The Election
'
The city el action held in Krebs
last Tuesday passed off in rather a '
quiet fashion. Although some
surprises were sprung we are
of the opinion that everybody is
reasonably well satisfied and the
town will rock along as usual.
Mayor Otterson was re-elected
mayor over Nixon socialist by a
vote of 147 to 128.
Chief of Police "Billy ' Flesh- at about 1 1-2 miles below the t the switch he intended them for
er had no trouble in walking crossing on Brushy Creek be- thereby blocking all means of
away with the "grapes" in hisltween Krebs and Adamson ! escape and the loaded cars fall-
race for this office by a vote of I this morning (Friday) by J. ing all over him. It is the gen-
178 to 95. He led the ticket in W. Sparkman the Adamson live- wal supposition that death re-
both the primary and general ryman and party of searchers suited almost instantly as he was

Dudley Buell for city attorney ' yesterday the horse being dead ! broken and the skull fractured
had no opposition.
Wm. Frazier for street commis-
sioner was an easy winner while
Frank Dale for "city treasurer
had no opposition.
The greatest surprise of this
election was the defeat of Wal-'
ter Hokey for city clerk by Tea-
garden a socialist by 8 votes members of Congress before the

that in the event of Teagarden's the Oklahoma delegation hope to
election he would resign and pave the way for an amendment
recommend the appointment oi ( to the general Indian appropria-
W. F. Davis who run second in tion granting a 100 per cent cap-
the recent primary. This was I ita payment to the Choctaw and
bound to have had weight and
was the cause of Hokey's defeat
as Mr. Davis is a sufferer of
rheumatism and had a great
tnany bympathViers. A man or
set of men who woVJd resort to
such dirty politics should be
prosecuted to the fullest extent.
In the first ward H. H. Bos-
ley was defeated by W. T. Wil-
liams socialist. Alex Rice in
the second had no trouble in
landing by a safe majority. Roy
