It teems that when a deputy ap-

l’hoenix, Ariz., Dec. 4.—Frank S.
Westflal. one of two brothers wanted
in Sapulpa. Okla.. for alleged irreg-
ularities in connection with reports
issued by the Creek Bank and Trust
Company, was arrested at WTckenburg
and brought to Phoenix Saturday un-
der authority of extradition papers is-
sued by the governor of Oklahoma. J-
B. Westfall, the other brother, is in
custody awaiting the outcome of hab-
eas corpus proceedings.
Both will lie returned to Oklahoma
for trial at Guthrie as soon as the lit-
igation there is finished. Recently sec-
ond extradition papers were made out
for the return of the brothers and they
were, it is understood, honoed a sec-
ond time by the Governor of Arizona-
if the habeas corpus proceedings
stand it is likely that an inter-state in-
vestigation into the slightest details
of he case will be made so hat the 1
affair ay be s'fted to its proper evi-
dence.

HE man who carries the cross ol
worry or fear is unconsciously un-
dermining his powers of resistance.
At the first indication of trouble he
will feel that there is no help in him,
and will go down to defeat before the
battle has actually begun.
Assurance, confidence in himself, an
unwavering faith in his own powers will
enable him to meet and overcome the
troubles, real and imaginary, that beset
him from day to day.
The man who has a balance in bank,
or better still, the credit which follows a
bank connection absorbs assurance of

who has not.

Mannford, Okla , Dec. 5.—There is
no truth in the reports emanating
from here that the blacks of the negro
settlement west of Mannford are con-
gregating and making untoward dem-
onstrations. or that the citizens of
Mannford are contemplating going to
Sapulpa in an endeavor to lynch Boh
Walker, captured at t'laremore, Okla-.
Sunday and now confined in the Creek
county Jail.
While it is true that some of the
negroes are carrying arms, they are
not moving outside of their settlement.
Most of the men of Mannford had laid
aside theit weapons and it is believed
that the trouble is over.
