Hammer of Oklahoma City
Makes Grave Charges
AGAINST WARREN BROWN

AGAINST WARREN BROWN

Guthrie, o. T. Jan. Charges against
judges in the three new counties relative
to the proving up of townsites continue
to accumulate.
Judge A. B. Hammer of Oklahoma City
has filed charges with Governor Fergu-
son against Warren H. Brown. acting
probate judge Of Comanche county. These
charges win be investigated at the same
time the charges previously made are
looked into. Judge Hammers states in the
charges set forth in the allegations that
the Wichita Mining. Manufacturing and
Improvement company secured a townsite
where the present town Of Park City is
now located. That the said Improve
ment company located number of people
on the said townsite in conformity with
the regulations. That. Notwithstanding
this fact, Judge Warren II. Brown, act-
ing as the probate judge Of Comanche
county. appointed a townsite commission
consisting OF J. l. Hubbard, ". II.
Roach and ". H., Hincle who went to
The townsite Of Park City, which is stu
ated 80 miles south of LawtoG, and de-
stroyed the survey made by the Wichita
Mining, Manufacturing and Improvement
company, and obliterated the survey
made by this company, AID exacted from
each Of the owners of town lots dollar
for certificate of entry, and that
further sum was to be paid to Brown and
his townsite commission as the expense
OF getting a patent to the said lots from
the townsite board.
The petition further alleges that the
said townsite board appointed BY Brown
in some manner secured the services Of
a deputy sheriff and kept him stationed
in the town for the purpose Of arresting
settlers who refused TO pay the required
sum. and that those who refused to pay
and continued 10 reside upon the lots
were arrested by the said deputy sheriff
and taken to Lawton. where they We're
subjected to great inconvenience. The
petition alleges that the amount which
Brown and his commissioners would have
collected would be $4,000 That the or
dinarv expenses of the townsite would be
far less than this. THAT the said Brown
and his commissioners have received
from the sale of certificates the sum of
e coo an of which the petition asserts
has been collected fraudulently and con
erary to law.
The petition concludes by asking the
governor TO take steps at once to make
an investigation of the charges that have
been preferred.

NEW ORLEANS STRIKE
 IS AT LAST SETTLED
Street Car Men Give in to the Governors Umaum and Agree to Go Back to Work at 20 Gents an Hour-Great
 Rejoicing in the Crescent City,

just been organized and volunteered it's services.
 There is widespread rejoicing in the city over the settlement of the strike. It began Sunday morning two weeks ago and has been the most effective tie up ever attempted in this city. Not single passenger has been carried on a car since it began and no passenger car has gotten more than five blocks from a barn.
 This morning the people awoke to find in different parts of the city stuffed figures hanging to telephone and tele- graph poles with all sorts of inscriptions on them. Some representing the gov ernor. some the mayor and there were many representing officials of the rail- way company.
 The credit for settlement Is largely due to W. s. Parkerson who took up the cause of the strikers yestsrdav morning and labored indefatigably all night and all day convincing them ihet they could hope for nothing better and that they could not prevail against the militia massed here. United States Senator Foster, Governor Heard and Mayor Cap deville were all Instrumental in some degree in bringing aoout the final result.
