Sheriff Jim Thompson.

Sheriff Jim Thompson and wife
of Caddo county were in the city
yesterday. He bears the dis
tinction of being the only sheriff
appointed to office in the new
country to be reelected by the
vote OF the people, certainly an
honor worth the having. He
was enroute to Arkansas for a
prisoner, the requisition for whom
was the first work of the new
county attorney at Anadarko,
Judge j. |. Matheny.-State
Capital.
