Tooth" on account of a large gold tooth

Williams is an old whisky peddler and
has something like a dozen or fifteen in
dictments hanging over him for handling
the contraband goods. Most all Of the
deputies have had warrants for his arrest
at different times but none were ever able
to capture him until Deputy Brown cap
tured him at Tussy yesterday morning.
Deputy Brown and Posseman Pruitt
ran in on him at a house near Tussy
yesterday morning about daylight and
after awakening Williams he got up and
promised to surrender. Pruitt stood at
the north door while Brown was at the
south door, hallway running between
them.
Williams saw the two officers. and
noticing Brown with rifle. he concluded
to make his exit By the north way. and
made a break for liberty. PrU,tt began
firing his pistol. but not to hit. and VIII
liams kept on putting more distance be

shooting once at his iecs. he fred again
at his body, which had the desired effect
and the fleeing man stopped.

Of Oklahoma City Visits okeene, OF
Tcur

Okeene. o. T, May 1S.-The cordial
greeting extended The Oklahoma City
business men by the business men and
citizens Of Okeene, is an expression Of
that enterPrisins Spirit, which has i'm
PEELED in "a large degree the rapid devel-
opment Of Oklahoma.
The special train Of the Oklahoma City
chamber Of commerce arrived in Okeene
at about $50 May Is This organization
consists Of about ninety Of the principal
business men Of Oklahoma City, the pur
pose of whom axe u exchange with the
commercial clubs OF other towns and
cities such information as tend to pro-
mote trade and industry.
Among their number we recall the name
of Lee Van WukIe, mayor of Oklahoma
City; Seymour G. 1eyman. president and
John r. Rose. secretary Of the Oklahoma
Citv chamber of commerce and c. Porter
Johnson, cne Of oklahoma $ distinguished
orators The yworc badges OF varied col
c~s. on which were inscribed. The okla
homa City Chamber OF Commerce and
were headed by the chamber Of commerce
hand.
The ywere met on their arrival by a re-
ceotion committee Of the Okeen CONNER
cia1 club consisting of N. G Harper,
T. f. Cressler. J. c. Fisher and f. w.
Hoyt and Frank Lender. VINO wore
badges on which was marked the position
cf Ckeen with reference to other towns.
Also the Frisco and Rock Island rail-
road lines and the contemplated railway
line from Oklahoma City to Denver A
large congregation Of ladies and gentle
men appeared on the scene, and the band
Of Okeene played n response to the music
furnished by the band of the chamber
OF commerce.
The visitors were then furnished with
free breakfast by Okeeae's commercial
club. while sufficient number of vehicles
were secured to convey them about The
town.
1t is perhaps needless to add that as
point favorable for business. Okeene ap-
pealed to her visitors very much. The
surrounding country is broad eXpanse
of beautiful prairie. with a prospect for
wheat crop perhaps never excelled any
where. She may well be called the Queen
Of the Cimarron. extending her courtesies
