Official announcement that T. L.
Croom, city auditor, will soon resign
his office was made at the city hall
yesterday. The council Monday af-
ternoon had agreed to a«k for it mak-
ing it known to Mr. Croom that they
thought three day's time would be
reasonable.
Tuesday afternoon Eugene M. Kerr,
democratic ring boas, spent some time
closeted with Mayor Middleton. Mr.
Kerr's chief complaint, as far as can
be learned, was that the council had
agreed to take action on the matter
without letting him "in on it." It Is
said on good authority that Mr. Kerr
knew nothing of the trouble at the
city hall until he read the story in
Tuesday's Phoenix. In view of the
fact that he is a 'boss" he was of the
opinion that he was being treated
rather shabbily. It Is said, however,
that he received very little satisfac-
tion from the mayor.
With the announcement of Croom e
retirement made public official eye
began to cast about for his successor.
It Is generally agreed as was pre-
dicted In yesterday's Phoenix that one
of his assistants will succeed him. In
all probability he will be Clay Stin-
nett.
TAFT DYNAMITING CASE.
On December the eleventh, the sec-
ond Monday In the month, the famous
Taft dynamiting cases will be called
for trial in the district court. Five
men have been arrested charged with
placing dynamite under the home-
Zeb Mackey at Taft while the family
slept, murdering the two Mackey chil-
dren.
These children were the heirs to
considerable valuable property and It
is thought that the greed for gold
caused their slayer to murder them.
Much Interest has been taken in the
case as a few well known men have
been taken in the ""case as a few well

LABOR IN BIG DEMAND.
The Supply Was Inadequate During
Monti) of October.
Through the efforts of the local
branch of the Oklahoma employment
bureau, 1,683 persons were given em-
ployment during the month of Octo-
ber according to the report of Tom
Wiley, superintendent. -Even at that,
the supply of labor did not come up
to the demand, which was five times
heavier during the month of October,
1911, than that of 1910. The demanu
tor laborers has continued heavy thus
far during the month of November.
A 35 PER CENf DIVIDEND.
Directors of D., Ii. & W. Declare
Sizable Stock Dividend.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8.—Directors of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West-
ern railroad today declared a stock
dividend of 35 per cent, payable In
stock of the Lackawanna Railroad
company of New Jersey. Approxi-
mately $10,600,000 of this four per
cent, guaranteed stock will be paid
to the stockholders of the Lacka^
wanna railroad.
Within a few days suit will be filed
in one of the local courts to test the
question of whether or not the state
board of equalization can raise the
valuation of property to such an ex-
tent that in some cases the assessed
valuation is greater than the true
value of the property.
The suit will be instituted by sever-
al Muskogee merchants as co-plain-
tiffs and the filing and prosecution of
the suit will probably be In the hands
of Retailer's association.
The state board of equalization
raised the valuation of all stocks of
merchandise in Muskogee county a
hundred per cent. In many instances,
according to officials of the retailers
association, this made the assessed
valuation greater than the true value.
Relief was sought from the county
commissioners but they refused to
change the valuation on the grounds
of want of Jurisdiction. Their refusal
was based on an opinion from the
county attorneys office.
The right of the state board to
make such increases in the valuation
will now be tested in the courts.

Driven from one hotel to another and
even from one town to the nxet she
finally drifted into Muskogee. She
found a room where she thought she
would be housed for the winter but
once again was sent out on the
streets.
A wild and disheveled figure she
was picked up on the streets one
night by Patrolman Walter Brown,
who noticing her condition took pity
upon her and sent her to the police
station where she found friends. A
place was prepared for her there and
in a rough way her reform was start-
ed.
When first picked up she was taking
sixty grains of morphine a day. This
allowance has been cut down until now
she is only taking one grain, it U
thought that a few weeks treatment
at Norman will perfect a complete
cure.
