Tuesday the city primary election
to nominate candidates for the city
and school board officers was held.
The contest was tame and only about
one-half of the voters in the city went
to the polls.
There was practically no contest
on the republican candidates for the
nomination and on the democratic
side only the offices of city clerk, po-
lice judtje, city marshal and street
commissioner were contested. For
the office of city clerk J. E. Hurry
won over Alex Clement, the present
incumbent, by 32 majority. For city
marshal Graham won over Burch by
57 majority. For police judge Hart-
ley won over Linton by a majority
of 40, and for street commissioner
W. P. Siielton won easily over bis
five competitors. The highest vote
polled by any of the democratic can-
didates who had no opponent was
Dr. Davis, candidate for mayor. His
vote was 260.
All of the old members and offic-
ers of the school board were renomi-
nated without opposition save R. E.
Leach and his opponent in the elec-
tion will be E. R. Chastain, unless
Attorney General West's ruling
knocks them both out.
The candidates nominated are as

Arthus R. Wolfe, for the past year
principal of the Norman high school,
has accepted a scholarship in the
Chicago University law school and
will leave Norman soon after the
present school year closes to take up
his studies. Mr. Wcife has made an
enviable record as an efficient high
school teacher and many Norman
people will regret that his services
will not be continued. However, they
at the same time wish him all kinds
of success in his new work.
Mr. Wolfe is a graduate of the Uni-
versty here, having finished with the
class of 1908. While at the Universitv
he won the admiration of both his
teachers and his fellow students as
a hard working young man. His pres-
ence in Norman for the past several
years and his influence for good will
be greatly missed.

I Mayor John E. Millar was called
to Guthrie Tuesday afternoon to at-

The Norman city council held an '
adjourned meeting last night. Six
members of the council were pres-
ent. Councilman Gittinger acted as
president in the absence of the may-
or. The report of the city engineer,
as to the latteral water mains ajid
where needed was received and his
estimate on cost. The report called
for something over $6,000, to be ex-
pended in putting in 4-inch latterals
on streets designated in his report.
The water committee was instructed
to go over tlie report of the city en-
gineer and report on recommenda-
tions at regular meeting next Tues-
day night. Some discussion also arose
over some trouble with parties who
had not connected with city sewers
as now required, they having been
permitted to connect before present
rules were adopted. This discussion
caused Councilman Bobo to remind
the council that he had warned them
that such trouble was likely to arise,
and that to avoid such he had op-
posed permitting any one attaching
to the sewer until it was completed
and ready to use. It somewhat sur-
prised some that Dr. Bobo did not
see that such sound judgment w;i<

nectons being maae with the water

Officials of the state insane asylum
estimate the total loss of the disas-
trous fire Sunday at between $75,000
and $80,000. That no inmates were
injured was due the remarkable con-
trol exercised by the guards
The fire broke out shortly after the
non meal in the laundry. Efforts were
made to keep the inmates in ignor-
ance of the threatened danger but a
woman, looking out of the window
of her room, saw the blaze and gave
the alarm.
"We're burning to death," she
shrieked. Immediately the patients
were thrown into confusion. They
were hurried from their rooms out
of the path the fire threatened to take
The guards pleaded with them to
preserve order and after the first
alarm they did

account of the strong wind the de-
