' One that will prevent Interference

every one tiiat if the federal courts'
can be invoked to apiwilnt receivers to

the bank commissioner and banking
board will be greatly handicapped In

This trouble can he avoided by amend-
ing the law to conform to the principal
set forth by the supreme court of the

the law (should be passed as time and

INTERUR
Oklahoma City Nov. 18. "Wo the
jury empanelled in the case of the Peo-
ple of Oklahoma County State of Okla-
homa vs. Harvey D. Garrison Sheriff
find him guilty as charged."
That really was E'.l. Ex-Sheriff Gar-
rison arose smiled put 011 his-coat of-
fered his arm to his Wife who had sat
at his side during the bitter arraign-
ment by Attorney General W'est and
they followed the discharged jury rroni
the court room.
The jury had been out. an hour and
ten minutes when a loud rap on the
door summoned the 'bailiffs to their
release. As a quarter of nn hour then
half an hour a.id then tl.rce ir.i.irters
passed the large audience began to
file out and go home but the wi xr
ones who had observed that it uok
Presiding Judge Sttllwell Russell juv
forty-five minutes to read his Instruct-1
tions to the jury were less confident.!

to their chambers with them. Art hour
and ten minutes was just time to read
the instructions send for a pitcher of
ice water and take one ballot. And
that's what they did do besides giv-
ing about ten minutes to argument
with Juror Pain the only dissenter to!
the verdict of guilty.
While the Garrison trial was not a
sensational one there was even great-
er interest lit It than any yet tried
here. The sensational features were
absorbed at the inception of the so-
called' "graft. investigation" that
brought Governor Haskell into court.
Harvey D. Garrison was appointed
by the board of county commissioners
in May 1009 to finish out the unex-j
piretj term of .hU father George W.j
Garrison shot by Alf Hunter. After
his appointment from the position of!
undersheiiff some question arose as;
to whether or not a man should be !
elected or appointed to fill the place. ;
Taking advantage of the confusion an!
election was called in which Jack j
Spain was Chosen to fill the place. The'
matter then found its way Into the
courts being carried to the supreme
court of Oklahoma. The judicial body
handed down a decision that Garrison's
appointment by the county eommis-
jsioners entitled him to the office ttn-
ti! time for the next election.
The flying squadron made the big-
gest haul of liquor in a raid which was
made late yesterday afternoon on Sam
Cook's place over the old Mint bar that
has fallen into its clutches at one time
in many moons.
The result of the raid is given as
27 cases' of whisky 1 case of cham-
pagne 13 bottles of "White Label"
whisky 1 griprnl of whisky one gtipful
of cold beer one check rack with 1000
checks one bar one roulette wheel
and a bank roll of $150.
Thi.-i was found upstairs in the ceil-
ing that Is there was a false door in
the ceiling and the goods were taken
up through this door by means of a
block and tackle.
The raid was made by Sheriff Louth-
a:. t'::dersheriff Yearta and Deputies
Aknii- Garner and Bryan.
' As will be remembered. Cook has
been twice convicted during the year
for selling liquor.
STORE-BREAKERS HELD.
J. J. Drake Sam Spell and John Car-
roll were all arraigned before Judge
Moore on a charge of burglary and
were bound oyer In the sum of $1000
each to await the action of the grand
jury.
Among those in attendance when the
boys were arraigned was Police Judge
Grigsby in whose court 'the accused
had previously figured to some ex-
tent.
Plans are being drawn for a pretty
five-room bungalow to be erected for
Wi V. Wnrfield.
Sulphur Okla. Nov. IS it is the un-
derstanding that Commissioner Valen-
tine will make recommendations to
congress through the interior depart-
ment for a large appropriation for
Piatt National Park at Sulphur. Re-
cently Mr. Valentine visited the sjiot
and drank from all the thirty-two
springs. He expressed himself as fa-
voring better facilities and improve-
ments. The government will probably
erect a building in the park to be con-
trolled by the Smithsonian Institute

You Can Protect
Your Bank Account
United States Government bonds are usually
considered the highest class of securities and
at all times command a premium but a Cer.
tlficate of Deposit from this bank Is better
than a goverment bond for it does not cost
yon any premium Is more easily negotiated.

And no matter what condition may arise
it will be paid dollar for dollar. The De-

protection against less in this bank. That Is
perfect safety. Nothing can be safer.
