Four Fires in One Week.
Last Monday morning,the fine barn
of Mr. Parker Brown was destroyed
by fire and about 700 hundred bushels
of corn and 20 ton of hay that were
in the barn. All the stock were sav-
ed, one mare being scorched pretty
badly. Mr. Brown was in the barn
only a short time previous getting
out a team and had started to Nor-
man when he discovered the fire.
Origin of the fire is unknown, but
may have started from a match un-
consciously stepped upon. Mr. Biown
estimates his cash loss at about
$1,000.00 with $475 00 insurance.
Last Wednesday about 5 o'clock p
, a fire alarm was turned in and
the small shed barn of L.C. Kendall's
was the object on fire. Mr. Kendall's
little boy and a neighbor's were, bon-
firing in grass and the barn was ig-
nited. Mr. Kendall estimates loss at
about $50. Parents should keep close
tab on small boys with matches. Two
fires in Norman reported, this week,
from this source.
Last Monday afternoon a fire alarm
was turned in from west Norman; but
before the department could reach
the scene the fire was out. Rev.
Grant's three year old child was out
in the cow shed playing with match-
es and started the blaze, and was
quietly surveying the fire when his
mother rushed out and succeeded in
extinguishing the flame before much
injury resulted.
La9t Wednesday morning a fire
alarm was turned in from Norman Mil-
lings Co.'s Gin, but the fire was put
out before any damage of conse-
quence was suffered.
Cougar Lion.
Last Friday afternoon, "Babe'
Thornhill killed a Cougar lion in a
pasture near the Adair school house.
The lion weighed 160 pounds after
the skin was removed. The lion had
been seen in the neighborhood about
a week previous and was shot at by a
Mr. Hatfield. The Cougar lion is
found in Mexico but this one wander-
ed a considerable distance from his
reservation.
Later: It was learned tnat
Cougar Lion was West Bernard's
big Mastiff dog und West is on the
war path.
CONVENTION NOTES.
Convention Hall.
Guthrie, Okla.,
FEB. 4, 1907
Some sound and many freakish
propositions are still being fired in
to the convention carry-all.
It is said that delegate Henshaw
is the most expert cottontail catcher
of the Indian Territory.
The convention's hired help is get'
ting uneasy about their wages, not
knowing if the constitution will be
accepted or rejected by the people
Anti-constitution clubs are being
organized in Moman, Wagoner and
other Indian Territory counties
It is generally admitted that Henry
E. Asp, is the ablest member, and
that he does all he is allowed to do
in not making the constitution
constitutional.
Stentorian—voiced, Hogg kept
mum for more than sixty days. Hogg
got a county seat.
Centurian Haskell's crawfishing
has become a regular part of the
ludicrous proceedings. He has con
eluded not to ask legal advise of
Roosevelt on the pesky Jim Crow car
proposition.
The I McAlester coal-diggers are
booming coal-digger Pete Hanraty
for first governor. Peter is able to
boss a gang of miners and they would
vote for him to be even the Czar of
Russia.
Rabbit catcher Henshaw,has devel
oped into a flour waker like Haskell,
Alfalfa and the parson. The self
appointed floor walking quartette
puts fleas in drowsey members ears
and wakes up the sleeping Democrats
with the party whip
The convention court is a dark age
tribunal, all the investigations are
conducted behind locked doors and
guarded windows. ✓
Delegate Banks, was made chair
man of the committee on geography
for the plausible reason that he In-
formed a newcomer that the city of
Newkirk was a little southeast of
McAlester.
Delegates Ramsey and Littleton
will be honored with triumphal
arches on their return to old Pott
county. The pair prevented the
butchering and slicing of classic old
Pott.
Alfalfa Bill, blew four long hours
about the South Carolina dispensary
law. The terrific blowing gave the
aggregation the blues.
Most of the Indian Territory fel-
lows were sent here to grab county
seats and fix up a strong Jim Crow
provision. That's one reason of their
failure in making a constitution in
sixty days.
One-armed doorkeeper John D. Mc-
Lean, the noted Canadian county
statesman, should be a member of
this body. John would know what he
was sent here for. It is hoped that
he will consent to become a candi-
date for the legislature.
5,000 emphatic kicks will be regis-
tered against the chronic meddlers
from the Indian Territory if they try
to abolish the Tonkawa Preparatory
University.
Brother Cobb, one of the so called
twelve republican apostles became
pretty good and sweet to the beastly
majority shortly before they present-
ed him with a county-seat three miles
from the county line.
It is now predicted that the consti-
tion framers will be caught here by
the "ides of March."
Some of the most unsophisticated
delegates think they have an inher-
ent right and power to reassemble,
provided parts of their faulty work—
or all of it—is demolished either by
the people or by the president. They
persist in ignoring or not understand-
ing the Enabling Act.
Delegate Henry E. Asp, (delivered
a masterly address on the martyred
William McKinley. Mr. Asp is in
more than one respect the most
praise-deserving member of the con-
vention.
Has it come to pass that the in-
habitants of the boasted "land of
the Fair God" are to be ruled with
red hot rods of iron in the hands of
Indians and squawmen?
Unconstitutional convention hall
will not prove a political grave-yard
to delegates Asp, Kornegay and
Hayes.

terian Church. Mrs Alexander was

drals, Mrs Norman.

The discussion of civic improvement
was quite animated and several plans
were suggested by which the general
appearance ot our city could be
much Improved. It was suggested
that prizes be offered for the most
artistic porch decoration during the
summer. Also for the best kept lawns
and flower beds. Some of the mem-
bers thought to create a sentiment
against spitting on the sidewalk and
burning waste paper on Main Street.
It was finally decided to refer the
work to a committee of three: Mrs.
Boyd, chairman and Mesdames Pax-
ton and C'arr. If you are in anyway
interested in beautifying our city
give a word of encouragement to
any member of this committee and
begin by seeing that your own sur-
roundings are well kept.
University Secures
Fine Tract of Land.
Yesterday, Dr. Boyd, who is in
Washington, wired D. L. Larsh that
the bill granting the school section
west of Norman to the University
had passed the Senate. Tha bill
had passed the House several weeks
ago and now awaits the Presidents
approval. This is one of the most
desirable sections of agricultural
land in Oklahoma and securing same
for the University at this time was a
fortunate streak of good luck for the
University. This (jives the University
700 acres of land.
