Ada Veterinarians Call for Expanded State Lab and Quarantine Plan
Veterinarians urge major expansion of the State Veterinarian’s lab to test blood specimens from all cattle in the state. They propose farmers have local vets collect samples and send them for diagnosis, with infected cattle quarantined and slaughtered. They warn premature culling would waste money unless anaplasmosis is eliminated.

Teenagers Admit Three Area Crimes In Ada Case
Ada Oklahoma City dispatch reports Chief of Police Homer Gosnell said Thursday that one of three district teens confessed to the attempted burglary of Public Finance Corp at 117 East Main Ada along with two other crimes in nearby towns. George Braden Shirley 18 signed a confession Wednesday naming four accomplices including Patricia Davis 16 Peggy Ellis 18 Bill Ellis 25 and Bob Davis 22. The two women and Shirley were jailed with plans to turn the girls and Shirley over to McAlester authorities, while the others remained at large. The group allegedly tied to an armed service station robbery in McAlester earlier in the week and a car theft in Slagle last week. The article notes possible further connections to similar thefts in Oklahoma. The Ellis child with the seven month old baby accompanying her was arrested Tuesday night and the infant is in Child Welfare care.
