-A well-
dressed man about iiO years of age
and thought to be E. M. Turner of
Oklahoma City was found in a bad-
ly beaten condition Monday night at
S o'clock at Second and Calhoun

are shrouded in mystery and the po-
lice ar0 unable to determine whether
t lie attack was for purpose of rob-
bery or revenge.
To all intents tbe stranger had

blow in the temple and a deep cut
over the right eye thought to have
hem inflicted with a blunt instru-
ment rendered him unconscious.

len of No. 1 fire hall and Harry Rus-
sell a professional iwrestler the man
was lying in the roadway. A small
pool of blood surrounded his head.
Immediately the patrol wagon was
summoned and a fast run was made
to the Medical College hospital
where Dr. '"Webb Walker dressed the
wounds and gave every aid in an at-
; tt nipt to save tbe man's life
j At a late hour the victim was still
I unconscious and It was feared that he
i had sustained a fracture of the skull
' and concussion of the brain.
Thp man is large weighing proba-
bly l'.'O pounds and has a smooth
face. He carried a card with the

TRY McNAMARA DETECTIVE.
Hearing in Case of Bert H. Franklin
Begins Tomorrow.
Los Angeles Cal. Feb. 24 Three
months to a day after his alleged bri-
bery of Juror Bain and attempted bri-
bery of Juror Lockwood Bert H.
Franklin former chief of detectives
for the McNamara defense will go on
trial tomorrow. It is alleged that
Franklin will accuse Clarence S. Har-
row the Chicago labor attorney new
under indictment for bribery with re-
sponsibility for the alleged corruption
of jurors.
Franklin it is rumored will be the
chief witness of the state against
Harrow. It is known that Harrow
has had several conferences with As-
sistant District Attorney Ford and it
is believed that he has been promised
immunity if he will lay bare the en-
tire affair.
Franklin has denied that he has
been offered immunity but Is equally
positive that he will never spend a
day in prison. He has admitted that
he 1 willing to tell all be knows
about the alleged jury bribing.
"I will not commit perjury for any-
one" Franklin asserted following his
arrest. It is declared that Franklin
will say that Harrow was present
when tbe alleged bribe was passed.
This was on Nov. 28 last a few days
before Harrow urged the McNamaras
to plead guilty following Franklin's
arrest and the discovery of the alleg-
ed bribery conspiracy.
It has been charged that Franklin
was an employe of the district attor-
ney's office at the same time be was
in charge of the detectives engaged
by the McN'aniara defense. This
Franklin denies. "If I ever did any-
thing wrong." asserts Franklin "it
was while I was employed by the Mc-
Namara attorneys and not for Ibirns
or the district attorney."

CONSENTS TO FORTIFICATION.
Washington l-Vb. 27. The fear
that America's right to fortify the
Panama canal would be challenged
and forcc-d I" arbitration was dispell-
ed by an official statement today that
Great Britain has formally acknowl-
edged that right.
The government is spending mil-
lions of the peoples money playing
like it's fighting tin- trusts and right
here in Oklahoma it. is creating one.
of the most gigantic robber trusts in
aTl creation. If the sale of Hie timber
la:id is pulled off as it is scheduled
it will forever close the doors to
some of the most fertile valleys in
the world for when a big lumber
company secures the land it will
never be developed by home owners.
Men in Kansas City Shreveport and
Dallas will get it and they care not
a sou if the laud is never cultivated.
Tne interior department at Washing-
ton cares nothing nor knows noth-
ing of us and our affairs anil it would
be just like them to put this sale
through and then pay a dozen high-
priced attorneys men who ran for
office back yonder and got. beat at
work "investigating" an unlawful re-
straint of trade. The people of Choc-
law MeOurtain and Pushmataha
counties should send a delegation to
Washington and go before the pres-
ident with the matter. Poteau News.
