MANGUM, GREER COUNTY, OKLAHOMA TERRITORY, JULY
21, 1904.
WHILE A FEW GOD-MOTHERS
STAND ROUND TO 8IZE
UP ITS SHAPE
BUT ITS NAME IS "NIT
Full Ticket Nominated in Midst
of the Usual Republican Har-
mony—Molinari Crowd Won
With Hands Down.
The great (?) republican party of
Greer county met in delegate con-
vention at Mangum last Saturday
to settle some trouble, have some
fun, blow hot air, cuss the demo-
crats, and endorse Booker Washing-
ton and Teddy Roosevelt—and they
did It.
The trouble they adjusted was
mostly In their own ranks, and hailed
from Granite. However, the demo-
crats were made a party criminal to
their fracas and It may be said that
the whole matter was disposed of
upon this hypothesis of too much
outside interference. The conven-
tion in seating Molinari and his
crowd sit hard upon any tendency
of mixing political drinks and way
down deep in the heart of every
true democrat there should be a re-
sponsive "amen."
Chairman Matherly called the
convention lo orftter, made a talk,
and asked for nominations for tem-
porary chairman. Judge Kelly and
J. E. Coen were placed In nomina-
tion, and the old, wa' hoss won by a
full leiiK h Atty. O. P. Elliott was
elected temporary secretary.
A credentials committee compos-
ed of one member from each dele-
gation was then selected and the
personnel of this committee were as
follows: ,T. E. Coen. Altus: W. M..
Roach, Bloomington: J. J. Yarrell,
Blair; W. L. Taylor. Delhi: J. h!
Huffman, Duke: A. Wolfe, Dr.vden:
J. E. Kelly, Eldorudo; I,. B. Ander-
son. Erick: B. F. Flowers, Elmer:
A. S. Mathls. Francis: Lee Chanev,
Headrick; B. F. Dunham. Jay: W.
E. IZelley, Jester: Z. T. Prvse. Man-
gum: R. E. Arthur. Texola; L. M.
Marble. Tllley: A. RHBerry. Willow.
Granite, having a contested delega-
tion. was not entitled to a member
on (his committee.
A recess was declared In the con-
vention while a wait was made for
the report of this committee. Thev
is republicanism, you know, and
where there are no more of them
gathered together In one place than
were present at Mangum 1*' 1 Satm-
day It would he dlffV , t < . liiij more
than thru* men wh<| would think
for themselves, anyway.
The rommlttee was appointed and
the ticket was "siated,"and for a time
it seemed that it was going through I
like it was greased. However, when '
the sheriff's office was reached and
,Tohn Byers' big, broad and angular
body was observed lying across the
road the lead horse in the toboggan
„^.party shied, and a trip-up resulted.
A kin of a perplexing shad-
ow passed over several faces and a
"why comes he here" attitude as-
sumed by many present. Judge Kel-
ly. older and more astue than his
fellows, spied the body, turned it
ovtr, noted the excellent feaures
and said: "Boys, it will do."
This did not satisfy the boys, how-
ever. They wanted to know more.
They asked about his pedigree;
they wanted to know something of
his antecedants, political and other-
wise; how much of a republican he
was, and whether they could claim
the gate receipts in case they pulled
him under the wire in November.
Judge Kelly replied again that
Byers was their greatest possibility
and that it ,was always best to do
the best hat could be done. Kelly
lost out, however, and Byers was
turned down. The rest of the slate
went through and the ticket nomi-
nated is as follows: Atorney, C. H.
Eagin; Judge, Jas. Kelly; Treasurer,
J. E. Coen; Recorder, C. W. Ed-
wards: Clerk, W. H. Matherly;
Sheriff, Perry Steed; Surveyor, O
W. Thorne; Coroner, B. F. Newlon;
Weigher, Jno. Ford: Superintendent
Jas. Fletcher. Z. T. Pryse was..nomi-
nated for representative. S. E.

St. Louis, Mo., July 17.—Undoubt-
edly Lieut. E. Sidney Haight, mili-
tary aid to President D. R. Francis
of the World's Fair, was forced to
resign his office because President
Roosevelt disapproved of his action
in suggesting to the colonel of an
Illinois negro regiment that his
troops should encamp apart from
the white soldiers at the exposition
and should bring their own equip-
ment.
Lieut. Haight couched his sugges-
tions in courteous language, but he
negro colonel took umbrage and

David Branham, "Uncle Dave," as
he was familiarly called, died sud-
denly after only a few hours' illness
at his room in the Hotel Roval last
Sunday night. He was attacked
about 11 o'clock Sunday morning
with a bowel trouble and suffered
intense pain until relieved by opi-

trouble a rupture of the bowels
Uncle Dave was sixty-two years of
age and was an ex-Confederate Vet-
eran. He realized fully from the
start that he was going to die. and
so expressed himself, saying that he
had no fear of death; that he had of-
ten faced It before. He was quiet
and genial In disposition, and was
liked and respected by all who knew
him as a man of good breeding and
sterling personal worth.
He was burled Monday afternoon '
In the Mangum cemetery before the
members of his family, who were
scattered In different directions some
visiting and others being inaccessi-

Enid, Okla., July lg.—The diatrlat
court officials have Just been apprised
of the fact that charges have been
filed against James K. Beauchamp,
Judge of the fifth Oklahoma Judicial
district, with the attorney general at
Washington. The document was
filed June 20, and makes charges
against both Beauchamp and his dis-
trict clerk, J. p. Renshaw.
The allegations made against
Beauchamp are quite lengthy, and
set forth: First, that Beauchamp
had entered into a conspiracy to rob
the bank of $7,500, Renshaw owed it
$19,000, making a total amount owed
the bank by the district court ofli-
c'als, $24,000; that the court was pe-
titioned by a majority of the depos-
tors to appoint Fred Champlin re-
ceiver. Champlln being a man of
wealth and standing in the city; that
the court refused to heed the re-
quest of he depositors and appoint-
ed Robert Denton receiver, which
Denton is without standing in the
city, but who is a prospective son-
ln-!aw of Beauchamp, that the father
o£ Robert Denton was a depositor in
the bank and lost $1,800; that ow-
ing to the close connection between
the court, the father of the receiver
and the judge and district court offi-
cials, a conspiracy exists for the pur-
pose of manipulating the affairs of
the bank so as to defraud the de-
positors of the money owed by Beau-
champ and Renshaw.
Second. The indebtedness of Beau-
champ to the bank disqualified him
in the appointment of a receiver.
Third, That Beauchamp discrimi-
nates between lawyers, allowing one
or two favorites courtesies and treat-
ing with contempt the majority of
the bar.
Fourth, That Beauchamp compels
his appointees to pay him a part of
their salaries in order to retain their
positions: that Samuel 8proat is
compelled to pay $25 per month In
return for his position, and that Ren-
shaw pays all traveling and other
expenses of the court. That all oth-
er appointees pay a per cent, of their
salaries to Beauchamp.
Fifth. That while Charles F. Mc-
Elrath was district clerk, Beau-
champ compelled him to pav him a
part of his salary; made him par
*. J! expenses to the Springs when
fu 'j. . traVi;"nK expenses over
the district: compelled him to give
him a $1,000 horse: that Beauchamp
and Renshaw entered Into a conspir-
acy to remove McElrath from office
and did remove him by false accu-
sation and Install Renshaw in his
place.
Sixth, That a daughter of Beau-
champ is now paid a monthly salary
by Beauchamp.
Seventh. That Beauchamp swin-
dled a physician at Sulphur Springs
out of $ir,5 on a horse deal.
Eighth, That Beauchamp, contrary
to law, made D. T. Flynn of Oklaho-
ma City, a present of the United
States Supreme Court Reports, which
reports are now In the possession of
Flynn, which act Is In violation of
federal statute.
Ninth, That Beauchamp purchased
worthless school warrants In the In-
dian Territory at 30 cents on the dol-
lar and by misrepresentation sold
them at a margin.
Tenth. That Beauchamp swindled
Pratt county. Kansas, out of $12.000
on a poor farm deal.
Eleventh, That the actions or Beau-
champ and his conduct of court In
the fifth district has been such as
to bring Beauchamp and the court
Into public contempt.
The charges are quite lengthvand
ask that a special agent be sent by
the department to Investigate.
Judge Beauchamp believes that
he will be able to satisfactorily ex-
plain matters to the department.
