Wichita Boy Held in contempt of the
Guthrie Grand Jury.

It is rumored here that Huse Taylor has
been committed to jail at Guthrie for re-
fusing to answer before the grand jury
concerning alleged knowledge of bribery
in the late legislature. From other re-
ports 1t seems likely that he may have
good company, as from the drift of af-
fairs some of the most prominent citi-
zens OF Oklahoma may be laid by the
heels for like cause. 1t is known that he
did 50 refuse to answer, pleading priv
legged communication" as a newspaper cor
respondent. A case has been made up
and will be decided by the supreme court
at an early date.
