officers know of the escape, so crawling
through the opening made by those gone
he went out and hunted up the officers
and gave the alarm. The deputies left
the show at once and Sheriff Blalock got
up from sick bed and went to the Jail
to personally superintend the organiza-
ton of posses fer the hunt. Several men
volunteered to assist in the hunt and It
was only short time until every road
leading from Mangum was closely scout
ed.
Early Friday morning Deputies Henry
and Will Kicks found tracks of lone
footman in the sands OF North Fork,
near Mission Springs. It was easy TO fol-
low the footprints in the loose sand They
gave chase and spied their game making
his way for the mountains. They judged
he would not remain in the mountains
long and to be ready for him they made
way around near where they supposed
he would come out. Their suppositions
proved true. Cary, alias Young, soon
emerged from the mountains and made
his way across the prairie towards Noun
tain View. The deputies dropped in be-
tween him and the mountains and there
started LOT MIN. "A COWBOY II front WAS
attracting the attention of the pursued
so he failed to discover the pursuers in
his rear. When the cowboy got near, he
laid down IN the grass, for the purpose,
it is thought, of surprising the cowboy
and taking his horse. Here the deputies
came upon him and made the capture.
He Offered no resistance.
Jasper Banks and Cal Harmon were
captured at Settles Mountain, ten miles
east of town by Shorty Thompson and one
other person"
Further along the Star semi-editorially
Celebrates a joke from the jailbreak and
preceding circumstances, as follows:
1.-The ministers who were conducting the
revival here last week held services in
the jail Thursday afternoon. Brother
Elder talked to the prisoners of the ex-
periences of Paul and Silas while in the
jail at Phillip, recounting their miracu-
lous escape. Whether q spiritual bless
ing resulted or not is hardly known, but
a temporal activity developed just after
dark that evening which resulted in the
escape of four Of the worst characters
confined there"

ANOTHER SPITE FENCE CASE
Ritter VS.. Smith in Court at Chandler

Guthrie, o. r.. July 24-The Leader
says: The defense in the controversy at
Chandler over a spite fence, bears the
same name, Smith. as the defendant in
the Guthrie case Mr. and Mrs. w A.
Smith own a millinery store on a lot
Immediately south and adjoining a lot
on which is built the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Z. G. Ritter. The families
quarreled and about a month ago Mrs.
Smith hired carpenters and began to
build tight fence ten feet high on the
line separating the two properties and
within two feet Of the windows and doors
CT the Ritter home. Such a fence would
shut off the south breeze and make the
Ritters very uncomfortable. The car
penters upon learning that the fence was
a spite" fence, stopped work, and as
many as fifteen carpenters were hired be-
fore the fence was half built
On July 3, while the Ritters were alb
sent at Oklahoma City, Mrs. Smith got a
new force of carpenters and resumed
work. On the evening of July 6, the town
board of trustees passed an ordinance
prohibiting the erection of spite fences
in Chandler.
The Smiths were notified the following
morning 20 remove the fence within three
days. The notice was disregarded and
at the end of three days Mrs. Smith and
her husband were arrested At their
trial last Monday the lawyers demurred
to the complaint upon the ground that
the board had no power to pass such an
ordinance The demurrer was overruled
Smith claimed that the fence was to be
a shed for general purposes, and that
when completed it would be 100 feet long
and ten feet high. He denied that it was
intended to annoy the Ritters. The court
took the case under advisement awaiting
the decision of Judge Hainer in the

AN INJUNCTION

Against the State and National
Councils, Jr o. U. A. M.
HARRISBURG, Pa, March Ii
Judge Weiss handed down an opinion
late last evening restraining the State
and National Councils of the Jr o. U.
A. M. from making the per capita tax
OF Is cents levied by the National
Council at its annual session at Mimi
eapolis. The State Council was sus-
pended BY the National Council last
September at Scranton for declining
to pay this tax and was subsequently
reinstated by the National Judiciary
Committee. Derry Council, of Hum
mellstown, and a large number of
other councils through the State re-
fused to submit to the imposition Of
the tax and recently brought suit in
the Dauphin County Court to restrain
the State and National Councils from
collecting it on the ground that the
session at Minneapolis was irregular
and illegal. Judge Weiss sustains this
contention and enjoins the State and
National Councils from collecting the
tax or disciplining the councils which
refuse to pay it. The case will be
carried to the Supreme Court.
