court against, the other. The
trial was held Tuesday after-
noon and Tuesday night the
negros reproduced the trial on
the stage in burlesque. It is
said to have been the funniest
thing ever enacted in Davenport
and made such a hit that a re-
petition was demanded Wed-

Dr. W. D. Baird of Newkirk
was in town several days of this
week on professional business.

affairs of the community, being

Chas. Tippey, representing
the Oklahoma Engineering Co.

local mechanics and labors will
be employed as far as possible.

less the women of this commun-
ity take more interest in the
matter of operating the machin
esat the glove factory, it ^ill
be necessary to either employ
outside labor or adopt a plan of
ruuning only certain days in the
Week. There are twenty mach-
ines that should be kept busy as
the company is behind with its
orders. Good wages can be earn-
ed after the operation is learned
and steady employment can be
promised if operators can be
secured.
"The people of Davenport are
too easy" said County Attorney
Jones last Saturday when told
that the people here had put up
money to secure the release
from jail of the man Carr who

enport. After hearing the evi-
dence the commission, in its
order of May 2, ordered the
trains stopped on Hag but the!

Married
Last Tuesday afternoon at Ok-
lahoma City, Rev. J. H- O.
Smith of the Christian church,
pronounced the words that unit-
ed the hearts and lives of Miss
Ada Huddleson and Mr. Otto
Fessenger.
The bride is the daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Huddleson
of this place and, having grown
to womanhood here, has a wide
ciicleof friends, by whom her
many excellent qualities are ap-
preciated, a strong womanly
woman, such as any man may
well be proud to have won.
Mr. Fessenger is well known
to Davenport people, having
spent a number of years here in
the meat business. He is res-
pected as a young man of good
habits, industry, honesty and a
faculty for acquiring friends that
is more than ordinary. At pre
sent he has a nice position in the
meat inspection department of
the civil service at Oklahoma
City. •
The Era takes this occasion to
express, not only its own very
best wishes and most sincere
congratulations, but those of the
many other Davenport friends
of the couple. That success and
happiness may attend them all
the days of their lives is our de
vout wish.
