The Konawa Chief-Leader.

FIFTH YEAR. NO. 10.
DOTSON COMES BACK
Consolidation of The Konawa Chief-Leader and The Konawa Times.
Best In the County.
KONAWA, SEMINOLE COUNTY, OKLA., FRIDAY. FEBRUARY
1909.
S:eond Chapter of Pretty Little
Controversy at the
County Seat.
In a paid advertisement in the
Seminole Capital last week Sheriff
T. D. D 'tBon made what lie term-
el "a reply" to the charges made
against him by County Attorney
Fowler.
Dotson made no attempt, that
we saw, to defend himself, but de-
voted his article exclusively to an
attack upon his accuser, Fowler.
As was the case in Fowler's dis-
closure, there was nothing sur-
prising in Dotson's accusations.
Fowler has oft times been charged
with the deals which Dotson now
accuses him of. As we see_ it, it
is a tirade of accusations with no-
body defending, unless Fowler
attempts to square himself this
week after the Chief-Leader goes
to press.

able business men, men of family

looked to you, but it looked this
way to the man in the doorway.

The tremendous pulling power
of the Chief-Leader advertising
was exemplified yesteruay at the
successful beginning of A. 0. Mill-
sap & company's big dissolution
sale. The advertising, while a po-
tent agency, had something back
rrf it, for the big store advertised
regular stock at reduced prices
ranging from 155 cents to $1.50 on
a single purchase ol shoes and
boots and a saving of several dol-
lars on a suit of clothes. Big cuts
are made in all departments I his
is what makes A.O.Miltsap & Co's
sales so uniformly successful. The
sale continues until the 20th. Ex-
pecting Saturday to be the city s
greatest sales day Messrs. Millsap
will have a greatly increased force
of salespeople on hand so as to
eleniinate the waiting of custom-
ers. Read their big display ad on
last page of this issue. Its a page
of bargains.
Following an able appeal by the
pastor, Willmoore Kendall, at the
Methodist church Sunday night a
contribution was taken to apply
to the building fund of a Metho-
dist college for Oklahoma.
The Konawa church is assessed
$155 for this fund and §113 *as
secured Sunday night, lhe con-
tribution is voluntary.
Starting last Thursday niglit
and continuing throughout Friday
with almost unabated fury Kona-
wa was visited by one of the most
terriflic wind storms of recent
years.
At times the dust was so dense
it was impossible to see across the
street and pedestrians were com-
pelled to seek shelter in buildings.
Several buildings were threaten-
ly rocked to and fro and the sheet
iron awning of the Rose & 1 ro-
! baugh building was blown off.
Friday evening the wind shifted
to the north and was perceptibly
colder.

The Chief- header's correspon-
dent at Sumers Chapel reports the
unroofing of severs' b> ildings in
that neighborhood in Friday's
gale. Havoc was played with dead
timber.
In this issue of the Chief-Lead-
er Rose & Trobaugh, The Big
Furniture Store, present to our
readers a lmlf-page of interesting
furniture news. This is the pio-
neer furniture house of Konawa
and square dealing has made it
the largest concern of its kind in
Seminole county. If you are in
the market for furniture—the de-
pendable kind—read the big dis-
play ad of this popular store and
then go there for your goods.
Hundreds of household articles
not advertised are in this big
store. The tree hearse service is
an advautageable feature of the
up to now manner of handling
the business of this coucern.
Rose & Trobaugh are complete
outfitters of houses.
A good impression was made on
the large audience last Thursday
night by Dr. Edwin "Cyclone"
Southers.
His lecture, ilIf I were the Dev-
il," was of two hours duration and
seemed to please his hearers
throughout. The lecture w a s
given in the Methodist church
which, for several reasons, is su-
perior to the city hall, and it is
hoped the remaining two numbers
of the lycoum course will also bo
held in the church.
Southeis' effort was an apprecia-
tive improvement over the last
two numbers.

HUMOROUSLY WINDY
Pedestrians Have a Strenutus
Time in Friday's
Gale.
WHEN THE BRAKES REFUSED TO WORK
Then Many Were Carried Past Their
Stopping Point and Had
to Back Up.
A man with an in-ordinately
developed bump of humorosity
and a correspondingly diminished
sense of sympathy for his fellow
mortal suffering in the grip of the
mighty wind storm of Friday,
stood in the shelter of a Broadway
doorway at noon and watched the
pedestrians in their mad and fan-
tastic career dinnerward.
The wierd aud strenuous gira-
tions gone through with by some
of them in their efforts to keep at
right angles with mother earth
were amusing in the extreme to
the man in lhe doorway. Some
of (lie women presented the ap-
pearance of an inverted top as
they turned rapidly in their en-
deavors to locomote aud at the
