WAILS FOUND NOT GUILTY.
Jury Trial at Guthrie Thursday Dis=
charges the Cleveland County
Populist.
At Guthrie Thursday, the ease of
the Territory of Oklahoma vs J. C.
Wails, representative of Cleveland
county charged with attempting to
bribe Senator Hutto, of Stillwater
last winter. The chief witness for
the prosecution, Senator Hutto
being absent the court ordered an
attachment issued to bring him into
court. However, Senator Hutto
came in before the attachment was
served The attorneys for the de-
feuse demurred to the indictment
and the court over ruled the de-
murrer.
At 4 o'clock, the case was called,
the jury empanelled, the indictment
was read, which in substance claim-
ed that Wails offered Hutto $25.00 |
for his influence to vote on a cer-
tain pharmacy bill that was before
the council.
Senator Ilutto, the complaining
witness, took the stand and his
testimony boiled down was "that
Wails came to him in the council
chamber and said that if he would
get the bill up on its feet, there
would be #25.00 in it." Whether
itmeant for Hutto or himself, Mr.
Hutto could not explain.
No death which has occurred
Norman for a number of years
caused more expressions of sym
patby and regret than the announce-
ment early Wednesday morning
that 'J. Stanton Clark had passed
into the great beyond at 4 a. m,,
Wednesday, November, 22nd.
-It is indeed hard to realize the
true meaning of the announcement.
Strong, robust, the very picture of
health ordy a few short days ago;
now a corpse upon which the
finger prints of death show plainly.
The deceased was one of those
young men whose personality is
such as to make a favorable and
lasting impression on all who met
him. To know him was to like
him. Pleasant in his address and
a gentleman at all times, he came
imo a strange community and soon
endeared himself to all. It is in
deed sad that this young life should
be lost on the eve of both business
and domestic happiness. Back in
Missouri, his old home, lives
young lady who was soon to be his
happy wile. Only a few days
prior to his demise, the writer was
made acquainted with his future
plans and it was a touching con
vernation even then when death was
unexpected.
Stanton Clark was a Missourian;
born and raised at Warrensburg.
He decided a few years ago to
make pharmacy his profession,
After a few years of Active experi
enee in a drug store, he entered
the St Louis College of Pharmacy.
List September he came to Okla-
homa in search of a location, Af-
ter visiting a number of towns he
selected Norman and purchased a
hall interest of the pioneer drug

did not take a vote and as there
was no evidence that Walls offered

while friends were extending words

Almost every physician in Nor-
man went to the bedside and every-
thing known to medical science
was tried. The case was diagnosed
as Typhoid fever which later termi-

plications. The remains were
taken to Warrenburg Wednesday

The best and most prominent

and all are heartily in favor of Ok-

Hon. lion. Sidney Clarke, chair
man of the statehood executive
committee, made himself a commit-
tee ot one to welcome the members
of the committee.
Among those present from
abroad were Hon. Dennis T. Flynn

after the roll call the qucNtion was
brought up as to what would be the
best method of bringing the wants
of the people before congress when
it assembles ne*t winter. Several
Department for Cleveland county, of the delegates were of the opinion
Cleveland county was one of four1 that Governor Harnes' last report
counties having the best reports. | .would be a good document to
cover the ground. A number of
other delegates Haid the report was
good enough, but it did not go far
enough. I here v.as nothing in
that document thai treated on the
manner in which justice was dis-
pelled in the territory. As long
as the judiciary was appointed in
Washington and men sent to Okla-
homa to administer justice, and
that furthermore the people of
Oklahoma were tired of sending in
petitions that were being constantly
igored by the powers in Washing-
ton, all of these things should be
placed before congress at the earli-
est possible moment and actiou
taken thereon.
A number of speeches were made
favoring both single and double
statehood.
Sidney Clarke said the only way
to handle the matter was to send
somebody to Washington to sta
with it. He thought that state
hood'was the way to free homes.
The committee alopted a resolu
tion providing thaa the c-unm: ee
appointed at the Guthrie *iatt-liood
convention be instructed to prepare
at earliest possible moment, a mem-
orial to congress praying for state
hood. I he committee is composed
of Horace Speed, Guthrie; W. T.
Little, IVrry, ami Sehvyn Douglass,
.1 II. Warren aud J. L. Brown of
Oklahoma City. It was resolved
further that the executive commit-
tee be authorized to eulist the sup
port of the newspapers of the mid*
die west in the cause of statehood.
Upon motion of W. T. Walker,
Chairman Clarke was authorized to
select fifteen or twnty men, includ-
ing Chairman CUrke, to go to
Washington this winter. Each
person is to pay his own expenses.
