Oklahoma City.—The supreme court
in an opinion by Justice Dunn, affirmed,
the report of Referee Charles H. Par-
ker to the extent that unlawful and
corrupt practices prevented an im-
partial election and that the vote
given did not give a fair expression of
the will of the people.
Since August 12, 1908, on which date
the county seat election was held,
each of the two towns has maintained
that it is the legal county seat of
Creek county, Sapupla claiming it by
reason of its majority of 523 votes
in the election, and Bristow claiming
that fraud, practiced in securing votes;
nullified the election.
In regard to the conduct of the elec-
tion in two precincts located in Keifer.
Referee Parker says in his report,
"Your referee finds from the evidence
that beer, whiskey and other intori-
cans were freely furnished for a short
time prior to the election and during
the day of the election by persons
who were sympathizers of Sapulpa to
any person who desired to partake of
the same in Kiefer, and that such beer
whisky and intoxicants were furnished
for the express purpose of influencing
the vote for the town of Sapulpa, and
that by reason of the action of per-
sons engaged in an unalwful pursuit
in the town of Keifer and reason
of the actions of their tools and hench-
men, the vote had in the town of Kei-
fer at this election is not a fair and
impartial vote and is not a fair expres-
sion of the will of the people in those
precincts."
The referee also found in these pre-
cincts, that six voters were not quali-
fied by lack of residence. As a con-
clusion of law, he reported that the
balance of the votes in those precincts
should not be counted as votes cast
because of the fraudulent conduct and
illegal practices of the partisans of Sa-
pulpa, notwithstanding the votes were
not showrn to be illegal.
"This holding," says Justice Dunn,
"is one which must appeal to all as
being just; it does not result in fore-
closing the matter but loaves it open
for another election which may be held
free from the objectionable features
i of this one.
BURNING ITCH WAS CURED
"I deem it my duty to tell about a
cure that the Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment have made on myself. My trou-
ble began in splotches breaking out
right in the edge of my hair on the
forehead, and spread over the front
part of the top of my head from ear to
ear, and over my ears which caused a
most fearful burning itch, or eczema.
"For three years I had this terrible
breaking out on my forehead and
scalp. I tried our family doctor and
ho failed to cure it. Then I tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment and used
them for two months with the result
of a complete cure. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment should have the credit
due, and I have advised a lot of peo-
ple to use them." (Signed) C. D.
Tharrington, Creek, N. C., Jan. 26,1911.
Itching Scalp—Hair Fell Out.
"I will say that I have been suffer-
ing with an itching on my scalp for
the past few years. My hair fell out
in spots all over my head. My scalp
started to trouble me with sores, then
the sores healed up, and crusts
formed on the top. Then the hair fell
out and left me three bald spots the
shape of a half dollar. I went to more
than one doctor, but could not get any
relief, so I started to use the Cuticura
Remedies. I tried one bar of Cuticura
Soap and some Cuticura Ointment,
and felt relieved right away. Now the
bald spots have disappeared, and my
hair has grown, thanks to the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment. I highly
recommend the Cuticura Remedlea to
all that are suffering with scalp trou-
ble." (Signed) Samuel Stern, 238
Floyd St., Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 7,
1911. Although Cuticura Soap and
Ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-pago book, will be mailed
free on application to "Cuticura,"
