MERWlN GOT NOTHING.

County Attorney Hawkins calls a.ten

the Meiw:n case, wherein the former
deputy district attorney lost his suit
against Boulder county in the supreme
court, The public presumption was that

he wen, ahead, prosecuted all the cases
heard in he County and now receives
noticing for his years work. This, Of

IS PURGED

Is Quiet Place With Stringent
Police Patrol.
Nd GUARD HOUSE
Wherein All Lazy Men Are
Put TO Sweat 1t Out.

Lawton, O. T.. Sept. 2--The probate
court has had a steady grind on hands
yer since the opening and expects to be
able to transact business in the daylight
hours only. The guard house is put to
its utmost capacity at Fort sill. The
men bound over to the district court are
held there and chain gang has been in
stituted. For petty ofenses such as be-
ing drunk and disturbing the peace there
is no lookup. These prisoners are hand
euffed together in a string at night and
bedded down in a room. Every morning
a deputy sheriff marches them off as
scavengers, to clean UP the accumulated
filth left by campers. 1t is no uncommon
thing to see them laboriously digging the
grave for dead horse while the guard
sits of at a distance with a rifle in his
hands. over 20 ranch horses have been
disposed of in this manner, much to the
relief Of the citizens.
The favorite weapon Of the guard is the
Krag-G -Gorgensen carbine, carried by I'm
dersherin Rhodes while in the rough ri
ders company. 1t is sighted for 1000
yards and win kill at two miles. The
prisoners aare 4 horror of such gu
and none have so far attempted to es-
cape. The gamblerscould not stand the
heavy fines imposed on them and all left
within the first 10 days. The vagabonds
who alwoys follow such a crowd shake
the dust of their fet as fast as relieved
from the labor imposed by tn ecourts.
The remedy has been severe but effect
i've and Comanch county can boast as
good a government as any community
on earth No longer is there danger of
the footpad and cut-throat- They have
been effectuaIly driven out To accom-
plish this, Undersherif Rhodes with 10
deputies patroned the streets from y
o'clock ct night until sun up and made
an infalible rule that every person seen
on the streets must stand a search and
account for themselves. The first few
nights over a hundred men were arrested
for carrying deadly weapons and paid a
fine Of $25 each in addition to losing the
weapon, which was held by the court
and turned over to the sheriff He keeps
them in a large trunk. They will be
sold eventually and the proceeds turned
into the county treasury

TERRITORY
EXHIBIT TO
BE FINEST
Work on Exhibits for ST.
Louis Fair Being Made.
LETTER FROM MANAGER
Of Exposition Praises 0klaho-
ma for Its Enterprise,

Guthrie, o. T, Sept. 2.-The commits
sioners appointed TO represent the terri
tory at the ST. Louis exposition met in
the governors Office today and discussed
plans and reported the progress being
made in the matter of gathering together
exhibits for the big fair.
The commissioners reported that they
would have wheat from nearly every
county in the territory. and that the same
would be world-beater. as it would test
from 81 10 So pounds 10 the bushel. Other
agricultural and productive exhibits were
being prepared. and the showing from
the territory viii surpass all former ef-
forts. At the suggestion Of the governor,
it was decided to construct the Oklahoma
building at St. Louis entirely out OF ma
terial from the territory, thus showing TO
the world the vast resources of Oklahoma.
Some time ago the governor received
a letter from Mr.. Houser, chairman of the
committee on exhibits. asking if the ter
ritory would make an exhibit, also if the
coming legislature would make an appro-
priattion to defrsy Jne expense. The gov
alton had already been made, that the
commissioners had been appointed. that
they were busily engaged in making a
collection of exhibits that would surpass
all former efforts OF the territory. and
that Oklahoma would be on hand with a
big show and building of her own The
answer startled the managers of the ex-
position and the governor has received LIE
following self explanatory letter in reply:
st. Louis, Aug. 80. 1901
Sir: have in hand your letter Of Aug
ust 6. addressed to Mr.. Houser, chair
man, and am directed by him TO thank
you for your courtesy. I wish I could
tell you the many favorable comments
that have been made upon it 10y our Of
ficers. 1t came in the nature of com
plete surprise. as in some unaccountable
way we had entirely overlooked the fact
that Oklahoma had made an appropria-
ton. We had gained the impression that
we were hustIers, but we don our caps to
you and the people Of your most enter
prising state,
am going to take the liberty Of Civ
ing your letter iu full to the press, as 7
believe that such enterprise and push
as has been demonstrated BY your state
is calculated to set a worthy example
to the older states Of the union.
note with particular interest what
you say concerning a meeting of the com
mission to be held at an early date, and
assure you that this committee viii CO.
