SHEIKS PROVING
TO BE MEN ACE TO
COUNTRY MAIDS
OKLAHOMA GIRLS ARE LURED BY
FALSE PROMISES OF FORMER
“WAR HEROES”
ENID, Okla., March 4.—Sheiks who
have good fronts, glib tongues and a
rare capacity for making promises
are becoming a real menace to unso
phisticated and credulous country
maidens in Northern Oklahoma, ac
cording to Mrs. Frances Rrawner, the
superintendent of the Associated
Charities at Enid, who has warned the
parents of rural girls to cultivate a
skeptical attitude toward all dashing
“returned wrar heroes” as well as oth
er un-recommended strangers seeking
their acquaintance.
Mrs. Brawner’s attention was drawn
to the “sheik menace” by the experi
ence of Miss Anna Slater, an 18-year
old Kansas girl, wTho succumbed to the
irresponsible lovemaking of a man
posing as a w ar hero in her home town
six months ago, only to discover upon
her arrival in Enid, the city where he
said his wealthy parents resided, that
Prince Charming was too tender
hearted even to kill a chicken, much
less fig'ht the Germans. The finish
ing touches were added to her disil
lusionment when she learned he had
a wife and two children living, and
wras a “dope fiend” in addition.
The girl said she last saw her ro
mantic lover at Jet, two weeks ago.
Meanwhile she heard he was in jail
at Enid, and started afoot from Jet
to comfort him. The love-sick Juliet
insisted upon viewing all the prison
ers in the county jail, a privilege the
sheriff granted her. The quest prov
ed futile, however, and penniless she
poured her tale of woe to Mrs. Braw
ner. The latter purchased a ticket
to the girl’s home town.
Yakamik Bird Described
As Efficient Sheep Herder
HUSUM, Wash., Mar. 4.—A South
i American bird, called the yakamik, is
just as efficient a sheep herder as
. the collie, declares August Boeller,
owner of large flocks near here.
, A cousin shipped two young yak
amiks to Boeller last summer from
Venezuela, and now that they have
matured they are inseparable from
the sheep. They are a sort of crane,
long domesticated, and show
marked faithfulness and intelli
> ence regarding sheep herding.
> During the day the long-legged birds
i w-obble around the edge of the sheep
r bands, remaining with them until
darkness falls. Then they seek high
roosting places. Like geese, these
cranes eat forage along with the
sheep. They will attack eagles, coy
otes and foxes, beating them off
with their powerful wings. They
disdain dogs and have kept Boeller’s
collies in a state of fear for weeks.

Kansan Never Rides Street Car Or
Auto and Fishes Daily In
the Summer.
WICHITA, Kansas, Mar. 4.—Walk
ing on his hands across his front
yard would be a difficult task for al
most any man of 50 years, but S. N.
Ferguson, who has just celebrated
his ninetieth birthday, can outdis
tance any boy in his neighborhood
when performance of this feat is
the pastime.
The aged man has no hard and
fast rules lor preservation of his
health, except walking. He never
rides a street car or automobile.
During the summer months he
never misses a day walking to and
from the river, where he fishes.
Ferguson is from a family of 11
children and also is the father of
11 children, outliving all of them
except two.
Two of the “Dalton Boys”
of Oklahoma Still on Deck
ONE OF THESE WENT STRAIGHT
AFTER SERVING TIME — THE
OTHER ALWAYS HAS BEEN A
PEACEFUL FARMER
KINGFISHER, Okla., Mar. 4.—Two
yet remain of the famous “Dalton
boys” of Oklahoma, who, as a family
bandit gang, terrorized the South
west in the early '90s. Their moth
er, Mrs. Adeline Dalton, died at
Kingfisher recently at 92 years of
age.
There were nine boys and three
girls in the family. Among those
who became notorious as early-day
desperadoes were Emmett, Grat,
Bill and Bob. The gang first be
came notorious through their rob
bery of a Santa Fe train in 1891
at Red Rock. From then on the
boy conducted a reign of terror
over Oklahoma and Southern Kan
sas, which did not end until the
gang was virtually wiped out in a
raid on twp banks in Coffeyville,
Kan., a year or two later. In this
raid, Emmett was captured, Grat
and Boy were killed.
Bill Dalton jointed a new gang
organized by Bill Doolan, after the
Coffeyville raid. He was killed by
officers in a raid on a farmhouse
near Ardmore, Ok., in 1894. Em
mett served time in the Federal
penitentiary and then “went
straight.” He is in the motion-pic
ture theater business in Missouri.
Ben Dalton, the oldest son, now 70,
was of an entirely different stripe.
He has been a peaceable farmer in
the vicinity of Kingfisher ever since
his youth. One daughter is dead,
and another lives in Arkansas.
