Not since El Reno has been known as
a town, have the services been so elab-

bv her people for this 20th day of May.
The program was thoroughly carried
out, commencing at 11 o'clock in the
morning with a parade which was
splendidly arranged and the largest of
its kind that ever passed through the
,11 streets of this town. The parade was

Last Monday the city attorney put
himself and the News, bis mouthpiece,
in a laughable position to say the least.
The marshal had a knight of the boards
up in the police court for gambling.
When the information was read, the
sir knight called the turn on the poiier
judge before the city attorney had time
to come into ihe game and the pot was
opened for $ltf.25 for the city. Billy
got gay, as usual, and demanded to
have the marshal sworn, ostensibly to
see if he could not develop the where-
1 abouts of another game. The marshal
j said he could not accommodate him

i upon the police judge informed the city
attorney that he desired to do a luilo |

in that direction put the city attorney
under oath as to what he knew about
gambling and other kindred violations
of the law in El Reno. The city at-
torney, when he saw that he had been
caught in his own trap, stammered,
blushed and then -wore that he knew
| of no violations whatever. The city in
summing up the evidence was forced to
