Mcalester, July 12 —
Among the seventeen prison-
ers received at the state
penitentiary Wednesday was
Mary Ford. 22 years old, sen-
tenced to seventy-five years
imprisonment for man-
slaughter. She killed a wo-
man in Garfield county of
whom she is said to be jeal-
ous. although she contended
that she was shooting at her
husband, John Ford, and
missing him. killed the wo-
man. A charge of man-
slaughter was placed against
her and a jury promptly con-
victed her and affixed the
unusually extreme penalty.
The statute makes the pun-
ishment for manslaughter in
the first degree not less than
four years' imprisonment
and fixes no maximum.
Governor Cruce on
Capital Situation
OKLAHOMA CITY, July 12. A
multitude of inquiries regarding his
ittitude on the state rapital question
ivere answered by Governor Cruce
in a letter mailed to W. H. Borne of
Bartlesville Tuesday night.
Since the announcement that
Guthrie would initiate a bill relo-
cating the seat of government at that
city, the governor has been plied
constantly with questioning letters
and importuned from every part of
the state as to the position he would
assume in the statewide campaign
on the measure. He had refrained
from expressing himself until the
letter to Borne.
Absolute neutrality in the contest
would be his policy, the governor
asured llorne, but that his personal
sympathies lay with Oklahoma City,
tlie letter indicated rather clearly
In substance the letter declared that
Oklahoma City had made no prom-
ises to the state regarding the capi-
tal, to be considered binding on the
community. On the contrary,
the governor explained that a
number of real estate men and citi-
zena had by their representations
created the impression that the city
was obligating itself to erect a cap-
itol free of cost to the taxpayers.
GUTHRIE, Okla., July 11.—The
Guthrie chamber of commerce will
file with the secretary of state July
15 a total of 53,000 signatures to
petitions asking an election in Ne-
vember on this city's initiated peti-
tion to amend the state constitution
to locate the state capitol permanent-
ly at Guthrie after January 1 next.
The time limit when the petitions
with signatures can be tiled is July
18. The total number of signatures
necessary to have an election called
ls about 37,000.
Fred. L. Wenner of the chamber
of commerce, who has been manag-
ing the capital campaign, says: "We
started the fight only after Attorney
General West gave as his official op-
inion that there is no binding con-
tract existing between the state and
Oklahoma Cltv regarding the loca-
tion. We have found an encourag-
ing sentiment over the entire state
and have had hut little difficulty in
geting signatures. The voters ex-
pres themselves very willing to sign
the petitions."
The faet that Oklahoma City did
not have the first shovel of earth
thrown oil the capitol site as schedul-
ed on July 4, and the statement of
Governor Cruce that It Is indefinite
when any work will be done, are fa-
ken here to mean that Attorney Gen-
eral West's opinion is accepted there,
as in Guthrie, as final.
Sprains require careful treatment.
Keep quiet and apply chamberlain's
Liniment freely. It. will remove the
soreness and quickly restore the
parts to a healthy condition. For

NEAItIA IOO VICTIMS OF
HEAT IX MONTREA1
MONTREAL, July 12.—Ninety
five funerals wet;e held today and
the majority of those buried were
victims of the recent hot spell. Eigh-
ty of the dead were children. The
demand for hearses w^s so pressing
that many of the bodies had to be
taken to the graveyards in cabs. A
horse attached to a hearse fell dead
in one of the funeral processions.

THE OZARK \ ACl'I'M CLEANER.
Mrs. Fnderwod's vacuum cleaner
lias at last come to grief. A few-
days ago one of the children took it
apart to examine its inner workings
and reassembled it with the pump
reversed. The following day To-
bias Toppleton's hired man, while
eating peas, lost his grip on the
knife he was using as hoistcr and it
slipped down his throat. Much con-
sternation ensued and a boy was liur-
ridly sent for the vacuum cleaner,
and when he returned with it To-
bias placed it to the inouth of the
suffering man and began to pump
with a nervous vigor. 1 have pre-
viously explained that the pump was
reversed. Before they discovered it
the hired man's inflated carcass ex-
ploded and awoke the echoes that
have lain domant since the battle
of Pea Ridge. Moses Rodd, two
miles away, was so unnerved by the
explosion that he wrapped an old
Confederate flag about his trembl-
ing form and told his wife to bury
him beneath the old oak tree by the
spring.—Rogers (Ark.) Co-Opera-
