portuned to save Austin" or take upon
his guilty soul the risk of relapse on
the part of the Temperance advocate"
says that he gave Austin money to do
with as he pleased. II is hoped to get
enough others to say the same thing to
let Austin down easily; although it is
evident that Austin himself. in making
his voluminous and contradictory re-
ports to the Association, had not
thought of himself as a sole legatee.
He had perhaps acted as one but such
was not his pose. The Association also
and the Murphy Club had been led to
believe that the money was for the
cause and not the individual. Should
1t appear that the man had been set
above the work, the majority of the club
men will, it is said, withdraw from the
Murphy movement in disgust.
Following is detailed account of
yesterdays proceedings:
THE DAYS DoINGS.
Another cloistered meeting was held
yesterday by the Franklin Austin AS
sociation, Ltd. A reporter asked Mr.
Bancroft, the treasurer, If the press
would be allowed to attend upon the
mysteries, but Mr.. Bancroft did not
think that it would be possible.
little after o'clock Mr.. Austin,
Mr.. Bancroft and Mr.. Nakuina retired
into the gloomy depth of the backroon
and locked the door after themselves.
as usual. A reporter of the Advertiser
and one from another local paper
knocked at the door. and after a little
while Mr. Austins private secretary.
one Harry Hight, appeared. 1t must
be known by all men that the state OF
the financial affairs of the Austin AS
Sociation has not yet reached so low
a tide that 1t has been found necessary
to dispense with Mr. Austin's private
secretary. This gentleman first came
into prominence as the lieutenant OF
J. Leslie McComb. and later as an in
former for the police 1t seems that the
onerous duties of bouncer or the press
has been added to Mr.. Hight's present
work, though he seemed TO highly en-
JOY his duty. The reporters Knocked.
and Mr.. Hight appeared and threw the
door open and stepped back The first
of the reporters, a lady, entered, natu-
rally thinking that no one would bar
her progress. when Hight took hold of
her roughly and pushed her outside
He then told the reporters that he had
instructions from the gentlemen inside
to keep out the press. He then closed
the door.
a little while after this Theodore
Richards arrived and was admitted.
He stayed only a few minutes, how
ever, and when he left he told the
reporters, who were awaiting develop
ments outside, that MIR. Austin and
his following wished that the press
should be present at the meeting. Upon

MURPHY CLUB ROW BRINGS
OUT ANOTHER SENSATION
A Fake Entry of Two Hundred Dollars to
Influence Public Sentiment to
Get a Coat of WhiteWash.

HE knowledge of another startling
bit of financial jugglery came out
yesterday when leading financial
friends of the Murphy cause made in
quiry as to the 5000 reported to have
been given to the Francis Murphy AS
sociation between July 25 and Sept. 8
of this year, by Mrs. Mary E. Foster

There is also hue and cry for miss
ing property. The Gospel Temperance
League or Murphy Club had an ice
chest once, q coal-oil stove, some vases

that some of the luxuries of life are still

the rest.

this the reporters knocked again at the
door. For fully ten minutes they zeal
ously hammered and pounded, but It
was all of no avail The only result
was that an eye appeared at a little
hole in the door. Mr.. Austin after
wards explained that he really wanted
the press to be present, but that he
was so engrossed in chatting" that he
really" did not hear the knocking.
In the meantime the private secre-
tary handed the following note to the
reporters:
To the Press:
Please don't bother the animals while
they are feeding. Very respectfully,
HARRY HIGHT.
IN an interview Mr.. Hight stated
positively that he was Mr.. Austins
private secretary. On being asked IL
he was a member of the Murphy Tenn
perance Club he Indignantly denied
this. You don't see me wear the blue
Frantis Murphy's request he signed the
pledge.
Rev. Mr.. Westerveit came to the
meeting rather late, and only stayed
for a short while. While he was there
the only business done was to decide
in which way the Ministers Union
should cooperate with the Murphy
temperance work. 1t was decided that
the work of Mr., Murphy was worthy
of the full support of the union, and
arrangements were made for future
meetings, at which Mr.. Murphy should
address various audiences. The first
place Mr.. Murphy will go to viii be to
Eva, where he will deliver an address
at the native Sunday school exhibition
on the coming Sunday. Mr. Nakuirfa
will accompany Mr.. Murphy and viii
translate his remarks.
Mr.. Westervelt only stayed q short
time at the meeting, which closed very
soon after his arrival. No statement
of the doings of the three trustees
leaked out. One of the members gave
a reporter to understand that silence
had been imposed upon him.
THE AFTERNOON PROCEEDINGS.
During. the intervening time between
the closing of Austin's meeting and
the beginning of Mr.. Murphy's there
were no meetings, but excitement ran
high among the directors of Murphy
Club No. 1. Much talk was caused by
the mysterious Disappearance of an Ice
chest, coal oil stove, some vases, All
the club furniture belonging to the
kitchen and lunch room which the club
used to run; some ham, flour, etc. The
directors have been quietly investigai-
ing the matter during the last few
days, and they were at last told by tn :
former janitor where the things had
gone to.
This man said that while he yet was
the janitor of the club he had been
sent by Mr.. Bradley, the secretary, to
get an express wagon. He brought this
and Helped Mr.. Bradley to pack the
things into the wagon, which then de-
parted. This was the last the clubs
directors ever saw of the property. II
is said that this man is also going to
make complete inventory of the FUR
nishings belonging to the club while
he was there. 1t will be an interesting
thing to compare inventories when 9TH
srs appear.
The next development still more
startled the directors. They heard
that Mr.. Franklin Austin would nor
appear at the '.Vindication Meeting
today, for which he had asked the di
reetors to reserve the hail the day De

Part Was Washed Away Dur
ing High Water.

Work began on the rebuilding Of the
of the dam in Riverside Park in the Little
Arkansas river yesterday morning. The
dam washed out when the river was 50
high last spring. There has been a car
load of stone on the ground for some time
but workmen began tearing away the old
dam. The part of the old dam that was
washed out few weeks ago viii be en-
tirely torn out before work can be COM
menced on that which is left. All TIE
dam was injured and Will have to be re-
built. The city engineer said that he
could not make an exact estimate of the
cost until the wrecked part was torn
away. The dam viii be rebuilt in the
same place and not built farther up the
river. The city engineer considered build
ing the dam about three hundred yards
up the river but found that the cost
would be too great The present position
VIII give the river a depth of about five
feet at the north end of the park and the
water viii be over twelve feet deep near
the dam.
The new dam VIII be built entirely of
stone and win be thicker and stronger
than the old one was. The breaking of
the dam has caused considerable disap-
pointment to the people of this city and
there was great rejoicing yesterday when
they heard that the dam was to be re-
built. The water in the river is not over
six inches deep and the sand bars ill up
the river so that boating is almost i'm
possible. There is no more enjoyable re-
creation these hot evenings than a row on
the river and during the past two years
the river has been lined with boats every
evening from six to ten o'clock.

Buying Stolen Property.

Evidence Is CircumstantiaI

LEE AND PURCELL ON TRIAL

Gordon Hin reported TO the city court
yesterday morning on the warrant that
was issued for him on the charge Of re-
ceiving the goods which it is claimed
Warren Mckee stole from the Frisco de-
rot some time ago. Mr.. ain waived pre-
liminary hearing and Judge Harvey fixed
his bond for his appearance to the dis
trict court at $4,000. The bond was signed
by himself and T. II. Lane.
Ed Lee and Ed Purcell. the men who
ran the restaurant at Hiu's place, were
brought over from the Jail and their
preliminary hearing ives set for 8 o'clock
this morning. They were arrested by the
police at the same time that Gordon Bin
was apprehen6ed and held at the police
court until the warrant was sworn out.
Hil was released at the time on his own
recognizance, for the reason that the
officers were satisfied that he would not
leave the city. The other men We're
strangers, comparatively, and they were
held Judge Harvey fixed the bonds of
Lee and Purcell at $4,000 pending their
preliminary hearing, but they were una
bic to raise that amount and they We're
returned to the county jail
This case is creating good deal Of in
terest from the fact that the evidence
VIII be entirely circumstantiaL The to-
bacco stolen from the Frisco depot was
found in HnTs place OF business and Hill
admits that he bought the goods from
Warren Mckee. 1t is claimed that War
rem Mckee before his death made a state
ment that would be against Gordon HILL
but there is a question whether this wiz
be evidence against any of the other par
ties. il this position is correct, then the
prosecution viii have to show by other
evidence that these men who have been
arrested and whose possession of the
goods were, knew they were stolen. Tho
point will doubtless DC made by the state
that Gordon Hin at least knew that War
ren Mckee was not dealing legitimately
in tobacco and that a business man of or
binary sagacity would have had his sus-
picions aroused by the mere fact OF Nc

failed to take them. The Frisco people
say that it is only perishable goods that
are disposed OF in this way.
