srORF or BURFORD
Ind His Term as Probate Judge Of Bear
County.


Ind His Term as Probate Judge Of Bearey'
County.
The oklAhoma City Tim ss-J ournal
tells this story;
"a good deal has been said in the
newspapers concerning the experiences
Of Judge Burford as probate Judge OF
Beaver county. Almost every word Is
untrue, or at least very greatly mis-
represents Burfords desire to hold
office We know all about how his
appointment TO the Office Of pro o5ate
judge came about
Two or three weeks after Governor
Steele had reached Guthrie the writer
was called in to consult with him IN
reference to the filing Of the offices in
Beaver county. The governor then
had rooms at the old Palace hotel;
two or three in the conference sat on
the edge of the governors bed, while
the third occupied the only chair the
room afforded, while Beaver county
matters were discussed.
IAN of us at that time believed that
the Office Of probate judge in Beaver
county would be very important
one.
"rhe county was supposed to con.
tain AofpvD pbluAattOus hhu ~ WAS the
prevailing belief that the population
would very soon double Ii WAS
agree that the office should be oecu.
pied by lawyer, but there was no
lawyer then a resident Of the county.
While discussing the matter l4overuor
Steele picked from handful of letters
that lay upon the bed one from Presi-
dent Harrison and read IL TO us. The
president asked the governor IL he
could not dnd place for Burford.
The president spoke highly OF Burford
both as a citizen and a lawyer, and ex-
planned that he WAS desirous OF going
- a new country. IL was at once de.
cided that he should be probate Judge
Of Beaver county, IL being the impress
sion then that the Office would pay
Sc 900 or s., 900 year.
when Judge Burford reached
Beaver he saw what every body learned
later, that the boom in Beaver had
gone the wrong way-that instead Of
immigration, there WAS emigration
he remained one day ia Beaver and
then came TO 'homa City"

MILIrRr MAsQUE nm


Gircn By Company 4. o. " e., Largely
attended.
The military masquerade ball given
in PVthian hall last evening was at
tended by over 800 people, over 100 Of
whom were masked. Every kind Of
masque conceivable was TO be seen and
the affair was highly diverting. The
Aeolian mandolin club furnished the
usual delightful music, and for two
hours a picturesque pageant moved
about the hall. Among the most strik
ing masks were those worn by Messrs
AL HixoD, Warren Bennett, Nelson
Stone, Will Byrd, Sammis, Painter;
Misses Upton, Dnnbar. Hattie Mich.
Rels, Maud Float, Fassett,
At l2 o'clock an intermission was
had for refreshments, after which the
program of dances was continued
The committee appointed 20 exam
inc masks is deserving of severe con-
demnation for lax discipline This
committee allowed several masked
characters TO enter the hall that had
no business there. This fact will here
after prove a strong argument against
giving public masque balls in Guthrie.
