DRANK HORSE MEDICINE.
(Oklahoma Press Service.)
Stigler. Okla., May 28.—Mistaking
hor*e medicine for whiskey Isaac
Richardson and wife drank mixture
as tody at breakfast this morning
and for two hours they were threat-
ened with death. Antidotes saved
their lives.
Frank Monieal has been confined
to his home since Sunday seriously
ill with rheumatism of the heart, lie
is out and about again today, but
looks considerable the worse from
bis seige.
WHY NOT PAVE ALLEYS?
The alleys in blocks 5, 6, 13 and
14 should be paved. They are almost
impossible a goodly portion of the
year and they are so flat that tin
water running off of the buildings
into the alleys dors not drai'i off
and all work in attempting to drain
same is largely labor lost. These al-
leys w e believe should be paved with
brick because of the nature of the
traffic ami in many of the cities
where asphalt paving i^ used, they
use brick in paving alleys because
of it- greater durability and also be-
cause ii is some cheaper. We believe
it the matter was taken up with the
property owners abutting on alleys
above mentioned, that these allc\s
could be paved and the expense tax
ed up against the property owners.
We believe few if any of the proper-
ty owners would object to the pav-
ing of these alleys at this time, be-
fore they incur expense in making
water and sewer connections. It is
only a question of a short time until j
•Mich alleys must be- paved and why j
delay now? Why not fix up these j
alleys right and permanently and j
not have to tear up all along the al !
leys, when paving is ordered, as will
be the case if water and sewerage j
mnections are made before pav- ;
ing. The expense tr property owners •
would, perhaps, not be to exceed $50 .
per lot and it could be arranged to j
have same paid for in ten yearly i
installments or about $5 per year. ;
This is a matter we believe council
should take up at this time and f
alleys are paved the sewer connec
tions will be made without notice o
compulsn m.

Muskogee, Okla., May 28.—An-
nounced authoratively here this after
noon Governor Haskell and the five
Muskogee citizens indicted last night
by grand jury at Tulsa, will make
motion to have indictments quashed
on grounds of improper influence on
jury. Each gave $5,(MM) bond here this
afternoon.
In yesterday's Oklahoma I'ity pa-
pers appeared an article sent in from
Norman that we term a "journalistic
outrage." The article said that a
powerful, dangerous inmate of the
asylum had escaped from the asy-
lum here naked and was making his
way towards Oklahoma City, that
armed guards were out looking for
him and that within all probability
a fight would result when he was
found and an attempt at capture
made His name was given as John
Be rd wick.
We interviewed Dr. A. T Clark
this morning abo.it the story and he
iiu 'nicd us sonu-thipg like this:
"There is only one truth in the
story: a man escaped."
It appears that a man by the name
of John Hardwickc escaped from the
asylum Wednesday night, lie was a
small man (not powerful) and not
considered at all dangerous. He was
very talkative. No armed guards are
looking for him and no special ef-
fort is being made to catch him, as
he is not considered violent or dan-
gerous.
All winter Norman people have
been reading just sensational stories
as these, sent in by a bundi of cor
respondents who call themselves stu-
dents in the school of journalism at
the University. It is a standing joke
that several papers, for whom these
"kids" arc corresponding, cannot get
a thing right. There has been scarce-
ly a news item sent out at Norman
this winter that has been correct.
Such does not reflect with very much
credit upon the school of journalism
at jhe University. Readers want the
truth about things that are happen-
ing and not yellow journalistic sen-
sations. If the school cannot turn
out better products than some that
are now trying to make their living
by reporting for out of town papers,
the regents better discontinue that
phase of the school's work and let
the would-be journalists get their
training under newspaper men in
newspaper offices.
Tulsa, Okla., May 28.—The federal
grand jury tonight returned indict-
ments against Governor l\ N. Has
kell and five other defendants in the
Muskogee town lot fraud cases. The
other defendants indicted are: F. B
Severs, W. T. Hutchins, C. \Y. Tur-
ner, A. 7. English and W. R. Eaton,
all of Muskogee. In each case bond
was fixed at $5,000, to be approved
by United States Commissioner lly-
ams at Tulsa.

Abeline, Texas, May 28.—After
an hour's desperate attempt last
night a mob armed with shot guns
and revolvers, broke down doors of
jail here early this morning and shot
Tom Harnett dead in his cell. Harnett
had been convicted of killing A.
Sears,, a prominent cattleman of
West Texas, some time ago. He was
trying to get a new trial.
After the shooting of Barnett the
mob proceeded home and all is now
quite here. No arrests will be made.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid-
neys,
Norman people endorse this:
Mrs. T. J. Nolan, 401 E. Tonkawa
Street, Norman, Oklahoma, says:
"I have great faith in Doan's Kid-
ney Pills, as they proved of great
benefit to me over a year ago. I suf-
fered from dull pains in my back and
hips and at times dizzy spells came
over me. When 1 became convinced
that my trouble was due to disorder-
ed kidneys I procured a box of Doans
Kidney Pills at C A. Stauber's drug
store and begun their use. My con-
dition soon improved and before long
I was entirely relieved. Doan's Kid-
ney Pills acted just as represented in
my case and I believe them to be the
best kidney renjedy I ever used."
For sale by all dealers. Proce 50

Norman has a new cigar factory.
Mr. A. Lewis has purchased proper-
ty here and expects to build up a
good business here. He has been
making cigars for thirty five years,
knows the business thoroughly, and
has opened up in a small way over
Fred Reed's drug store. Later 011 he
will enlarge his plant. He will put
two good brands of cigars on the
market here in about two weeks one
to be known as "Oklahoma Star''
and the other "Norman No. 1." He
will put other brands on the market
later. At present he will push most-
ly "Norman No. 1." Mr. Lewis in-
forms us that this cigar will be equal
to or better than any cigar that will
come to Norman Mr. Lewis is a
very pleasant man to talk to and
will make a valuable citizen here.
He will build up a good industry
here and industries are what Nor-
man needs. His products will be
clean and sanitary and 110 doubt he
will do a good business here.
