Bows Were CAUGHT.

Guthrie, o. T., May 1.-THE boys who
broke into Mr.. Espys store Sunday night
were found about ten miles south of Cur
tbs at a bachelors house, where they had
made arrangements to stay all night
When found they. had $23. .45 of the money
that was taken from the store. Bert
Wright and the two Vanlandingham boys
are ones who did the pilfering, says the
Cestro Reporter. They made a complete
confession as soon as found. Arrange
ments have been made to send Bert and
the oldest Vanlandingham boy to a re-
formatory. The parents will make no
fight in their defence, as they believe a
: year or two of confinement will
| straighten the boys out
The youngest Vanlandingham boy is but
II, the oldest 16. while Bert is 14-mere
boys, but old enough to know better.

Governor Was Very Much Pleased
With Treatment Received.

Guthrie, o. T., May 11.-Governor Fer
guson is much incensed over the report
sent out of the territory that Oklahomans
are not pleased with the treatment re-
ceived at ST. Louis at the time the Ok
lahonla party was in that city participat-
ing in the exercises incident to the dedi-
cation Of the exposition buildings.
"As far as I am concerned personally, y
said the governor, 81 was much pleased
with the treatment received. Several
days before we left for st. Louis wrote
to the management there, stating that
we would use carriages in reaching the
exposition grounds from the city. 1t was
then arranged so that all governors and
their stats should ride in carriages. The
adjutant general afterwards wrote to st.
Louis saying that we would use horses
and ride in the parade. This. however.
was called of and the Oklahoma officials
were satisfied with the arrangement TO
be a part of the presidents party on the
"trip to the exposition grounds.
'sThe militia men were given the place
they occupied in the parade because Of
the fact that they could see the parade
and then fall in line without going into
the heart of the city to form with other
companies of militia. The band under

the time came the men swung into line
after having seen every company pass
by. which in itself was a sight unusual
TO the average Oklahoman.

BR0DIE WAS
DROWNED IN
WATER PAIL
Familiar Character of South
Town Is Dead
DIES ALONE IN SHACK
Owned Several Houses and
Considerable Money

Oklahoma City, o. T.. May 1.-THE Ok
lahoman says: Nick Balm and a fellow
workman, when they called at little
shed or barn in the rear Of 614 West
Chickasaw street yesterday afternoon
were Mortified to find man on the floor
in a stopping or kneeling position with
his face immersed in a bucket of water
and apparently dead.
The man was identified as a familiar
character in South Town known as I'm
Gle Tommy Brodie.
Balm and his companion had called to
consult Brodie about some work he de-
sired them to do on q dwelling nearby.
They called to him several times, and,
coming to the conclusion that he was
dead without entering the place they
Immediately went to a nearby grocery
store and telephened Information of their
discovery to police headquarters.
The police came to the place and found
in fact that Brodie was dead and had the
body removed to the Eorgue Of the
Standard Furniture company on North
Broadway.
In the absence OF Coroner Messenbaugh
from the city, Justice G. w. Stephenson
was called upon to perform the duties
of that office and summoned a jury to
hold an inquest at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning.
The jury selected was composed Of Tom
Ozmun, w. E. Kelley, Cyrus Balm, Jacob
Sloans, T. B. Roberts and J. w. Bouse-
The remains were viewed by the jury,
after which an inquest was held in the
undertaking rooms, persided over by
Judge Stephenson.
Nick Balm was the principal witness.
He told of starting out yesterday morn
ing to build a brick fiue and of calling
at the shed where Brodie resided. The
witness and his companion found the rear
door of the shed locked and could not
arouse the inmate. Proceeding around to
the front of the shack, which was open.
they looked inside and saw Brodie on the
floor, near his bed, in a kneeling pos
ture, with his face immersed in a bucket
of water.
Further testimony adduced developed
the fact that when Brodie's body was
picked up his mouth was found to be full
of water, and near the bed were two
cans filled with blood and everything
indicated that he had been attacked with
hemorrhage of the lungs, and, getting UP
| from his bed in a weakened condition,
| he had leaned over the bucket, and, be-
! coming unconscious, his head had dropped
! forward and strangulation resulted.
| The coroner's jury rendered verdict
| that deceased came to his death from
hemorrhage Of the lungs and strangula-
| ton.
Brodie, at the time of his death, had
| on his person $26.75, and he is said to
have been worth between 5000 and 4,00t
| at the time OF his death. So far as car
| be learned, he had no relatives living.

Mr.. Mcconnell is busy today in straigh-

You can just say for me in the Eagle, "
said Mr. Mcconnell. that Oklahoma
made a great showing at the dedication
exercises and believe every Oklahoman
had fine time. I was especially proud
of the band and many persons came to
me saying nice things about the Okla

else at the laying OF the cornerstone OF
the Oklahoma building were as good and
possibly better than at similar exercises
