WAS GREATLY ENJOYED BY
IN ATTENDANCE.
THOSE
Colonel Ham was greeted at the
opera house Friday evening by a small
but very intelligent audience. Not
a number on the course, which has
been an unusually interesting one, was
more enjoyed than this lecture. The
"Snollygoster in Politics" was his
theme and he handled his subject with
eloquence and beauty. Saturday night
he lectured on "Old Days in Dixie"
and he struck with a master hand all
the chords on the lute of the south.
This was colonel Hams first visit to
Pauls Valley but ii hoped will not be
the last. •

SEVEN TO FIVE.
The Jim Moorehead murder trial
resulted in a hung jury, seven of the
jurors standing for conviction ^nd five
for acquittal. The jury was out for
several days trying to reach an agree-
ment.
Moorehead killed his employer,
Frank McMinneman, a
stock man, near Wynnewood last Ju-
ly. He plead self defense and claimed
that McMinneman was advancing up-
on him with a Winchester when he
ran under the gun and cut McMinne-
man's throat with a pocket knife. The
case was contested hard by able attor-
neys an each side.
fore Judge Townsend yesterday, enter-
ing a plea of not guilty. He will prob-
ably have some time in jail to think it
over.
IMPROVING THEIR PLANT.
TROUBLE IN DARKTOWN.
Last week Jim Pearson, a negrr, pro-
ceeded to fill up on booze and started
out looking for trouble. He found it
late at night in the person of his wife,
who had already retired, and objected to
being distured by her drunken husband.
In the fight that followed Jim was
landed on several times with chairs,
rolling pin, etc, and in the fierceness of
the struggle he succeeded in carving
his wife pretty severely with a razor.
The grand jury indicted the negro for
assault to kill and he was arraigned be-
Messrs. Hightower & McMahan are
materially improving their bottling
prominent works plant by adding new machinery.
A crown machine has been installed
and is in working order, also a new
engtne and boiler. A distilling tank
with a capacity of 250 gallons per day
has been purchased and is on the road
1 from Boston, Mass. These gentlemen
: are enjoying a good business and when
the new machinery is all in working
order they will have a bottling works
plant second to none in the Indian
Territory, and their output will be as
fine as money can buy.
B. M. Wallace and D. W. Koontz have
been summoned to serve on the petit jury
at Pauls Valley court and will serve next
week in that sleepy old town.—Lindsay
News.
We can excuse you, Trillingham, for this
sally, because we know fhat wind-jamming
is out of your line. Take a day off and
come down to the "sleepy old town" and
we will meet you at the train with an auto-
mobile. A few hours here will open your
Sleepy eyes and the next tine you write of
us it will not be from hearsay.—Pauls Val-
ley Sentinel.
The editor of the News accepted the in-
vitation. Monday afternoon he washed the
ink off his face, put on a clean shirt and
otherwise disguised himself, then, dusting
up his Santa Fe pass, took the train for
that burg. But wasn't met by any auto-
mobile, unless a nigger with a push cart
passes for such a vehicle at Pauls Valley.
The first thing of course, was to hunt up
Brother Wilson of tht Sentinel. After a
search of over two hours the editor of that
republican journal was found blowing a
bass drum at a democratic rally. It must be
admitted that the people who attended that
convention and listened to the abuse the
politicians heaped upon each other didn't
get "sleepy" till late at night.—Lindsay
News.
Trillingham acpepted our invitation
but did not give the date of his com-
ing, hence we were otherwise engaged
as explained by him. He will now
understand that we Pauls Valley fel-
lows are enthusiastic cusses and are
used by all people, regardless of party
or religion, for blowing up enthusiasm.
As for the abuse he speaks of we
haven't a word to say.
LUCKY NUMBER 1059.
The drawing at the Lion Store Mon-
day evening at 5 o'clock for the Free
Round Trip to the World's Fair came
off on time. The lucky number, 1059,
was drawn out by the little five year
old daughter of Mr. A. F. Pyeatt. The
holder of this number will please bring
it in and get the ticket or its value.
The Lion Store.
An Indian Territory exchange com-
ments upon the weakness of man. It
supports its statements by saying "A
quart of whiskey weighs little over a
pound, yet few men can carry it with-
out wobbling.
"What is legal interest" seems to
be a popular theme among the news-
paper boys now. The answer is easy.
It is something they don't know any-
thing about, and they'd better quit
worrying their brains over it The
cashier will figure it when it comes due.
Came to a Close Saturday. As Evidenced by
the Report There Is Something: Doing.

foreman, J. "W. Gaylord, and compli-
mented him very highly. A number

lord stated, in his opinion, that no
more able and competent set of men
could have been selected than the per-
sonnel of this jury, and requested us

vidual members for their absolute fair-
ness and to the Deputy District Attor-
