BOY OF 12 YEARS
A twelve year old boy named Wil-
kins went out hunting yesterday
with a small rifle and accidentally
hot himself. Dr. Neal was com-
pelled to amputate his right arm.
This is only another instance of
parents allowing children too much
familiarity with dangerous weapons.
It was just a miracle that he did no
kill himself. For ho safety of the
individual, and others as well, par-
ents should see to it that children
and guns be kept apart, or else see
that some older person accompanies
them on their hunting expeditions.

M'ADOO RETIRES
TO PRIVATE LIFE
About 4:30 this morning what
might have proven to be a disastrous
fire, but for the quick and efficient
work of the fire department, broke
out in the Waiters room.ng house on
Broadway.
The fire originated in room No. 11,
ccupied by a young man who ci ?-
lessly lighted a match to discover the
iwurce of escaping gas. He was badly
turned about the head and hands but
otherwise escaped serious injury.
The gas having penetrated to some
extent through the building caused
the fire to spread almost instantane-
ously, making it exceedingly difficult
to arouse the sleeping guests, all of
whom, however, made an effective es-
cape, some of them being clad in their
sleeping garments and a bath robe.
The building and contents were
owned by Simon Walters and they
are a complete loss as no insurance
was carried on either the building or
contents.
Mrs. Rutherford, who conducted
the rooming house, was out of the city
at the time of the fire.
N. J. Shadid occupied the ground
floor as a residence ind conducted a
small fruit and tobacco stand in the
front half of the building. His entire
effects were badly damaged by smoke
and water.
Mrs. Lassit conducted the L. Z. mil-
linery store in the other front ha'f of
the buildir.g and her itock was com-
pletely ruined by water. It is under-
stood that no insurance was carried
by any of the parties affected bv the
fire
George Demont, a furn'ture dea'er,
whose store was next door, sustained
damage to his stock from smoke and
water.
The fire boys are deserving of
great credit for doing the good work
they did in not letting the flames
spread to the other buildings.
Mayor Nicodemus, who lives just
three doors east of the scene of the
firce was the first apprised of the
danger but as soon as the fire boys
got to playing on the flames his lit-
tle family assambled themselves to-
gether and made ready for a speedy
exit.
The fire boys, however, true to
their record, were able to control the
flames and confine them to the one
already doomed building.
LOUISA REED BOUND OVER TO

Aaanriated Prw* .)
WASHINGTON, D. C., NOV. 23.—
Did the recent enfranchisement of
women have anything to do with this?
We wonder! Mrs. Louisa Reed, who
lives five miles east of Drumright was
brought before Judge A. J. Bell yes-
terday charged with stealing a Ford
car belonging to a Mr. Burk of near
Ollie.
At the preliminary hearing the evi-
dence was strong against her and she
was bound over in the sum of $1,000
to appear in superior court.
Is it possible that a woman would
lower herself to such a degree?
Or was she possessed with a hallu-
cination that now since in the eyes
of the law *he was the equal of man
she could do anything a mere man
might do?
