There is an* appar ently well founded
rumor that Mr. Dearlng has conferred

Mechanics' or material liens can not
be enforced against houses built by
lessees on Indian allotments, accord-
ing to a decision by Judge John J.
Carney in the district 'court at El
ituno this week, I'nited States Dis-
trict Attorney John Embry, who look
ed after trfo Interest of tho Indian al
lottce, has Just returned from El Reno
after securing a derision In his favor
oxi the point for which ho contended.
•In the case just decided a house had
been built by the assignee of an In
dain lease. The lumber was furnish-
ed by an El Reno lumbermen by the
name of Huffa-ker, who when he fail-
ed to receive pay for it brought suit to
secure a lien on the house. The court
decided that permanent improvements
of that sort become a part of the real
estate, the title to which is held by
the government in trust for tho Indian
and that the lien could -not be enforc-
ed against It.
Tho decision is vefy wide import
ance, in view of the large .number of
Indain allottments in parts of the
state, where the Situation ia the same
as in this case.

TOPEKA, August -1. -Tho kidnapers
of Marion Bleak ley, the little five yeai
old girl taken by force from the haine of
her parents today, are still at large to-
night. Officers are acouring the dfeuntr?
around Tokepa in automobiles and have
sent out descriptions of the kidnapers
in every direction in an effort to ap-
prehend them.*
Only one rumor &> to thfj; wl

chief of police this afternoon stated that
a party in an automobile answering the
description of the kidnapers had been
seen eight miles south «v'f Lawrence

vheory has been advanced here that

In Speech at, Wynnewood Places the Garvin County Herald in His
Celebrated Annanias G;uss It Survives Tin: Herald Tells
About It in News Columns.
At the Wynnewood picn!^ last Satur
day Charles N. Haskell, Governor of the
great State of Oklahoma enlivened his
audience by placing the Herald in his
S« !•• t Annul.la - t'lass.
Gov. Haskell commenced his speech by
saying "he would huve to be very care-
ful In bra remarks or the Garvin County
Herald, whose editor was the greatest
Margin the land, would be sure to write
him up and misquote him."
After he had made love to the Social-
ists by saying* that the Socialists and
Democrats were all working for a better
government, he harl d back to tlie Her-
ald again and said:

should learn to tell the truth; the Ladles
Aid Society should take him in hanu

ever."
The Governor then dropped back into
his regular gait, going into details and
proving conclusively that the Democratic

and abovd reproach, (This is a "lie" the
Herald admits.) He made an exhaustive (

PORT GIBSON, Okla.. August 21 —B
the second crop of potatoes in Oklahonu
this year turns out as well as tho firs
one, this seems likely to be a banner yeoj
f..r the pot&to growers of the state. Okla
homa has two big potato growing dis
ti lets, one In the Canadian river bottomi
in Hpttawatoroie county, and the other ti
ti low lands along the Arkansas rivei
in m,i • ii<i ^Sequoyah counties. B°tl

Oklahoma will raise between 4,000,000 ano

running a little short of 2,000,000 bushels,
TOTAL INCOME GREAT.
Tho total income of tho potato grow*
era for these short years has been prac-
tically up to the normal, however, afl| till

Five or six years aK ' the market usuatl*
