MOVED 1T IN A HURRY
fifty Wagons Carry County Seat
Away From CIOud CHER

Glthric, o. T., Aug. 25-The wonderful
speed with which a county seat can
change in Oklahoma is evidenced in
Washita county. where the seat Of GOV
eminent changed recently from Cloud
chief to Cordell. OF the change the
Cloud Chief Beacon says: Last Saturday
about fifty wagons from the vicinity Of
Cordel, rolled into Cloud Chief and .n
short order loaded all the county records
furniture, etc, and carried them to Cor
dell. and of course all county officers
had to follow. SO Cloud Chief is left
without an officer of any kind. EXCEPT
deputy District Clerk Henry \. Berry.

Tor they are a lively and whole-souled
set and we viii feel quite lonesome for
while without them, but such is life
In the far west.
Next week the Beacon will be pub
lished at CordelL This change has been
made necessary by the change of the
location Of the county seat, and not from
a preference on the part Of the Beacon

MY Be IDENTIFIED
Body of Man Found Near
KingfSher Two Weeks Ago.
WIFE RECOGNIZES HAIR
Of Her Husband. Who Myster-
iASIy Disappeared.

Guthrie, Aug. E.-About two weeks ego
the body Of an unknown man bound Up
in binding Irvine was found in a corn
field near Kingfisher. 1t is now thought
that the body has been identified. Tie
Kingfisher Pioneer says: A very much
distressed-looking woman with two chill
dren has been camping at G. L. Ferrari s
barn for several days. She gives her
name as Betty Choate, and her former
home eight miles south of Richmond,
Texas. She tells pitifuI tale, which if
true, accounts for her wandering over
the country in a wagon. Her story be-
gins with the loss Of her home and eight
children which were swept away in a
night by an overflow of the Brazos river.
She rescued one little girl about or 9
and her husband saved one Of the boys
about y years Of age. AS they had moth
ing left but team and wagon they
started northward. About five miles south
Of Okarche the family camped and Mr..
Choate secured work on a farm, where
they remained some time. On the morn
ing Of June 20, Choate disappeared He
started towards a creek which was dry,
saying as he left that he would be back
IN a few minutes. He never retained,
and search proved fruitless. The wife
would not believe that her husband had
deserted her, and continued the search
alone. Learning Of the finding of the
body Of man in a cornfeld neac this
city, Mrs. Choate came here with the
hope Of satisfying her own mind. lock
Of hair from the murdered mans head
was shown her and she claims it is that
Of her husband. She describes the cloth
ing found on the dead body, and also the
handkerchief, leaving little doubt as to
the identity Of the murdered man. The
woman is illiterate, and she cannot cffer
any theory whatever for the sudden dis
appearance and death Of her husband.
An investigation is being made in Can
adam county, where the family was
camped, and 1t is to be hoped that the
murderer will be found and brought to
justice.

THEY MAY BE- POWERLESS
DOutfuI if Police Judges Cut Any Ice
at All.

Guthrie O. T., Aug. "a case that is
before Judge Irwin and that will proba-
bly, be taken before the supreme court
affecting the police court Of cities OF the
first class is attracting a great amount
of interest among the attorneys OF the
CITY, An appeal from decision Of the
police Judge of FL Reno was made to the
district court and one Of the grounds of
appeal was that there was no law that
gave police judges any power to try
criminal cases The point raised was the
same as that raised by attorneys for
Marshal Hendry in their injunction suit
against the city council and the mayor
which was to the effect that all the Ju-
dicial powers of the territory was vested
in the probate, district, supreme and us
tice courts and that there was no author
ity for any other judicial proceedings to
be entertained by any other persons than
the officers of the above named courts. If
this contention is true the cases that are
tried in the police court and the judg-
ments that are rendered there are Of no
force at all.
An attorney Of Oklahoma City, discuss
ing the question in the Times-Journal, de-
clares that 1.-The police judge really has
no more right to commit man to jail
for any criminal offense or to try any
criminal case than has the policeman and
their decision would be Of just the same
effect as his in any crime that they may
find. The only remedy is for all the
violations Of the city ordinances and of
the statutes to be heard before some jus
tice Of the peace and have the revenue
there derived turned over to the city by
a special enactment Of the legislature.
This can be done I think, as 1t will not
violate the provisions Of the organic act.
But the present system Of police judges
in cities has no standing in law and can
not have until after Oklahoma becomes
state, and the legislature makes the office
of such power that 1t can legally enforce
its decree. Judge Irwin has not decided
the matter yet, but there is only one way
for him TO decide it,

SHAWNEE PEOPLE PROTES7

Guthrie, o. T., Aug 25.-Society in
Shawnee is sadly disrupted over a new
fad that a few women have sought to
introduce, namely, appearing in public on
horseback riding man fashion, with
bifurcated skirts. The editor of the Dem
ocrat, the local newspaper, was scandal
lied at the appearance created by the
daring women and ever since has been
making a violent crusade against the in
novation with the result that the citi-
zens of the town are taking sides on
the question. One of them writes the
following encouraging words to the pro-
testing editor:
you are decidedly right in holding up
to ridicule the efforts to force on this
country customs repulsive to the tradi-
tons Of all people of mature years.
Though the introducers be very, estima-
bic people they lack the years and ma
ture judgment which would protect the
gentler sex from the unkind and undigni-
fed jests and jeers of the irreverent BY

but they should, out of Difference to

PROPHECY AND TRAGEDY.
Cfnematographfc Pictures of the
Great Horitz, Religious Drama.

C1ncmatOSraphIC &sf1ctureS OF the
Great Horitzs Religious Drama.
The prophecy of the Cd Testament, the
tragedy of the New, were typified last
evening at ST. Lukeas Catholic church by
a series of interchangeable moving pic
lures tina. represented with remarkable
accuracy and realism scenes from sub
lime drama that is every ten years en-
acted in the little town of Horitz, in Bo-
hemia, by the peasants there. w. A. XII
rain, who has charge of the exhibition,
obtasad his pictures from photographs
taken from the play as given in Horitz.
The groupings are clear and artistic, and
the natural movements of the figures add
a realism that makes the audience forget
the clever mechanism in their absorbing
interest The exhibition was prefaced
with a series of photographs OF the par
Elephants in the Horitz drama. In the first
of the moving pictures the audience was
given a view of the garden of paradise,
the temptation of Eve and the fall, and
finally the expulsion. Dramatic scenes
from the Old Testament followed, the find
ing of Moses in the bulrushes, the march
of the Israelites, the picking of the heav-
en-sent mamma These pictures were fol-
lowed by series telling the story of the
passion, beginning with the annunciation
and ending with the resurrection of
Christ. Wonderfully hfe-like they were,
and the shadowy church, the music Of
the organ softly played, added not a little
to the effect. Perhaps the entrance CT
Christ into Jerusalem and the march to
Calvary were the two most effective pic
lures. indeed. the latter was almost pain
full in it's lifelikeness. The audience was
a good sized one, and deeply attentive.
