this afternoon, and asking the phy-
sician how much strychlnno it \yould

small vial containing the stuff and pro-
ceeded to empty the same. Before tin-

Dr. Brown called in Chief Thompson

which saved his life. The man was Int

This is a tmatter that concerns even
resident an dtax payer of this city and

the bridge across tit" river, the need
of better highways is more keenly felt
Double Killing
Claremore was the scene of a
double killing last Saturday even-
ing. Mosley, who was on the po-
lice force of that city, while in a
quarrel with his wife shot and kill-
ed her. In trying to escape ar-
rest Mosely was shot and instanly
killed by Sheriff Stephens.
There is no necessity for any
one to complain of ennui in Tulsa,
as nearly every street corner is
the scene of some Interest, during
the day, and at night there are
five theatres and six amusement
parks, open to the public, to say
nothing of the trasient shows
which come and go.
Science comes forward with the
assertion that a wireless spark has
been discovered that will at any
distance blow up a battleship.
The inventor who can figure out
how to prevent the parental blow-
ing up after the spark will be
the genius most sought.
The young people of Tigart
Memorial church enjoyed an ice

A. C. Archer Friday evening.
Music games and a pleasant time
