CON TEMPT
CHARGED
TO JONES
President of a Railroad Must
Answer Complaint.
REFUSED TO GIVE A REPLY
Case Is Connected with Perry'S
Bond Issue.

Guthrie, o. r, Aug. son the Sth OF
September in the Oklahoma supreme
court. c. C. Jones Of oklahoma City,
president Of the Oklahoma City and
western railroad, ex-mayor Of Oklahoma
City, former member Of the territorial
legislature and one of the promoters of
the Arkansas Valley and Western rail-
road, will have an opportunity to answer
the charge of contempt of court. Last
week Jones was committed to jail for
contempt of court by Probte Judge Har-
per because Of his refusal TO answer ques-
tions propounded TO him in court. Habeas
corpus action was brought by Jones s
attorneys, and Judge B. f. BurweH sit
ting as an associate justice of the su-
preme court. issued the writ making 1t
returnable On September s.
The history of the case is that the
city Of Perry voted bonds to the amount
of s25, 900 for water works purposes. The
city council voted that portion of the
money, s., 800 should be paid to the pro-
moters of the Arkansas Valley and West
ern road, IL the road was constructed
through Perry. This was agreed to by
the officials Of the road and a survey
and grade was made through Perry. Last
week S12,50O of the SO. 900 was deposited
10 the redit Of the read and it disap-
peared. no one knowing who got 1t but
members of the company. ones was
brought into court at Oklahoma City to
answer questions relative TO the money.
He refused to answer the questions, stat
ing that he considered it a private matter
and therefore not necessary for him 10
tell where the money was at that time
Probate Judge Harper Immediately com
mitted him to jail for contempt.
The action was brought against Jones
by Z. ]. Coyle of Perry. There is law
In oklahoma which states that in such
cases the informer is allowed one-half Of
the sum of money If the money is re-
covered There is also a law which
states that the money in enc fund may
be transferred to another at the discre-
ton Of the council. There IS question
whether or not. as the bonds were voted
for a specific purpose, the money can be
transferred to another fund
The case is attracting considerable in

Fleetwood was confined in the corri-
dor of the Jail, which is ceiled with steel.
Some time ago he borrowed a brace and
bit with which to fix his bed, and this
WAS accidentally left in the room. The

and with the brace and bit bored through
the boards and kicked them off. He then
crawled through into the middle room
of the sheriffs oce and secured two six
shooters, making his escape by way OF
the county attorneys Office and the back
window of the hall OF the court house
He then went down the back alley with
one gun in MS hand and the other in
his pocket, and across to Rocks livery
barn. where he secured horse and skip
ped Miss Inez Judd ran up from the
City hotel and gave the alarm, and before
the prisoner reached the sand hills Pearl
Hanover was in pursuit. Deputy Andy
McKew was playing ball when word

on the North Flats, where he exchanged
Rocks horse for one Of Mr.. Bosue's

and went on northeast. Mr.. Bogue join
ed in the chase and he and MeKew over
took and captured the fleeing prisoner at
Des SIarias place on Crooked creek,

TO MAKE GOLD.
]. Lark, Chemist, Claims to Have
Discovered Real Alchemy.

Mellin. Ore. Aug, S.-J, La Rix, chem
ist and metallurgist, has made silver
from gold and developed new metal
from slate from which he expects 20
produce gold. From his notes. which
were scanned by the government inspee-
tors, it seems that he has developed a
new metal from commercial slate. abun-
dant here, which has an affinity for the
atom of gold and silver, which he calls
.'Rixum" The theory he has been work
ing upon is the disintegration of the atom
into unitions to the silver atom.
The process consists Of a strong acid
solution, combined with powerful cleo
trio currents and long exposures to their
action. causing the destruction OF por-
ton Of the atom by electrical convey
ance into similar solution Of Rixun.
