„ni'' Simmons. 16-year old negro boy,

after taking him from the county
jail where he was held on a chargfi

old white girl, near Cogar. He wa^
believed to have criminally as«H,uirert
the girl either before or "after thet
murder, by cutting her throat. Hei^
body was found by her parents Tues-j
day night. It was covered wi'h knif^
wounds and blood. The body had
been carried to a clump of bushes
in an effort to conceal the crime.
Nearly all members of the mob werq
from the town of Coger and vicinity.
The prisoner was rushed to the jail
before tte news of the tragedy ha^
been widly circulated.
When tak9n from the jail, the black
brute bagged and prayed for mercy
—but his prayers fell np^n deaf ears.
The mob only proceeded faster to
carry their plans into affect.

'Poor Have Lost
Greatest Friend'
"In the death of Elmer Houghton,
the pror and oppressed have lost
their greatest friend. I don't believe
there are any two men in Oklahoma
who have done as much for the un-
fortunate and poverty stricken than
he. Elmer Hough on didn't know how
to say no when one in trouble came
to him for assistance."
This was the high tribute which
Louis Kirker. prominent and well-
known attorney, paid to his old lime
friend, wh#1 died suddenly yester-
day. from apoplexy.
Houghton's funeral will be held at
2 o'clock tomorrow aft-rnoon frorrt
tie residence, corner 12th and Hud-
son streets. The body will be taken
to Hugtiesvitle, Fa., to be laid beside
those of his mother and fattier. This
was his request only a few days ago
— when he did not then have any idea
that he would bp stricken.
Houghton left a fortune to his three
brothers and two sisters ihere. Ho
was age 52. According to the state-
ment of Attorney Kirtcer, Houghton
made all of his fortune after return-
ing from the Spanish American war.
He lost most of hi's possessions ir>
the Tripple Creek gold exeitment, in
1897. Returning here from the war
he again engaged in the restaurant
business, investing the profits in real
state. Vie left a heavy life insurance
—exceeding over $100,000.
"There is absolutely no evidence in
tjiis case on which to convict this
merchant of the charge under thf
ordinance. He is conducting a reli-
able busines here—the same as all
other reliable merchants. The charge
is not supported. If you convict this
merchant, you will simply be placing
another tax upon his business—you
know that double taxation has been
held illegal by all the cour s. H.re's

the trial of D. T. Dewell, before Police
Judge Price today.
"I don't care where people come
from—it has nothing to do with this
case." replied Judge Price as he soak-
ed a fine onto the merchant.
"I thought it might have some bear-
ing on the case. Oklahoma City peo-
ple want all the good citizens to come
here and invest- their money that we
can get." replied the attorney.
Evidence of W. I,. Walker, wire
was not supported by any other wit
ness, was on which the judge found
Dewell guilty. Dewell was charged
with "deceptive advertising," because
he placed some signs on $7.50 suits,
in his show window. There was no
evidence that the signs were "decep-
tive," both Dewell and l is son swear-
ing that they sold these suits for $7.50
and that tiiey would be glad to sell
more at this price offered. Dewell
will appeal the case.
Walker swore that Dewell charged
him $10 for a suit after he entered
the store. After he paid the money
and left the store he wanted his
money back, telling Dewell that he
didn't intend to buy a suit when he
entered the place. The suit had been
altered and Dewell refused to taxe
it back. The suit Walker bought was
not one like those on display in the
window- -it being a h'gher price piece
of goods. Dewell owns two stores
here.

On motion of Assistant County
Attorney John W. Choate, Justice T.
F. Donnell, dismissed the charge of
obtaining money under false preten-
ses, against T. E Robertson, today.
Robertson Is the man who got $25<!
to go to Washington, believing than
he would get a position under the
new secreary of the interior. He
charged a political conspiracy—claim,
ing Senator Gore was behind the
charges because Robertson was a,
witness in the senate scandal. Sam
Hooker and Ross N. Ullard defended
Robertson.
In asking to have the case dismiss-
ed, Prosecutor Choate said in part:
"I don't believe under the evidence,
that Robertson was given the money
under the pretense of getting the
job— but that it was because several
persons went on his note,"
"I am glad you dimissed the case',"
said Justice Donnellj "for I had al
ready practically made up my mind
fo turn him loose unle'ss more evi-
dence was produced—because it look-
ed to me from all the testimony so
far, that it might be a frame-up on
the boy."
