Rock Island Influence Asked by
Office Seekers.
Oi'THBiK, O. T„ June 11 —A number
of the politicians who have been trying
with not very much success at the
present time, for some of the offices in
the new country, have decided that
they will apply to M. A. Low of the
Ko'k Island in addition to the appli-
cations already made in the territory.
T.iey have figured it out that as the
new country is called Rock Island tcr-
r lory, Low will have something to say
about the matter. These men in hopes
of w inning out are planning to send in
the endorsements which they have ac-
cumulated in connection with their
applications and see what the effect
will be.
The men who want to be sheriffs and
probate judges have estimated that
the Hock Island will have much to i!o
with the offices in the new country and
are seeing Harry Thompson, United
States marshal, and are tiring their en
dorsements to him.
How much Low or Thompson will
have to do with (he appointments in
the new country is problematical.
The politicians who want office hustle
around to get the endorsement of Den-
nis Flynn and if he docs not get much
satisfaction from the Oklahoma dele-
gate he naturally thinks that some one
else might do him some good.
At the present time there are nearly
BOO applications for offices in the new

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
T rial of Charles Betts Begins at
Arkansas City.
Arkansas City, Kan., June 10.—The
trial of Charles Betts, jr., the 12-year-
old boy charged with the murder of C.
L. Weltberger, promises to be one of
unusual interest, both from the ex-
treme youth of the accused and the
general circumstances of the case.
The trial was called this morning in
the district court at Winfield before
Judge W . I'. McBride, both parties be-
ing ready.
I he attorneys for the defense en-
tered a demurrer to the information*
filed on the ground that the informa-
tion did not show facts sufficient to
constitute a public offense. The mo-
tion was overruled without argument.
There being but twenty-four of the
regular jurors left, Judge McBride or-
dered a special venire of forty to be
summoned, to appear tomorrow morn-
ing. I rom this venire the jury to try
this case will be selected. No new
names of witnesses were added to the
information, and the case will be tried
on the information now filed. Of the
forty jurors drawn from the box today
not a man comes from Arkansas City
or \\ infield. This will make the selec-
tion of the jury an easy matter, and it
is expected t' at the trial will begin
tomorrow.
Weltberger was shot from ambush
as lie was returning home 011 April 28
last, and his assailants are supposed to
have been hidden along the roadside
when they tired upon him.
The Dads Did Do It.
The city council met last night.
The question of putting up a city

end, but tiefore the proposition passed

ed himself in favor of the erection of
