LIEUT. HUNTBIi GONE WRONG
Arrested for Adultery in Still-
water.
GUTHlUE, O. T., Dec. 20.—(Special
to the Wave.)—James Hunter, tor-
inerly First Lieutenant of Co. A., Ok.
N. G., <>f this city, was arrested in
Stillwater yesterday on the charge
of adultery. A young woman, named
Bertha Leach, is also under arrest
with him as the woman in the case.
Hunter iB well known in this city
and has an estimable family. He be-
came infatuated with the woman of
"auburn locks" and eloped with her a
few days after the Territorial Militia
encampment at Enid. It is said that
court martial proceedings were to
have been Drought against him at
the time but he resigned. His resig-
nation, however, has not been ac-
cepted.

and sentenced to five years in the
pen. While awaiting the decision of
the supreme court on an appea in

calm evening and hied away. After
he had escaped the supreme court
granted him a new trial. The officers
never chased attcr Royce very much,
owing to the decision of the supreme

WAVE that bears unmistakable ev -
dence that Frank B. Royce is a Jus-

CAN-r TRUST THE COURTS.
The decision of the Ohio supreme
court that the Standard Oil trust of
Ohio is not a trust is another of those
decisions that cause a loss of popular
confidence in courts. The case has
been allowed to drag along for three
years, during which an anti-trust su-
preme judge has been defeated lor
^nomination, and now the case goes
off under an equal division of
court—three to three.—Leader.
Grover Cleveland, the Democratic
party wrecker, came out of his ground
hog hole the other day long enough
to advise the Democratic party to
return to Its old principles. That is
just what the Democratic party did
at Chicago In 1896 and stayed with
them at Kansas City In 1900. If
Grover Cleveland had come back to
the old line of sacred Jacksonian an
Jeffersonian Oemocratlc principles
the republican party would not ha;e
survived the crushing defeat It met
In 1892. Grover is still tiresome.

The system is weakened in win-

KICKED TO DEATH.
John Mungar, a driver of adellv"'
wagon at Oklahoma City, was ^e
to death by the horse he was drlvlr g
while sitting in the wagon. The an -
tnal broke both of his legs and finally
anded on the side of his head and
broke his neck. The horse kicked
him over a dozen times, bruising his
body horribly.

ford Herald gives out the following:

family likes it; in fact, we ail think
it a real household need. How wel-
come he is when he steps into the
sanctum! How he makes my hear
throb! How he makes my heart
dance! I outwardly thank him, 1 in-
wardly bless him, the steady sub-
scrioor who pays in advance.

THt KME MAN.
How he Worked a Something for
Nothing Crowd at Hennessey.
From the Hennessey Clipper:
Saturday a "pie man" struck town.
He announced that he was mi the
road giving away mnne> in nr.ier ti*
advertise some unkno*i toiniiany
and guaranteed to buw i tie o. wu .t
good time, indeed he <li'j '. a most
snmptuoustime delore he got ihtnugh
with them.
,t was the same old story. He had
twelve rings to sell at 50 cents each.
He sold them. ilieii i-mlim twelve
half dollars out ..I his pncKei he.-
placed it with ihe iHi.i.ey ti.«- rings ,
brought air handed it fiat- r.n the
purchasers Seein.ng «■> have a new /
idea, he recalled it, anuounc ag that .
he would show some < t tneae stingy y
mortats things which tney had never r
seen before. Kvery man of thema
hatidet1 him back the ttr.-t flttycenW-
aim the fifty the "company" hadu i
added to it.
Then he bad twelve rings ltie wouiQil
sell for $i.00 eaca. U<- sold them,,,
and the previous t,ertnrmaince wiaas
gone through with. $24.00 of ther
company's m mey was placed on - bea-
table with that, and twelve mace,-
rings were placed on sale, this tisne-
at tftsfft tacU and tbc cruwd cou'jin. ti
snatch them up quick enough.
When it was all In he had ?|0oof:
the people's money before hlmi.
"Now, gentlemen," ne a.d, '••fll*av«j

adding to it as much mcne aj,« ney of
mine? Or I may sti.sk, hit in my
pocket? And I guess ttia.ti is. what I
will do." And that iis. wliia.tt be did,
of course.
He had been standing ia bis buggy
during the enterta^nmev.t, and now
he started to dri ee out. The crowd
tried to detain him, and dia for a
short time, but oioone had the nerve-
to stay with it. and finally he gofct
away from thexa and was gone.

half hour's wwrk.
If that man'* evar strikes
he will taake a fortune out our
guys.
Now comes Oklahoma City with the
claim that Guthrie's population was
swollen by the use of the mirror. .
is claimed that the good wife of num
erous Guthrie homes stood in front o
a large mirror when the enumerator
called, then pointing to-her own im-
age in the mirror Innocently re-
marked: "That Is my twin sister,
Jennie, who is living with us." Jen-
nie's name was "sot down.

closed show about a dozen deaths.
The exchanges report cases of
smallpox in dfferent parts of the ter-
ritory. It would be the part of wis-
dom for the officers everywhere to be
on the lcokout for cases and take
prompt measures to stamp out the
dreadful disease. There are n9 signs
of it In this county, but the health
officers should bp, on the alert n
