There are four indictments pending.

dianola Construction Company of
constituted when the alleged conspir-
acy was entered into and carried out.
The defense will also rely upon its
charges against certain members of

IDATE
Guthrie, Okla., Oct. 13.—Represen-
tative R. L. Glover of Rush Springs,
Grady County, has authorized the an-
nouncement that S. O. Dawes, state
the business manager of the Tulsa , llbrar)an would be a candidate for
governor In the Democratic primaries
next year, and he expects to have the
support of the labor organizations and
the Farmers' Union members. The
campaign is to be pitched, Mr. Glover
says, upon a platform against amend
ing the constitution, but that 1!
amendments are found necessary they
are to be proposed by tho constitu-
tion's friends."
From another source it was ascer-
tained Mr. Dawes would not oppose
Judge Jesse J. Dunn If Mr. Dunn
should be a candidate. Close friends
of Judge Dunn said they were in a
position to say that he is a candidate
for re-election to the supreme bench,
and that they know of no condition
existing which may place him In the
gubernatorial race.
Mr. Dawes was at one time presi-
dent of the Farmers' Union, and he
later served as state lecturer of that
organization.
the motion to quash sustained at the
Tulsa hearing, this document speaks
as to an alleged political conspiracv
In which Gov. Haskell is spoken of
as the particular object of the at-
tack, the statements concerning It,
however, being confined to happen-
ings in connection with work of the
grand jury.
It is the purpose Of the defendants
to present oral testimony to the court
from about twenty witnesses to sub-
stantiate their charges of improper
conduct on the part of the grand jury
members. If the motion to quash is
not sustained, demurrer to the indict-
ments will be filed.
World, has been brought before Fed-
eral Judge Campbell for alleged vio-
lation of the Billups law by running
whisky advertisements in their news-
papers.
It is sought by habeas corpus pro-
ceedings to test tho constitutionality
of the Billups law. The defendants
claim that the law is unconstitu-
tional, first, because it is in conflict
with the Constitution of the United
States, and, second, because It is
against the state constitution. The
defendants also claim that their ar-
rest was caused at the instigation of
the state administration, because Gov.
Haskell wanted to strike at United
States Attorney Gregg. Gregg and
Dent are under $500 bonds, while
Payne, who is out of the state, has
not yet been placed under arrest.
It is expected that the ultimate re-
sult of the case will bring forth a de-
cision by the United States Circuit
Court as to whether or not newspa-
pers in Oklahoma can legally carry
whisky advertisements.
Tho defendants claim that the
Tulsa World ceased running whisky
ads when the editor was converted by
Rev. Bulgin, the evangelist, some
time ago, and since the new city
charter has been in effect in Tulsa.
Newspaper men throughout the state
will watch the case with considerable
interest.
Sheriff Newblock of Tulsa County
has ten days from last Saturday to
bring Dent into court.

AT
Watonga, Okla., Oct IS.—Motions
presented in District Court Tuesday
by counsel (for Alt Hunter, slayer of
Sheriff G. N. Garrison of Oklahoma
County, attacking the legality of both
the grand and petit juries and the
attitude of the officers who served
the jury paperB, were overruled by
Judge G. A. Brown and tho case went
to trial at 9 o'clock this morning. Al-
though Hunter made a written con-
fession of the crime and asked to be
hanged on his birthday, he plead not
guilty.
The effort of Hunter's attorneys to
delay the trial follows another un-
successful effort of a few days ago
to enter a plea of guilty and secure
for their client a life sentence. Hun-
ter Is reticent as to the plans of nis
attorneys, but talks freely of other
matters. He believes that through
some technicality of law he may get
a reversal in case of a conviction and
now has strong hopes that he may
miss the gallows.
A panel of eighty men compose
the jury array. The men were drawn
by Sheriff McArthur and his depu-
ties. The sheriff was a member of
the Garrison posse whom Hunter and
a comrade attacked when Garrison
was killed, hence tho attack made on
tho sheriff In Hunter's attorneys' mo-
tion.

College Park, Md., Oct. 13.—In an
early morning experimental flight
Wilbur Wright established a new
record for making a circle, making a
complete turn in seven and three-
fifths seconds. It was estimated that
this was at an average speed of
thirty-five miles an hour. The di-
ameter of the circle was approximate-
ly 250 feet.
While the Wrights have made
sharper turns, the circle made by Wil-
bur Wright probably was the smallest
that ever has been made in the air
by a flying machine. Mr. Wright es-
timated that the best previous time
for making a complete circle was ono
minute. Despite his contention that
his machine was not a "wet weather
bird" Mr. Wright made his flight dur-
ing a rain.
The Jury in the case of E. I). Bee-
son against the Rock island railroad,
wherein the plaintiff asked $1,990
damages for false arrest, returned a
verdict for $250 for the plaintiff when
Superior 'Court opened this morning.
It was late last night oefore a ver-
dict was agreed upon.
The case was a rather peculiar one.
Beeson and a fellow workmau were
arrested by a Rock Island pollcemau
about two years ago and put In jail,
where they remained several hours.
They were tried in polico court on a
charge of stealing a keg of beer from
a Rock Island car and were dis
charged.
Tho evidence in the damage suit
showed that tho keg of beer In ques-
tion was one of three that fell from
an open car in the west yards. That
one of the kegs fell directly in the
middle of the track, in the way of a
Bwitch engine, and the switch engine
foreman asked the two boys, who
were engine hostlers, to remove the
keg. They asked him what to do
with Jt and ho replied, in substance,
that he didn't "give a damn" what
they did with it, but to get it out of
the way. The boys consequently car-
ried it up on the right-of-way, off the
tracks. While they were carrying It
they were seen by Yardmaster Fox
and others, who were passing on an
engine and the discharge of the men
from the employ ot the company and
their arrest followed.
GETS SENTENCE
OF 99 YEARS
Ada, Okla., Oct. 13.—The trial of
Andy Scribner, charged with the mur-
der of Mrs. Frank Scribner, hi*
brother's wife, resulted In a verdict
of ninety-nine years. The crime was
committed last iMareh near Ston<-
wall.
The murdered woman was to be
a witness in the Dan Scribner and
Mack Lee cases In which her hus-
band and brothers were charged with
complicity.
Frank Scribner, h«r husband, and
John Scribner, his brother, are yet
to be tried for the murder.
BOTH BOYS SAVED.
Louis Boon, a leading merchant of
Norway, Mich., writes: "Three bot
ties of Foley's Honey and Tar abso-
lutely cured my boy of a severe
cough, and a neighbor's boy, who was
so ill with a cold that the doctors
gave him up, was cured by takine
Foley's Honey and Tar." Nothins
else Is as safe and certain In results.
