HE HOLDS HIS ISLAND.
Industrious ColOred Man Proves Up en- Is
land of Thirty Acres.

There was a number of farmers In
Judge Reeds court yesterday looking
after an interesting land case. They
were all residents of east Park town
ship and own land in sections "A and
%.
It seems that some few years ago a
colored man whose name is Swami, filed
on an island in the Arkansas river OPP
posite the location named and proved il
up. His island contained about 80
acres, but the river kept a regular
wash from the oppisite bank and de-
posted above and beiiw the colored
mans island.
Last week this colored man employed
the county surveyor TO locate the
meander of the river bank opposite
section "a and %. and the owners of
these sections filed protest against
the survey and therein is the contest.
After the river banks We're located
the colored man claimed accretions
which gave him an island OF 10 acres
and he fenced it in and ordered the adj
jacent land owners to keep off his farm.
There does not seem to be any doubt
Of the fact that the plucky colored
American, citizen of Africa, decent is
entitled to some of the accretions. but
just how much IS the point at issue

Mr.. Williams to remain in the store.
When he came back a few minutes
later Mr.. Williams had a gash in his
throat and his face and heart was COW

George Finch was the man who did
the act and he was arrested and
brought TO police headquarters. Mr..
Williams got his throat fixed up with
a large plaster and came down and
swore out a warrant against Finch,
who gave bond for his appearance in
Judge Hatton's court tomorrow.
Finch lives with his family over
Goodin's drug store and when Williams
was left TO guard the store he stepped
to the door just as Mr.. Finch came
down the stairs and the two men en-
gagged in conversation.
Williams asked Finch where his two
boys We're when Finch replied that they
Were IN st. Louis and considering the
hard times Were doing well.
To this Williams replied: Zone of
your boys is the best boy L ever saw
but / never had any use for the other
one" This angered Finch and he ap-
piled a. VIII epithet TO Williams, who
started toward Finch.
At the point Mrs. Finch appeared up
on the scene as a peacemaker. She

p. NJ. Petez last night sat at one OF
the iron cells in the city prison and
heartily repented of the error OF his
way and said that he could now see
what fool he had been.
PeteZ went 10 the Oklahoma Floral
company located at Oklahoma City
one day last week and applied for a
job. He represented himself as very
successful salesman in their line and
he was given job.
He was given a book and sent over
10 Guthrie and sold nearly $50 WORTH u
flowers. The goods were shipped TO
him at Guthrie and Petez delivered
them and collected the money
Right here is where the young man
made mistake. Instead of sending
the money 10 the Oklahoma Floral Co..
he put ii in his pocket and lit out 10
have a good time.
The company notified Chief Massey
to lookout for Petez and yesterday the
chief found him out on Paramount and
run him in.
When brought TO the station he was
told that he was wanted in Okla homa
City for ernbezZlement. Petez owned
up and said he was the right man in
the wrong place.
Petez had spent every cent of the
money and was looking for another
job and now he fears he will get an I'M
desirable job in Oklahoma.
Chief Massey notified the authorities
of Oklahoma City of the arrest and re-
ceived an answer by wire that the
sheriff would be here after Petez today.

worse OF all it is now reported that the
judge OF these contests is not even a
singer or teacher of vocaliZation. that
he is but piano thumper from Chica-
go, knowing no more of the human
voice, its culture Or possibilities than
the leader of country choir. and that
his selection for the important duty
for which he was paid $1,000. was a
scheme and colusion. Whatever
there may be in these reports the av-
erage citizen is doubtless thankful
that he is NOT q musician.

was not serious but those who saw the
wound befofe it was dressed said the
blade went mighty near fatal spot.
Williams refused for some time to
swear out n warrant for the arrest of
Finch for knitting him and said that he
did not want the assistance of the
law. He was finally prevailed upon
to get out q warrant charging Finch
with striking and wounding him and
Finch was released on a bond, the sum
of which was only 500.
County Attorney Davis appeared for
the state and Mr.. COnley of AmidOn &
Conley for Finch. The case was post
poned by agreement of the attorneys.

Baltimore, Nov. 6.-The people of

surprise caused by yesterdays political
avalanche. are beginning to inquire
how 1t all happened. and what the re-
suit Is going to be. Congressman Wei
lington, chairman OF the republican
state committee, sums 1t UP In few
words: The people of Maryland are
tired of German and Gormanism ana
yesterday they backed their sentiments
with their ballots"
Chairman Talbot OF Nthe democratic
state committee. said that he thought
1t was attributed to the following rea-
sons: There were several causes
which combined brought about The re-
publican victory. The chief reason,
however, was hostility to Senator Cor
man throughout the city and state.
Many democrats did not approve OF the
senator's course In congress, and all
the ills which have affected the people
for the past two years have been at
tributed to him and his course at
Washington. The hard times in this
state as well as throughout the coun-
try, have been laid by many people at
Senator Germans door. and the condi-
ton of the democratic party in Mary
land has been greatly affected by this
feeling. To this. more than to any
other one cause. attribute the result.
The members of the reform league,
however, assert the result was, to a
very considerable extent, brought
about by their work at the polls In
preventing election frauds. and poin'
to the fact that the vote was but little
more than rs per cent. of the registra'
tion In the city and in the rough wards
