REPORT OF SCHOOL
ATHLETICS PAST WEEK
During the past week the follow-
ing games were played in the North-
em District of the county, as of-
ficially reported to The iiuardian,
and the results will be of interest to
hundreds of school people:
November 23: Crowder grade boy#
vs. Indianola grade boys, on Crowder
court. Result—Indianola failed to re-
spond, thereby forfeiting the game to
Crowder, which gives a score of
Crowder, 2; Indianola, 0. On the same
date Crowder high school girls vs
f eatherston high school girls. Result
—Crowder 3, Featherston 1. On the
same date and same court the Feath-
erston high school boys played the
Indianola high school boys, with the
following result: Indianla, 43; Feath-
erston, 16.
November 24, on Blocker court, the
Crowder high school girls defeated
the Dlocker high school girls by a
.score of 12 to 0.
Same date and same court, Crowder
grade school boys won over Blocker
grade school boys by score of 2 to 0,
the blocker team having failed from
-ome cause to respond, thereby for-
feiting the game.
Reports from the Central and
Southern Districts are urgently re-
quested, in order that the progress
of the contests may be made famil-
iar to all the schools of the county.
AMATEUR HI-JACKEKS
HAVE HARD SLEDDING
Levi Oneth, Domineck Montreese
and Morris Jones, aged from 10 to
21 years, started out at Adamson last
Saturday evening to play "bad men"
and held up D. A. (jerardi, the Ad-
amson butcher. They had secreted
themselves by the roadside, and as
Gergrdi came along they made him
tick up his hands and robbed him ot
his proceeds of Saturday's business.
'Jerardi says he lost about $400.
Later they came to McAlester 't is
said, and are reported to have gone
to a local theatre and to have made
% division of their "swag" while there
snd also to have "taken in the carni^
val," but later returned to Adamson,
after hiding their money, or what was
left of it. One of their., Oneth, had
failed to slip his handkerchief over
his face when the hi-jacking was go-
ing1 on, so he was identified by Gerar-
li, who reported the robbery to of-
ficers. Onetb's arrest and confession
followed. He even took County At-
torney Whitt to a com crib where he
had stored $35 in bills. His com-
panions are also said to have re-
turned nearly $100 of }he alleged
stolen money. 1'enalties in the case
will follow.
CLYDE SALYAR HELD
ON CHARGE OF MURDER
"Held to the district court with
out bail," remarked Justice of the
Peacc R. A. Thompson, at the con
elusion of the preliminary trial of
Clyde Salyar, the atste prison con
ict charged with the brutal murder
ot Henry Andrews, another convict
at that institution, a week ago last
Sunday. The preliminary was held in
the district courtroom, Monday morn
mgr. and eleven convicts, in addition
to the defendant, were brought over
to testify in the case. Assistant
Prison Warden A. J. Jedlicka had the
defendant and other convists in
charge, assisted by guards from the
prison.
Andrews was killed about 2 o'clock
in the afternoon, after the lucheon
and after he had gone out and sat
down by the side of one of the prison
buildings to read. Salyar, according
to the evidence, struck him over the
head several times with a bar oi
cudgel, before he could get up to de
fend himself or even before he knew
danger was about.
C. D. King, one of the state wit
nesqes, a neat-appearing convict who
gave his age as 54 years, said he was
sitting not over 4 feet from Andrews
reading a newspaper when Salyar ap-
proached hurriedly and began to
strike Andrews over the head with a
bar of some sort. He said he never
heard any words between the two
men and that the only words spoken
were by Salyar after he had knocked
Andrews unconscious; that he then
kicked Andrews about the face or
head and applied a vile epithet to him,
taming afterwards and walking
away.
Only one witness introduced any
testimony differing from th- unani-
mous state evidence against Salyar.
One convict, who said he was sitting
about 40 feet from th^ trouble, de-
clared that he had heaid Andrews re-
mark to Salyar the previous day at the
brick-yard that "if he (Salyar) didn't
look out, he (Andrews) would help
him out the short way." Salyar is
said to have been angered because he
had been placed at some hard work
following refusal to assist Andrews at
a brick-making machine.
Throughout the trial the defendant
sat in a droop, taking apparently little
interest in the case one way or an-
other and is said to have hardly no-
ticed his father on his arrival at the
state prison the day before the pre-
liminary. His father did not stay for
the trial, but said he would be here in
January, when the case will probably
come on for trial in district court.
This is said to be third man Salyar
has killed, although he is not over 20
or 21 years of age. He was repre-
sented in the preliminary by T. W.
Smith, of the firm of Sewell & Smith.
County Attorney Whitt and Assistant
County Attorney Gotcher prosecuted
the case.
