that Brown & Co., the New York bankers,
have engaged the services of the Pinkerton

fire to the court house, burning the books and

ARDNoRE, 1. t., May 16, '96.

ARDMoRE, l. T., May 16, 's6.
Editor ARDMoREITE:
wish to say for the benefit of
those who accuse me of being the
author of certain kilograms to the
United States senate causing the
Moran Scott stir, that / am not the
author of any one of them, neither
do l know who is, and more than
that / do not know one word in any
of them more than l have seen in
the papers.
Ny reasons for not endorsing Mr..
Scott as agreed by the different can
didates for the Office are these: Mr..
Scott, with the rest of US, went into
the election and signed articles of
agreement to have n fair, square
election and let the people say who
they wanted as postmaster and the
defeated ones gracefully step down
and out and support the choice Of
the people. But while our canvass
was in progress Mr.. Scott seems to
have been pressing his claim in
Washington and received the nomin-
nation for the office.
Before the day of election a meet
ing of the candidates was called to
either declare the election OF or see
what was best to be done. Mr..
Scott, in order to set himself right
before the rest of the aspirants, in
sisted on having the election, saying
he would still abide by the result
and all agreements heretofore signed,
but would not resign the Office in
! favor of anyone in the event he was
defeated. But all the time he in
sisted on having the election, feeling
confident that under the exciting
circumstances he would win, know
ing, as all the rest of US knew, the
tendency of the people to flock to
the successful man. He being ap-
pointed already made him the sue
cessful man beyond any doubt.
1t was after eight O'Clock when he
had the dodgers declaring his in
tention to abide by the result of the
election struck and circulated. The
circular was only a repetition of what
he had said several times the night
before. 1t was not agreeing to
sacrifice his Office in case of a defeat,
but later in the morning when he
knew, and so did every one present,
how the election was going, l un-
derstand he declared publicly he
would resign if not elected by the
people.
He was perfectly safe in making
the assertion, really there was no
election, not one fourth of the bust
ness men of the town voted before
the election was decla. ed of without
my consent or knowledge.
The whole thing was a farce from
/, start to finish and therefore / die
not feel honorably bound to sup
port Mr.. Scott.

\ runaway occurred near the ball
park after yesterdays game that
threatened to prove serious, but by
miraculous chance no great injury
was incurred. John Leeper and ;.
Gilbert were driving a wagonette. In
some unaccountable manner the
harness gave way while going down
the hill near the car track and
frightened the horse so that he be-
came unmanageable and ran away.
In passing a buggy, occupied by
Misses Maggie Corcoran of this city
and Lem Nolan OF Ardmore, the
wagonette collided with the hind
wheel of the buggy, upsetting the
latter and throwing out its occupants
TO a distance of six feet. The horse
also fell, but lay quietly until re-
lieved from his harness by bystand-
ers. The Leeper animal began tear
ing about in a circle around n tree
until finally secured. The young
ladies when picked up declared they
were slightly bruised, but not other
wise hurt, and rode home in a street
car. ;. Gilbert's face was badly
scratched, but Mr.. Leeper escaped
without injury. Denison Herald.

SATURDAY EVENING, MAY %, 1ss 6.
The SATURDAY HALF. HoL1DAY.-

The SATURDAY HALF. HOLIDAY
The Saturday half-holiday law, which
was passed by the Legislature last
session, promises to result in lively
litigation. Owing to certain ambiguity
in the act, it is contended by many that
its provisions apply not only to the
banking institutions, but also to en-
ployees of all the State departments,
including the inmates of the peniten-
tialy. II this latter view is correct, the
operations of the law will cost the
commonwealth $4,000 year in the
loss of convict hire alone At present
.he State House officials and employees
only work six hours day. Should
this be cut down to three hours day
on Saturday it would raise howl from
