SAVED BY A PINCH OF SALT
How an Oklahoma Woman Managed
TO Escape the lightning

Guthrie O. T., April 14.-An eye wit
ness to the affair reports this incident of
a storm to the CARRIER Trumpet saying:
During the thunder storm last week
little incident occurred at the home of E.
D. Murphy four miles south of CARRIER,
that is worthy Of note. The men were
sitting around the kitchen stove while
Mrs Murphy was preparing the meal.
She was stirring a dish on the stove and
had just stepped back to the table for
pinch of salt, when the lightning struck
the house and ran down the fiue, strik-
ing the stove, the top of which was scat
tered over the room. The men were bad
ly bruised but the only serious damage
was to Wilkes shoe, the end of which
was torn off, and, thinking his foot was
badly hurt, danced around the room in
a frastic manner in frantic manner,
crying. "hellsphire my foot is knocked
off, but after quieting him down an eX-
animation was made and the dark spots
that resenbled a bruise, such as light
ming causes, was where his foot had come
in contact with particles of mother earth.
But the "Dinch of SALT sure saved
Mother Murphy from a worse fate.

day, and a search for his whereabouts
was at once instituted. He was traced
to the river where he had sat down and
played with a dog. Fears that he had
fallen into the river were at once enter
tanned, and the neighborhood was ap-
pealed to for assistance in making further
search The river was dragged until dark
and a search of the surrounding country
kept up until o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, but no trace of the little fellow was
found. The night was cold and stormy.
and the child could hardly have survived
out Of doors all night The parents are
quite content, however. that the child
fell into the river and was drowned.
The bank Is high and steep where he had
been playing. Search in the river was
continued Wednesday, and dynamite used
to float the body, but at last reports with
out result. The river is up and the body
would probably have been carried con-
siderable distance away.

WOMEN MAY TAKE A HAND
I'm the Matter of Liquor Violations in
the City ofTecumseh.

Guthrie, Q. T., April 14.-Some of the
women of Tecunseh threaten war on the
SELDOM men of that place, and in one in
stance woman who signs herself EN-
ma" declares that she will make a direct
appeal to Judge Burwell. In commu-
nication in the Tecumseh Republican this
writer says with great violence:
''Of all the evils that afhict the human
race, none so terrible, so fraught with
evil results so ruinous TO homes, so pros
tituting to noble manhood, as the gulping
down of poisonous whisky. 1t degrades
its victims to the semblance OF brutes; II
wrecks once happy homes; 1t breaks the
hearts of loving wives; it fills the jais
and state prisons; it launches men from
the scaffold to a drunkard's grave and
costs the honest people millions of dol
lars of their hard earnings to support the
courts for prosecutions Could 1 dip my
pen in the fountain Of all wisdom, or
literature par excellence, would then
fail to accurately depict the horrible evils
of intemperance And where are we?
What are we to do? For a vast number
of years an army of noble women ~have
fought the monstrous evil-have prayed,
wept scalding tears of sorrow, gone 10
early graves, and yet the evil grows day
by day Two great political parties favor
its spread and growth; their great con-
ventions reek with the disgusting odor
of the deodly poison and majority of lis
members reel to their beds at night. The
ministers of the gospel, God bless them,
almost daily thunder their condemnation
against its evil spread, and still it grows
stronger and stronger, and like the ana
conda draws its deadly folds around its
victim The solons of our lovely terri
tory have given its spread full scope 10y
legislative enactment. Why don't they
pass a law that any man may commit
rape if he will deposit $500 with the coun-
ty treasurer? The crime, while hideous
beyond expression, would not be greater
than for a man to sell whisky to an
other when he knows that the victim VIII
go home and abuse his heart-broken WIFE
and starving children. To cut long
matter short, we women are going to use
the only chance left us. and it is for that
reason we write this warning. Our ben
evolent solons have forbidden the sale OF
this damning beverage on Sunday ana
after midnight to boys and confirmed
drunkards. They have also Il Ridden
gambling. Now, we say kindly-and we
swear ft-you must obey these prohibitive
laws. We know you sell every Sabbath;
to boys, to drunkards, and that your
gambling dens run all the while. II
you stop these things now and at once
we may forgive the past; but mark you!
If YOU don't We'll publish your namzw and
your crimes and make a direct appeal to
Judge Burwell at the ensuing term OF MS
court. Will you take heed? You had bet
ter"
