Guard Eating.

Guthrie, o. T. Dec 2e-The man VII

few days ago by Chief Grail. on informa-
tion that he was wanted at Winfield.
Kansas. on charge of forgery and who
was being guarded this morning by OF
Ger Stricklin, managed 10 give his guard
the slip and is either hiding in the city
or in fightsto parts unknown, says the
Shawnee Quill.
The circumstances of the fellows sue
cessful getaway" as reported are that
at the breakfast hour this morning Guard
Stricklin took his prisoner TO a boarding
both partook OF the morning meal. but
it seems that Johnson finished eating be-
fore the guard ha6 satisfied his appetite
and walking toward the front OF the
room took q position 10 await Mr..
Stricklins' coming; soon. however. he
seems to have noticed the officers atten-
ton to be turned in another direction
and moment later he had quietly passed
out of the room and disappeared from
sight.
AS soon as he had discovered the loss
Of his prisoner the officer notified the
chief who at once set mis- force search
ing for johnson and later two deputy
sheriffs joined in the hunt for him, but
Up to a late hour this afternoon he had
been successful in eluuIng his would-be
captors.
Chief Grail expected an officer from
Winfield on this evenings train after the
prisoner and is considerably worked up
over his escape-so much so in fact as TO
offer a reward Of SIS from his own pocket
TO anyone who will return the man to
his Gust ody.

DIED OF HEART DISEASE
Was Found Lying Inside His Barn
Door BY His Wife.

Byron, o. T, Dec 22.-The Republican
reports this sad death: Our community
was greatly shocked Monday evening.
when the news was spread over town
that Pleasant Nowlin had suddenly died.
He was quite an old gentleman. but ap-
peared in as good ag health as common.
He spent most of the time down town
Monday, and seemed to be in good spirits
making no complaint whatever. He re-
turned home about o'clock and went
to the barn TO do his evening chores. He
stayed longer than Mrs. Nowlin thought
necessary, and becoming somewhat IN
easy about him, went to the barn to
see what he might be doing. She found
him lying just inside the barn door dead.
The neighbors Immediately gathered in,
carried the body TO the house. where an
inquest was held by Judge kephart and
a verdict rendered. stating that he had
died of heart failure. He owned quite
fractions horse and it was first thought
that he might have been kicked but an
examination OF the body revealed no
evidence or this.

CAN GET ARTESlAN WATER
saltwater Nan Declares Wells
Would Not Have TO nc sbeep.

Guthrie, 0. T, Dec Pit is the opinion
of J. J.. Palmer, the cotton man, that
Saltwater can get artesian water with
out going very deep. He has done a
great deal Of experimenting and his opin-
ion is not mere conjecture. declares the
Gazette. Some time ago he had J. w.
Thatcher drill a we'll for his gin. He
went down 152 feet and water came UP in
one night within twelve feet of the top
of the ground. This water stays at that
distance from the top OF the ground
all the time and Mr.. Palmour thinks that
ii the city would put that well a little
deeper it would get an ineXhaustible sup
ply of water and that the water would
flow from the top. This may be a good
way to solve the water question. 1t is
worth investigating, anyway

"A rather novel hygrometer has been
patented by j. II. Geerer of this city, and
he has just received his papers from the

Of cat gut, a harp string on heavy vio-
lin string. one end of which is fastened
and the other free. on the end which is
free he has placed a series OF miniature

bureaus. and in front of them a dial,
which registers their movements. The
changes in the atmosphere work on the
cat gut, moisture causing it 10 expand

it expands it untwists and causes the

OFFICERS DID GOOD WORK
Shoot Two KiShwaymen. Who Had
Refused to Surrender.

Ardmore, I. T., Dec. 2e.-Of the killing
of George Sloan, an alleged robber, the
-4rdmoreite says:
F'riuay afternoon Sloan and another
party held up two men near Durwood,
one jew and the other an old man, TAX
ing from the Jew a watch and 81 in mon
ey ana from the other party $40 in mon
ey. The robbers then made their way
westward and the men who had been
robbed went back to Durwood and tried
to telephone to Ardmore, but the line
being down they called up Provence and
described the men and their horses and
asked the people of Provence to look
out Ter Them and effect their capture.
There was no officer at Provence, but
Jack Avants volunteered to do the work,
and took his Winchester out about 600
yards east Of town and awaited the COM
ing of the robbers. Avants was hot de-
tained long at his post when two men
on horseback came in sight and they
suited exactly the description he had
been given. Avants selected large oak
tree TO shield himself, and when the rob-
bers got within forty or fifty yards OF
him he told them to stop and consider
themselves under arrest.
Upon receiving this command the rob-
ber who was riding a fine gray horse
opened fire upon Avants and fired two
shots at him before he (Avants) returned
the fire. Avants then began shooting and
the man on the gray horse succeeded IN
getting away and making his escape.
Avants shot the other mans horse from
under him, and as the man regained
his feet from the horse falling he told
him to throw down his pistol, but in
stead of doing so ne raised IL up and
fired at him. Then Avants fired again.
