Beggs Woman Kidnapped
Martha Harry (colored) daugh-
ter of Polly McIntosh married
Joe Fisher and after getting a
divorce married Eli Grayson
They live in the southwest part
of town Martha gave deeds to
Morris Wins in the 6th
Spasm
Morris has met another “has
been” or “never was” and
another scalp dangles from
his lelt It is conceded that he
could have turned the trick and
several parties before she be-1 put his man out even in the first
came of age for nominal-roun(L an only played with
and had sued to have! him for the sake of the moving
on the ground picture men and an audience of
make !ove 6000 who had spent its
amounts
these set aside
that she was induced to
these deeds without understand-
ing their purport Monday she
became of legal age On Sunday
she and her husband were at
Muskogee That night two ne-
groes Dave Fulson and Walter
Watson urged Eli to drink with
them but he refused They
then had him arrested on charge
of vagrancy and when the offi-
cer started to the city jail with
him they played the friend and
displaying bills said they would
see that he was released They
then prevailed upon Martha to
accompany them and they would
see about having Eli released
Instead they took her to a negro
drug store on the faorth side and
a couple of white men appeared
upon the scene She was asked
to sign a bond which she saw
was a warranty deed and re-
fused Thereupon they threat-
' ened displaying guns in order to
overawe her but she would not
sign They then went to the
jail and tried the same tactics on
Eli but he saw the catch and
told them he would stay in jail
till doomsday before he would
sign the deed One white man
accompanied the negroes to the
jail and Eli recognized him as a
notary he had met before but he
never knew his name Martha
was released after three hours
effort to make her sign the deed
and Eli was released the next
morning This story as told by
Eli carries with it the impress-
ion that at least one officer must
have been mixed up in the deal
and an investigation should fol-
low Monday they went to Ok-
mulgee where her case was
landing in the circuit court
Prairie Home-
Spring is here
Mrs Taylor’s mother has re
turned to her home in NVeleetka
Mr Bess has begun the new
fence around the Prairie Home
school yard
“good moil” to see a scrap
Morris is good enough to meet
some men higher up though it
must be conceded that he will
not be able to meet first tier men
until he has had more training
and ring experience Morris
sure looks like a coming man

SPEAKING VOICE IMPORTANT
When Its Correct Use Hat Been
Learned the Development of the
inger Is Easier
Few singers students ' or even
(eachera of singing pay enough at-
tention to the speaking voice The
teacher and his pupil are together so
little — a brief half-hour or two each
week — and there are so many things
demanding attention that there seems
almost no time for consideration of
the speaking voice Yet consistency
demands that a bad habit of voice use
In speech shall be corrected so that
the use of the voice in conversation
hall not retard the perfection of the
singing voice
I am often asked If Ihe process of
tone production Is the same tn speak-
ing and singing I answer that It
should be the same When the volco
la correctly u-el In speech It will re-
quire not different but merely ampli-
fied treatment for edging Unques-
tionably the young person who haY n
correct use of voice In speech will And
It less difficult to develop a good sing-
ing voice than one who baa an Incor-
rect habit
Deep breath control pliable organa
of articulation and full or complete
vowel pronunciation are the funds-
mental requisites of correct speech
and correct singing alike When the
speaking voice of a alnger la not sp
produced Its use in conversation la
sure to retard the perfection pf the
singing tone
Allie and Ina Waddell have
been quite sick but are now able
to be out again
The Hance base ball team is
going to play Nuyaka Mission
