these totals were supported by full de-

Mr.. w. A. Patterson was q spectator.
Mr.. Patterson does not take kindly to the
way in which he was dropped for county
judge. at the demand of Van Beck.
Uncle John Parker entertained the del

stop at delegates, either. All who were
present we're invited and accepted his
hospitality at dinner and supper.
Mr.. Bripdle got up in the convention
and roared. He did not like it because
republican had been preferred to him by
a vote of nearly three to one. He talked
about democratic principles. But he
seemed to forget that there are certain
principles which are dear to the heart OF
all true citizens, whether native. born OF
naturalized--among which are an honest
ballot and fair count.

Some extraordinary but well-authen'
ticated stories Of the Bank of France
are related. One day sheep ate up q
hundred-franc note belonging to a
butcher. The butcher ran into the
house of friend, seized gun, and
shot the sheep. He had no sooner done
this than the owner OF the gun rushed
up. THAT was an expensive shot OF
yours for me-" he said. "What do you
mean?" asked the butcher. "Well,'
said the other, II had seventy francs
in bills hidden in the barrel of that
gun" The sleeps carcass was pretty
thoroughly searched, and enough Of
the pieces Of the notes recovered 50
that the bank redeemed them all.

Lucas is twenty-one years of age, and

nefarious Cook gang, that has recently
! given territory officials so much trouble.
| Soon after 10 o'clock this morning, five
armed men rode into Chandler from the
east and dismounted back of the Lincoln
County bank.
Three rushed inside, while two stood
guard at the door with Winchesters. Two
men covered the president Harvey Kee,
and his brother, the cashier, and de-
manded that they turn over the cash

rushed into the private office where Tel

Although a Winchester was pointed in
| his face he could not stand long enough,
! but fell to the floor and the robber
! kicked him and shot at him, but missed
! fire.
The men on guard called out that it
was time to go, and the three men
grabbed between $500 and $500 lying on
the counter and ran out to the horses.
In the meantime the guard at the, out
! door had shot and killed J. NJ. Mitchell,
who attempted to give the alarm.
The bandits had scarcely passed out
of the city when posse were mounting
and started in pursuit.
Twice were their horses shot from un-
der the fleeing men, but they compelled
| farmers coming to town to give up their
mounts and went on.
Finally, a battle was fought for nearly
! fifteen minutes, when one of the robbers
was shot through the hip and the others
scattered and disappeared in the hills of
| the Creek country.
The names of the escaped bandits are
given as Bill and Tim Cook, leaders of
| the gang; Jack Starr and Tulca Jack,
who number among the more desperate in
! the territory.
