FOUND N A GREEK
Body of a Young Man Named
MendeICheck, at Purcell.
WAS PROBABLY LASSOED
Man Seen Riding FuriousIy
From the Scene.

Purcell. 1. T.. Sept. 177.-The body of a
young man named Mendelcheck was
found in Walnut creek, in the southern
part of this city Saturday night under
circumstances which prove that a most
foul murder has been committed. The
head of the dead man wes crushed in,
eidently with blunt instrument in the
hands of an assassin, and there are many
other evidences Of foul play. The body
was found just before dark by farmer
who was coming into the city from the
south Just before arriving at the Wal
nut creek bridge, he met hatless horse
man riding south at furious rate, and
while crossing the bridge discovered the
body of Mendelcheck lying in the water
below. He gave the alarm and soon quite
a crowd was on the scene. 1t was dis
covered that Mendelcheck had been dead
but a few minutes as the body was still
warm. About 800 yards north of the
bridge the team and hack which the dead
men had been driving was found by the
roadside, and marks on the sand indicat-
ed where the body had been dragged
from there to the bridge. No instru-
ment with which the head could have
been crushed was found and the theory
is that Mendelcheck was lassoed and
pulled from his wagon, killing him.
Marks on the neck indicated that rope
had been tied tightly around it, although
it may have been done otter Mendel-
check was killed. 1t is supposed that
the man who was seen riding south from
the bridge just before the body was dis
covered is the man who did the work, al
though there is no proof of this. His
name is known and a posse is now in
pursuit Of him. Mendelcheck was
prominent farmer living six miles south
of town There is no motive known for
the crime, as he was at peace with all
his neighbors. There is considerable ex-
element over the affair.

STlLLWATER'S BIG ATTENDING {
Several Departments Crowded AL
readX-- Work in Domestic Economy

saltwater, o. T., Sept. lion the open
ing day at the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical college, more students ire in attend
ance than at any similar period hereto
fore. The recent heavy rains have de-
layed the coming of many and it is GER
tain that before the close Of the week
the attendance viii reach 80. Much of
this large increase in attendance is due
to the improved condition of the people OF
the territory and their consequent abil-
ity to provide for the education of their
children. A large part, however, is be-
cause Of more intimate knowledge con-
corning the character Of the work done
by the institution and the facilities which
it possesses for giving a first-class col
lege education. There IS even yet great
skepticism on this latter point among a
few but visit to the college effectuaily
banshes it.
It was thought that the new chemistry
building would serve the growing needs
of that department for many years, yet
with the opening Of the first year after
its completion the capacity of the sopho-
more laboratory is exceeded by ten and
it viii be necessary to make two divisions
Of the class. The cumulative laboratory
for advanced work in chemistry contains
desks for eighteen students; seventeen Of
the places are occupied. The mechanical
department is even more crowded than
this, there being but a small amount Of
available space for student work. Unless
more space is soon secured for the i'm
portant work Of this department it will
be necessary to curtail the work. of in
struction and turn away students who
wish TO take the course in engineering.
The new department Of domestic econ
omy is being installed rapidly and will
add much to the value of the work of the
institution. This department will do for
the girls what the agricultural and me-
chanical departments do for the boys. 1t
will train the hand and eye along the
lines of the greatest practical usefulness,
at the same time not neglecting the de-
veloping influence of thorough work in
the class room. The work in this depart
ment will not be that OF a cooking school
and only can be taken to advantage
along with the regular college course
Work in domestic economy is required of
all girls in the freshman class and of
the sophomore, junior, and senior girls
in the course in general science and liter
allure. The work in cooking covers, first
a detailed study of the composition OF
foods. Closely connected with this will
b work in practical hygiene Following
the preliminary work will be exercises in

that he, like Callahan, could accomplish
nothing in Congress. A campaign con-
tribution was made in cash, and a pledge

the lithographing Of the bonds. which will
cost $225 making the bonds sell at 103.
1t had been advertised that the council
would receive sealed bids for the bonds.

was not considered because of the fact
that it did not contain the certified check
for $500 which the council had decided
must accompany all bids AS all of the
bond buyers present were in favor of a
public sale. and as it was evident to the
council that in no other way could the
bonds be sold for so good a price, this
method of disposing Of them was adopt

M'MASTER ON STRAIGHTOUTS
He Reports GOOd Progress and ROasts
the Fas on SITS

Guthrie, O. T., Sept. 15.-Frank McMas-
ter, who is taking an active part in ar
ranging for a convention Of the straight
Democrats Of Oklahoma county on the
23rd inst, to protest against the fusion
ticet and to put up an independent ticket
says-in an interview:
I'VE are more than satisfied with the
the conditions we meet with in our ef-
forts 10 purify our party of the men that
are making it a refuge for an office
seeking and office holding class that be-
lee that they should have a life tenure
Of all the offices. The fact that nine of
the candidates are from the Second ward
Of the city alone is enough to give US a
thousand votes from men who believe
that the officials Of the county should
represent the county as well as the city.
The reports that 1 am receiving from
every township indicate the greatest state
Of disgust with the ticket and the action
of the eighty-eight delegates who voted
for the dishonorable fusion that was eff
fected. The idea that this number Of
men can bind the thousands of Democrat
voters in the county by voting for a fus-
ion that was not nominated in the call
os folly and there viii be at least 15eO
votes against the fusion ticket that will
be cast for the straight ticket"
