Mr. j. 6. Price of Cleveland Corrects
Newspaper Report-Perry Announces
| That it is Now Ready to Compete With
Cripple Creek.
! Guthrie, o. T, March ia small re-
/ volt has taken place in the ranks OF the
local Salvation Army. Last evening
ten recruits paraded the streets and
| held open air exercises, similar 10 those
! of the Salvation Army. The members
/ of the band each wore a red ribbon,
over which was pinned a picture of
I Mrs. Booth, and had the words, God
Bless Our Leader" incribed upon it,
At their head they carried a United
States flag and a banner bearing the
/ likeness of George Washington and
/ Martha Washington.
Cadet Vincent, when asking for con-
! tribution, stated that not a cent of it
| would be sent out of this country.
| In a conversation last night Cadet
| Vincent said that as soon as Ballington
Booth signified his intentions. they
would organize under his directions.
They expect to be able to raise funds
soon, and hire a hall for use as head
quarters, and in which to hold public
meetings. 1t was noticed that there
was not an officer Of the Salvation
Army among them, all being cadets.
They express the opinion that the
movement here will grow, and stated
emphatcally that their work would not
be in opposition to the Salvation Army,
but along the same line.
IT WAS NOT TRUE.
on page six, an item was published 70
the effect that Mr.. James G. Price of
Cleveland, o. T., had sued his wife for
divorce; that Mrs. Price had employed
Attorney Charles Stewart TO defend her
case and apply for alimony; that she
and Attorney Stewart went to Perry TO
secure the papers, and later went to
Guthrie in search of Mr. Price for the
purpose of serving the papers. The
rtem went on to say that Mr.. Price, on
his return to Pawnee, filed an amend
ed petition to his divorce suit charging
adultery of Mrs. Price and her attorney,
claiming that they occupied the same
room at the same hotel in Guthrie; that
Stewart filed an amended answer deny
ing the accusations with an exhibit of
an affidavit from Frank Kress in sub
stanton of the denial. The item was
to the Eagle that the article as to &C
cusations of adultery is false in every
particular, and Is unjust to Mrs. Price.
He says he has begun proceedings for
divorce, but no such grounds as above,
are set forth and most of the matters
contained in the article referred to are
without foundation.
The whole matter was great wrong
both to Mr., Price. who Is a man of
prominence and ability, and to Mrs.
Price who is an estimable lady.

will be opened by other companies this
