many of the buildings are crowded. while
others have not nearly their complement
Of pupils. The board very reasonably
believes that the transfers are not only
desirable for comfort. but imperative for
health and tuition and it is hoped that
parents VIII see the matter in the same
light. for though the children may IN

Business Men are to Buy AutOmo
bIIess

Geo. K. Spencer believes the automobile
has come to stay. He has been using one
since last February. and he says they
are just the vehicle for business.
Mr.. Spencer says he could name five
business men in this city who are making
contracts for machines that will cost s., 0oC
tC 5000 each. The men had asked him
not to give their names. as they did not
wish to be annoyed by agents of the
manufacturers.
He says the city of Wichita ought to
have an ordinance that would not only
regulate the speed of automobiles on the
streets, but that would prevent people
running them on the streets who are not
competent to control them.
He said there were 5000 automobiles
registered in Chicago and 1000 in New
York In each of those cities people had
TO demonstrate their ability TO manage
a machine before they could have it reg
istered. and until it was registered they
could not run on the streets

Hole In IL.

Guthrie. O. T.. August 30-Horses in
running away. usually succeed in doing
some great dmage. but have seldom. il
ever been known to wreck a dwelling
house. The Wakita Herald gives an ac-
count where brick house suffered. The
Herald says: Z. 2. Ferguson had quite
an exciting runaway Saturday, which
ended with about six feet of the wall Of
his house lying in pile OF brick. but no
further damage being done. The front
room Of his house is built OF brick and
the wall is only eight inches thick. His
horses were standing alone near the rail

ran toward the house. One OF the horses
is blind 50 Of course did not see the
house. and ran straight for IL The
tongue Of the wagon struck the wall fair
and square and eight feet Of il went in
onto the floor in a heap. but the horses
stopped short. and the fright changed to
the family. which was sitting in the room

quickly retreated 70 an adjoining room.

and secured the team. Monday morning

SOL. WENT TOO FAR
He Should not Have Kept the Guns
Taken from Officers.

Guthrie, o. T.. August 30--The people Of
Oklahoma have just about forgotten that
there is such a person as Sol Temple. the
notorious jail breaker. who so often has
given the officers the slip.
Temples escapes are called up by the
intended prosecution OF the outlaw as
reported in the Manchester Journal, which
says:
County Attorney Million says that the
charges now against Sol Temple In the
district court for Grant county are two
charges Of robbery, one for taking the
guns from Sheriff Butts. the other for TAX
ing guns from a deputy. and one charge
for resisting an officer. All three crimes
were committed when Sol locked Butts
and three deputies in a cave near Med
ford. Had Sol thrown away the guns
after locking the officers in cave. ne
would be in no danger of anything but
jail sentence. since that is the only pun
ishment for resisting an officer By
keeping the guns Sol made it a robbery.
where. had he thrown them TO one side.
it would have been done only as means
were two other charges against Sol
of escape. which is no crime. Mr.. NIL
lion expects to convict Sol on the rob
berry charge and land him in the pen.
here were two other charges against
Sol for robhing a box car. bat these were
dismissed for lack Of evidence. The cOun-
ty attorney says Il is a useless expense
to prosecute Sol for an offense only pun
ishable by a Jail sentence. Sol don't
consider jail life punishment. When II
comes to that. Sol packs his buds and
leaves Woods county wants Sol on
charge OF assault on a section foreman.
These charges are the only ones against
Sol so far as known TO the county attor-
ney. Mr.. Million says Sol can not be
prosecuted for appropristing guns OF
horses when used TO effect an escape and
later returns them. II he keeps them. Il
is robbery. He turned Sam McMullin's
horse loose and It came back. He kept
the sherins gun.

Vene Next Monday.

TiShomingo. I T, August 30.-The
Chiekasaw legislature will convene here
on next Monday. The indications are
that this viii be a very interesting ses-
sion of the legislature, as there are to
be many things done by the Chickasaws
in winding up their vast estate.
The first thing that viii demand the at
tention of the legislature VIII be to settle

Palmer Nosley as to which shall be the
next governor of the Chickasaw nation.
Both Of these parties are claiming to

Il votes and Mosley by a majority Of 6
votes. The election recently held in Pom
tattoo county was declared void by the
county Judge for the reason that the polls
had not been signed by the election Of
ficers The Byrd followers are very in
dignant over the action OF Judge George
Colbert and say that they viii contest
the matter before the legislature. There
is a report that United States Indian
Agent Schoenfelt has been asked to send
a company Of United States soldiers to
this place TO avoid any violence that
might take place This report is denied
Nf the ITlHnNS OF Governor johnston. the
present governor It is believed. how
ever. that several Indian police wifi be
here on Monday TO auell any disturbance
that might take place.

ratification Of the treaty. while the Byrd
faction are said 20 he opposed 70 its rati-
hcation McCurtain. the recently elected

that most of the ful-hioods favor the

RURAL FREE DELIVERY
Route Proposed TO Run from okeene
Twenty-our Miles.

Guthrie, o. T.. August S0.-A rural
free delivery system in Blaine county Is
one of the possibilities of the near future.
The route. as proposed, viii start from
Okeene. and be twenty-four miles in
length. the greatest distance reached be-
ing sefen miles east and three north. A
petition is being circulated among the
farmers living along this route and it
quite readily says the Republican. There
are some, however, who do not realize
the great benefit to be derived from rural
delivery and refuse to sign petition
for the same, thus depriving themselves
of one Of the greatest advantages in the
domain of Uncle Sam. and hindering
those who would make use of the sys-
tenn. The greatest opposers are those
who live from ten rods to one-haIf mile
from the line on which the proposed route
runs It should be taken into considera-
ton that the route cannot pass every
mans house and every man within three
quarters of a mile from the route should
put his shoulder to the wheel and push
this project along. The postoffice depart
ment provides these systems for the bene-
fit OF the farmers, without cost, other
than the erection of a box which the
patrons must provide al an expense OF
not to exceed g. 1t is likely that route
will also be established southeast from
