June 14, 1935 Whether a woman spectator‘s theft of the ball from Tudor Williams, their left fielder, is sufficient ground for protesting their 6 to 9 loss to the Higgs-Gypsy team yesterday afternoon will be directed today by the Noe Brothers softballers Elzie Snyder, Higgs-Gypsy, and Clark Craig.

Noe Brothers had been engaged in a tight pitcher’s duel until the sixth inning. Snyder had granted one hit and Craig had been touched for two in the first five innings. When the Gypsies came to bat in the sixth, things began to pop. Noe Brothers errors and several vigorously protested decisions by Umpire Romeo Settle, George Dennison and Cecil O’Kelley already had the crowd in an uproar when with the bases loaded a Gypsy batter sent a hit into left field. Williams started racing toward the ball with the crack of the bat, but the unidentified woman spectator beat him to it. When she reached the ball the woman just sat on it. The embarrassed Williams called for help. Seeing she was outnumbered, the nonchalant Gypsy fan picked up the ball and hurled it as far as she could throw. Even then she wasn’t through. When Williams started running to retrieve the ball, she tripped him.

Mrs. Bud Trimble was very pleasantly honored at a party and gift shower in the home of Mrs. Carl Twibel, Pure Oil lease on Wednesday afternoon.

June 15, 1935

Two men, believed to be hot bandits from Louisiana or Texas, escaped from city police last night through a hail of pistol shots. The men were first jumped up when Officers Butch LaCroix and High Reynolds frustrated their attempts to break into the Oklahoma Tire and Supply Company. This time the men made their escape on foot in the dark.

Later the two officers, who in the meantime had been joined by Charley Reynolds, found their quarry in a 1934 Chrysler sedan parked with its motor running at the rear of the National Supply company. As the officers drove up, the bandit car sped away, and the officers, with Charley Reynolds driving, started in hot pursuit. Several times, as the cars twisted around city streets, the officers got within firing distance. Hugh Reynolds emptied his gun twice, without apparent effect. Finally the bandits made their way to Highway 270 and their auto outdistanced the slower police car.

When Seminole’s most illustrious daughter, the former Faye Livingston, now Mrs. Russell I. Dicks of Boston, Mass., appears in concert here Monday evening under the auspices of the Eastern Star chapter, she will sing a program of English numbers including many of the old familiar songs.

County officers today were investigating the death of Simon Fish, 91 years old, and one of the oldest members of the Seminole tribe, found lying face down in a pool of water late Saturday afternoon near Wewoka. Fish died 30 minutes after he was found by Deputy Sheriff Grover Harris. Johnny Bowlegs, sitting beside Fish, was unable to tell how the two got there. The officers are looking for two white men Fish was seen drinking with earlier in the afternoon. The men are believed to have put Fish out of their car at the spot where he was found and to have stolen his shoes.
