Tho small sum of $10000 Is approp-

320 acres referred to Is now being

Tho editor of Tho Tulsa Star stands
In eminent danger of being ruthlessly
annihilated by J.'W. Williams propri-

Dreamland Theatro unless tho Star
retracts tho statements which appear
ed In this paper last week under the
head lines: "WILLIAMS I'AIU urf

make no retraction because so for as
wo havo boon ablo to asscrtaln both

facts stated therein aro truo. The story
as It appeared In tho Star last week
camo from the lips of soveral people
one of whom Is Harney Cleaver tho
noted criminal catcher and If It Is a
"damned Ho" as "Slim" says It Is Har-
ney Cleaver Is ono of thoso who told
It. Not only that but tho records of
Justlco I?o Daniels court aro also
falso. Williams claims that thcro was
nor car or auto concerned In tlio case;
that It was something else altogether.
What tho something else was ho did
not say. Hut according to a statement

well and uru Blncero In their etroris
to promote tlio Interest of tho Colored
people nml tho state at largo but they
will make n mistake to pass this bill
without amending It so as to locate
ii. tmlnlnir kcIiooI for delinquent
boys at a good sufo distance from tho
University at langston. The Colored
of Oklahomu are badly In need of such
an Institution and tlio stato owes It
to her citizenship ns n whole to pro-
ldo It; but the best Colored citizens
of the Htnto and doubtless the best
White ones are opposed to locating
It on tho grounds of tho Langston Unl-
erslty and would rather not liavu any
school for delinquents thnn to havo
It loci. ted there.
The Colored peoplo of tho state aro
hopeful that their friends In tho legis-
lature will discover their mistake bo-
fore It Is too late and make tho nec-
essary nmendment. The bill was ad-
vanced to engrossment In the house
lust Wednesday and Is probably In tho
senate by this time
Hams with garnishee attachment for
ono of his cars and would havo taken
tho car had Williams not taken tho
advlco of Harney Cleaver and coughed
up tho money somo $90.00 or more.
This Is tho story as tho Star got It.
Now Williams or "Slim" as ho Is somo
times called demands that tho editor
retract all that was said and says that
tho wholo thing was untrue. This the
editor emphatically refuses to do all
of Williams denials and threats to the
contrary notwithstanding. Wo seo no
reason tor offense In the publication of
tho article. Certainly no offense was
Intended. In taking offense however
ho exercised his privilege and ho has
his recourso at law. If tho Star Is
guilty of any wrong doing we aro will
ing to Buffer whatever punishment tho
law prescribes.
