JUNIORS WON THE MEET
And W. Abbott is Again All 'Round
Ithlete of High School—Inter-
esting Exercises on Friday
The second annual inter-class track
meet, which was held on Boyd Field,
Friday, was in a way a repetition of
the meet last year—both meets being
won by the class of '17 and the all
'round honors going to W. Abbott, of
the same class, in both meets.
The meet was well attended and the
contestants seemed bent on winning
for their respective classes, but, due
t'> the ability of Abbott, and Davis '16,
the meet soon narrowed between sen-
ior; and juniors with the juniors soon
widening their margin. The N. H. S.
track team will be composed of the
winners of this meet and we look for-
ward to a successful showing for it
at the meet in Norman and at Still-
water where the track team, tennis
team and baseball team go next week.
During the same time the Norman
baseball team clashed with that of
Lexington and won by a score of 9-0.
The following is a list of winners in
the events, in first second and third.
The number after each name is the
class—'16 Seniors, '17 Juniors, '18
' Sophomores, '19 Freshmen.
I 100-yard dash. Abbott '17, Foster
J '16, Vincent '16. Time 10.2 sec.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
At the city council meeting last
night a resolution was passed in
structing the city's attorneys to ap
peal the McCormn k case to the U. S.
Circuit court. It will be taken to the
court of last resort before our people
will be satisfied This is the case
wherein F. E. M.Cormick secured a
judgment in the U. S. district court
for $79,000 against the city for the
Main afreet paving Judge Cotteral
is expected to enter the judgment of
record tomorrow. Attorney Ralph
Hardie and Judge J. H. Burford are
representing the city's interests.
The matter of paving on Peters
avenue was deferred, as those in favor
of it have not yet secured the neces-
sary half of the property owners to
their petition. It is said they have
48 Va per cent of them. One or two
withdrew their names after signing.
An ordinance prohibiting livery
automobiles and jitneys to make their
stands within fifty feet of the Intel-
urban station was placed on first
reading. The drivers wrangle too
much over prospective patrons, and
fight for positions on the line too
strenuously, it is charged.
GOWI.SBY SCHOOL ON PICNIC
The Gowlsby school of McClain
county came to Norman in full force
this morning (some 70 of them) and
took a special car on the Interurban
for Oklahoma City, where they will
spend the day picnicing in Wheeler
f'ark and Belle Isle. Miss Grace
J Foster is the teacher, and the trip is
being financed with money raised by
! entertainments held in the district the
past winter. The car cost them $30
for round trip. They'll get home this
i evening, tired but happy. Miss Foster
is giving fine satisfaction as teacher
to both patrons and pupils.

good works; a good citizen, and de-
voted father. Mrs. Wynne preceded
him into the BeyomK dying some years
ago. The surviving children are five

whom resides here. To them will go
out the sincere sympathies of the
community.
ELECTION CROOKS, BEWARE
Oklahma City, May 26.—A letter
isued by Charirman Arthur H. Gies-
sler of the Republican State Com-
mittee suggests that each county
chairman promptly secure affidavits
the event of any precinct
gistrar's failure or refusal to
gister any lawful voters. In his let-
ter in which he outlines the plan for
taking these affidavits, Chairman
Giessler says; "Please send the affi
davits to the Republican State Com-
mittee, if the local authorities will
not give proper attention to them
If it be found that the state authori-
ties will, as usual, connive at
violations of the right of suffrage,
then these affidavits will, at the pro-
per time, be submitted to the Federal
authorities."
That these affidavits will be sub-
mitted to the Federal authorities at
