For Contempt ol Court.
The fact has been revealed that
Jones (Gristmill Jones), ex-
mayor Of Oklahoma City was re
eently committed to jail for con -
tempt of court. Y'. sterdaj habeaus
n vpns proceedings were tiled in the
supreme court asking for the re
lease of Mr. Jones from custoday.
This case developes out or another

plaintiff iu the.case claims that a
ibout the same time * lie injunction
was being procured :lha.t the money
•was transferred from the hands of
the .city. That .meinbers ol the
.city council had hurriedly taken il
ifrom the treasurers hands.
Investigation disclo-ed the fact
:tha'. ^12,500 ol this sum had been
deposited in the Noble county hank
.of Perry and it was aNo stated that
.tlie money had been removed. And
.here, U was tiiat the trouble arose.
When Mr. Jones was brought be-
fore J udge Harper of the probate
.court in Oklahoma City and asked
•question*, regarding the money,
Ihe .replied that the money was lo
,his knowledge placed in the bank,

"Has it been taken from the bank
with your knowledge?" he replied
"that is my own private affair and

Harper committed him to jail for
contempt of court ai d he was taken
in charge by the sheriff Friday and
remained in custodi.y until yester-
day. When Judge Burwell ordered
a writ of release to be issued. 1 he
charge of con! empt ot court will be
brought before the supreme court
here on September Kill during the

The case is arousing much inter-
est and causing considerable excite-
ment. There is little doubt tint
that the applications of attachment
will be issued on the oilier city
officers* of I'erry.

Guthrie, O. T. Aug. 1.—The
Pawnee Times Democrat relates the
following particulars of a tragedy
iu Dixie, a town near that city:
The home of Mr, and Mrs Mc-
Clure, living n ar Dixie, m this
county, was the scene of a tragedy
last Wednesday that marked the
closing of life's drama for Miss
I Lulu llensel, the eighteen year-old
j niece of Mrs, McClure. Miss lien
sel hail been visiting Mrs. McClure
for about two months, her home
being in Dallas, lex. Nothing
auto! the ordinary was noticed in
the girl's actions, except that re
cently she had seemed to have peri-
ods of despondency. She rarely
talked about her affairs, and, with
the exceptions noted, she went about
h r daily duties in good spirits and
! apparently happy.
| On last Tuesday and Wednesday
| Miss llensel was especially down-
I hearted, and remarked at one lima
that she would just as «oon be dead
: as lo live. No great importance j
was attached to the remark W\ those j
I who heard her, it being ascribed to
j the fact that she had not rtceivi d !
I any letter recently from her belli-;
j rolled, and everybody thinking it
| only another temporary allact > f
the blues. But after the men f dU-
I had all gone lo the town lot draw
j mg at Keyst ine on Weclnes lay
, morning, leaving only Mrs. McClure
at home, Miss llensel 5t cured some
Paris green, w hich had been used
for killing insects on plants by the
McCdires, and mixing it with water
swallowed the compound. Mrs.
McClure found the unfortunate girl
lying under a tree in the back part
j ,}f the premises, and immediately
j sent to Dixie f'-r a | hysici;.n. I

The World's Fair Commissioners

an exhibition ol Oklahoma wheat
that will eclipse anything from the
states. At least a thousand sain

point of yield or weight is urged to
save four or five quarts. 11# may
send these to the honorary commiss-
ioner of his county, making sure to

ber of his land, the yield per acre,
and the weight pur bushel on tigs,
which he can secure, togather with
sacks, on request, from his honor
ary commissioner or any member of
the commission. All this data will
appear with the sample at the expo-
sition.
