to 1,657,155 in 1910, which was an In-

During the same decade the United
Officer Bowman was the principal
witness in these cases, and in many
were 0£ them the sole witness. The de-

People are attracted to Oklahoma to be dismissed also,
principally because land is still com-

land is still 50 per cent cheaper here

Alva, Okla. —Word has been received
lere of the death at Ashley, an inland
town nine miles east of Alva, of A.
N. Smith, who, it is believed, was
kicked to death by an unruly horse
The accident took place while all the
members of the family except Mr.
Smith, were in Alva attending a circus,
(t was known that Smith was working
ihe horse and he was found lying on
the ground w ith several marks on his
(lead, evidently from the hoofs of the

250 Bonus Lawsuits Dismissed.
Guthrie, Okla.—Two hundred and
fifty thousand law suits, involving $4r .-

BELLIGERENT LESSEE
GUIETED BY THE STATE
Improvements on Mrs. Wilhite's Land
Sold For Taxes and Remaining
Proceeds Given Back to Her.
Guthrie, Okla. The state land de-
partment ha sold the improvements
of the school land, leased for many I
years by Mrs. C. A. Wilhite of near
Blackwell, the woman who is leading
the school land lessees in their cam-
paign to homestead their lands under
the government laws, thus denying
any title in the state. The department
took from the mone> received for the
improvements enough to make good
the back rents, alleged to be owed by
her to the state, and sent her the bai- |
ance, which, it is said, she has ac-
cepted.
The state land department acted «:n-
der a recently enacted la\v that em-
powers the sehriff of a county to exe-
cute an order of the department the
same as an order of court, and in this j
manner were the improvements on j
Mrs. Wilhite's leased land sold. It is,
understood, too, that she has teen
given notice to vacate the place by t
January 1, and that she will be evicted
unless ijie obeys. The law permits the.]
department to take such action when-
ever the department deems it neces-
sary.
Mrs. Wilhite began her campaign
for homesteadiug the school lands
several months ago, and has bee >me
known as the "Joan of Arc" of the
lessees. She has been preaching her
gospel in many of the counties, where
there are school lands located, and or-
ganizing the lessees to file on their
lands under the provisions of the fed- '
eral law. She claims the lands belong
to the lessees because they made legal
residence thereon prior to the state
securing title when statehood came
Perhaps one hundred lessees in nil j
have followed her advice. Their filings
have been rejected by the local land
office, but always have appeals been
taken to Washington.
Mrs. Wilhite owes the state for rent
on the land she leased many* years
prior to statehood, and that she had
refused to pay, claiming the state has
no title and could not force its claims
against her.

Enid, Okla. After an ineffec tual at-
tempt to get Claude Gigoux of Carrier,
to stop his galloping team, Chief of
Police Austin, shot both the horses,
killing one, near the city limits. Gi-
goux stopped at a residence here and

Unwritten Law Acquits.
Art more, Okla.—The unwritten law
was pleaded as a defense in a murder
trial in the district court in which
negroes were concerned and the jury
returned a verdict of not guilty. Hen.

Tulsa Gas to Be Conserved.
Tulsa, Okla.—A local company with j
n capitalization of $1,000,000 is being
organized here to conserve to Tulsa'
the available gas supply within a ra-1
djus of twenty miles of this city. Vast
new gas fields are being opened in
this locality, and it is feared that if
this gas is not retained for Tulsa its
prospects as a manufacturing city will
be endangered.
Interesting Data in Monthly Report
of the State Fire Marshal.
Less Than 1911.
The total tire waste, in Oklahoma
amounted to $12r*,473.:io in the month
of September, according to Fire Mar-
shal C. C. Hammonds in his report to
Insurance Commissioner Ballard.
This is a decrease from the fire
waste of September, 1011, of $10,-
830,65. The incendiary fire waste for
the month of September, 1911, was
$24,313, while that for September,
1912, was $2,390.
In his report Marshal Hammonds
says: "The fire Nvnste caused by ehil
dren playing with matches and fire
has increased over 100 per cent as
shown by a comparison with the
anonth of September a year ago. It is
evident that citizens are not as care-
ful as they should be in giving chil-
dren mat dies and in placing them
within their reach. The fire waste
from this cause during the month is
the greatest it has been since the ere
ation of this department and will ex
ceed any of t e previous months by
more than 33 per cent. The citizens
of this state should realize that chil-
dren are imitators and if the child
sees a match struck and applied to
kindlins it lias a desire to do the
same, and if the matches are left
where the child can get. to them, it
has only to be left alone until it will
try its hand in lire building, which
often results in the destruction of
property." The total loss by "children
and matches" during the month was
$3,212.50.
Carelessness was the cause of the
destruction of property valued at $14.
965 and the loss of several lives was
caused through carelessness. One
man was convicted of burning proper-
ty in Pittsburg county and sentenced
to five years in the penitentiary.
Why This Great Waste?
Registrar Newby, of the State uni
versity at Norman, compiled durign
the summer a list of more than 400
Oklahoma students who are attc iding
colleges and universities outside of the
state. He estimated that this list
toes noi contain one-third of those
who are getting their education outside
of Oklahoma. Four thousand dollars
a year is a very conservative estimate
for the average expense of these stu-
dents. This means that between
$400,000 and $500,000 are spent annu-
ally for education outside the state.
Why should there be this waste of our
state wealth when a large part of it
is entirely unnecessary, as most « f
these students could get just as good
work as they are getting now, or bet
ter, by attending some of the state in-
stitutions.
Finds Employe to Blame.
Attorney General West has complet-
ed his investigation of the charges
made against the state board of agri-
culture, some weeks aso by former
State Senator Campbell Russell, and
has made his report to Governor
Cruee. He recommends a prosecution
for perjury against an employe of tho
board, alleged to have submitted a
falsified expense voucher, and recom-
mends some changes in the manner
of handling funds, but finds no crim-
inal culpability on the part of mem-
bers of the board.
Two Asked to Resign.
Chairman Dave Morrow and Secre-
retary E. A. Ringold, of the Oklahoma
county Election Board, have been ask-
ed by Secretary Hen Riley, of the
State Election Board, to resign. Their
successors will be announced by Riley
as soon as the resignations are forth-
coming, or sooner if the two members
do not comply with the request. Much
criticism of the county election board
has been voiced since the last regis-
tration period, and although no
charges are made by Riley, it. is
known that the action of the state
board is the result of adverse com
ment. Secretary Riley has declined
to make any stateenmt regarding
the case.
Justice Hawkins Decides in Favor of
Plaintiff. Who Appeals to the
Supreme Court.
That the state labor department
1 will be successful in it?- fight to elim-
inate loan sharks from Oklahoma was
I indicated the other day when the first
lease, brought several weeks ago in
j.Justice Hawkins' court in Oklahoma
I ' *itv. was decided in favor of the plain-
I tiff and the loan conipain was ordered
to refund twi e the amount of illegal
i interest that had been charged and
j also to pay attorney fee of $10 to
! plaintiff's lawyers.
| The case was against the K. C. Loan
company, which is conducted b> Ar-
thur lleatherly. It was shown that
■ Porter Carter had borrowed $5 from
I the company on his salary and that
j interest was charged and payments
l ontinued, until illegal interest amount-
| ing to more than the principal
| of the loan, bad been collected there-
' on.
j The loan company attorneys. L. C.
Marks and Wilson \ Tonierlin. contend
ihat the contract between the borrow-
| or and the company was not a loan of
I *."> but a sale of wages for $.>. but this
premise was overruled. Objection v|as
also made to the assesment of the
$10 attorney's fee against the defend-
ant in the case, it being contended
that such an assessment was uncon-
stitutional, but here the defense lost
again, the court holding that the lee
allowance in this ease was a penalty
and not to be regarded as a similar
judgment in damage suits and fore-
closures, in which the attorney's fee
is asked for in addition to the Judg-
ment,
Notice of intention to take an ap-
peal to higher courts was given by
the defendant and it is likely that
this will be made a test case for fight-
ing all the Nvay through the state
courts until finally settled by the su-
preme court of tho state. The depart-
ment of labor has drawn first blood
in what promises to be a long battle
they intend to fight for the protection
of the working man who is occasion-
ally forced to borrow.
Governor Fills Two Vacancies.
I). I. Johnston of Oklahoma City, and

September 25. As compared with last
season, this year's production is but
79.5 per cent. Corn production on date
of the report was 67.7 per cent com-

Want to Test the Law.
In order to test the law the state la

the 1910 legislature requiring suret>
companies to give reasons for their
action when the bond of any employe
of a common carrier is canceeld by
the companies.
Submit Under Protest.
The Santa Fe Railroad Company
notified the corporation commission
that beginning October 1 it would put
into effect the recent order of the
commission, granting a fare of one
cent a mile to sheriffs or their depu-
ties, the transportation of prisoners, or
when the officers are in a chase after
criminals. The order will become ef-
fective under protest, however, on
the part of the railroads and the mat-
ter will probably be finally settled in
the supreme court.

WHY THE FIFTH MAN LEFT
He Wore a Wig and the Other Four
Men at the Table Were Bald
—and Talkative.
In the smoking room of a west-
bound ocean liner two days out from
an Fnglish port tlve men sat at a
"small game" of poker. When the
chips had been cashed in the men re-
tained their places, and presently one
of the party said: "That Is funny;
four bald heads out of a possible
five," and then there was a discussion
n* to the causes of baldness, in which
all took part except the u naff lie ted
man, who was a good listener for a
while. He then bade the others good
night. When ho had gono the young-
est of the group, who was less bald
than the others, said: "Do you know
why Mr. Plank made the getawayf
He wears a wig, and Is probably as
bald as any of us." And for the res®
of tho Journey Mr Plank's head was
the object of study at a distance—
for he never again appeared In the
smoking room.
He Knew.
" 'Where there's a will there's a
way,'" avers Taylor Holmes, appear-
ing In The Million. "The way. how-
ever, varies, as in the case of a cer-
tain pickpocket, who was convicted
and promptly fined
"The lawyer of the pickpocket took
the fine imposed upon his client verjr
much to heart.
" 'Twenty-five dollars!' he exposti^
lated Your honor, where Is this poor,
unfortunate man to get $25?'
"His honor did not know, or if he
did he refrained from saying so, but
the prisoner was less discreet.
"'Juat let me out of here for ten or
fifteen minutes,' he said, 'and I'll
show you?'" Young's Magazine.
Odd Fellowf Will Not Lose.
There was on deposit in the Sapulpa
bank, which recently failed, $7,300 to
the credit of the Odd Fellows' grand
lodge of Oklahoma, which amount is
said to have been guaranteed by a
special surety bond. State Hank Com-
missioner Lank ford states that the
delay in adjusting the claim is due
to the state's inability to obtain eer-
that of the, defunct bank's hooks neces-
sary to verify the account.
Two Paroles Granted.
Governor Cruee has granted a parole
to S. T. Swihart, serving a two-year
sentence in tJie state reformatory for
the larceny of a horse. Swihart is
given his temporary release in order
that, he may go to his home to help

was stabbed recently at Holdenville.
Governor Cruee also extended the pa-
role of J. E. Kennedy, who was con-
victed of manslaughter in Coal county
in 1909 and sentenced to six and one-
half years in the penitentiary.
Governor Cruee Paroles Two.
Paroles have been issued by Gov-
ernor Cruee to T. A. Petty of Comanche
