where he applied for lodging that he
would not be allowed to remain more than
forty-eight hours as his presence was OBJ
jectionable to the other guests" Ma
gowan was the king bee of the Oklahoma
divorce colony a couple of years ago,
coming to the territory in a special car.

nue. of servants. His present wife. then
a Mrs. Barnes, was with him, and after
