Grand Jury is Doing Business
in the District Gourt
Today.
Uneasiness pervades the city. Those
who have done wrong those accused
of doing wrong and others whose con-
sciences are awry are alike unhappy.
This condition is due to the fact that
a special territorial and federal grand
jury combined is doing business in the
city. When Judge Biirford called the
special venire of twenty-four men this
mornirg the court room was crowded.
The number of spectators was the
largest seen in many days
The first sixteen veniremen called
were accepted and sworn in. The
court's instructions were not confined
to any particular case but were gener-
al and the jurors were admonished to
investigate all forms of evil doing
from saloon violations to gambling.
With the exception of A. P. Saunders
and one other man the jurors are far-
mers; six of them wear long whiskers.
They listened intently to the court's
instructions. It is likely this jury
will do some business.
Not True.

cipal witnesses against him. One juror

POWELL'S
Troops at Mafeking Furnish a
Great Example No Offic-
ial News of Relief.
Scrlpps-'McRao Press Ass'n.
London May 19. Official announce-
ment of the relief of Mafeking had
not been received up to noon today
but there 5b little doubt that the re-
lief is a fact. Official announcement
will find a large part of London asleep
having celebrated in advance on the
strength of the press reports. Absence
of official confirmation of the news is
attributed to the lack of communica-
tion between the relief column and its
base.
Colonel Baden Powell who defended
Mafeking for 21G days is one of the
most daring officers in the British ser-
vice. He is forty-three years old and
unmarried.
WHO DICK GKEGOKY WAS.
Ills Ileal Name Mas Smith and Ilo Came
From a I'ronilnciit Alabama Family.
Many people in Guthrie remember
Dick Gregory especially so does one
young lady. To this lady the follow-
ing from the Times-Journal of Okla-
ma City will prove interesting:
A rather sensational Btory has just
come to light concerning a young man
formerly of this city- who went under
the name of Richard Gregory and was
at one time a partner with H. C. Dev-
ilbliss in the shoe business in this
city. It develops that Gregory's real
name is Arthur Smith of a certain
town in Alabama and his family is
one of the most prominent in that
state. His father is postmaster of
their town and his mother is a sister
of a former governor of the state.
Young Smith was very popular in the
town in which he lived and was en-
gaged to be married to one of the
most popular young ladies of the city
Young Smith secured a good posi
tion with a prominent firm and later
became confused in his accounts
though to no great extent. He was
informed by the firm that he must
straighten things out. He became
alarmed and ran away coming to Ok-
lahoma. He came to this city and was
employed as a clerk for a while. He
then went into business with Mr. Dev-
elblissbut ill health forced him to sell
out. He went back to his Alabama
home and is now in business there.
Everything has been straightened up
anil Dick is soon to marry his old
sweetheart.

ing tried A.D. Channel! ton the charge
of insanity. He claimed to be in di

result has prepared and written a
book of mauy pages. He has named it

Ohannell claims to have insite to the
stars and imagines vague things by
apparently seeing dark objects in the
sky. He got religion a few yeais ago
and has been an extremist in that line.
His family became afraid of him as
his condition became more violent as
the weekB passed and notified tho
board of it. He is a farmer living in
Crescent township and has a good
farm. The Board adjudged him in-
sane and last night Sheriff Rhinehart
took him to Norman to tho sanitar-
