Ringling, Jefferson County, Oklahoma

Boxing Bout Ends with Fist Injuries to Men Both fighters had broken their 
right fists in the second round…BILLIE HARWELL of Dundee had issued a 
challenge to the winner of the bout for this Friday night, but ending as 
it did, he will match with BILLY LOGAN, of Maud, Oklahoma. Harwell is an 
army trained fighter and Logan is a classy man with the mittens. Fans are 
assured of another thriller.
County Lawyers Get Compromise
J. L. VERTREES, J. T. DANIEL, and E. B ANDERSON, Jefferson County 
attorneys, figured in a large damage suit last Friday in JUDGE WILLIAMS' 
court in Ardmore. They represented MRS. EDITH WINNINGHAM of Terral who was 
suing the Magnolia Pipeline Company for the death of her husband, CECIL 
WINNINGHAM who was killed in the Beaver Pump Station in Cotton County 
while in the employment of the Magnolia Pipeline Co. The defendant company 
offered to compromise and settle for $8000 which was accepted by the 
plaintiff.
Chasing the fireman from the cab to the tender and ordering the engineer 
to 'move on,' TOM UPTON, 22, with the hallucination that he was supreme 
over all he surveyed, boarded the locomotive of a fast northbound Rock 
Island passenger train at Comanche late Monday and took charge of the 
engine until he was forcibly taken off by officers who were waiting on him 
when the train pulled into Duncan. Upton told officers he didn't remember 
boarding the train and that he drank a half gallon of wine.
WALLACE ROGERS' residence was partly burned.
Tragedy stalked in Pauls Valley Tuesday when LEE CHRISTIAN, 33 year old 
farmer, was murdered by M. DOWNEY and his son SAM DOWNEY, who are now in 
the Garvin County jail. The killing was a climax to the Downey-Christian 
family…
