COUNTY PEOPLE.
M. C. Garber, Esq.,
Enid, Oklahoma,
My Dear Judge:
Let me congratulate you on your
appointment as one ofl the judges
of Oklahoma. It Is an honor a
young man may well he proud of
I believe you will make good and
if bo, it wil prove of great value
to you to be thus honored in your
younger days.
I have some notions of my own
regarding the judiciary but will not
burden you with them, and they
more than lax the capacity of tlu
room will undoubtedly attempt to
hear MeNeal speak.
The people of this vieinity realize
that MeNeal is far and away above
domagogery in any of its forms and
that the discussion which he wil!
offer this evening will be pitched up-
on a high plane. The reasons for
his own candidacy as well as his en-
dorsement of republican activity in
Oklahoma are based upon policies
and conditions and specitic facts
which will set fbrth in a manner
that will convince reasonable hear-
ers not only of his ability, his iit-
ness for governor, and his sincerity
but as well of the embarrassing con-
ditions obtaining in Oklahoma ow-
ing t<> the misuse and abuse <*f
power by the democratic administra-
tion under Haskell.
Mr. MeNeal has spent the day in
this city conversing with our people
and discussing the political is-
sues in which this city is deeply in-
terested. His address will be an
utterance of great importance to the
people even if he were not a candi-
date. Since he is a candidate for
the political leadership of the state
a.s well as the office of governor, a
great deal depends upon his judg-

A petition was presented signed

I would strike for the equity in

Washington, Oct. 31.—Director
Lfurand. of the Census Bureau, is
preparing a statement regarding the
alleged fraudulent census returns
in Ft. Smith, Ark., and Great Falls,
Montana, which will be given out
at an early day. The census bu-
l-ea asserts that quite extensive Ir-

HARRISON LANDS
L. F. Ayers Brought From
Chickasha By Under-
sheriff Hoar
PROVES MUCH WANTED MAN
KAYS HE HAS HONK NOTHING
WltONG AND THAT 1110 CAN
ACCOI'NT rOK ACTIONS
WIIF.N TIM II COM US.
It will be a hard winter for the
crooks who have been preying upon
Oklahoma banks if the new secrt-'
tary of the Oklahoma Bankers As-
sociation W. 1$. Harrison, keeps up
the record for catching them which
lie has made since he moved the'
headquarters of the bankers to Enul.
L. I«\ Ayers, believed to be a very
smooth swind'er, and the man who
succeeded 'n getting drafts cashi d
at somewhere from forty to a hun-
dred, and perhaps more, banks in
Oklahoma recently, is the latest vic-
tim of the relentless activity of tha
Bankers Association. Sunday night
Deputy Sheriff Ed Hoar returned
from Chickasha with Ayers and the
latter is now a prisoner in the county
jail here. He is wanted in nil parts
of the state for getting money under
false pretenses.
A Traveling Salesman.
Ayers wasj for some three yeata a
traveling salesman for the house of'
J. M. Meyers & Co. of New York1
City, importers of laces, embroider- j
ies, etc. He made this territory and1
became ws'1 acquainted with Hi;
trade. Me is a'so well known lo j
many U. C. T. men of Enid and other
Ok'ahoma cities. According to in-'
formation which Secretary Harrison j
procured from the New York house(
Ayers was discharged on the fi.'st
day of June of this year but has.
been going over the same territory
pretending to represent the san e
house and getting drafts cashed with
a wantonness that would do credit ti)
a Wall street shark.
A Waukomis Victim.
Wednesday of last week Mr. liar-'
rison received a letter from a banl;|
in Waukomis stating that draft had
been cashed there for Ayers, endors- j
ed by a local merchant, in the sum
of $35 and that the draft had been'
returned protested. No sooner had
the secre.tay of tho O .It. A. began:
to investigate the case than lie loain-j
ed that scores of drafts of the same
amount and a few of fifty dollars
each had been cashed by the same
party. By Friday morning the secre-
tary had a list of thirty one banks
from which Ayers had obtained mon-
ey. This list has grown since and is
now nearly forty. Each mail brings
in some new complaint.
Warrant Issued for Ayers.
Upon laying tho matter befor
County Attorney McKeover it whs
found that it was possible to get .i
warrant In this county because of
the offense committed at Waukomis
and the county prosecutor 1mm??-
iately issued one. The sheriff had
the warrant Saturday noon. Then
the O. B. A. secretary "burned up"
the wires to locate Ayers, without
having the least idea whether he was
longer in tho state. Late Saturday
afternoon he received a message from
L. llollingsworth, cashier of the
State Bank of Amber a small town
in Grady county nine miles fro n
Chickasha, stating that Ayers had
just presented to that bank a dr.itt
in the sum of $35 on Meyers & Co.
Sheriff Louthan of Chickasha v/aa
immediately notified by telephone
and in thirty minutes from the re-
ceipt of directions the sheriff nal
Ayers in the hands of his deputy at
Amber. Ayers was taken to Chicka-
sha that night and Sunday Deputy
Hoar went down aftep him.
(Juiek Work This.
The rapidity with which events in
the Ayers case have moved since M<\
Harrison began the hunt for his man
have astounded those connected with
it. For some time the Retail Mer-
chants Association of Oklahon.a
which lias headquarters in Oklahoma
C'ty has been trying to get Aye s
because he was reported to have
swindled many members of that or-
ganization. No trace of him was se-
cured however. Yet within eight
hours from the time the O. B. A. sec-
retary secured a warrant for Ayo/s
arrest he had the fellow in custody.
Hankers Are Pleased.
That numerous bankers will be
pleased with the capture of Ayers
is a foregone conclusion. Some of
them have* been writing the O. B.
A. secretary offering to contribute
heavily toward a fund to get ti:?
former salesman. But this will not
be necessary.
One of the most pleased men was
the president of a national bank .n
the southern part of the state wlihh
was defrauded out of $500 last weik
by Conrad Oieseke as previously
told in the Eagle. Through the ef-
forts of Secretary Harrison GicseUe
was captured in East St. Louis and
the bank will not lose a dollar. When
the president of this institution
heard that another much wanted
man had been caught in his own
county he sent a personal telegram
of congratu'ation and said he hoped
the crooks would all be in the pen
coon.
Wlial Ayers Says.
L. F. Ayers, now a prisoner in the
Garfield county jail is a man about
thirty five years of age and not of
a very prepossessing appearance. 11"
claims to have done nothing wrong
'and expresses great surprise that the
drafts he sent in were not honored
by tlie house. He claims to still be
working for Meyers & Co. His horn?
is in Siloam Springs, Ark.

Chicago, Oct. 31. - Albert B.
Kreitler, the third vice president of
the International Printing Press-
man and Assistants' union of North
America, today made the following
statement in reference to a dis-
patch sent recently from Denver:
"Through the Associated Press 1
wish to correct a statement which
lias been given wide circulation. Tho
press dispatches quoted me as say-
ing, in a talk before the trades and
labor association at Denver that
the newspaper buildings would blow
up before a settlement would be
made with the pressmen's union,
thus leading the public to believe
that I had been advocating the per-
petration of such a dastardly deed
In my talk 1 said that a local
publisher made tho statement
me that he would see the building
blow up before he would settle with
the pressmen's union. In my talk
I simply quoted the publisher to
show his attitude toward the .P™
man's union."

cordance with the plan outlined by

man, Mrs. Mary W. liarriman gave

further increased by the transfer to
the park commission of 700 acres
which had been intended for the
new state prison on Bear Mountain,
but which by act ofl the last legis-
lature was ceded to the park.
The gift was made to George W.
Perkins president of the Palisades

million dollar check to Mr. Perkins

person^, among whom were Mrs
liarriman, Mrs. J. pierpont Morgan
Charles A. Peabody, Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Phipps and ex-governor B. B.
Odell, jr.

liarriman gift will be a part lies

Washington, Oct. 31.—Eight
Christians, one American and two
Chinese have been killed and much
property belonging to foreigners
has been destroyed' by the rebel-
lious Nanobos tribesmen In the
Philllplnes according to a report
from Brigadier General Perschiag
to the war department today. Labor
troubles are believed by the war
department officials to be respon-
sible for the uprise of tho Nanebos,
who are of the lowest type of Flllip-
inos. They are indolent and resent
any effort to compel them to work.
It is presumed here that the out-
