SAID HE'D STEAL A HORSE

Guthrie 0. T., Aug. An outlaw who
is one and doesn't care who knows it,
has come TO grief This Is Arthur Greene,
famous in his neighborhOod but unsung
outside Of it, His bailiwick was the
Usage and Cherokee Nations, and this
week Constable c. N. Digger Of Paw
huska nabbed him. Green had gallon
of alcohol and a stolen horse in his PCS
session when arrested
Green seemingly scorns a nickname,
but is otherwise dime-novelish. OF his
exploits the Pawhuska Journal says:
One Of the boldest bad men that plies his
trade in this county, where but few
years ago such characters were extreme
ly numerous, is Arthur Green. He as
pires to initiate the historic bandits of
the past and glories in his career of law
lessness and crime. Nearly every officer
along the borders has had a warrant for
his arrest About the boldest thing that
he has ever planned and carried out was
the theft of horse belonging to Chas.
Nash, at Cleveland, last Friday night.
He came to the town that day afoot and
boldly declared that he would steal
horse before morning. Nearly everybody
in town knew of the boast. but the next
morning Green and Nash's horse were
both gone He had young man with
him, and the other fellow remained until
morning, when he departed without let
or hindrance

1T WOULD RAISE NED
IfCattlemen's scheme on the kiOwa
Works.

Guthrie, o. T., August 4.-The cattle
men now holding leases in the Comanche
country held meeting at Rush Springs
last week for the purpose Of inducing the
Indians to take their 100000 acres graz
ing allotment in the southeastern corner
of the reservation, beginning al the north
boundary of the timber reserve, near
Marrow thence west about eighteen
miles, thence south to the Red river, in
Guiding all of that area Of land in the
southwest corner o fthe reservation. The
Duncan Banner, in this matter, says
There is no proposition today confront
ing Duncan, and other towns along the
Rock Island, that is fraught with more
danger to their growth and prosperity
and to the ruinatiOn Of every business
man and every business enterprise OF
the towns than the one now beipng adj
vocated by few selfish cattlemen to
have the Comanche and Kiowa Indians
take their 100000 acre allotment on the
east side Of the reservation adjoining the
towns along the Rock Island from Mar
low to Red river.
Should the scheme Of the cattle men
work it simply means the death knell
to NARROW, Duncan. Comanche, Adding
ton. Sugden. Ryan and Terral. But then
the scheme will never be worked.

VOIE FOR STATEHOOD
That Is What a Vote for
Flynn Is.
MAJORITY MUST BE BIG
If Statehood Is to be Secured
at Next Session of Congress.

Guthrie. o. T.. August by far the
most interesting phase OF the campaign
in Oklahoma Will be the effect of the
s,ze of Flynn's majority on the question
o. statehood
The matter has resolved Itself into
situation in which vote for Flynn is
a direct vote FOR early statehood while a
vote against him is vote against the
proposition.
Flynn's well advertised majority Of
5000 and over, two years ago, is the one
thing known by the national managers
of the Republican party about Oklahoma
more than any other item. 1t led them
TO believe at first that Oklahoma could
be accounted Republican state. But
a sober second thought made them re-
treat from this position and they asked
to have further proof OF Oklahomas
permanent political complexion.
Consequently IL Oklahoma is 10 have
statehood from the short session Of con-
gress next winter, the majority it gives
Flynn must equal his former 1000 ma
jority.
This is the reason for the repeated as
sertions on the part Of the Republican
managers that they intend to make a
hard campaign. Everyone versed in pol
itics is perfectly aware that Flynn need
not step outside his front door to be
elected to congress from Oklahoma this
year. He need not ask for a single vote
or make a single speech. An election
held today or three months hence would
give him big majority without organi-
cation or effort.
When the Republican managers have,
in acknowledging Flynns certain ma
jority. urged simultaneously that ev-
cry effort be put forth for his success.
what they purposed was to swell Hymns
majority to such a figure that congress
at its first short session will provide for
statehood for Oklahoma. The higher
above 5000 Flynn's majority is the read
Ter the present congress will be to grant
the ooon Oklahoma desires so ardently.
FIynn's election by goo or 5000 major
ity would block statehood. That is the
opinion of the Republican managers Of
the territory.
They believe, however. that Flynn Will
exceed his former 5000 majority. The
nomination OF Neff is regarded as a weak
one. Fusion in the different counties is
more incomplete than in former years.
The belief in Bryan's chances, belief
which elected Callahan IN 1925, has lost
it's intensity among the PopuIists and
the Democrats. Nef, the POpulist can
didate, lacks the earnestness and the
practical mental makeup that would
win him followers among the homestead
ers in Oklahoma. His campaign speeches
will be glittering generalities, without
the prefer Of a single plausible plan, and
Flynn who is immensely practical, viii
find him an easy opponent. At all events,
under their breath, the Republican lead
ers are talking about 1900 majority for
Flynn and the certainty of early state
b1nd
