25 Years Ago:

A crucial base running mistake in the top of the seventh-inning and controversial call at first base on the final out of the game ended a thrilling comeback bid by the Henryetta Knights here Tuesday during a 5-4 loss to the Okmulgee Bulldogs.

A crucial base running mistake in the top of the seventh-inning and controversial call at first base on the final out of the game ended a thrilling comeback bid by the Henryetta Knights here Tuesday during a 5-4 loss to the Okmulgee Bulldogs.

Henryetta trailed 5-0 entering the top of the seventh before producing four runs to make the closing moments of the game interesting. “We finally showed a little fire,” Henryetta coach Bucky Ewton said.

New Lodge Organized

Community Council No. 3609, Security Benefit Association, was organized here last night at Buchanan hall with seventeen new members. A number of old members were present.

--- 100 Years Ago: Morgan Tonight

Hal Kiter’s “Live, Laugh and Love Revue” is called the wonder show of Miniature Musical Comedy. There is a good reason for this as more money is invested in scenery and costumes and talent than any organization of its kind on tour. A cast of talented musical comedy starts and a chorus of youthful maidens who sing and dance in perfect unison.

Billy Allen, the producer who presents Hal Kiter and his company, has produced shows for twenty years, and has kept pace with the times – sailing under the motto “give value received,” as he knows the public has come to a stage in theatricals where they refuse to patronize anything but first-class entertainment. You are getting a show of merit when you see one of Billy Allen’s attractions in his proud slogan.

“Live, Laugh and Love,” with Hal Kiter, opens at the Morgan Theatre tonight for a week’s engagement. Several changes of play will be the policy on the week’s program in connection with a first class feature picture.

--- 200 Barrels Per Hour Last Well Report

Another big well came in late Saturday evening when the Lyons Petroleum Company struck the sand at 2,716 feet in 24-11-11 and had a well said to be flowing at the rate of 200 barrels per hour. If this is correct, it is easily the largest well yet found in the Quinn or Lyons pool.
