M'CALL CAPTURED.
Greer County Man Will Answer to
Charge of Bigamy.
WINS CANTALOUPE PRIZE.
Missouri Given Reward But Had Not
a Large Melon on Exhibition.
lawton. O. T., Nov. 15. Yesterday
8beriff Hammonds received word from
the sherifT at Whitesboro, Texas, say-
ing they hail captured one Lester Mc-
Call, who has been hiding for the last
three months or more.
McCall is charged with bigamy. He
married a daughter of M. P. Moore, of
near Letitia, while at the same time
II Is alleged he bad a wife and several
children living in Greer county. Okla-
homa. He had been followed all over
the country. Sheriff Hammonds heard
ot him in Dakota and also heard he
had left there. He had a sister liv-
ing near Whitesboro and the officers
there were Instructed to be on the
watch for him as It was believed he
would show up at his sister s. The
arrest followed and the chances are
he will require a requisition before
he will come to Oklahoma.
St. Louis, Mo, Nov. 15.—The state
of Missouri bears the distinguished
honor of having a grand prize confer-
red upon it for an exhibit which was
never exhibited at the world's fair
The prize was given on cantaloupes.
Diligent search on the part of Matt
W. Hall, superintendent of the Mis-
souri agricultural exhibit, when he
was notified of the award, failed to
develop a single cantaloupe within the
confines of the Missouri space.
Superintendent Hall places the
blame for the mistake in the canta-
loupe award to the carelessness of a
stenographer and not to an oversight
on the part of the jury. He says that
he believes it was intended for some
other state, and that perhaps Colorado
has missed on a grand prize.

The Thanksgiving Oocoocoo.
The original name of the turkey was
Oocoocoo. by which it was known
by the native Cherokee Indians. It
is supposed that our Pilgrim fathers,
roaming through the woods in search
of game for their first Thanksgiving
spread heard the Oocoocoo calling in
the familiar tones of our domesticated
fowl. "Turk, turk, turk." These first
Yankee huntsmen, mistaking this
frightened cry of the bird for it 5 real

| Fuel Shortage in Lawton—Railroads
Hauling Cotton Instead of Coal
and Wood.
! Lawton, O. T. Nov. 15—There is
! almost a wood famine in Lawton.
^ About all the wood obtainable is an
occasional wagonload brought in,
which are comparatively few, as the
farmers are too busy in the cotton
fields to haul wood to town.
The cause of this shortage is the
fact that the railroad will not haul it
in, and this is also laid at the door of
the cotton crop. All available cars
are held to handle the cotton and cot-
ton seed.

this clause in the deed was decided

Darrow was originated in order to
develop the great gypsum deposits in
western Oklahoma, where the Gyp
hills extend for miles and miles, each
hill almost worth its weight in money
if the product thereof can only be
worked up into commercial form. For
this reason Darrow was started by the
Guthrie, Fairview and Western com-
pany and will build rapidly. The plans
are already complete for immense
gypsum plants, where plaster and ce-
ment will be manufactured in suf-
ficient quantities to supply a great
part of the world's supply. In addition
there is a sum ol $5,000 set aside by
the company for a telephone system.
$10,000 for an electric light plant,
$20,000 for waterworks, $25,000 for

Guthrie. Nov. 15.—The big question,
politically, is what will be tendered
donated or pressed upon Charles H.
Fllson of Guthrie, the successful chair-
man of the republican territorial com-
mittee during the last campaign. Mr.
Filson proved an indefatigable worker,
and there is no doubt that his plan-
ning of campaign matters and sizing
up and controlling conditions, had
much to do, very much, with the re-
election of Bird McGuire to congress.
Filson is a thorough politician, not a
narrow one. and he would liftve been
the first to congratulate his opponent,
had the latter been elected.
After Cash Cade of Shawnee, won
the fight two years ago for Bird Mc-
Guire. he was asked what he wanted
and was made national committeeman
from Oklahoma. When Territorial
Secretary Vernon Whiting was asked
what he wanted, he was rewarded
with the Enid postoflice. one of the
best in the territory; now. what does
Filson want? He says nothing; but
Filson is a politician; he says he will ^ —
never manage another campaign, for J rje waste, with the Gyp hills ex. nd-
it is too trying on the nerves. 1 jns in all directions. By the date
There is an underground report at
present that Filson will succeed Wil-
liam Grimes, when the latter's term
expires, as secretary of the territory;
but there is not much salary in that
