DEATH OF MR.
JAMES ANTRIM
News came to Norman on Sat-
urday evening of the death at li's
home southwest of Moore about 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon of Mr.
Jas. Antrim, one of the best
known and highly respected men
of that community. His ddath
was very sudden, and was caused
by heart disease. lie has been in
delicate health for a year or more,
but thought he was well enough to
go to where his threshing outfit
was working to pay the hands,
and was writing out checks when
he fell over and expired almost
instantly.
Mr. Antrim came to Oklahoma
from Burlington, some years a^o.
locating at Snyder, Okla., later
moving to near Moor^. He was
in the 56th year of his age, and
was regarded as one of the best
citizens of his community; a
straight, honorable and upright
man.
The funeral will be heM at
Moore this (Monday) afternoon
under the auspices of the I. O. O.
F., of which he was a prominent
member. Rev. Aszman will con-
duct the services, and burial will
be made in the Moore cemetery.
Many friends extend to the
stricken family their sincere sym-
pathies.

his age, son of Mrs. Schrewsbury,

were both caught in the suction
caused by turning the wheat into
a car from the elevator. The boys
were playing in the wheat bin
at the elevator. .Mr. Lewis had
the wheat turned into a car which
they were loading. The boys
V'ere sucked down to the spout
and held there while the wheat
covered them' over. Little DeAl-
| rick was dead, but the other boy
| was still alive when they were
found and brought to by artificial
respiration.
When the boys saw the wheat
coming down into the bins, ac-
cording to Clyde Schrewsbury,
one said to the other, "We are
going to get covered up." The
little Lewis boy said "We are gon-
ners." When the wheat failed to
move out of the bins, the men in-
vestigated and found the Schrews-
bury boy doubled up with his
hands over his mouth to keep the
wheat out, and all but uncon-
scious. The little Lewis boy was
found dead with his mouth full
of wheat.

CITY COMMISSIONERS
(Editorial.)
Now that the candidates for
Mayor and C't.v Coni,ll*>s*°,,eri
have all filed, it behooves the vo-
ters ot Norman to scan the list
carefully and conscientiously and
pick out the man or men wi.o
they think will best fill the I. • !.
Neither animosity nor mere per-
sonal attachment should act>i. .■

Much depends upon getting the
city started right, under the new
charter. Start it right, and it will
take care of itself to a great de-
gree; start it wrong, and it may
take many months or years to get
it back into the proper groove.
He careful how you vote and vote
for the good of the city. Put the
men at the head of the affairs of
the city that you would want to
conduct your own personal af-
fairs. Every citizen and every
property owner is vitally interest-
ed in this matter and should take
it home to himself or herself.
Republican voters have no voice
in the matter except to use their
influence with the Democratic vo-
ters to vote right. All the candi-
dates in the primary are Demo-
crats and those registered a^ Re-
publicans cannot therefore vote.
Seems unjust, in a way, but that's
the law.
In this connection it may per-
haps not be amiss to state that
the men who filed at the behest
of the Chamber of Commerce—
Messrs. E. L. Cralle for mayor
(at large), Ed Hutson in the first
ward, Tom E. Smith in the second
R. W. Hutto in the third and M.
F. Fisher in the fourth—did so
only after the most earnest solici-
tation of said Chamber of Com-
merce. There has been an intima-
tion that they were handpicked at
a secret meeting. That is not the
fact. The meeting at which they
were solicited and urged to make
the race was an open meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce called
to consider road matters, and the
I matter of candidates for commis-
sioners came up merely as a side
issue. There was in no way any
thought or intention of making it
a "star chamber" proceeding, .and
all present took part in the dis-
cussion, the only thought of all
present being to get the very best
men to allow their names to be
used. What was done at that
meeting was done open and above
board, with an eye single to the
good of the city. Not one of the
men named desired to make the
race but had to be drafted in the
fullest acceptation of that term.
Since these men have filed
others have shied their hats into
the ring, which is perfectly proper
and right, and if any of them are
nominated and elected over the
first ones who filed they will be
given the same active and earnest
support by the Chamber of Com-
merce. That body seeks only the
very best interests of the city.
That is what it was organized for,
and what it will1 at all times and
under all circumstances endeavor
to secure.
