they had $23.45 of the money that
was taken from the store. Bert
Wright and the two Vanlandingham
boys are ones who did the pilfering
says the Cestro Reporter. Th v
made a complete confession as soon
as found. Arrangements have been
made to send Bert and the oldest

ENID'S GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
The committee on the entertain,
ment of Secretary Hitchcock, tried
to secure help to whitewash the old
land office building this morning so
that the secretary would be proud
of the Enid government building
but they failed, everybody was
afraid to go near the old thing fear-
ing that it would fall on them. The
secretary was petitioned to have
the dear old thing moved to Klng-
' fisher where it belongs. He was in-
formed that the citizens feared that
it would blow over some time and
' kill a number of our valuable dogs
who are in the habit of loafing be-
neath its timber shade or sui shine.
BILL, WITH OVERHAULS.
The Hon. William Cross, delegate
elect to congress from Oklahoma
City was in the city yesterday sell-
ing goods like a harvest hand w irker,
as he has ever been.
He carried several samples of
overhauls, union made, under his
arm. Pat Armstrong met him re-
marking: "Bill, I see you still deal
:n overhauls—give me a pair." "With
pleasure." Answered Bill, and with
in the space of a lambs .tail your
Uncle Bill Cross had those over-
hauls on Pat, and he, Pat, looKed all
dressed up too. Up to date 890 votes
have been found that should have
been counted for Bill Cross, but the
ciuel republican citizens will refuse
to count them. No doubt of this,
but the honest people of both par.
ties wlU al«ay believe, and believe
truthfully, that the Hon. BUI Cross
was counted out of hU seat in con.
fre<s.

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT
Cordell and Cloud Chief put on the
Gloves.
The old county seat light between
the town of Cordell and Cloud Chief,
hi Washita county, has been renewed
and GovernorFergusou has been ask-
e'l to lo ik up the records in the case.
The governor, in turn, placed the
papers in the bands of the attorney
general and he has looked the matter
up. A petition signed by many
persons was presented to the interior
department asking that the records
of the county be returned to Cloud
Chief and that Cloud Chief be de-
clared the county seat of Washita
county. The petitioners aver that
the county seat removal election was
illegal and that many people believ-
ing it to be illegal diit not vote, and
consequently the supporters of Cor-
dell secured enough vott1.- to K'.'.ure
the removal of the county seat to
that town. The records of the
county were moved to Cordell by
order of the county commissioner-
and the books have remained there
ever since that time.
The attorney general has written
to Cornell to secure the records in
the matter and will submit them to
the interior department when a re-
reply is received to the request.
For years there has been a county
seat tight on .in Washita countv.
Once it got into the courts, owin^ to
the fact that one ju-lge attempted
to hold court in Cloud Cniet and an-
other judtre held o urt in f ordell.
Judges Irwin and McAtee were the
men and McAtee was at Cloud Chief
while Irwin was at Cordell. It was
Irwin's district and he threatened
to tend the sheriff after McAtee if
lie did not adjourn court immedi-
ately. The affair blew over, how-
ever, but the episode is a matter of
history in Washita county.
Cordell has made a remarkable
grc#wth during the past few years,
having secured a railroad, while
Cloud Chief is still much the same
as it was several years ago.
It is hard to predict the outcome
of the matter, but it is hardly likely
that any change in the county seat
will be made at this time.

Teddy Crawfishing
When President Roosevelt was
about to leave on his western trip he
was called on by a delegation of the
prominent members of his party and
was compelled to revise his tariff
and "trust busting, speeches to be
delivered on the trip, or take the
consequence of drfeat or attempt
at defeat in the next republican
national convention. The revision
was made at their dictation, and,
inasmuch as he had not time to re-
write all hi6 speeches he used some
of the warmed-over speeches that
were satisfactory to the tariff barons
The speech that he delivered at
Minneapolis on Aptil 4 is almost ver-
batim the speech delivered by sec-
retary of War Root at Cooper Union,
New York, last October. If any m?n
doonts it let him get them and mane
the comparison. This simply shows
how the President is oeing domina-
ted by the trust interest of the
country and what a hollow mockery
is all this hue and cry adout"busting
the trusts."
