THE DEMOCRAT-TOPIC
PUBLISHED WEEKLY.
BY Hbhh & CAKK.
Official City and County Paper.
Jacob Rolt Injured.
Wednesday while Jacob Kott, who
lives near Noble, was at work in his
field with a stalkcutter his team became
a little fractious and in the endeavor to
coutrol them he fell and was thrown
in front of the machine, the horses
starting up at the same time. Mr.
Rott was caught by the blades of the
machine in such a manner that he
could not extricate himself and he was
thus dragged a distance of about 150
yards by the frightened team, when
he managed to seize the reins and
back the machine off. A passing
neighbor heard his cries and hurried
to his assistance and he was conveyed
to his home.
Dr. Wilson of this place was sum
moued and upon his arrival found the
injury so serious as to necessitate as
sistauce, whereupon he 'phoned I)r.
Capshaw. The inside upper part of
his legs were found to have the flesh
almost entirely cut out and torn fron
them, there being not less than sixty
gashes. Over 100 stitches were re
quired to close the w ounds which were
iu very had shape in view of Mr. Kott
being dragged so far. Remarkable as
it may seem, no bones were broken,
and while the wounds are very severe
and painful, not to say dangerous, he
stands more than a fair chance for re
covery.

orchestra gave its first concert to a
well filled house. Considering the

ganized the performers gave a most

The administration has a poet
laureate, a colonel bearing the ro-
mantic name of Hopkins. At the
banquet given by Secretary Root
to Gov. Taft the other evening he
offered:
"The toast, with brimming glasses
to be quaffed,
There's but one name tonight, and
that is Taft,"
If he had had an eye to sudden
promotion, he would probably have
added:
"Like baseball friends, the army,

Has but one word for praise, and
that is Root!"

The Oklahoma republican con-
vention for the selection of dele-
gates to the National Republican
convention and the nomination of
a delegate to congress, will be held
at Guthrie April 7. The majority
of the committee saw very plainly
if Mr. McGuire secured the nomi-
nation it must be done before Con-
gress adjourns as his pet hobby has
been statehood for Oklahoma alone
and his ideas are out of joint with
the leading republican members of
Congress.
Mexico has been asked to sur-
render one of the St. Louis bood-

will consent provided our govern-
ment agrees to grant a similar re-
quest coming from Mexico. We
hope this kind of international
courtesy will not extend to China,
as the Empress would demand all
the fugitive editors who are now
safe from her executioners.

in cohesive elements. The repub-

jaw. She earnestly called atten-
to that fact aud added "but thank
God they hit."
