On A Raft.
f,ast Jfoncjay fovj young men of
Dover. Gus Ruth, Jtalpti Hill.
Smith Blair and Glenn l.illibridge
decided to organize an exploration
p.,rty, and while the Cimarron
river was up to ride it's turbulent
waters as far as (iuthrie. Starting
out by constructing a riift from the
left oyer bridge timbers, at the
railroad bridge, they launched at
bout three o'clock p. m., and
went floating merrily down the
stream to the tune of''Sixteen men
on a dead man's chest, Yo Ho and
a bottle of rum-" Everything ran
smoothly, excepf the raft, until the
first bridge was reached, where there
was some minor trouble, but none
to apeak of- The high water only
like a few inches of being up to the
bridge girders, and tnere not being
enough space to pass under, the
boys jammed dovyn the starboard
pendiddlum, broke the wampus
anil tha raft, turr,ed over. After
running a cable to the shore and
borne hard work, she passed safely
under and the boys once more
boarded her proceeded down the
river, the friendly natives rylining
along either side asking if they
were shipwrecked, where they wore
from and if any thing could lie done
to help them. Hut trouble was
wating for tncin with a big stick
J at the Gould bridge, about sixteen
knots down- They succeeded in
running the bridge all right but
some of the natives took them for
gentlemen of color and thought the
Jong poles they had with which to
guide the raft, were automatic guns,
iOne of the natives ran to a tele-
phone and wired to she Sherlock
I Holmes clan in Kingfisher (No.
I i'auline it wad not Sam Kartell and
the famous ISartcll Detectives and
i amalgyinated Man Hunters) that
I nigro niurclorfer> Hunter, wasgoing
down tho Cimarron river on a raft.
The manhunters from Kingfisher
cautiously approached the river and
in n (Jonah Doyle tone of voice, told
our brave explorers to HALT! Not
being able to hilt tho fast floating
raft, our boys told them so and
were commanded by Sherlock
Holmes and bin aides to either stop
the^raft or a bullet- Then the boys,
seeing that they were.trapped asked
for a rope, which was thrown them
and they were pulled to the shore-
promptly arrested, charged with
eyerything hut smuggling and car-
ried over land to Kingfisher. On
arriving at Kingfisher, it is said the
officers discovered that it was not
the notorious A If Hunter that they
had captured and it was decided
not to place them in jail, but in-
stead to deport thetn, which wa
promptly done. The boys arrived
home 011 a stock train about nine
o'clock the next morning, a sadder
and wiser, but u"daunted crew.

If George McNaught is not guilty
his accusers will feel ptotty bud. If

At any rate he is back now to f^ee

way to get the facts now. In the
meantime it is charity to reserve
sentence.
The train which bore Sheriff
Tate and his prisoner was late Sat
urday nighr of course, but the fact
did not keep a large crowd from
waiting until nearly twelve o'clock
to get a glimpse of the prisoner.
There was no demonstration. Just
a crowd of curiosity seekers. As
soon as the train pulled in the sher-

bars. No one was allowed to see
him and so far MeKnaught has not
made a statement.
This morning George MeKnaught
was brought before Judge Graham
to answer the serious charge of
murder. He looked more confident
and assured. However he was
very much occupied in conversation
with his attorney, J- P. Cummins
and T- P. Whistler, and they talked
in low tones and seemed to think
every thing was all right- George
rea l and re-read the bill of infor-
mation .which we print below :
Thelcourt and prisoner were ready
at 11 o'clock, but County {Attorney
Hinch did not show up, and at 12
o'clock Judge Graham adjourned
court until 1:30 this afternoon
Promptly on the dot all concerned
were present and the defendant
entered a plea of not guilty and
asked for a speedy trial. The court
said he would set any day the
counsel might agree on. Hinch
was willing for the time to be after
the Fourth—set for any time after
the Fourth. Mr. Whistler wanted
a speedy trial and asked with much
j persistance for July 2nd, but the
| court granted the usual eight days
for the state to prepare and set it
for July 7 th.
No. being a bailable case, Mr.
MeKnaught was remanded back to
jail wait, until his preliminary trial
should come off.

and had a few words, but as his at-

Young Man!
Young Woman
Young man, young woman, have
you the money you need? If you
have not? Bo you want a good
home, supplied with good books,
beautiful pictures, rich carpets,
warmth and light, education, whole-
some food, social culture, pleasant
companions, broad development of
your Iacuities, to travel and see
some of tho beautiful places of this
old earth of ours, to learn about
different people of different countries;
in short, do you want to live a
successful life and enloy it? If you
do, you must launch out, get up and
hustle and push) prepare to do some-
thing the world wants done and do
it do it better and do it quicker
Ulan the other fellow; the world is
full ol opportunities for those who
have the ambition and are prepared
to grasp them. It is said that op-
portunity knocks at every man's
door, but you must not wait for it to
kick tha panels in. You must be
ready to open the door and grasp
opportunity as it approaches Make
a gacrillse it necessary, that you
may give yourself the practical
education that will lay the founda-
tion ot a great and successful future
for you. Thousands of young men
and woman that were only a few
years ago in the same position as
yourself are today cashiers of banks,
owners of progressive business enter-
prises of their own, or holding high
Government positions; they are
living the life you would like to live
aud the life you can live, if you will
enter the Capital City Business
College of Guthrie, Okla., and take
their thorough practical courses of
Bookkeeping and Business Training
or Shorthand and Typewriting; they
will give you the education that will
enable you to hold a good position
and advance; they will get the
position tor you, if necessary. If
you have not- read their catalog,
write for it, it contains 168 pages,
explaining their modern systems and
superior methods of teaching the
practical work tho business world
demands, also indorsements and
statements from graduates and their
employers which speak for them
selves. What thousands of others
bave done, you can do; a thorongU
business trainiug in one ot America's
most progressive commercial colleges
is none too good for you. and it is
I worth making a sacrifice to obtain.
