ROOSEVELT FARMER
IN SERIOUS TROUBLE
Charged With Having Given Bogus
t Check in Payment of a Pair of
Mules in Arkansas.
.
J.E Harrison, a farmer who lives
n^ar Kjosevelt, was arrested Monday
afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Bob Allen
of this county and Deputy Sheriff D, F,
Radford of Arkansas, and brought to
this oity and lodged in the county jail.
Harrison is accused of having given
on a bank in which he had no fuuds a
cheak for 8102, in paymsnt of a pair of
ruilea which he purchased from a
widow in Arkansas, The check when
presented was dishonored, The officers
were immediately notified. They picked
up Harrison's trail, it is said, and
followed it across the country into
Oklahoma, where they locattd the
acoused as above stated.
When arrested Harrison refused to
return to Arkansas for trial unless
extradited. It is believed, however,
that the matter will be adjusted with,
out the necessity of resorting to those
formalities, It is probable that arrange-
ments will be made to make the bogus
check good, If this should be done it
h doub:ful if the proseoution will pro.
cjed further with the matter.
CONVICTED OF MURDER
SENT TO MOLESTER
Sheriff Lewis Terry Removed Guy
Huber to the State Prison
Tuesday Afternoon.
COUNTY TO FOOT THE BILL
Guy Huber, who, a few weeks ago,
was convicted of the murder of Nollie
Wartman and given a life sentence in
the state penitentiary, has taken an ap-
peal to the supreme court. Owing to
the fact that he did not have the means
whereby to perfect the appeal he made
a pauper affidavit Monday before Dis-
trict Clerk Dan Diehl in order to have
ttie case passed on by the highest court
of the state.
By making the affidavit the county
will have to bear the expense of the
litigation in the higher tribunal.
Pending the appeal the defendant
will be sent to McAlester to begin serv-
ing his term. No date, however, has
baen set by the sheriff to take him to
that prison.
Guy Huber, who, at the May term of
the District Court was' oonvicted of the
murder of Nollie Wartman and senten-
ced to the state penitentiary for life,
and who, since that time, has been con-
fined in the county jail pending the
perfection of an appeal to the supreme
court, waa taken to the state prison at I
McAlester Tuesday afternoon by Sheriff |
Louis Terry.
The full story of the murder has I
appeared in the cjlumns of this paper
several timeB recently and all our
readers are familiar with the details.
Consequently it would be a useless
repetition to state again the facts upon |
which the conviction was based.
The accused has, as stated above,
perfected his appeal to the supreme
court and expressed the belief that the
trial court will be reversed and that be
will regain his liberty,
The trial of Frank Nash, who is
alleged to be a principal in the murder,
will come up for hearing at the adjourn-
ed May term of court which will be
convened J uly 7.

EXCLUSIVE CLOTHING AND SHOE STORE
Oklahoma City, June 23—The state
banking board, the department of
charities and corrections and the state
game and fish warden are subjected to
the most severe criticism in the first
official report of the house general in-
vestigating committee which was sub-
mitted to the legislature Monday morn-
ing. From its findings, the committee
recommends the removal of State Game
and Fish Warden John B. Doolin,
claiming that he has violated his oath by
creating an office and a charge of $1,800
per year upon the game protection fund,
The committee also recommends the
consolidation of the office of commis-
sioner of charities and corrections, the
commissioner of labor and the chief
mine inspector into one office. No
recommendations are made as to any
amendment to tbe present banking law,
the committee stating that most of the
objections are cured by the act passed
by the present session of the legislature.
The report covers the investigation
and findings of the banking depart-
ment, department of charities and
corrections, fish and game office, depart-
ment of labor, geological survey, 6tate
treasurer, state auditor and secretary of
state. The report on the governor,
attorney general and the board of agri-
culture, looked forward to with keen
interest, will not be submitted to the
legislature for a few days owing to the
fact that the testimony has not been
transcribed.
In regard to the banking board, the
committee states that since the creation
of the board and enactment of the
guaranty law in 1907 up to May 1, 1913,
the state banks have paid in §1,778,819.
all of which has been used in liquida
ting failed banks, together with8419.140
of warrants or certificates of indebted-
ness issued against future assessments
and assets taken over from failed backs.
The cash now in the hands of the
bank commissioner is 325,037 and assets
from failed banks amount to $2,417,735.
Management Was Inefficient.
"The loss and dissipation of this vast
sum of money," reads the report, "con-
clusively proves that the management
of this department has been extremely
inefficient. While the board mijjht
have been hampered in their work by
reason of want of funds to liquidate and
take charge of crippled banks, wa are
convinced that more strict business
methods and careful administration of
the affairs, together with a strict com-
pliance with the law would doubtless
have saved a large amount of this fund.
The committee criticises the action in
bringing about the appointment of a
daughter of a member of the banking
board in the office of bank commissioner;
also the employment of a son of the
bank commissioner in the office of the
board.
Charities Department Unimportant.
The committee adopted and included
as a part of ita report of the department
of charities and eorrectiona the findings
of sub committee of the housj, known
as the Emanuel committee. The present
report recommends that the attorney
general be directed to recover for the
state such funds a9 have been unlaw-
fully drawn by commissioner of charities
in excess of |1,500 per year. The com-
mittee claims that the salary of the com-
missioner was increased from $1,500 to
$2,500 by the third legislature and that
such was in direct violation of the con-
stitution.
"The committee does not feel that
the importance of the office of commis-
sioner of charities and corrections
sufficient to justify its maintenance as a
separate and distinct branch of the
state government, and in the interest of
economy, suggest that the office and the
commissioner of labor and chief mine
inspector be consolidated."
The principal criticism found by the
committee with the fish and game de-
partment, the report states, was the
creation of a secretary who has been
paid a salary of $1,800 from the game
protection fund, and the lack of personal
attention given to the office by the
warden John B. Doolin. The report;
says he has been away from his duties a
third of the time, in the opinion of the
committee, the salary of Don Lawhead
as secretary was arbitrarily fixed by the
warden, and that such was in direct
violation of the constitution and laws of
the state. The removal of Doolin is re-
commended,
NEW WHEAT CROP
ON THE MARKET
A. G. Smith Is Threshing, and Yield
Will Average 30 Bushels Per
Acre-Test 61.25
Kiowa county's 1913 wheat crop isaff-
fording a few surprises. The current
belief has prevailed for some time that
this staple would be practically a fail-
ure, so far as Southwestern Oklahoma
is concerned, but since the thr -slier has
started, farmers have cause to reivse
their estimate.
The first threshing in this part of the
state was done Wednesday on A. G.
Smith's farm, three miles northwest of
the oity, between the Elks. He has a
crop of 140 acres, all of which is good,
Thursday morning he brought in b
load of sixty-four bushels, the product
of two acres, the first of the new crop
seen on the streets this season. It was
of excellent quality, and tested 61.25
pounds to the bushels. The load was
sold to the Hobart Mill A Elevator Co.
for seventy-five cents a bushel.
Mr. Smith says his entire crop will
average thirty bushels per acre. He
stated further that he believes it will
test 62 pounds which goes to show that
it is of a splendid quality.
There are but few crops in the county
that will equal this one,but it is easy to
see that Kiowa county will not be forced
to import wheat to supply the home de-
mand.
A great deal of the wheat will not
yield more than ten bushels per acre,
but even that will supply the demand
and leave a surplus for export and
plenty for seed.
