Oklahoma City, o. T., May 1s--chisf OF
Police limerick on Friday night received
a message from T. F. league. chief of
police at Hot Springs, Ark. reading:
Have you in custody Harry wasser,
foot racer? He is wanted here for grand

Wasser is the man arrested here Thurs

county authorities to awaI the arrival

it was said he was wanted on the charge
of being principal in the fake foot races
at Webb City, No. last fan. He was
arrested at the instigation of r. E. Hobbs
of FL Reno, who was feeced Of IS, 900 by
the Webb City gang of gakers. says the
Oklahoman.
Upon receipt of the telegram from Hot
Springs, Assistant Chief Dyer called upon
the county authorities only to learn that
Wasser had been released on bond of
500 for his appearance in court yester-
day. He also learned that Friday after
noon Wasser was seen to enter buggy
with an unknown woman and remark to a
friend that he was going out hunting.
This caused the officers to believe he
would make off and forfeit his bond.
Don the contrary, however, Wasser ap-
peared in the probate court at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning and after a hearing Of
his case was released. it having been as
certained that the charge against him in
Missouri had been dismissed
No sooner was Wasser released by the
county than he was rearrested by Officer
Dyer upon information from Hot Springs.
Wasser protested that he had done
nothing at Hot Springs to cause him to
be wanted there and pretended to believe
that the local police were jobbing him.
He was taken to police headquarters,
where he is being held awaiting the arri-
val of an officer from Hot Springs.
Deputy United States Marshal Jacobs
of Guthrie, arrived in the city yesterday
and called at police headquarters, where
he said he come to arrest Wasser on the
charge of opening United States mail,
preferred at Hot Springs, but when ad-
vised that Wasser was being held by the
police authorities at Hot Springs, he re-
Piled
THAT is all right; you have beat me
to him. but in case there is some hitch
Do not release the man, but turn him over
to me-"
Attorneys W. r. Taylor and W. c.
Reeves are looking after the interests of
the prisoner. but If there Is a United
States charge against him, it is reason
ably certain that he viii be taken back
to Arkansas for trial.

An Ideal Mother

Ile other day on a railroad train
saw an ideal mother. Until beheld
her and realized the fitness for that
divine vocation that expressed itself
IN every look, word and action | had
not realized how few women possess
the precious gift. 1t appeared to be
instructive and spontaneous, the out
growth of her own sweet thoughtful
ness and t. rness, rather than wis
dom acquired by long attendance On
mothers meetings or deep study of
psychology, She was young woman.
not exactly pretty but genuinely sweet
and it is needless to say her child
winning-usually the most spoiled
age, who, it was apparent, had a mind
of her own. The way that mother
led and directed the child's will
without crossing it, and the sweet
reasonableness with which she en-
forced obedience, completely charmed
the people who watched her. 1t ap-
peared to I" accomplished by the eX-
ercise of a divine tact that kept her
closely in sympathy but ever leading
the child and inspiring in the infant
mind respect as we'll as love. There
is so much of the "unconquered will"
about the average child and of the
helpless incompetent about the aver
age parent, that the sight of this
young mother with hey Madonna look
of keeping many things hid in her
heart, was very refreshing. 1t was
also a pleasure to observe that she
was the wife of farmer, a bronzed
yours fellow who shared with her the
attent1Hns of their young daughter.
Did he appreciate the treasure he pos
sessed? I doubt it. but his affection
was evident and perhaps twas as we'll.
More adoring devotion might have
destroyed the sweet I2canseiousness
that enfolded and set her apart from
the average modern woman.
