Enid Wave: Soon after midnight, this
morning, the clouds let loose a cOpious
rain in these parts and the dampness
was accompanied by a strong southeast
wind. 1t seems that the storm caught
the wild geese in their regular spring tour
to the north land. The electric lights
brought the geese low down and they
sailed in a circle about the city and actu-
ally alighted in the vicinity Of some of
the lights. Some of orr star-eyed nira-
rods arose and kept up quite a shotgun
fusilade against the fool geese. 1t was
reported to US that about one dozen fine
geese were killed, yet we did not hear
who did the slaughtering. 1t is really
strange what fool a goose Is to allow
our twelvemiiIion candle power electric
arc lights to fool him. The rain was a
good one and it continued until about 10
O'Clock today. About one and on-fourth
inches OF. water fell.
Speaking Of Welty. the Red Rock rob
b !, the hiel Press says: Bert is a
young man about twenty-five years of
age, who has grown up in this com
munity, and was not generally believed
to be thoroughly bad boy, though a
little wild, until he was convicted Of
demonstrating in Blaine county and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary at Lansing
for term Of four years. Even then the
citizens of this community thought the
sentence harsh, considering his extreme
youth, and in view of this and out of re-
spect for his father, mother and sister
who have always born good regulations.
petitioned Governor Barnes. after he had
served about fourteen mouths, and was
pardOned on Thanksgiving day, 1883. This
community, almost without exception, re-
gret to hear Of Bert going wrong again,
bur we hear no word of sympathy for him
now, but on the other hand all are IN
favor of letting him pay the extreme
penalty, if guilty"
Mrs. c. z. Ferguson. Of the Chandler I
W. c. t. u. IN writing up the condi- /
tons Of Oklahoma jails, says in the
Chandler News: In the first place I
would state that there is no provision
whatever made for the care of female F
prisoners. For instance, there has been /
a young woman 19 years Of age in our
jail for the last two months. The officers /
have, I believe done the best they could /
under the existing conditions. The /
young woman has been kept in the outer
room where the jailer sleeps. In that /
room are two cots. one single and one !
double, no privacy whatever, not so /
much as a curtain. This woman at one !
time was so III as to require watchers |
all night, and not woman to aid or com /
fort her. She may be q criminal; if she /
is, this is the way to make her worse:
and If she be innocent. Ais is the way /
to destroy her seif-respect and make f.
her vile. I feel that the woulanhood of I
this land should demand that proper re-
spect be paid to her sex and that when a
woman is imprisoned there be a private /
apartment for her and a female jailer
to take care Of her. As women rarely put /
the county to expense by IawIessness.
they should be accorded proper consid-
Grafton for sex when so unfortunate as
to be placed on the criminal list"
