OF CAREERS SWIFT GROWTH
That New Town is Destined to a Mag
nificent Business Future.

Enid, o. r, Nov. 21.---The new town of
CARRIER, on the Enid and Tonkawa branch
of the Rock Island, in this county, con
tinues to make a wonderful growth. It
is already putting on metropolitan airs.
A large number of people have already
located there and many others are COM
ing in for the purpose Of investing and
engaging in business. The town company
are having the streets graded and are
opening up roads in every direction, so
that the farmers can haul their grain and
produce over a good road. Plans have
already been made and contracts left for
the erection Of two two-story brick build
ings A large Touring mill will soon be
erected, the ground already having been
secured. Orthwane, the well known
wheat exporter, hasalso leased ground
from the railway company. upon which
he will erect a large elevator The Chris
tan denomination has secured lots. and
are arranging to erect a large and i'm
posing church edifice. A subscription is
now being taken up for the purpose Of
defraying the expenses of moving the
methodist church building from the old
town of CARRIER to the new townsite. Ow-
ing to the fact that CARRIER IS located in
one Of the most p roductive and magnifi-
cent farming communities in oklahoma it
is destined to become one of the leading
points in Oklahoma, ard offers splen-
did opportunity for all those who desire
to invest their money with an assurance
of good profits and quick returns.

Guthrie Mr.. Flynn gave it out that he

district attorney Asked if he had any
objection to the, item being published. he
answered:

Mr.. Speed has been United States dis

coming to Oklahoma, one of Benjamin
Harrison's law partners in Indianapolis.
Lately he has not taken a prominent part
in Oklahoma politics, but has always
kept UP an interest in the work. Cover

Mr.. Scothorn's selection to fill the place

BY THE HABEAS CORPUS ROUTE
Beaver COunty's Only Prisoner Is
Again a Free Man.

Guthrie. o. T, Nov. PA case where
the laws delay helped the prisoner IS
thus related by the Hardesty Herald:
Beaver county's only prisoner took the
habeas corpus route last week and is now
a free rascal Guilty. beyond a doubt Of
highway robbery, but the victim and the
r0bber both were travellers, and it was al
most certain that the victim would not
remain in the county jail till next fall TO
go before the grand jury, and without
the victims presence there would be no
evidence TO convict. To have held both
the criminal and the prosecuting witness
would have meant an expense of about
S. per day for about one year. The
Herald does not like the idea of letting
a guilty man escape. but the county
made money by turning him loose. He
and his outfit ought now get out of the
country. for the people familiar with his
crime might take II into their heads to
administer a little corporal punishment
just for luck and as a warning to others
Of his ilk"

SOME MISTAKES CORRECTED
Contained in the "Joe Smiths Bible"
story ReDrOduced in the Eagle


Kingfsher, o. T., Nov A-To the Edi-
tor of the Eagle: In your issue OF Nov
ember 10, on page s, under the caption
10 Smiths Bible" appears an article
copied from the New York World, which
contains much that is true and some
things that are not true The history OF
the church, as written by the Reorganiz-
ed church, does not make any record OF
the church being driven from the state
of New York, as stated in the article in
question
Another error is this: 1T was not until
fourteen years after the founding Of Nor
monism by Joseph Smith that he, who
had gone to Salt Lake with the bulk of
the believers. purpOrted TO have had
revelation from God demanding Dolyg-
amy. Smith at this time desired to insert
this revelation in the original manuscript
but David Whitmer would not permit it."
joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum
were murdered in Carthage Jail, June p,
1914. At Council Bluffs, Iowa, in De-
cember. 1S47, Brigham Young reorganized
and re-baDtized all that followed him.
The church at the death Of Joseph Smith
numbered about 200, 900 in all parts Of the
world. 1t is believed that not more than
1000 of the whole number found their
way from Nauvoo to Salt Lake City, and
but fractional part of the whole from
all points How could Joseph Smith at
this time. have had "a revelation from
God demanding polygamy' and want to
insert tbe revelation in the original
manuscript when he. Joseph Smith, had
been dead several years?
Again, what a transformation and
stimulating effect must have been
wrought upon this "idle, shifuess boy, of
mean birth. and tricky, even dishonest,
in his youth" as stated, that, at the call
of Heaven. he should translate the book
of Mormon; in 1880 organize a church Of
only six members, which. during the
course of his ministry of fourteen years,
should reach the clever number of 200
coo; establish a city and build a temple
that was said to be an ornament to the
state Of Illinois; bring forth the Book Of
Doctrine and Covenants. which contains
the law governing the church. and trans
lated a good portion of King James
Bible. Such results are not brought forth
by idle. dishonest boys. We are graft
fed when we see the press publish facts
as they have existed and do exist con-
corning the Reorganized Church Of Jesus
Christ Of Latter Day Saints. and doubly
50 when we find an editor willing TO rec
tify a mistake. written by sensational
writer or otherwise.

The First Conviction.

Guthrie, o. T., Nov. 21.-Under the in
structions of Judge Buford, verdict Of
guilty was returned by the jury against
A. P. Niese, who was on trial in the Lo-
gan county district court for bigamy
The defendant, according to his own tes-
timony, married again before the statu-
tory six months had elapsed since his
divorce from his first wife, which, under
the Oklahoma statute, is felony. Al
though many similar cases were known
to exist during the period when the di-
vorce business was one Of Oklahoma
most fiourishing industries, this is be-
lieved to be the first conviction for Big
amy. Both Of Niese's wives were pres
ent through the trial and sat together.
