ANSWER OF MAYOR ROSS
Grounds are Not sufficient to Remove
Him He Says.

Lawton, o. T, Dec. 4.-Mayor Lesluie p.
Ross has filed his answer to the iEforma-
ton in the district court 10 oust him from
Office. Ben Rice, Jr., and Col. Taylor are
counsel for the mayor.
The answer OF Mayor Ross is technical
in all respects. Each of the six counts
are first met with the allegation that the
count does not allege facts sufficient to
constitute ground for removal of this
defendant from the office of mayor"
Following this comes 4 general denial as
to the sufficiency of the entire six counts.
Then it is alleged that the court has no
jurisdiction IN actions prosecuted by accu-
sations of the grand jury"
From this answer it would seem that
thu defense is to be technical. until
such time as the techincalities areover-
ruled if they are overruled, and then Will
come q demand for ajury, and trial
on its merits before judge Gillette.
The information filed against Mr.. Ross
makes six charges. and is signed by w.
c. Stevens. county attorney. 1t first sets
forth that the grand jury made a report
of six counts. asking for the removal of
the mayor, and all these are set forth.
Then the county attorney proceeds ts
ask that the mayor be suspended from
office pending the investigation of the
charges.
It is charged that L. p. Ross, as mayor
has gambled. been drunk carried a con-
ceaIed revolver. and that he. with a shot
gun in his hand, threatened the life Of L.
T. Russell.
The result of this litigation vii be
watched with interest.

TEXT OF RESOLUTIONS
Passed by Non Partisan Convention at
Ciaremore.


The full text OF the resolutions passed
at the Clarcmore statehood convention
is as follows:
we. the people Of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory in convention assembled
confident that organic action is our man.
ifest destiny, again proclaim to the COR
gress that we favor the creation of a
single state out of the area now en-
braced within both these territories, and
we offer the following reasons in support
of our position:
F'irst-Neither territory alone has suffi-
cient area for separate statehood Okla
homas area is 5000 square miles; that
of the Indian Territory, only 1900 square
miles. The average area of the states
and territories west Of the Mississippi is
more than 10000 square miles. while that
Of Texas. our next-door neighbor 265 600.
our combined area viii make a state
less than seventy per cent Of the size
Of the average western state. while taken
separately we win be the two Rhode
Islands of the west.
Second ne resources of the two terri
tories complement each other. Oklahoma
is almost wholly agricultural while the
Indian Territory is richly endowed with
mineral wealth, and the combination win
make a state of unsurpas ssed variety and
abundance Of natural resources.
Third-Single statehood insures larger
taxable values. and consequently lower
taxation.
Fourth-single statehood eliminates a
crooked, wandering and fantastic boun-
Diary line which now divides the two
territories.
Fifth-Single statehood confirms and
cements a social fellowship already es-
tahlished BY iateTterritorial organiza-
tions Of the N. E. church South the NJ.
Z. church. the Episcopal church the
Presbyterian church, the Catholic church,
the Federation Of Womens clubs, the
Masonic and other fraternities.

tablished by interterr!toriai crganizations

shawnee Is the Victim or Many Out
law 6sance

Shawnee. 0. T. Dec. 5.-This city has
been the scene OF depredations from
thieves recently and while they have not
gotten much booty they have destroyed
considerable property. There was four
business houses burglarized at the first
OF the week.
The places that were entered and robbed
were Meeks meat market and Reebe's
Chaplains and the c. O. D. groceries.
Entrance was secured az Meeks meat
market through the front screen door
which was cut open and the money
drawer was ransacked of something near
81. Only forty cents in pennies were
taken from Reeble's grocery besides a
few salable articles that are missing
Entrance was gained there by breaking
the panel OF the rear door. The c. O. D.
and Chaplain groceries were entered
through the transom over the door and
some $ and s.. respectively. were taken
from the money drawers.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE
One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked

Headache is symptom, an indication
o. arrangement or disease in some organ.
and The cause of the headache is difficult
10 locate because So many diseases have
headache as a prominent symptom: de-
rangement of the stomach and liver.
heart trouble. kidney disease, lung trou-
bic. eye strain or i'll fitting glasses all
produce headaches and if we could al
ways locate the organ which is at fault
the cure of obstinate headaches would
be a much simpler matter
However. for that form Of headache
called frontal headache, pain back Of
the eyes and forehead. the cause is
known TO be catarrh of the head. and
throat, when the headache is located in
back of head and neck it is often caused
from catarrh of the stomach OF liver.
At any rate. catarrh is the most com
mon cause OF such headaches and the
cure Of the catarrh causes a prompt dis
appearance of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart Catarrh Tablets. a new internal
remedy in tablet form. composed of anti
septics like red gum blood root. which
