The Minneapolis Times abiding to

Perry Heath will so go down in his

it's reason for this prediction upon

seen Mr.. Heath swing a pick or flip a
scraper, but in an indirect way Perry
has given the good roads movement
a greater boost than it has received
from any other citizen in private or

this by putting the rural free delivery
idea into practical effect. He was
not the originator of that idea, for it
has been dreamed of ever since urban
free delivery was first established.

CHARGED WITH RoFF ROBBERY
Postal Agent Believes the Right Man
Is I'm Safe Keeping.

- III oaiS NSSpihR.
Malcolm NJ. Brown, who is in
carcerated here charged with the
Rolf postofliee robbery, was seen
this morning by reporter. Brown
says his home is in Fort Worth,
where he has wife and three chill
dren. He stated that he had been
to I'll Reno to register and was at
Sulphur having a good time when
arrested. When placed in jail he
stated that he could neither read
nor write, but he is a man of some
intelligence, and Inspector Weik
has learned that he writes a very
good hand.
Brown would not tell where he
was on the night of the robbery,
but said he would prove that when
brought to trial He stated that
his parents are living, but refused
to tell where they are.
When questioned concerning the
special delivery and Scent stamps
on his person at the time of his ar
rest and told that stamps of the
same denomination were scattered
around the safe that was robbed,
Brown could offer no explanation.
Mayor Kendall of Sulphur believes
that Brown belongs to gang OF
safe crackers.
Inspector Weik believes that he
has the right man and will investi
gate the case thoroughly. Browns
picture will be made tomorrow.

lust Fish story.

| absent for some uaNs Ietulhc WIN
a first class fish stoiy-He says as
he came through Sulphur Springs
he was invited to join party OF
fishermen who were bound for
Rock Creek. The party consisted
ofJ.J McAlester, Presley Cole,
Mr.. Taylor and a Mr.. Johnson
from South McAlester. 1t was
Mr.. Jomson's first excursion into
the domain of the fnneiy tribe.
He had lived in South McAlester
for years and always wanted to go
fishing. He had listened to the
marvellous fish stories OF Judge
Steuart, Jobe, Fielding and Others
until he was afraid to make an
effort, lest he should be unmerei'
fully guyed. He said he had
noticed that Notwithstanding these
gentlemen were all of the highest
integrity, their fish stories were
not always received with the great
est enthusiasm He concluded he
would 90 away from home to fish
so that if he failed no one at home
would know it.
His luck was phenominal from
the first lie had been fishing but
few minutes when be landed a
two pound channel cat After
having the fish removed from the
hook and after being resuscitated
he tried his hand again, and again
until he had caught eight or ten.
He then began preparing to
prove when he reached home, his
remarkable catch. He first APP
preached Mr.. McAlester, but soon
recalled that Mr.. McAlester had
been telling hunting and fishing
stories ever since they had been
out and had forgotten to mention
that anyone else except himself
ever killed any game or caught
any fish, His first impression was
that is was simply lapse Of mem
ory on the part of Mr.. McAlester
on account of the long time
that had elapsed but later conclu-
ded, that Mr.. McAlester's memory
seemed to run almost exclusively
to the fish that he had caught.
Suppose he should undertake to
humilate Steuart, Jobe and others
by having Mr.. McAlester verify
! his fish story and Mr.. McAlester
should suddenly become affected
with one of those lapses of memory
and remember that he caught the
fish himself
He felt intensely Inundated even
at the thought of such a thing and
appealed to Mr.. Bledsoe to help
him. Mr. Bledsoe explained that
he had not always been able to
make people believe his FISH stories
but knowing the truth of his (Mr.
Johnson's) would aid him what he
could in establishing it. So it was
agreed that the story should be
given to the ARDMoREITE, and
that it would be reproduced by the
Capital. Mr.. Johnson feeling that
Mr.. Jobe was likely to believe
most any kind of a fish story.
When we returned to Sulphur
Mr.. johnson had the fish weighed
and ascertained their weight to bt
22% pounds. He afterwards had
them weighed on twelve other
scales in an effort to raise Their
weight to twenty-five pounds bu
without success. 1t is presumed
however he will have succeeded il
increasing their weight 10y NOR,
than . pounds before he reaches
South McAlester.
Say Mr.. Reporter don't YOU tel
that Mr., johnson asked me to dC
this.
