When Baby Was Found on Doorstep
Family Was Stirred Up.

Oklahoma City. May 2S.-Mr. William
Vance says that the finding OF the baby
on his porch. an account of which was
printed couple of days ago, created con-
siderably more excitement in his house
hold than the advent of any of his own
children.
The daughter, Miss Nora, was the first
TO learn of the presence Of the child. be-
ing awakened by its cries. Mr. Vance
gets a good deal Of fun out OF telling Of
the excitement when the discovery was
made. Miss Nora came bounding across
the hall to his room. crying: PA. get up
quick; a woman IS down stairs with
little baby" She had scarcely finished
telling her story when Mrs. Vance was
out Of bed and. grabbing the lamp. turned
II up and went hurrying down stairs. In

began 10 call: why don't YOU come
down? Somebody hagTe6t baby here.

HELD MEETING AT GUTHRIE.
Board of Education for Normal Schools
to elect Faculties.

Guthrie, o. T., May 23.-The board Of
education for normal schools after hav-
ing visited the normal schools held a
meeting here yesterday to select facul-
ties for the various institutions. Cover
nor T. 3. Ferguson met with the board
this afternoon and it is probable that the
work will not be concluded until tomor-
row.
1t was deemed advisable to visit the
institutions in order to ascertain just
what the needs are and each member of
the board felt that by making a close
inspection, better work can be done by
them in selecting faculties.
I'VE We're exceedingly well satisfied
with what we saw on our trip" said a
member of the board, and when the
work for the year is closed up we will
feel that we have done our duty.
The Alva normal is in a fiourishing
condition, as is the Edmond normal.
Work on the Southwestern normal at
Weatherford is progressing as well as
can be expected. By next fall Weather
ford viii have a splendid building and
the indications are good for a large at
tendance on the first year.

MAY BRING SUIT.
Mayor Linden of Enid May Sue Sells
Forepaugh Show for $4,000.


Enid, Q. T., May 23.-Mayor John B.
Linden, of this city, is contemplating
bringing action against Peter Sells, the
Snowman. for $4,000 damages, and it is
probable that complaint viii be filed
against him before United States officials
for a violation of the postal laws.
United States District Attorney Horace
Speed has been consulted about the mat
ter and has seen the letter written by
Sells TO Mayor Linden
When the -ForepauSh combination
reached Enid the management was in
formed that it required 500 for a street
license. This amount of money the man
agement refused to pay, desiring to Sc
cure a license for $50 A compromise was
finally made and SIS turned into the city
treasury. When Sells reached Wichita he
wrote Linden the letter which may bring
trouble to him, saying among other
things that Linden had telegraphed ahead
stating that the show employees had small
pox. Sells then proceeded to viliify Lin
den. calling him a cur" sneak" and
other epithets which combined have
caused the friends Of Mayor Linden to
insist that he take some action.
Lawyers who have been looking up
the situation claim thgt Mayor Linden
has 4 good cause for action against Peter
Sells and that he can also De prosecuted
under the United States postal laws.

at the same time raising his hand where
the sting seemed to be. and hastily re-
turned to the house Blood was streaming
down his arm He washed the wound
and the pain soon disappeared, after
which he reported the fact TO the mar
shall, says the Ripley Times.
Mr. Mcknight lives close to the Broyles
pasture and it was his opinion that some
hunters carryin ga twenty-five. shot wide
of the mark and the ball hit him acct
dentally, although he heard no report
OF gun
He is sure that ii was an accident and
that the hunters are keeping mighty shy.
He does not think any one should want
to assassinate him in broad daylight
The affair caused some little excitemnt
in the neighborhood and Marshal Wealth
ers is now hunting the fellow who fired
the stray shot.
A later story is to the effect that Mr..
Mcknight received the wound on his
head from the bill of an angry mother
cat-bird at the loss of her dear little
ones. Some neighbors say that George
robbed a cat-birds nest in his yard and
was carrying the little birds into the
house After entering the room it became
necessary for him to lean over, evidently
TO show the little birds TO his children.
While in this position his hat fell from
his head. The old mother bird. who had
followed him, quick as flash, embrac-
ed a fine opportunity to get even, pounced
her bill rapidly five or six times into his
scalp, bringing the blood, and then safely
made her getaway.
Whichever way the tales goes, George
has the wound to prove one or the other
of the stories, and until he makes an
open confession, the case is surrounded

Guthrie, o. T., May 23-Dr. E. z.
Beemblossom Of Oklahoma City. former
secretary of the Oklahoma livestock COM
mission today made settlement with the
commission, giving his personal check
for $274.44 Owing to the fact that some

som was secretary, there was some dis
pute over the amount due the Office.
Yesterday and a portion of today were
spent by Secretary Thomas Morris and
Assistant Attorney General Woods, to-
gether with DR.. Beemblossom in looking
over the records Of the Office and a salts
factory settlement was made in every
case.
This closes up the matter as far as DR..
Z. e. Beemblossom is concerned and no
blame can be attached to anyone relative
to the affairs of the Office during the
former administration.
