SCENE OF TERRifIC BATTLE
Sheriff (Clarke and I . S. Marshall
Madsen Take "Free Coinage"
Man to Okla. City.
Deputy Sheriff Slimp, who is also
city marshal of Yukou arrested a
countefeiter ithere last night who had
sen where he will eater a plea of
to circulate a very clumsy imitation
of the real coin of the realm. The
man gave his name as William Bur-
nette and said that he was from Ok-
lahoma City, lit; says that this was
his first attempt and his work hears
out his statement.
When arrested Buruette had in
his possession five or six lead dol-
lars and quite a quantity of babbitt
metal nickels, a complete gelt of
moulds, etc. It is understood thai
the bogus money was made yester-
day in an empty box car there but
the produdt was such a rank viola-
tion of the pure coin law that very
little of it was circulated. Uurnett
wa« brought to El Reno 'this morn-
ing by Sheriff Clark and taken to
Oklahoma Ciity today by Sheriff
Clark and U. S. Marshall Chris Mad-
sen whre he will enter a plea of
guilty. Another man was connected
with Burnette in Ithe deal but es-
caped.

EL RENO AFTER PENNANT
A large bunch of El Reno fans
were out at the ball park yesterday
waitching the locals work out. Man-
ager Palmer is working hard to get
the boys in shape for Sunday'3
game and the writer cannot see any-
thing but El Reno for the pennant
this year. While the fans are dis-
appointed in learning that Fred
Haag could not be secured as pitch-
er this year they were somewhat
modified in learning that Manager
Palmer secured the services of an
ex-Western Association pitcher and
had made a good offer to one of tha
fastest pitchers in independent base
ball and hope to have both here for
Sunday's game.
Both infield and outfield looks bet-
ter this year. Granger Woods and
McNeil look good as back stops, and
Tedum and Admiral Hodgklnson on
first and second, Haag short stop,
Crawford it hird. Rye, Crow, Earl
Modklnson and Gardner in the out
