Frank Collins, while looking over some
music at q band concert in Blackwell the

them in the pipe. II went through his

Ponca City Courier: The rapidity Of the
age in which we live receives some addi-
tional evidence almost every day. When
the storm of last week swept over Okla
homa Sam Haycraft, who lives four miles
south of Tonkawa. was in this city on
business which required his presence here
during the day. He thought of the
calves and pigs at home that would suf-
fer by a little thoughtlessness on the
part of the boys. He thought of all these
things as he looked out upon the snow
swept stree, and he hurried to the near
est telephone and gave the boys mis- sug-
gestions just the same as II he had been
in his own dining-room, his yet thrown
upon the stove enjoying a General Ar
htur, - and the discomfeiture of the Brit
ish1 south of the Tugela. If the gold
standard and the octopus keep up their
lick it will soon be so that the American
farmer can lay in bed, press the button,

Enid Wave: While at FL Reno the
Wave man visited the Canadian county
jail by invitation. We gazed upon the
hardened features of Taylor Kirk, who
is under sentence of death. The cOunte-
nance of the murderer exhibits cold
blood, and his behavior carries out the
marks of his face. He seemed to be
perfectly unconcerned as to his impending
fate, and jailer said he was the jolliest
man in the Jail While there we were
posted on a trouble that overlook Sheriff
Porter, as follows: In taking an insane
patient to the sanitarium at Norman, the
sheriff stopped at the FL Reno Jail, on
business, having his prisoner with him.
Back of the jail cells is a bath tub in
full running order. In examining the Jail
the luney spied the tub and suddenly took
q notion he needed bath. He turned the
hot water on in full force and a small
stream of the cold. filling the tub about
two-thirds full, when he plunged into 1t
with mis- entire wardrobe on, even to his
hat The water being almost scalding
hot, he gave a Comanche yell which
brought the sheriff and the Jail force to
the rescue. Sheriff Porter had him run
through the jail wringer three or four
times, then famed the unfortunate young
man until his clothes were dry.
