Director Lewis Wants to
Honor Those Who Braved
the Storm, But Mr..
Egbert Objects.

The Board of Education met last night
at the City Hall. All the members were
present except Director Treacy. A large
part of the time was taken up in dis
cussion regarding the attendance atschool
of certain teachers on February II, the
date of the blizzard and the absence of
others. The absentees were in the ma
jority.
Director Lewis began the discussion by
reading a list of those who reported for
duty on that day, and he referred to the
list as a Roll of Honor" He praised
those who attended enthusiastically, and
credited them with making heroic efforts
to fullful their duties to the city. He
then moved that their names be filed by
the clerk as a mark of special eommenda-
tion, and upon a vote this was done.
Director Egbert then took the floor and
expressed himself as opposed to the ac-
tion, because it reflected on those who
were unable to successfully combat the
violence of the storm. He said that many
who had not attended made every effort,
and showed that Of those who did reacn
the schools mary lived near the scffcol in
which they were employed. Director Eg-
bert then moved that the action taken on
Director Lewis motion be reconsidered,
and this was carried. Directors Lewis and
Lyons voted nay. Director Egbert then
moved that the matter be laid over in
definitely, and this was carried. the only
nays coming from Directors Lewis and
Lyons. In his remarks Director Lewis re-
ferred repeatedly to March II instead of
February II. and was astonished at the
laughter his break" caused. Turning to
President Ward, Mr. Lewis said:-
MIR. President, you can remember how
stormy it was ON March 17?"

The boys predicament was brought to
the attention of the Fifth precinct police
last night. Policeman Fred Schiebe was
informed by residents in the neighborhocd

house. and was frequently bound so that
he could not leave the premises. Schiene

is twenty-five years old and has a wife
and two children. was in the habit Of put
ting a pair of handouts on the boy IN or

from home. Schiebe ordered the boy re-
leased and took him and his captor to tha
police station.
There Robert explained that he had put
the handouts on his stepbrother to keep
him off the streets. He said that Eddie
was very bad boy and had no father to
take care of him. Mrs Devine. who ac-
c0mpanied the brothers to the police sta-

the boy at home.

LUNCH FOR TRACK LAYERS
People of RalstOn DO RIgRt Thing by
Railroad Men.

Ralston, o. THE Free Press says:
ednesday afternoon the tracklayers on
the Eastern Oklahoma reached this place
and were met by hundreds of men, ladies
and children from the town and sur
rounding country who had turned out TO
see the big track gang at work. 1t was
a pleasant Gay and all afternoon large
crowds of spectators were at the works
When the last rails were lain this side
the Eagle Greek bridge, which was not
completed, the entire gang. consisting Of
about 125 men. were invited to partake
of a lunch of sandwiches, pickles and
cold beer, which had been prepared for
them through the courtesy Of a number
of our business men. The men had been
working fast and did ample justice to
the lunch when the opportunity was Of
fered. This was pleasant recognition Of
the men and we believe was fully ap-
preciated by them. and also expresses a
feeling of good viii towards them by
parties in charge of the affair
Ralston at last has railroad. and
with it comes a feeling that we are
within the pals of commercial activity.
y few more days and the depot viii have
been built and trains running regularly
between Guthrie and the Arkansas river.
With railroad facilities now. the indi-
cations are that Ralston viii start from

CONREY MURDER CASE
Two Women who Mny Get New Trial
in Oklahoma

Chandler. o. T., April 1.-THE News
has the following interesting story about
the recent trial of murderesses in Lin
coin county:
The murderer of Corinne Rowland the
infant put out Of existence at Stroud last
February. has been avenged IN so far
as the law of Lincoln county is con-
cerned- Mrs. Lydia Rowland, claiming
TO be the mother of the child, and Mrs.
Mary Conrey. the old b lind woman who
accompanied Mrs. Rowland, have been
found guilty Of murder by a jury and
their sentence set at life Imprisonment.
This case is a singular one in many
respects. It contains much of mystery
and much that VIII likely never be IN
derstood- IN the first place the identity
of the women is uusoIved. Whence they
came and the motive of the murder have
not been explained. That the child was
murdered there can be no doubt That
one or both OF the women had a hand
in administering the deadly carbolic acid
is equally certain. The identity of the
child is mystery. Some declare that
Mrs. Rowland was not its mother AID
one theory OF the prosecution Is that the
women were hired by some interested
persons to XIII the pratuing babe.

Snow.

If snow were scarlet instead Of white
How the world would blaze OF winter night;
And if it yellow how people would stare
At the stars that came futtering through the air;
AID if it were blue as October skies
We should have to wear spectacles over our eyes;
And If it were pink, don't you think
The clouds would bloom that were black as ink?
Yet, after ALL there's nothing so bright.
So dainty and cheerful, so lovely and light,
AS the feecy flakes of delicate white.
