THE NORTH
Sunday School Convention.
A township Sunday school con-
vention was held fifteen miles
south-east of Lexington at Mount
Zion church on Saturday, May 11.
It was an interesting; and cnthusi
astic gathering of Sunday school
workers. Many come from the
Pottawatomie Co. to take part in
the celebration. Judge Williams
and Rev. Wood of the M. K. church
at Purcell delivered stirring ad-
dresses, each giving a synopsis of
Sunday school work. Many others
made good Sunday school ad-
dresses. Excellent music was fur-
nished by Prof. Randolph of Texas.
The day passed off pleasantly all
feeling that they had added their
mite in helping to push forward a
worthy cause.
Now that the work has begun, let
it be pushed forward with great en-
ergy and zeal. Kach township
president should respond quickly
with a notice in Co. papers, giving
time and place of holding his con-
convention. We desire one con-
vention in each township during
the next four months.
I. M. Litti.e,
M. McCollough, co. Pres.
Secretary.
SUNDAY SCHOOL lMCNIC.
About one hundred members of
the Sunday School of the M. K.

BROKE JAIL.
Ill: GAVE JAILOR .JACKSON
THE DODGE AND MADE
MIS ESCAPE.
He Was In Jail Charged With
Stealing Sheep.
A Sunday afternoon jail delivery
in Norman is becoming as common
as the report that Cervera is bot-
tled.
Chas. Sanders no longer accepts
of the hospitality that lias been ex-
tended him for the past three
months by Jailor. He has
evaporated, or rather he has
gone up into space, the things he
once knew he knows no more, for a
short time at least.
Last Sunday afternoon while
Jailor was down town makingsome
purchase-, Sanders secreted him-
self in such a way as to be over-
looked by the jailor when that offi-
cial would lock the prisoners in
their c< 11 for the night. He suc-
ceeded in evading the officer and
when the great iron doors closed be-
twten the jailor's office and jail
proper, Charley emerged from his
hiding place, removed a window on
the west side of the jail building
and i'i less than live minutes he
was out and gone.
He was seen near his father's
home, lour miles north east of
town a short time before sundown
This is the
last report of him. He is charged
with stealing sheep from the Bray-
mer ranch near town, as told I
through these columns at the time.
Just a few days before escaping he
had shauen his head perfectly
smooth. This will aid in his cap-
ture.
Sheriff Downing offers a reward
of $25.00 tor him.

Frank Holing Arrested
As the years pass by, stronger'
tenderer and more beautiful be-
comes the patriotic custom of
strewing flowers over the graves of
the soldiers dead.
The rose falls from the hands of
the blue and gray alike to lend
fragrance and beauty to the silent
mounds that covers the sacred
dust of heroes of our darkest days.
The question is not asked, who
slumbers here? But with flowers
in their hands and sadness in their
hearts the survivors visit the
graves of their dead comrade or
foe and pay a loving tribute.
Norman ex-soldiers citizens
and vis itors participated in the
decorating exercises last Monday.
A long procession, headed by the
fire department passed through
Main street to the I. O. O. F. ceme-
tery where impressive ceremonies
were observed.
In the afternoon the Opera house
was crowdcd where an appropriate
program was rendered.
Business houses were beautifully
decorated in honor of the occasion.
The lire boys decorations excited
considerable favorable comment.
They were elegant and reflected
the patriotism of the boys.

Frank Boling was arrested Fri-
day of last week by Deputy ( nited

warrant sworn out by J. 13. Wor-

recently.
It seems that Frank did some
sign painting for the doctor. I he
work did not satisfy the doctor and
he and Mr. Boling could not agree
on a settlement of the account.
The other day the doctor receiv-
ed a postal card through the post
office bearing this modest inscript-
ion : "Please pay me the * 1 ">0 you
owe me." The writer did not see
the card neither did he learn wheth-
or not any name was signed to it.
however the Doctor was but a short
time in filing a complaint before U.
S. Commissioner Ifennessy, against
Mr. Boling.
Judge Hennessy bound Mr. Rul-
ing over to the Uuited States Court
last Monday. He gave bond for
his appearance.
Mr. Boling has the reputation,
as far as the Okmockat has learned,
of being a nice young man. I his
is the first time he has ever had a
charge preferred against him.

| between Keaton and Callahan stip-
ulated, Mr. Hoffman did not know,
but he was confident that it had
been made. He did not believe
that Callahan would be nominated.
This was almost equivilant to say-
ing that Judge Keaton would be a
candidate of the free silver forces.
Until a week ago Mr. Hoffman
metro-1 was in the race, and it is thought
' that he would have remained to the
finish had the Democrats held
their convention at some other
place than the Populists, and at an
earlier day. The action of the
majority of the Democratic sub-
committee, in calling the conven-
tion at Oklahoma City, gave thead-
vantage to Judge Keaton, over
meats of free silver candidates.

While no official advices have
been received since the battle is
reported to have occurred, na-
val officials declare with pos-
itiveness that it is not only improb-
able, but under the circumstances
almost impossible that an attempt
should have been made by Schley
to force an entrance to the bay.
Spain claims there was a tight off
Santiago and she also claims the
victory. From the Spanish ac-
count, it is impossible to judge as

THE REPORT*
Cape Haytien, May ti, May ol
(5:15 p. in.)—Advices just receiv-
ed from Havana say that since 2
o'clock this afternoon the American
fleet at Santiago de Cuba, has been
cannonading the batteries of Morro
castle, La Zecapa and ar.d Punta
Garda. At the same time, it is ad-
ded, the American ships have en-
gaged with the Spanish warships
The firing was extremely heavy
At 3:45 p. m. the cannonading be-
came lei*-' heavy against the fortifi-
cations, but was more accentuated
in the locality where the fleets were
engaged.
0:40 p. m.—At this hour the
Santiago cable is still working from
Santiago.
Private messages intimate that
there has been a severe light be-
tween the American llect and the
outer fortifications and the Spanish
fleet.
The figSt lasted the greater part
of the afternoon.
The advantage appears to have
been with the Americans. Accord-
ing to the latest advices the combat
is still in progress.
Persons who climbed Lookout
mountain at the entrance of Cape
Haytien harbor this afternoon
clare that they heard cannonading,
low but distinct, to the west and to
the north beyond Tartuga island.
The correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press, wh > was at the signal
station about the same time, also
heard sounds resembling a cannon-
ade. The wind was in the right
lirection to carry the detonations
to him-
It seems certain that the lleet
the Haytien gunboat saw passing
Cape Mayzi, going northward,
found its opportunity of turning
backward across the front of the
an opposing force.
11:15 p. m. -According to ad-
vices from a Spanish source, lour-
teen American warships and two
torpedo boats were engaged in a
combat at Santiago.
A very careful lire was directed
against the batteries of Morro cas-
tle until 3:45 p. m., when dis-
charges of cannon began to be
heard at sea off' the port. These
charges continued until 4 o'clock
and then entirely ceased.
LATER.
Schley has made ruin of the for-
mications at the entrance to Santi-
ago Bay. In a bombardment of
two hours Morro castle was silenc-
ed and the batteries at the foot of
the promontory and on the other
side of the entrance were destroy-
ed. Some trouble was experienced

Kinder II. Kargo Confessed To
The .Murder Of Mrs. Leard.
"There is a new factor in the
Maude burning case. This morn-
ing a t\ S. deputy marshal passed
through the city with a young Sem-
inole Indian whom it is claimed,
has confessed to the murder of Mrs.
Leard. The captive's name is
Kinder II. Hargo, a full-blood Sem-
inole He was captured in the
Chickasaw nation after an excit-
ing chase of twenty-two days. The
c ue which led to his capture and
on which his supposed guilt
based, was gotten from a letter
which he had written to his sister
now attending school at Km ma
Hockey's Mission in the Seminole
nation. In this letter he acknowl-
edged that he murdered Mrs.
Leard and then fled for safety.
The sister being afraid of the I*. S.
authorities at the Mission informed
them of the letter's contents and
her brother's whereabouts. This
information led to the capture.
Th- party passed through the city
this morning enroute to Guthrie.
This introduces a new feature in-
to the famous Seminole burning
case and it is claimed that the two
Indians who were burned were in-
nocent. and that their confession
was extorted from them by the
threats and through fear. Amid
the confusion it will be a difficult
matter to decide who was guilty of
the crime. But the legal conse-
quences of the burning cannot be
materially altered by the new ele-
ment injected into the case."

This is the question asked by all

It is an important question which
concerns America very much. We

bring great joy to every American,
