THAT BARTLESVILLE GAME
That football game at Bartlesville
Friday must have been a good one
Bartlesville wag defeated only once
last year and that by the Nowata
boys The Bartlesville Examiner has
the following account of the game
there last Saturday
One of the biggest crowds ever
attending a football game on a lo-
cal girdiron Saturday witnessed the
defeat of the local High school team
by that of the Nowata High school
the score being 38 to 7
The first two quarters of the game
were as fast and as close as one
could desire but at the beginning of
the third the visitors seemed to have
no difficulty in tearing through the
local line— and always for big gains
Once indeed in the third quarter
the locals had the ball within a foot
of the visitor’s goal but were he’d
for downs
The Nowata team was slightly
heavier than that of the local school
and immensely faster Their line
plunges were a feature of the game
and it was with this play that they
scored most of their gains seldom
attempting a forward pass or punt
Once in the last quarter however
they made a touchdown twice in
succession on a forward pass though
the first did not count because the
quarterback called signals while run-
ning The locals made several punts that
counted for heavy gains but these
came when they could do little good
The defeat of the locals was prob-
ably due to the weakness of the back
field as it exhibited none of the fight-
ing qualities shown in previous
games
The sole touchdown of the locals
was made by Stout the- right end
whom in fact did the major part of
the playing having been the only
member of the team seemingly able
to successfully plow through the op-
posing line
The touchdown made by the vis-
itors were fairly well scattered
among their players no one partic-
ular man distingushing himself by
brilliant plays
Muskogee 1 Okla Oct 30 — Six
hundred miners of the Oklahoma Coal
company at Henryetta Okla went on
strike tonight because the company
refused to discharge a foreman whom
the men asked dismissed according
to advices reaching Muskogee tonight
The company controls five mines
All of them have been closed Of-
ficials declared tonight that no effort
would be made to open the mines un-
til all efforts to settle the difficulty
had been exhausted
Henryetta was quiet tonight ana
there was no Indications of trouble
JOHNSON HAS NOT SIGNED
Fort Smith Oct 1— Walter John
son pitcher of the Washington
American league team has declared
untrue“the report that he has signed
a Federal league contract Fielder
Jones manager of the St Louis Fed
eral league team was with Johnson
at Coffeyville Wednesday night
and accompanied him as far as Sal-
lisaw Okla Johnson and an all-professional
team from Kansas arrived
here for a series of three games with
Arkansas professionals
Jones presented a contract to John-
son and they had a lengthy conveis
tion on the train after Johnson was
kept busy on the long distance tele-
phone today and talked with Chicago
but beyond declaring that he has not
signed a contract will not discuss the
matter
SHOT WIFE AND HIMSELF
Gracemont Okla Oct 25 — Charles
W Becker a farmer living three
miles west of here yesterday shot
and fatally wounded his wife and
then committed suicide Becker first
shot his wife at their home with a
shot gun the charge tearing away
her lower jaw She fled from ' the
place and was trying to reach the
home of w neighbor twhen Becker
overtook her on the road and shot
her in the forehead with a 32-calibre
revolver This failed to kill her in-
stantly and she managed to continue
down the road several rods before she
fell and died
Becker with a bullet hole beneath
his right ear was found lying in the
road presumably where he had shot
his wife the second time his gun
lying beside him “Papa has killed
himself said one of Becker’s little
boys as he rode up on horseback to
C L Brooks mail carrier who was
passing the Becker home “I can sec
him now” said the little fellow
pointing down the road Becker was
still gasping when Brooks reached
him Brooks sent the boy to a neigh-
bor for help The boy rode in the
same direction which his mother was
going and when neighbors responded
they met Mrs Becker who had
walked several rods and was hidden
from the view of Brooks by a sharp
rise in the road With assistance
Mrs Becker walked on and explained
that her husband had shot her She
soon collapsed however and died in
a few minutes She was we’l dress-
ed and had on her gloves
At the home a shot gun with one
shell discharged a pool of blood on
the floor flesh and hone on the wall
told the story of the first shot which
tore away Mrs Becker’s lower jaw
It is said that the family hud domes-
tic trouble at different times and
the precision of dress leads to the be-
lief that Mrs Becker was preparing
to leave home after a quarrel when
her husband in a moment of emo-
tional insanity shot her with the
shot gun Failing to kill her he fob
lowed her down the road and shot her
with the revolver after which he
killed hmself
The famly have lived on their farm
west of town for the past twelve
years and are well known in the
county
ROPER- LOSES A HAND
Chelsea Reporter The roping con-
test in Chelsea cost Jess Caulk the
loss of his right hand He was one
of the participants in the roping
event that was held in Chelsea last
Friday afternoon and while attempt-
ing to rope his steer his hand by
some means was caught in a loop
of the lariat and so badly lacerated
that physicians deemed amputation
necessary According to a statement
from Mr Caulk it appears that he had
successfully thrown the loop around
the steer’s neck and in doing so
in some unaccountable manner lost
his foot from the saddle stirrup In
attempting to regain the lost stir-
rup his right hand was caught in a
loop of the lariat as the steer plunged
to the right taking up all the slack
of the rope and drawing it so tight-
ly and suddenly around the unfortun-
ate man’s wrist ahat it almost com-
pletely severed the hand from the
wrist In fact the animal’s plunges
were bo forcible that the injured
man was jerked front his saddle to the
ground and then to his feet before
hia hand was extricated from the
loop The injury was so intensely
painful and severe that Mr Caulk
was hurriedly conveyed in a car from
the fair grounds where the contest
was being held to town and given
immediate attention from physicians
After thorough examination it was
deemed necessary to amputate the
hand at the wrist Monday fo'low-
ing the amputation on Friday even-
ing the unfortunate man was uble
to return to his home in the country
and from last reports we are pleased
to state was getting along very
nicely with no apparent indications
of any serious results arising from the
injury Mr Caulk is one of Cholsea’s
most highly respected young men and
his numerous friends are a unit in
grief over his unfortunate accident

There was only one criticism pass-
ed on the Riheldaffer-Skibinsky mus-
ical combination which appeared at
the M E church last night as the
second number on the Nowata Lyceum
Course and that was that the pro
gram was too short As a matter of
fact the program was an hour and
half long but so beautifully did
Madame Riheldaffer sing and so
artistically did Alexander Von Skibin-
sky play that the big audience pres
ent still wanted more Time after
time were these two splendid artists
encored and brought back to thrill
their listeners with the wonderful
possibilities of the human voice and
the violin v The tones the rane the
timber the sympathy af Madame
Riheldaffer’s voice were a revela-
tion to all who heard her sing the
arias from the famous operas and
such favorites as “The Last Rose of
Summer” and “The Rosary”
Everybody who heard Mr Von
Skibinsky last night was as enthus
iastic in his praise as in the praise
of the celebrated prima donna sing-
er with whom he appears He play-
ed on a 32000 violin last night an
instrument 150 years old and the
way he made those strings ta’k thril-
led everyone Selection after selec
tion from the great composers was
interpreted by this young Russian
master of the violin so skillfully as
to captivate all His flying staccatos
were especially notable and when he
played there were times when you
could hear the clock tick his audience
was so still Mr Clarence J Velie
who was the pianist was an artist
a’ong with the others His playing of
a “Rhapsodie” by Liszt with the ac-
companying encore was rapturously
applauded These three musical mus-
icians had been adveritsed as stars
of the first magnitude and they made
good the claim the committee’s pub-
licity put out for them Notwith-
standing the fact that it was the
night before election there was a big
audience present quite a few people
purchasing season tickets at the door
for the other numbers on the course-

Washington Oct 31 — Statistics
have been gathered which show that
over five billions in American rail-
road stocks and bonds are held
abroad In response to inquiries dir-
ected to American roads replies have
been received from 114 and estimat-
ing from the figures quoted which
were based by the roads on the div-
idend checks the round figures of
five billions were reached The re-
porting corporations show foreign
which they had brought in together
The negro cluimed that Johnson
himself had stolen the whiskey Fear-
ing mob violence the negro was
placed in the county jail on the
third floor of the court house
There were several eye-witnesses to
the shooting who stated last night
that apparently the act was premedi-
tated and cold-blooded Johnson had
come into the store for a drink of
water and had stopped to chat for a
moment with the clerk As he sat
with his back to the door the negro
entered from the front and began
shooting immediately Five bullets
entered the body and'another struck
the white man in the arm as he stag-
gered to the back of the room: He
fell lifeless at the back end of the
show case
Harris ran but Officers Kersey and
Jurde were at his heels having been
attracted by the shots He was cap-
tured within a few blocks Kersey
having Bhot in the air as he gave
chase Hundreds of people on the
near vicinity were attracted to the
scene
Johnson’s body was taken to the
Mowbray Undertaking company's es-
tablishment on Second street where
it will be held awaiting instructions
from re’utives who are suid to live
in Palestine Texas
The importance of this fuct at this
time is that these immense foreign
holdings form the stumbling block
to the reopening of the security ex-
changes exept with restrictions to
prevent free and open trading
Foreigners in the troubled tone not
only find difficulty in liquidating their
own securities but they must accept
most sever reductions in values Na-
turally in order to obtain funds they
will sell that upon which the sacrifice
is the least where the best price may
be realized American stocks and
bonds if the market was wide open
would come over in vast quantities

From the Oil and Gas Journal: One
of the most active weeks in the Cush-
ing pool has just passed during
which many good wells were complet-
ed One well is the largest completed
in the Cushing pool - It is located in
the northern extension while the
southern end also developed a good
well Although there is a decrease in
drilling operations the completions
of the past week were numerous De-
spite the new production secured the
output declined to a great extent and
a late estimate places the total pro-
duction of all sands at not more thnn
165000 barrels daily of which 7500
barrels is produced from the Layton
and Wheeler formations leaving the
rest to be credited to the Bartlesville
sand The wells in the old pool have
shown a sharp decline of late while
in the northern end the gushers that
have been finished are not showing
the staying qualities that were ex-
pected of them This may not be true
of all but the majority of the com-
pletions will be found to be of this
caliber
