One of the Indicted Lumbermen of
Oklahoma City Says His Business
Is Legitimate and Profits
Small.
Oklahoma City. O. T., Nov. 12.—Did ;
ihe grand jury strain a pnat and swal-
low a camel when they indicted elev- j
en of the most prominent lumbermen j
of Oklahoma City?" inquired a local
lumber dealer yesterday.
"Is this a good advertisement for
our city when men whd have, or at j
least should have, the most vital in-
terest of the city at heart, namely,
the building of solid and substantial
business blocks and flue residences,
are indicted when the things that low- ,
er the moral tone of the city are over- j
looked. Would exhorbitant prices j
bring about such results?
"We do not believe there is a lum- |
berman in this city but what would ,
gladly show a committee of business j
men their invoices, sales books and
expense accounts, and let them decide
whether their profits were too large.
"It is a fact th$t the retailers are
competing with the wholesalers for
many of the largest bills in the city.
"As far as having an association to
restrict and keep out legitimate 90m-
petition, if such an association ever
existed it has fallen far short of its
duty, as the fact of there being six-
teen yards in a city of this size will
show. Kansas City, Mo., with all the
nearby places such as Armourdale,
Kansas City, Kan., and others, lias on-
ly about twenty-three yards.
"The grand juror who made the re-
mark, "Here's where I buckle on my
armor plate and dodge bullets for a
while," will probably have a much |
harder time in dodging his own con- !
science than he will bullets."
It looks as
if a man's
back is the
center of
strength when
lie is straining
to lift or haul a
heavy weight.
Hut the center
of strength is
uot the back,
but the stom-
ach. There's no strength in
the back of a giant if he's
starving. All strength i6 made
from food, and food can onlv
be converted into strength
when it is perfectly digested
and assimilated. \Vhen the
stomach is diseased, the nutri-
tion of food is lost and phys-
ical weakness follows.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery cures diseases of the
stomach and other organs of

cular, by enabling the perfect
digestion and assimilation
of the food eaten.

Many persons, chiefly non-union

Excepting a few dozen passengers,
who had to tlee from the cars, tho
300,000 daily patrons of the company
were forced to all sorts of other meth-
ods in order to get down town and

With faces and hands bleeding from
the attacks of the strikers, motormen,
gripmen and conductors who tried to
run trains returned to tho barns and
refused to go out again unless the
trains bore platoons of police or pa-
trol wagons were along side. The po-
lice confined their efforts to seeing
that the passage of cars from the
barns were unobstructed and that
crowds and blockades in tho streets
were quickly cleared. This was dono
under orders from Mayor Harrison,
whose announced purpose was to pre-
serve an impartial attitude, taking
sides neither for nor against the strik-
ers or the street car company, which
though known as the Chicago City
railway, is a private corporation, the
lines of which extend through the
south Side of tho city, radiating from
the business center.

Detective McTire has been spending
a few days with the "wearies" down

committed. He closed in on the gang
