El Paso, Texas. ---------------------------------------------------- TWO LOCAL MEN TO GO TO WASHINGTON ON IMPORTANT MISSION Matters of Interest to Anadarko and Caddo County Will Be Looked After. At a recent election held by the Indian tribes of this section, FRANK METHVIN was elected to represent the Apache and LEWIS WARE the Kiowas, in matters to be taken up with the United States government at Washington. In addition to the many matters concerning early treaties, these men will also assst in every possible way the bill recently introduced in congress by JED JOHNSON to provide a $40,000 dormitory for the Riverside school north of town. In the event of this bill's passage it will mean a great deal to Anadarko and Caddo county. It will provide a long felt want, it is said. There is no question but what an additional structure of this kind will help to strengthen the school to a great extent. Mesers. Ware and Methvin will oppose a recent house resolution to delegate to the various states jurisdiction in probate matters concerning Indians. It is argued that the passage of this bill would adversely affect the security of the Indians. It would, they say, place the Indians at the mercy of those who would take their property in lawsuits, etc., and in the long run prove harmful. These delegates will also consider matters regarding treaties made in the early days when the Indians were not sufficienty enlightened to look after their rights. The delegates will leave at an early date. ----------------------------------------------------- MINISTERS ANADARKO GROUP MEET IN CITY Wednesday, the Methodist ministers of the Anadarko group met in the Anadarko church for a morning and afternoon session to lay plans for a campaign to complete the conference hospital.

The pastors of Dutton and of Highland were not able to come. The plan is to raise $60,000 in the Oklahoma conference during February. That amount will make it possible to arrange to complete the hospital this year and begin its mission of mercy and help. ------------------------------------------------------ B. & P. W.

HARRY BROWN of Chickasha. Plans were made to hold a cooked food sale on Saturday Jan. 28, at Conner's furniture store.

HERBERT MEETING the first Wednesday in February. ----------------------------------------------------- CADDO COUNTY WOMAN MAKES POULTRY PAY HANDSOME DIVIDENDS MRS. G.W. RANADLETT of Carnegie thinks that poultry raisers often have too many birds to give them proper attention, according to the Carnegie Herald. Better management means greater profits. Unless we like birds we are not apt to succeed in poultry raising. I know boys and girls who are paying their way through college by raising poultry. Have a decent poultry house and clean it once a day. It must be dry and have plenty of ventilation and sunshine. Poultry must be culled from the time the chicks are taken from the incubator. Sell or can the cockerels. Don't keep old roosters or boarding hens. Don't have cramped quarters for the chickens. Every fowl needs at least four square feet of space. ----------------------------------------------------- BAUMAN'S TO OPEN MEAT MARKET COMING WEEK J.H. BAUMAN of the firm of Bauman's Grocery, informed us this morning that they had perfected plans for the opening of a meat market in the west room of their present store building, possibly the latter part of the coming week. They will handle fresh and cured meats and with this addition will be enabled to better service their customers. Fixtures have been ordered and will be placed in position as soon as they arrive. WAYNE HOWARD, who has been cutting meat at the Sanitary Market, has been employed and will be in charge of the meat department. Mr. Howard needs no lengthy introduction to our readers. With his connection with the Bauman Grocery this makes three brothers working for this firm -- Lawrence and Lee have been working in the grocery department for some time. As the Bauman boys are brothers, this makes quite an unusual combination of help. ---------------------------------------------------- LAWRENCE NEW HEAD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Banquet Held at Christian Church Friday Night and Officers for 1928 Are Chosen.

RILEY, who happened to be passing through the country north of Gracemont. Riley heard shots that aroused his suspicion, and upon investigation came upon the two men. They had two quails in their posession which Riley brought to Anadarko with him. He notified DEPUTY WARDEN JASPER SAUNKEAH as soon as he reached town and warrants were issued for the arrests.

NIGHT First Time in Many Months That the Women's Cell is Occupied. On making the rounds at the city hall Wednesday morning, an unusual sight came to the attention of a Tribune reporter. In the woman's compartment of the city bastile there reposed for the first time in many months a young woman. She had been taken in the previous night (Tuesday) about 11 o'clock, near the public dance tent on North Sixth Street. She had been drinking and had evidently partaken too heavily of beverages containing a kick. Evidently the kick had been too severe for this twenty year old lassie, at least she was given a spare bedroom in the basement of the city hall and it was here the reporter saw her Wednesday morning. Clad in clothing of rather a flapperish mode, she seemed unperturbed as to the course things seemed to be taking in her young life. Asked as to why she was there she merely replied, "drunk." On interviewing CHIEF HEFLEY, it was learned that the tent dance hall in the north part of town is outside the corporation limits and not subject to city ordinances. However, he said, "As often as any of its members get across the fence into his jurisdiction, that often will they be brought to justice." The young woman was freed Wednesday in police court and ordered to get a one way ticket out of town. ================================== GISH FUNERAL HOME PLANS NEW QUARTERS E.W. Gish Is In Oklahoma City Getting Plans Drawn. E.W. GISH is in Oklahoma City today (Thursday) having plans drawn for a new funeral home which will be erected in Anadarko in the near future.
