take out his share and wau assist-

Farmer came to town early
Tueseay morning and went to the
Broken Arrow Hardware compa-

thirty-two calibre rifle. He stat-
ed the wolyes were troubling his
stock and he wanted to shoot
them. When he arrived home he
at once went to the field where
Lukenbiil and Glen were working.
He first asked Lukenbiil if he was
armed whereupon the latter laugh-
ed and said ho was not. Farmer
then toid him if he husked another

The New State paving Company i

jbrought against the concern by
l local laboi union men at the re-
quest of officials of the stato fed-
eration of labor on the charge of j
violating the Oklahoma eight-hour
law. It wns claimed that the pay- j
ing company had worked laborers
over hours and hands had been i
made to work long hours. This j
case which was brought in the
county court here, in order to test
the law. has been watched with
keen interest thooughout the state
and considered bv a.l as a genu-

LIKE THE ORDINARY MORTAL.
Track for West Tulsa
There are many improvements
in IWest Tulsa, but among the
most important is another big
stretch of sidetrack to be installed
by the Frisco railroad immediately
and much of the material is on the
ground. The Frisco has now over
half a mile of sidetrack there, but
the junction of the A. V. and W.
is necessitating mure siding. A
freight house and a passenger!
ticket office have also been estab-
lished in West Tulsa-

Glen to stop and the latter ran out
of the fied.
After he had fired the shot Far-
mer started home and when in the
road he met Ed York, J W Laha-
han and H A Chapman to whom
he told what he had done. These
men went to see Lukenbill and
found him lying down. They put
him in their hack and started to
take him home. He requested
them to raise his head as he was
smothering. They did so when he
said Farmer had killed him. He
shortly expired. Lukenbill was a
good man and was well known
here where he mostly traded. He

Death of J. G. McGannon
J. G. McGannon, president of
the Central National Bank, died
very suddenly last Wednesday
afternoon, of accute indigestion.
He ate some oysters at about 3
o'clock and died at 5 o'clock the
same afterooon. Dr. C. L. Reeder
of Tulsa was summoned, but his
skill could not prevail.
Mr. McGannon came to Tulsa
something over a year ago, from
Seneca. Mo. He was a financial
leader in Tulsa’s moneyed circle,
High Church Dignitary Had Name to
Sign to Check.
A comical story Is told of the arch-
bishop of York, who is an ardent fish-
erman. Not long ago he betook him-
self for a few days to a little Yorkshire
village, which boasted a good trout
stream, and put up at a clean but mod-
•et hotel
His grace on his arrival informed
tie landlord who he was, and on leav-
ing wrote a check for his bill and
banded It to his host.
Tho landlord closely scanned the
signature and asked: "What name is
this?"
"W. Ebor," answered his grace.
"Ah,’ said the landlord, as he pock-
eted the check, "J thought you « re
telling me a falsehood when you toll
me you were the a chhishop of York.”
The man evidently did not know
that an archbishop ha a name like
an ordinary person.
Pressed Clear Through.
Children have a very fair idea of
whet col stitutes jus lcc and d -< idedly
obj-~-t - pvulti.- l more than
they tiling tiey deserve. A bright, lit-
tle seven-year-old committed some
trifling misdemeanor and was takin to
task very seriously by her mother.
After listening some time in silence, -
Mabel said: "What makes you keep
talking to me so, mamma?” Because,’1
replied the mother, "1 want to impress
it upon your mind so that you won’t
do It again.” "Well,” was the response,
with the faintest quiver of grief in her
voice, "1 think I’m 'pressed clear
through now." What could the moth-
er do but conclude that the lesson had
been sufficiently ” ’pressed” for the
time being, and send the little culprit
about her play?
Man’s Heart Is a Shuttle.
A man's life Is laid in the loom of ,
time to a pattern which he does not
Bee, but God does, and his heart is
a shuttle. On one side of the loom is
sorrow, and on the other is joy; and
the shuttle, struck alternately by each,
flies back and forth, carrying the
thread which is white or black as the
pattern needs. And in the end, when
God shall lift up the finished garment,
and all Its changing hues shall glance
out, It will then appear that the deep
and dark colors were as needful to
beauty as the bright and high color*.
—Beecher.
WHY SHE “SHOOK" HER FRIEND.
Shopper Preferred to Be Alone When
Purchasing Shoes.
A woman sat down In the- shoe de-
partment of a New York store and
bade tbe clerk hurry. "1 left a friend
m the lace counter,” she said, and
1 want to get nr shoe li'tcl before
she gets here."
The clerk apparently appreciated
the creumsiam - - 11- worked f.i-t,
and in an Incredibly short time the
woman had selected three satisfactory
pairs of shoes.
"I wonder why she was so anxious
to I
came," remarked another cur-tomer.
“For tin- same reason that makes
every woman want to -Imp Mon when
buying shoes.’ lau -hed the clerk ".--he
ha-> rather u large foot, and she didn't
want her friend to find out what num-
ber she wears. It Is seldom that the pur-
chasers of shoes shop In pairs They
may hang together when buying any-
thing else In the store, but when it
comes to shoes each woman strikes
out for herself. The only exception Is
the woman who has an unusually
small foot. Sim would take her whole
list of acquaintances along when buy-
ing shoes if she could.”

EXAMPLES OF MEDIEVAL ART.
Fine Stained Glass Windows Recently
Received at New York.
The two German windows of stnlned
glass among the recent acquisitions
belong in period to the early sixteenth
century, at the time when medieval-
ism passes over into renaissance. Tho
color Is lighter and paler than that of
the preceding century and is secondary
in Importance to tho design. In the
examples at tho niu.-eum are certain
tints of yellow that began to be used
in the middle of the lit! enth century,
as tasty changed in favor of lighter
rooms. The subjects of the windows
are St. John and St. Maxlmlne against
a background of tarn . i \ mid archi-
tecture treated so us i-> appear on
the w-ain, t-.—iK. uo i he h .-i The
author of the note on the windows In
the Museum Bulletin says that the
drawing is undoubtedly the work of a
painter—anil a very good one—of the
Ober Rhein school, and that as St.
Maxlmine was bishop of Trier, tho
supposition that the glass Is from
that source is probably correct. Very
fine examples of the same period are
those In the nave of Cologne cathe-
dral.—New York Times.
The Irishman's Prayer.
An Irish member of a gang of
■trike-breakers who wore passing their
first night In one of the buildings of
a certain Chicago beef company, not
long ago, had knelt In prayer at the
6ide of one of the long line of cots
Just before retiring for tbe night,
when suddenly a shoe sailed through
the air and landed on the bed in front
of him.
Raising Ills eyes until they rested
on this leather missile, the religious
Celt broke off praying long enough to
.each out and draw the shoe to him.
Then In loud, fervent tones he con-
cluded his prayer:
"O Lord, Ot’ll bother Ye no more If
ye'll Bind me fch' mule to this wan!”
