Billy Lyon’s and Townsend’s
campaign beer was a rank false-
hood, there having been no such
partnership in existence and
neither gentleman having in any
instance ever resorted to that
means of influencing voters.
It is a fact, to which he pleads
guilty, that Judge Jones took
advantage of the opportunity to
get in a car and ride to Cushing
with a deputy sheriff. As far
as intefering with the contention
with "Slim” Gilbert and the
Stillwater constables is concern-
ed, The Democrat holds and
is prepared to prove that Judge
Jones had no more right to in-
terfere than any other citizen.
That he did exactly right in
having nothing to do with the
i affair at that time is a plain
proposition.
It has been stated that the
Stillwater officers told the by-
standers to help themselvef to
that “campaign beer,” and it is
jeing asserted that a number of
reputable citizens are ready to
swear to the statement, but The
Democrat does not believe it,
A memher of the Stillwater
force declared that there was no
court injuention on any building
broken into by himself and as-
sociates, but according to the
best information the Democrat
could obtain the force disregard-
ed Judge Huston’s injuention in
two instances and were’there fore
subject to arrest by any officer
cognizant of the fact. If such
was the case, the notorious
'Slim” Gilbert was justified in
their arrest and incarceration.
If such was not the case, he
made a serious mistake and a
mistake which he will be called
upon to answer for at the proper
time and in the proper manner.
A. G. (“Slim”) Gilbert has
proven himself the best officer
on the sheriff’s force. He has
proven himself the most effect-
ive man employed on that force
since this writer has been in
Payne county. Since January 1
he has apprehended 16 murder-
ers, or alleged murderers, and
no officer on duty during the past
twelve years has taken as many
transgressors in the same length
of time as he has taken since
Sheriff Townsend appointed him
deputy, “Slim” goes after and
gets gunmen and outlaws, mur-
derers and burglars, bootleggers
among the hardup workmen of
that community, then watch us
senp slueths into that city to help
its people attend to their own
business. If that condition ever
comes to Stillwater, the county
sheriff will need help from both
home and abroad. Even as con-
ditions are, with the solid senti-
ment of the community support-
ing him, it is impossible for any
man to entirely shut booze out
of the community.
The last grand jury cost
Payne county taxpayers in the
neighborhood of $1,200, and

plete vindication of the sheriff

PROHIBITION GOVERNORS.
Each of the seven states which out-
lawed the liquor traffic January 1 is
fortunate in having a governor whe
is heartily in favor of prohibition and
will uphold the law.
Governor Carlson of Colorado says
he will enforce it even to the extent
of calling upon the state miiitia. Gov-
ernor Lester of Washington urges an
appropriation of $50,000 to be used
in enforcement. Governor Withy-
combe of Oregon expresses confidence
that an overwhelming majority of the
citizens of the state mean to see that
the provisions of the law are lived up
to and that they may count upon his
help to the utmost. Governor Alex-
ander’s vigorous championship of the
statutory prohibition law of Idaho is
well known, and his personal influence
was used to secure the referendum on
the constitutional amendment to be
taken next November.
When Governor Hay of Arkansas
signed the prohibition bill, he said: “I
believe the most manly act of my life,
an act that will mean much to me, to
my conscience, to my wife, to my two
little boys, and to the people of the
state to which 1 owe so much, was the
act I performed when I placed my sig-
nature to the bill which gave Arkansas
state-wide prohibition.”
“Mur retreat began protected on the
flank by n detachment of chasseurs.
The heads of the column on leaving
the wood were welcomed by a cross-
fire from the enemy's mitrailleuses. It
was of no use to attempt a reply, and
the fragments of the section which
were able to escape from that* zone
rallied at Haumont on the first line
of our second position.
“Colonel Driant bad wished to set
out among the last. He was lust seen
by a chasseur, who was cut off with
him by the same storm of shells. After
the bombardment had temporarily '
slackened Colonel Driant made the
chasseur leave first, crying to him,
‘Good-by and good luck.’ He remained

men were left In the wood, anil baa

Oakland. Cal.—A house, the interior
of which no woman has ever seen. For
17 years, or ever since It was erected.
Its doors have been closed to woman-
kind. It rises to a height of four sto-
ries, and cannon stick cut from the
concrete foundation, giving it the ap-
pearance of a fortress. It is occupied
by a confirmed bachelor, who says:
“Get married? I guess not!” Such la
the house located at No. 3753 Brook-
dale avenue, and owned, occupied and
conducted bjr E. A. Nygren, an ex-
EOldier.
Like a Moorish Fort.
Since 1899 Nygrcn hts dwelt alone
In his eccentric lodge, sleeping at
night in the topmost turret, like a min-
ute man prepared for any emergency.
His house is built after the manner ot
a Moorish fort. From the concrete
base 14 six-igeh cannon bristle 6ut in
dcfiaace to the would-be despgiler ol
homos. Resting on top of this base it;
a smaller circular sthry, on top of tfclB
another, and the whole structure is
topped by a little watch tower. In
the yard a fountain plays over a belli-
cose-looking medieval turret, and even
the tank-house takes on tho aspect of
watchful waiting, with two k!g eyes
cut through the top stcry.
Says It’s Just a Fancy.
“It’s just a fancy of mine,” ex-
plained Nygren. "besides, I get more
lir and sunshine with the house built
like this. I’d like to sell. It’s too
expensive a place for a bachelor. The
birds are building nests in my can-
nons and tho placo is running down.
Get married? I guejs not. When a
fellow gets as old as I wn and has a
little money saved up, he grows sus-
picious of all the women.”

ites are Fichte and Descartes. “They’re
