Bold Robbery In
Broad Daylight
Hudson's Jewelry Store
Robbed Sunday Af-
ternoon of 22 Dia-
mond Rings
From Monday's Daily.
Yesterday afternoon between 12 and
3 o'clock, while the town was endeav-
oring in its weak way to keep cool
under a scorching tropical sun, burglars
took advantage of the situation and by
prying off two iron bars from, a rear
window of the Hudson store forced an
entrance through the same and secured
twenty two diamond rings from a tray
in the front, window. After securing
their plunder they made their exit
through the rear door of the store
The theft was discovered about 3
o'clock in the afternoon when Messrs.
Hudson, Mohler and John Adair stepped
into the store to discuss some friendly
matters. Mr. Mohler first discovered
the diamond ring tray lying
on the floor and called Mr. Hudson's at-
tention to it. An investigation dis-
closed the fact that twenty-two dia-
mond rings, valued at over #1,200.00

diamonds were left in the tray. Of the j way back in the days following ihe
twenty-two missing every one was a ciyil war when they took the land from
salitaire and valued up to one hundred the Indians and gave it to the negroes
seventy five dollars each. Investigation
showed the way of entrance, which was
no little task, as the bottom of the win-
dow is fully six feet from the ground
A small tree which grows in front of
the window and whose foliage would
serve as a blind for the burglar, is
probably responsible for this particular
window being used.
The police were immediately notified
and the Chandler blood hounds, to-
gether with two hounds from the carni-
val, were sent for but were unable to
take up the trail, this was probably due
to the fact that a number of persons
had been about the window before the
police arrived to keep them back.
Mr. Hudson, in less than thirty uiin-
utos, had a card in the window offering
#100.00 reward for the return of the
goods and now offers #150.00, for
the arrest and cf conviction of the
burglars.
This is the first burglary since the
beginning of the payment and, while a
ioi of nndesirab'es are attracted here
on this account, the police have so
completely blanketed the city that such
a thing was thought impossible. It is a
yery lamentable that burglary occurred
and while no arrests have so far been
made, the police have several clues to
work on, and it is quite probable the
guilty parties will be apprehended in
the near future.
J. S. Burton of Peggs, who had the
misfortune of being kicked on the right
leg by a horse about a year ago. caus-
ing cancer, and who was taken to the
Baptist hospital at Muskogee about two
weeks ago, had hi8 leg amutated below
the knee on the 11th instant and is re-
ported as doing nicely and if no com-
plications arise will be able to return
home the first of next week.
for political purposes. It was the repub-
licans who took the plantations which
the Indians had made productive and
gave them to the negroes. It is the re-
publicans who even now are trying to
rob the Choctaw and Chickasaw In-
dians of 14,000 allotments and give
them to negroes The grandfather
clause is in no danger from the Indian.
This will be his first chance to swat the
negro since the time the negroes grabb-
ed the Indian's land, and he is going to
swat him good and hard.—Muskogee

NOTES FROM
THE NORMAL
The examinations begin
morning at 7.30 a. m.
Thursday
In our next communication we will tell
you where the teachers will spend th> ir
vacation.
Mrs. Pearl Buchannon who has been
critic teacher in the normal left Tuesday
for her home in Wichita Kansas, on a
Visit.
Supt. Ralston of Cherokee county
reorganized the teachers' reading circle
Tuesday afternoon at 2 30. in the Nor-
mal chapel.
Rev. T. L King of Oklahoma City
visited tho Normal Tuesday, lie has
been appointed Field agent of Bacone
University.
A splendid program has been arrang-
ed for Wednesday night in the chap-
el. Not only are the students invited
but a cordial invitation is extended to
all.
The enrollment far tho year has
reach the 511 mark. What do you
think of this for the year? Trne thero
were not that many in tho Normal at
any one time. Some entered the school
lust fall until their schools began, some
taught after Christinas, and some did
not enter until their schools closed in
the Spring. This is the case in all
such schools, in fact tho average at-
tendence in even city school is not as
great as its enrollment. The prosepcts
for a larger enrollment next session is
very encouraging even this early.
Will you help to draw students to the
school next year or will you do other-
wise t It is to uo feared some have
done otherwise during the past year
and yet the ochool has grown.
Improvements are still going ou at
the normal and equipment for the
school is now arriving. By Sept. 1st
you will l>e surprised to see the interior.
The program rendered last Friday
night in the normal chapel by the stu-
dents was a very creditable one and
reflected credit on those on the program.
Sapulpa, Okla., July 20.—Creek
County farmers are greatly alarmed
over the presence of many horse thieyes
and an organized effort will be made to
rid the country of them. Two valu-
able horses were stolen from Mrs.
Sallie Baker, a widow lady at Kelley
ville, Saturday night and the robbers
ha\e not been apprehended. Anti Horse
Thief Association, a powerful organiza-
tion during territorial days, is to be
revived.
A fiue family horse, sound, eight
years old, also buggy, harness and
saddle. D. Frank Redd.
7-20-4t. Phones 33 and 53.
President Redd gave the students a
most helpful talk this morning at chap-
el exercise. He is very popular with
the student body.
Miss Ballard is workiug heroically
for 300 magazine subscribers in order
to win an eastern trip. The magazine
is a good one and Miss Ballard should
have that trip by all means.
It is with regret that we learn that
some of our students being sick. Up
to this date there has not been a death
among the students during the past year
which is a remarkable record.
The Teachers' bureau has been enroll-
ing teachers this week who want posi-
tions. The faculty committ ee expects
to help a number to get schools through
this bureau.
Several want to come here to run a
students boarding club for next session.
Board could be furnished cheaper ibis
Way which would induce more students
to come to the normal. The advisabili-
ty of this is now being considered.
This however would not interfere with
other boarding houses because more
students will be here this fall than last
year.
Thief Caught
In the Act
From Wednesday's Daily.
Jim Fields (colored), a resident of this
city, was arrested tiiis morning in the
postofliee with enough evidence in his
pocket to get him into serious trouble.
For some two weeks parties who have
boxes at the postoffice have Ijeen miss-
ing their mail. Last night Fields was
seen, by a non interested party, taking
mail from three different boxes.
He was followed down the street
and was seeu to discard a portion of the
mail. An officer wa3 notified but was
unable to locate him
This morning Fields called at the
office for his own mail and was at once
ptaced under arrest by officers Johnson
and Connor. He was searched and mail
addressed to prominent business men
of this city was found in his possession.
Fields was placed in jail and as it a
case for the federal court to deal with
the officers of Uncle Sam were notified
to come and get their property.
Since the above was written Post-
master Gray informs us that the mail
robbery has been going on for months.
In spite ot a close watch mail has mys-
teriously disappeared which indicates
that Fields is a pretty smooth artist to
escape detection so long. Mr. Gray
has had a burden lifted from his mind
by the capture and as Uncle Sam is
pretty severe on mail thieves it is liable
to be several years before the thief will
have an opportunity to bother another
postmaster.
