sented themselves at the court house
to be sure to hear all the happenings
In the famous case. The first thing
off the bat. the Hon. T. L. Brown, dls
trict Judge, told officials under hltn
where to bead In, and the prompt-
ness which he desired, and the neat-
ness in the court room not quite suit-
ing. He raked the whole force up the
back. A special venire of forty men
had been summoned for this case, be-
sides the regular panel of twenty-four
men. Wm. Brimm was appointed spti -
lal sheriff, on account of Sheriff San-
ders being a party to the fight and

Play Wagoner Teday.
The football game Saturday with
Kendall Colege of Tulsa ended with
a scors of 38 to 0 In favor of our
boys. The game waa free from
wrangling and nothing marred a clear
victory for the Prep team.
The next game will be on the home
gridiron Friday, Oct. 25. with the
Wagoner l^lgh School. There Is ev-
ery reason to believe that this game
will be a much harder game than the
one played here last Saturday as the
Wagoner boys are showing up strong.
The team has been developing some
open plays since the last game which
have proved successful against the
second team.
Five members of the faculty have
had their salaries Increased 200 dol-

will eliminate surplus officiate, use-
