instantly

some years older and the step-son of old

the restaurant by the Santa Fe depot in

reputation. and during his residence in
Bartlesville was mixed up in several
shady transactions.

BOY PROTECTS MOTHER.
Strikes Man Who Insulted and Abused

Oklahoma City, O. t. March 1S.-Yes-
terd>y afternoon about o'clock H. c.
Schiling was struck over the head and
badly hurt by Donnelly Reid the 15-year-
old son of Mrs. Reid. who has been con-
Quoting a dancing school in the Hen
erickson hall. There are two stories as
to the circumstances Of the affair.
Those who witnessed the episode say
that Schilling saw the boy coming and
him and struck him over the head with a
club. which was a piece Of wood used rs
an ice cream packer. Just as he hit
Schinng. the boy cried:
IN show YOU how to push my mamma
downstairs" or words to that effect.
While the friends of NJ Schiling state
today that he did not see the boy until
after ne had been hit ny the boy.
The blow was a vicious one and cut a
deep cash in the mans head the wound
bleeding profusely. \ couple Of men
rushed to SchnIing and led him around
to DIR. Delos Walkers Office. where his
wound was dressed and the flesh sewed
together and the injured man taken TO
his home.
The affair caused much comment today
and every one who has heard anything
about the trouble think that the boy d:d
the proper thing.
Mr.. Schilling was resting easy this af-
ternoon and his injuries are not likely
to prove serious. The report that Don
nelly Reid was arrested was without foun-
dation and he was at school As usual
this morning.

Young Business Man Missing
Since the Fourth Inst.
ACCOUNTS ARE ALL RIGHT
No Reason Known Why He
Should Stay Away.
ARE ALL RIGHT

South AIcAlester, / T., March 1s.-The
friends Of A. NJ. Stewart, president of the
Consumers Coal company and one Of the
best known and best liked young men
of South McAlester, fear that he has been
foully dealth with, either in St. Louis or
Chicago. Mr.. Stewart left here March ,
for St Louis TO attend to some business
connected with his company. He had
closed some important contracts and was
going TO Chicago 10 discuss freight mat
ters with j. r Holden, traffic manager OF
the Rock Island system. He wrote his
wife from Ft. Scott March 3 and again
from St Louis the following day. The
latter letter was written at the union
station and he stated that he would leave
in thirty minutes for Chicago
Since that date nothing has been heard
from him. The silence for a few days
became strange as he has been very
methodical and punctual in all business
matters. When his plans were altered by
as much as twenty-four hours he invari-
ably notified his wife and his office.
Days went by without word from him
and his wife and brother and a few
friends who were told of the matter be
came greatly alarmed.
An investigation of Mr. Stewards bus
mess affairs showed everything to be alb
solutely correct. His business is in spler-
did shape and his books kept with his
accustomed accuracy and neatness. He
took but about $50 with him to pay the
expenses Of the trip.

QUARANTINE NOT LAW

Guthrie, 0. T., March B-The lnol-
cations are today that Governor Fergu-

ton. No action had been taken this
afternoon in the matter. The quaran-
tine bill has not yet been acted upon

one of the councillors, II. II. Cham

suit of his first and only trade during

Many Republicans urged the signing Of

OKLAHOMA
TOWNSHIP
ASSESSORS
Law Recently Enacted May
Cause Much Trouble.
HOW TO FIX IT RIGHT
Engages Attention of Attorney
General and the People.

Guthrie. o. T. March 1S-The new
law. creating the Office of township asses
! sor, recently enacted by the legislature,
/ is likely 10 create a general mix up
relative TO the assessment of taxable
property, which is now on. 1t has been
construed that the law becomes opera tive
at once. The law does not say when it
becomes effective. but the presumption is
that the law begins to operate immedi-
ately after its approval and signature
by the governor. The law stops the work
Of the original assessor. The work should

that IS the tine set by the old law The
only method under the new law that the

regardless of what might have been done
by the county assessors. This means an
additiona lexpense. It may bring on Iiti-
cation for county assessors displaced by
the new law. may bring action to recover
compensation for the unexpired term Of
Office.
1t has been discovered that two. and
possibly three sections of the bill were
omitted in the enrolled bill which was
signed by the governor. The PROPOSE
tion came up today that the governor,
president of the council and speaker Of
the house, should get together and mako
the necessary changes in the law. so that
it viii not conflict with the present as
sessment. There is absolutely no author
ity, for doing such thing and the taking
of such action means the establishment Of
a president which will cause plenty Of
trouble in the future.
A congressional act holds that the bin
cannot be tampered with at this time
While it may seem advisable to change
the bill. yet public opinion is against it,
even if extra work and expense is required
for the present year.
The opinions OF the attorney generals
Office are against the changing of the law.
Regardless of the fact that it may be
defective in some respects, it is a law
and cannot be changed any more than
any other law.
