BARTLESVILLE, OKLAHOMA SPWPAY, DECEMBER 12, 1909.
NUMBER 313.
M. F.'STILWELL
DIDN'T RESIGN
THOUGH THERE WAS BUT ONB
CANDIDATE.
Oounty Committee Asked Present Oc-
cupant to Remain and Avoid
Another Row.
As announced in The Examiner yes-
terday morning the Republican coun-
ty committee met in the office of
Moore & Mcllheny and did not agree
ont the name of a man to succeed
M. F. Stilwell as member of the
state committee. Consequently Mr.
Stilwell did not resign. And them
you are.
Before the committee got together
T. B. Higgins sent in a letter an-
nouncing that he was not a candidate
for the place. This left but the one
candidate, J. S. Leach, but even that
did not solve the difficulty, for some
reason or other, and the committee
thereupon requested Mr. Stilwell to
retain his place on the state commit-
tee.
As Mr. Stilwell had stated that
be would not resign if there was go-
ing to ibe another row or any tur-
moil. and as when the committee met
there was only one candidate for the
place, and as the present member
didn't resign, then—
You HI have to ask some member
of the committee to unwind this for
you. An Examiner man tried to
attend the meeting, but Charlie Hodge
wouldn't let him in.
OHERRYVALE WON.
Hifh School Basket Ball Team De-
feated by Score of 9 to 3.
The girls' basket ball team of the
local high school were defeated last
night at the Coliseum by the Cher-
ry vale high schol team by a score
of 9 to 3. The game was hard fought
and interesting throughout.
No Change in the Sentinel
The Bartlesville Examiner publish-
ed a letter last tjunday making the
announcement that Charles Haywood
had purchased the Sentinel, and
would assume charge on the 15th.
He also informed them that he would
make the paper independent.
In conversation with Mr. Culver,
the editor, we are informed that the
report is unfounded and that there
is nothing in it. Mr. Haywood was
here some time ago looking up a lo-
cation but came to no definite under-
standing and nothing further was
done. Mr. Haywood also talked ot
buying the World but was not in a
condition to purchase. We do not
believe that he will get in the news-
paper business in this city very soon.

officers had disbanded, Cavenor was
walking by the Gem theater.
"Sic 'em," somebody said to
"Tramp," and the dog started for
the officer.
The officer pulled his revolver and
killed the dog. The shooting created
a near riot. "Liberals" gathered at
the police station where Cavenor had
'been taken, but attempted no vio-
lence.

FOR INVESTIGATION.
Savannah Murder Case Arouses Citi-
zens and Blacks are Fleeing
From City.
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 11.—A race
war threatens Savannah and the sur-
rounding country as a result of thd
search by officers to "find the fiend
who late Friday slew Mrs. Elizameth
Gribble, an aged white woman, and
her~3aughter, Carrie Ohlander, and
fatally injured Mrs. Maggie Hun-
ter.
As a result of the bunt more than
two hundred negroes, who are about
20 years of age, and of slender build,
are held in jail for investigation.
This is the beet description that offi-
cers have been able to secure of the
slayer.
The man hunt continued without a
,sign of abatement throughout th«
' night, and aroused the passion of the
community to such a violent pitch
that a race war was feared by
i some.
j So frnzied did the searchers be-
come after learning that Mrs. Oblan-
was murdered that a white man who
i y acicdent had scratched his face
| came near being made a victim of
the mob's violence when the sight of.
blood was discovered, and before he
could give a satisfactory explanation
of the blood.
The negro section of Savannah, fa-
(miliarly known as Vamcraw, is a
i scene of terror and many of the
I negroes are fleeing to escape possible
torture.
Appointment of United States Dis-
trict Attorney Cause of the
Split in the Party of
Harmony.
Washington, Dec. 11.—There is a
merry little war on between Repre-
sentative Bird McGuire of the First
Oklahoma district and Representative
Dick Morgan of the Second district,
over the appointment of a United
States district attorney for the wes-
tern district of Oklahoma to succeed
John Embry, whose resignation be-
comes effective on February 1.
McGuire has recommended Robert
Lowry of Stillwater, Okla., for the
berth to be made vacant by Embry's
retirement and he is said to be back-
ed up by acting Republican State
Chairman Jim Harris and Chairman
Joe Norris, while Morgan and Re-
publican National Committeeman
Cash Cade are backing Judge Frank
Gillette of El Reno.
It is a fight for the control of
federal patronage in western Okla-
homa and it's a finish fight. Con-
gressman Creager of the Third con-
gressional district is keeping bands
off. although McGuire and Morgan
butted into his preserves last sum-
1 mer when Captain French of Alva
was appointed superintendent of the
Piatt National park at Sulphur.
McGuire. Norris and Harris held
a secret powwow at Kansas City
about a week ago and Morgan hap-
pened to stray along about the same
time, and he at once smelled a rat
und commenced getting busy.
Morgan is opposed to Harris for
«tate chairman, but Creager and Mc-
Gwire are both saiu to be
the Wagoner man to succeed Nor-
ris.
The Ladies' Aid of the Christian
church held a. very successful bazar

ing the day. A considerable sum was
realized from the affair.

ABOLITION OF
NEGRO SOLDIERS
COLORED TROOPS SHOT UP THE
TOWN
Southern Congressmen May Demand
EHmlnation of Black Race
From Army Ranks,
Washington, D. C., Dec. 11.—Con-
clusive evidence is said to have been
secured by the military court of in-
quiry into the "shooting up" of
Brownsville, Tex., that members of the
Twenty-fifth infantry, colored, who
were within the fort fired on the town
at the time their companions were
racing through the streets of the Tex-
as town shooting right and left. This
evidence, it is reported, is considered
conclusive.
None ot the members of the court
of inquiry would discuss the matter,
but it is intimated that a demand for
the abolition of the negro troops,
which are provided by law, will be
made by the southern delegations in
congress. Thus the bitter debate that
marked the final days of the Roose-
velt administration threatens to be
renewed.
The evidence discovered by the
court is said to be susceptible of
complete proof. Centain members
made personal examination of build-
ings across the road from the fort in
Brownsville. They discovered ballet
holes in the sides of three houses.
Continuing their investigations they
discovered the bullets were of the reg-
ulation army design. Following back
the line of fire, as shown by the track
of the bullet, the marksmen could have
been nowhere else than within the
barracks.
