VISIT FROM COUNTY SEATERS with a smoker by the Merchants
Association. A number of the able
By Special Train on Last Friday
Evening Enjoyed by
Hennessey
The Kingfisher Commercial Club,
accompanied by their wives, lady
friends and the Kingfisher High
School Dramatic Club, came up
from the county seat last Friday
evening by special train to pay our
city a visit, become better acquaint-
ed with our people and established
a more mutual re'ationship between
the two metroplis of Kingfisher
county.
The train was met at the depot
by the local merchants association
and the Hennessey band, and the
speakers from both associations
were called upon for speeches and
an hour was spent in entertaining
and profitable speech making. The
Kingfisher speakers advanced the
argument showing the advantage it
would be to the county in general
for both Kingfisher and Hennessey
to thoroughly organize their com-
mercial clubs and the two clubs
cooperate in advertising and work-
ing for the betterment of Kingfisher
county—the garden spot of Oklaho-
ma. The Hennessey speakers spoke
with heart to heart feeling along the
same line and there is no question
the affair taken as a whole, was a
decided benefit to all present and
should establish a nearer relation-

Some people who have not resid
ed in Hennessey long, with some
who have, are taking particular
pains to criticise certain of the old
officers, of the town, who are candi-
dates for re-election, and are trying
to influence others to vote against
these officers by circulating false
and fraudulent stories concerning
the handling of the cities affairs
for the last two years. Such tilings
have their inception in one or two
things, either a disposition to mis-
lead honest men who believe that
you tell the truth when vou tell
-ueh things, that you know are no
true when you tell them; or in tin-
fact that you have no regard for
truth and had rather misrepresent
(which in this instance means lie),
than to tell the truth.
Such stories have their origin
and are circulated by persons who
as a rule it such excuses were valid,
are too ignorant or too lazy to in-
vestigate or learn the truth. For
instance, every intelligent man
knows, and it requires very little
intelligence to read, that every o
ficer handling one cent of the cities
money, must and is required to re-
port monthly the amount handled
and expended and that the town
treasurer makes quarterly reports
and in May makes his annual re-
ports, all of which is published in
your local papers. If this is not
sufficient, Mr. Skeptic, the records
of the board, the books of the trea-
money for costs in prosecuting of-
fenders as they are in condeming
us there will be less bootlegging.
There are some men in the city
government today, who have done
more to enforce the law and main-
tain good morals in Hennessey, in
years gone by, than some of you who
are condemning us, will or can do
in a life time, so when you condemn
us hesitate for a moment and reflect
and see if you do not conclude that
some of the burden or enforcein'g
the law rests upon your shoulders.

No New Trial for Howey
Carl Howey, a formerly Hennes-
sey boy, who was arrested June 25,
last year, for the murder of Ed Mor-
ris, of Anadarko, and was convicted
of the crime October 5th, and given
a life-time imprisonment sentence,
was refused a new trial by Judge
Frank M. Bailey, at Chickasha last
Friday, the judge maintaining that
the newly discovered evidence did
not warrant a rew trial.
Judge Bailey took the position
that a new trial would not change
the verdict in the case. The at-
torney for the defence gave notice
if appeal. Howey, who was brought
to Chickasha for the hearing, was
remanded back to the county sheriff 1 ^ ani!i
and will be returned to the McAles-
ter prison.
