Sunday night, the post office and
store at Tyrone, Oklahoma, was
robbed. Nearly FIVE hundred dol
lars in checks was secured, and
money to the amount of three hun
dred dollars, probably. H. L,
Huber, ting postmaster and store
keeper. says that the robbers blew
open the safe and made their escape
before they were discovered. There
is no particular clue to their where
aDouts, but the officers are making
a great stir. We learned yesterday
that a number of checks and notes
were recovered, having been found
in box near the railroad.-Liberal

The May installment of Miss
Tarbell's Standard Oil History in
McClure's is called "The Crisis
of 1873" 1t recounts the famous
series of Standard aggressions
in that year caused by the over
production of oil in the Bradford
field, which led to the popular up
rising that brought about invest
cations by the legislatures in
three states, and the suits again
st the Railroads, and eliminated
in the Indictment of Mr.. Rookie
Teller and his colleagues on the
charge of criminal conspiracy.
Miss Tarbell thoroughly reviews
the reasons given by the indie
pendents for their claim that
the Standard Oil Company was
virtually a reincarnation of the
notorious defunct South I'M
provement Company. The
next paper will relate the fate of
the conspiracy suits and the final
humiliation of the Oil Regions.

Miss Beulah Niles met with quite
a painful and serious accident one
day last week. She was hanging up
some clothes and in order to reach
the nails on which she wished to
hang them she was compelled to
jump. As she jumped ring which
was on her third finger caught over
the nail, holding her suspended by
the finger until the nail bent down
and the ring slipped off. The sud-
den jerk caused the ring to cut deep
into her finger which swelled SO
rapidly that the rings could not be
removed only by filing, which was
done al once. After the rings were
removed the finger was dressed and
is now fast healing, but it was very
sore and painful at frst.-Beavel
