BLOODHOUNDS
MAKE GOOD
Tracked Convict Eleven
Miles From the State
Prison
Guthrie Aug. 28. At the state Peni-
tentiary last week the utility ot blood-
hounds In helping to capture escaped
prisoners was very well demonstrated
On the prison farm a short sentenced
convict was mada a trusty and had
charge of overseeing and feeding a
large number of hogs. The man had
but two months to serve and very
little restraint was thrown about him.
During the long lonesome "afternoon
hours of last Sunday the prisoner evi-
dently got tired of his job and decided
to leave for parts unknown. A farmer
coming Into McAlester met one of the
uniformed prison guards and asked
him If it was necessary to have the
number of the prisoner upon the pris-
oner's clothing. The guard answered
In the affirmative and the farmer then
tsaid that he had seen one of the pris-
oners out In the country and believed
that he was trying to escape. The
guard Immediately telephoned to the
prison and asked If the prlsbner bear-
ing the number given by the farmer
was In his accustomed place. The
prisoner was not there and the prison
bloodhounds were Immediately placed
upon the trail. They followed the trail
yery rapidly for some distance when
they suddenly stopped for a moment
opptrxitxi 10 uuuifcmea. Again luvy
went forward at a rapid pace until
they came to a place where a wagon
road crossed the railroad. Another mo-
ment of Indecision followed Alien
again they caught the trail rushed orf
down the railroad and found the pris-
oner hiding on top of a coal shed
awaiting the arrival of a freight train.

Enid Okla. Aug. 28. Richard Mes-
sall president of the city council con-
victed yesierday of maintaining a
place for the Illegal sale of liquors
last night refused to resign as head
of the council when requested to do so.
A sensation was created when Coun-
cilman Roberts reminded Messell of
his conviction and requested his resig-
nation. Messall declined until his
penalty Is announced by the court next
Monday. He has been prominent In
politics since the opening of the Cher-
okee strip and was once a territorial
councilman.
CHINAMAN
IS SLASHED
Special KxpiB88 Telegram.
Sapulpa Okla. Aug. 28. Slashed
with a razor by two masked men as
he answered a call to his houiie door
last night John Chee aged 30 will die
today. As a boarding house proprietor
Chee has amassed considerable money
and contemplated a trip to China this
fall. The motive of the assault is un-
known. The assailants escaped.
Charged With
Forgery
Yesterday another man was lodged
in the Orady county jail charged with
forgery. The man whose name Is
given as J. P. TreBnor. Is said to have
operated at Pocasset and MInco at
each of which places it Is' said he ob-
tained 100 pounds of flour and 100
pounds of sugar on forged checks.
The arrest was made near Cement
by Constable Brown of this city and
the man was brought here and put in
Jail.
A singular coincidence of the affair
is in the fact so It is stated that this
man so much resembles a brother
who Is slightly known at the stores In
both towns where the checks were
passed that the merchants mistook
him for the brother.
W. . Wells today purchased a new
$150 Stanhope to which he with the
aid of an experienced salesman hitch-
ed his $250 roadster and immediately
started to drive around the town.
I It was afterwards discovered that at
: the place where the dogs first hesl-
! tated the prisoner had got Into a wag
on and rode four miles to the rail-
road crossing where the dogs were for
the second time somewhat mystified.
The prisoner was captured about elev-
en miles from the penitentiary. This
was certainly a severe test of the abil-
ity of the dogs that they are possessed
of wonderful power of scent.

Form of Man Picked Up
By Rock Island Tram
Crew
To settle an argument as to what
sort of remnants lay strewn along th
railroad train No. 60 the new passen
ger . which leaves Waurika early la-
the morning for Chickasha waa
stopped yesterday morning and an la-
vestlgatlon made which to the horror
of the train crew who got to investi-
gate proved to be that of a humaa
being.
This frightful "pick up" was mad
three-quarters of a mile north of Wan.
rika. The pieces which were scattered
for several hundred feet along the
track were picked up and placed In:
a bucket and taken back to Waurika
to be held for further investigation.

man apparently about 20 years old aa
judged from the face which itself waa
badly disfigured both Jaws being
broken and one eye out; in fact th
eye that had been knocked out wa
found fully 20 feet from the head an
the eye lay with the pupil up. Th
teeth were also knocked out. In short
so badly scattered were the pieces and
in such small remnants that the engi-
neer and fireman had thought the-
object that of some dead chickens.
while Conductor Ed Connors was mote
Inquisitive and wanted to stop an
see.
It Is thought that the unfortunat
young man was someone beating his
way on the brakebeam and that h
went to sleep and fell off and was
dragged as the trucks passed over Ma
body.
