SAYS JACKSON
IS THE MAN
L. JACKSON, IN KI'.DKltAI, JAIL
ll>KN"riFIKI> AS \\. J.
niciious.
Guthrie, March 17.—That C. L.
Jackson, the polished seller of crude
oil burners and the present invalid
of the Guthrie jail, is W. J. Nichols,
a former member of the North Car-
olina legislature and former pro-
motor in South Carolina, is 'the de-
claration of W. G. Elliott, a banker
of Charleston, ilr. Elliott and one
of Jackson's alleged North Carolina
victims visited the jail last night.
Jackson said he did not know them,
hut they said they knew him be-
yond any question.
Nichols Is wanted in Charlsston
and in North Carolina on charges of
fraud in connection with corpora-
tions. He is said to have invaded
the staid, conservative old city of
Charleston with a bonding proposi-
tion that snared many a cautious in-
vestor. He is a man of good ad-
dress and is capable of being a man
of affairs anywhere. In a few years
residence in North Carolina he 'be-
icame a prominent man and was
elected to the legislature from one
of the larger coast counties. The
grand juries finally got after him
and the Federal authorities in South
Carolina took notice of him. W hich
state gets him first is a question that
will follow establishment of his
identity. Jackson, or Nichols, Is
manager of the Little Crater Crude
Oil Burner company of El Reno.
The examination was set for com-
missioner's court in Oklahoma City
today, but the prisoner is ill and was
pronounced unable to travel today,
lie has a severe cold and the con-
finement has told heavily on him.
'He is held in default of $o,000 bail,
The devoted "Miss Mexico" has not
yet been able to raise the bail to se-
cure his release.
A \V1U> MASON.
Kiglity Miles an Hour in tlie Dark
Without Hea<llinlit-s With Geo.
Gill ut (lie Throttle,
AVe rode to El Reno, via Yukon,
Monday night in Geo. Gill's cham-
pion Mason auto and F. M. Harm of
I>98 Moines, Iowa, followed us in the
big car, also a Mason. To Yukon we
touched the high places in the road
and went through that town litoe
a shot out of a ten-pounder, down
across the valley in the dark to the
river where the bridge was out. We
back tracked a mile, went a mile
north to the sand road and all the
way the sand flew like snow before
a locomotive. In a '.lit by the Rice
farm we can onto two movers wagons
and we climed a perpendicular bank
ten feet high and ten rods beyond,
crashed into something that bounced
the- car in the aiT and examination
developed the fact that we had run
into, over and demolished an iron
cultivator dropped from the movers'
wagons. George look'd over his car
and found the right fender b.mt up,
one front light smashed and the
brake slightly bent. All aboard
shouted Geoirge and we wore off at
the same speed. When we struck the
railroad we went straight up, a sort
of 'shoot the chute", landing twenty
feet away and on we shot into El
Reno where we found the sewer
ditches all open, but we jumped them
and rolled up to the Southern hotel
unhurt and just forty-two minutes
afteir leaving the Wiedeman garage
in Piedmont. We will wager a new
tile, a regular silker, that the Mason
climb a perpendicular mountain
100 feet, plow through a sand bank
four feet deep, buck a locomotive oft
track, run fifty miles in thirty
minutes and come up smiling the
next, ready for a 200 mile run.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
TO AVOID FINANCIAL CRISIS.
London, March 15.—At the annual
meeting today of the Association of
llritish Chambers of Commerce the
most interesting feature was the re-
port presented by the llanking and
Currency Committee, embracing a
scheme to avoid a financial crisis and
to prevent a run oil the postal sav-
ings banks.
Among other things the report re-
commended that the government
should hold a reserve in cash, against
the deposits in the trustee and post
office savings banks, sufficient to pro-
vide means for meeting any probable
sudden demand on the part of the
depositors, thus avoiding the neces-
sity, in such a case, for putting pres-
sure on the money market in times
of difficulty.
The report furthe.- frcommenus
that the llank of England sVould Is-
sue one-pound notes, under swnilar
conditions to the i otes now issued,
so as to increase the proportion of
coin to securities held in the Issue
Department, but with the proviso
that such one-pound notes may be is-
sued, four-fifths against bullion and
one-fifth against securities, so as to
provide for the expense of issue.

Young Man Found i" Field by H
sister Bis Head Body Terribly
Mangled by a (inn-shot
Wound.
[Yogram of tlie Semi-Annual Meet-
ing of the Mathewson Township
Association, March -7, 1010
At Piedmont.
The dead body of Dale Benge, only
son of Mr. and Mrs. 1 iieo. Benge,
was found dead and mangled last
Thursday afternoon, killed by the
accidental discharge of a shot gun.
The charge entered the left side be-
low the ribs passing upward, break-
ing two ribs, lacerating the arteries
of the heart from which death must
ha 'e been instantaneous.
Dale was a young man of estimable
character, fifteen years of age, idol-
ized by his parents and sisters and
eseemed by every acquaintance and
his tragic deatih talis with crushing
effect upon the people of this entire
community.
He went out hunting early in the
afternoon and his long absence
caused anxiety in the mind of one
of bis sisters who went in search
him with the results above men-
'turned, nr. Ruhl was immediately
called and responded ts soon as an
auto could convey him, but his de-
« ;^ion was that death must have been
instantaneous.
The funeral occurred Wednesday
at 4 o'clock and the interment was
made in the Deer Ore. k cemetery,
which, we understand, is upon the
farm of the father of the deceased.
A great concourse of people attend-
ed the last sad riles despite the raiti
and the heartfelt sympathies of the
of this entire community go
out In ireat measure to tilie bereaved
family.
.This is the second tragic death or
young men in this community wl
out hunting.

Recently two brothers got into a

Next day two rammers got into
trouble over a trespassing Jackass
and one claims he got his false teeth
smashed. The day following this
little episode two prominent towns-
men had a fistic collisiou over some
trivial affair and there was a divis-

between county and city authorities
and also plenty of discussion about

Mrs. M S. .1
ler not a I
n a and
Citithrle, Okla., March 17. It is
becoming very apparent that the
state administration intends making
Charley A. Taylor, state examiner
and inspector, the goat.
The republicans, acting in good
faith and desiring to let the people
know the extravagance and waste-
fulness of their money at the hands
of the present regime, filed charges
of misappropriation and mismanage-
ment of public funds with the legis-
lative invesiigatlng committee-jury
that Governor Haskell personally se-
lected.
The republican chaiges, in prac-
tically every Instance, were based on
tihe official report > !' Charles A. Tay-
lor. Immediately it became neces-
ary for the governor and his liang-
i rs-on to belittle and discredit Mr.
Taylor. There followed, and that
recently, an attack on Mr. (Taylor in
open letters written by the governor
himself, severely criticizing that of-
ficial, declaring Taylor's report to
be inaccurate and false, and request-
ing that in the future Taylor base
his report on facts.
Is there taxpayers in the state
who has ever doubted the truthful-
ness and correctness ef Taylor's re-
ports, he has not yet been found.
But Taylor has been branded a liar
and a wilful falsified In his official
reports. This was necessary in or-
der to make the wl itewash of Has-
kell by the legislative investigating
committee the more certain and also
to have the result, if possible, of
whitewashing th ■ committee for it's
whitwash of the governor. In other
wo-dfi the gove. io; branded Taylor
a liar and the committee whitewash-
ed the governor
Will'Mr. Taylor be the goat? The
truthfulness of every r.'port he has
made is challenged. He has been
branded by the governor, and It Is
up to Mr. (Taylor to make good.
There Is no doubt that he c an male#
good, but it's up to him now to do
so. He cannot afford to stand in
the shadow that the governor of the
atate placed over him.
Mr. Taylor was elected by the
le, the same as I he governor,
and on the same ticket. He Is just
as r< ponsible to the people as Is
the governor, and he has branded
i h. governor, the attorney general,
ine s;ate treasurer, the state dispen-
gg|• y state auditor, the school
1 :i1111 .i« Moment, the state banking
bo i I'd and other departments with
i ■uiiiiuct of public funds. The
; rov< nor answering for all the oth-
i ers, says Taylor's reports are false.
M.r Taylor must now produce or
' stand under the governor's brand.
