DOCTORS WORKED WEBB.
Wasn't as Crazy as He I'retrndrd
to Be—When They Prepared
to Bore Into His Brain He
Suddenly Becomes
Sane.
Some months ago one A. L. Webb
"f Fallis, this county, was married
j by County Judge Jarrett and, in his
| application for a license he alleged
| that he had been married but was
then a widower, says the Chandler
I Publicist. Shortly after the marriage
the "dead" wife showed up and Webb
| was arrested, «'harged with bigamy.
j It looked as though the "law" had
the "goods" on him and he stood a
mighty good chance of serving a
term in the penitentiary when he
evolved the happy idea of playing
insane. He was out on bond at the
time and resided at Fallis. The
show started. His business associates
and friend noticed that something was
[ "wrong" with Webb. Signs of insanity
became more pronounced and the
case was reported to the county of-
ficials. He was brought to Chandler
and appeared before the county board
of insanity.. He played the game
strong and, after a thorough exami-
nation, was sent to the asylum at
Norman.
The officials at Norman, after giv-
ing Webb the "once over" came to
the conclusion that he was sham
ming. They decided to have him un-
dergo a test. So, one day, he was
notified that the doctors had decided
j that his "trouble" was caused from
a clot on the brain and that it would
be necessary to remove a section of
the skull in order to eliminate the
"clot."
j Webb was prepared for the oper
ation, taken to the operating room
strapped to the table and the hair
shaved from a small spot on the back
Every Warner's Reducing Corset of his head. Then the surgeon and
is covered by our standard guar- his assistants began to lay out their
I instruments of torture." There was
ugly looking saws, knives aDd what-
not. The climax was reached when
the surgeon picked up a glittering
auger, app-oached the victim and
pressed the sharp point against the
shaved spot, with the evident inten-
tion of boring into his head. Webb
lost his nerve and became "sane
right now, "I was shamming all the
time, for God's sake put those tools
out of my sight and let me up." He
begged like a good fellow and the
operators finally relented. Lincoln
county officials have been notified to
come and get their "crazy" man.

KENDALL, 16; UNIVERSITY, 0.
Sooner or later the inevitable hap-
pens, and last Saturday was the day
it happened.
The big, active Henry Kendall
college team of Tulsa came over and
defeated the "Sooners" of the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma by a score of
16 to 0.
For twenty years the "Sooners"
have been invincible when playing
against the teams of other Oklahoma
colleges, not having suffered a de-
feat in all that time at the hands and
feet of any Oklahoma state school,
and their Saturday defeat was there-
fore all the harder to swallow.
And, too, the defeat bjoke the two-
year all-victorious record of the
Sooners, made by them over all clubs
in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas,
which was another blow.
Still, our boys put up a fine game,
and have nothing to be ashamed of.
The wonder is that the score was not
larger against them.
There was a large attendance, many
being here from Tulsa and Oklahoma
City. ,
As a result of the game many stu-
dents and others who expected to go
to the Texas-Oklahoma game at
Dallas have given up the idea, as they
are at present financially em-
barrassfd.
SEVENTEEN CENT COTTON.
Cotton got up to seventeen cents
per pound today, that price being paid
to Sam Vaughn of Route 4 at noon by
R. C. Berry for a bale of extra good
cotton. Prices ranged today all the
way from $16.45 to $17.00.
Mr. Vaughn says the cotton was
raised from Mebane seed shipped in
by the First National bank. The bale
weighed 542 pounds from 1440
pounds of seed cotton, and brought
Sam $109.33.
GOOD RAINS.
Good rains fell in and around Nor-
man Saturday night and Sunday, and
they were general all over the state,
which greatly pleased the wheat
growers.
KING HALL RECEPTION.
What is declared to have been one
of the most enjoyable occasions ever
held in Norman was the reception
given at King Hall Friday evening.
The thirty young ladies who make
their home there vied with each other
in suggestions for artistic and beau-
tiful decorations, which reflected much
credit upon them. They also vied with
each other in their cordial courtesy
to their guests. Autumn leaves and
vines were principal decorations.
Delicious refreshments were served:
Mrs. Williams of Oklahoma City, a
solist of rare talent, sang several
selections, while an orchestra dis-
coursed fine music. There was an es-
pecially large attendance.
SEES VICTORY FOR HUGHES.
It will be decided on Nov. 7th—
three weeks from tomorrow.
The general impression is that
Hughes will be elected, reports from
every state in the north being to the
effect £hat the tide is turning against
Wilson.
Mr. Jas. J. McGraw, National Com-
mitteeman of Oklahoma, who has been
spending several weeks at Republi
can headquarters in Chicago and New
York, is now in Oklahoma City, re-
turning Saturday, says: '
"There is every probability Hughes
will carry Oklahoma by 10,000. for
the party is united as never before.
In fact, everywhere I've been the 1
election of Hughes seems to be con-,
ceded. The Democratic leaders are
hoping that something will turn up
to save their candidates. There is
perfect harmony in Republican ranks '
in every state, even where the party i
was badly split four years ago. For j
instance, Illinois is claimed for the j
Republicans by 300,000, Iowa by
150,000, and the entire northwest and
Pacific Slope is solid for Hughes." |
California, Oregon and Washington, j
three states in which Mr. Wilson was
thought to have a chance, are now
declared to be sure for Mr. Hughes.1
