: FEW WORDS WITH MIR. ROBIN
SON

\ FEW WORDS WITH MIR. ROBIN
SON.
Detective Elmendorf was a man who
considered himself to be the simple
product OF chance. He was born In
Danbury, Conn, and at the age NJ
nlne years he was left an orphan and
penniless. Immediately after this mis-
fortune, as he did not like the people
with whOli he was expected to live.
he walked out OF town. There hap
pened to he high wind that day.
ond the boy walked with il, because
the contrary course would nave been
disagreeable
No one made any attempt to bring
him back, and so he trampeL fCI about
q week. eating nothing one day and
six good meals the next, according to
he varying charity OF the people along
the road. Finally an eccentric Old doc
tor In certain small town found tho
boy i'll on his doorstep one morning,
and that was great piece of luck for
young ElmendOrf He had a good
home in the Doctors house for eight
years, without care or labor: enjoyed
the advantages OF the excellent schools
of the village, and was nearly ready
to enter college when his beneiactor
died.
The doctor left good property, but
no will. Relatives swooped down like
q flock of birds. Elmendorf had not
been adopted. He had no legal status,
and one day he discovered that he had
nothing at all except a trunkful Of de-
cent raiment and the sum OF $3.50.
The coincidence that this was the ex-
act fare to New York decided Elmen-
DORIS course. He arrived in the me-
tropolis without u penny, hunted UP q
boarding house near the station, car
rled his trunk there on his shoulder
and then went out TO look for work.
He had many occupations In the
next five years, but none TO his liking.
Finally he became a clerk in small
hotel which was haunt of ward poll
tiCians. Yielding to the temptation
thus thrown into his way, he deveI-
oped into lieutenant OF the district
leader, learning more tricks than he
had the hardihood to play and prosper
ing the less because Of his scruples.
1t became delusion with him, how
ever, that he was one of the most dis
honest Of created beings; that he
would do anything for money, and that
only his hard luck prevented him from
selling his soul at good figure. Once
when his affairs were at low ebb his
patron suggested the police, and
Elmendorf became a member OF the
force in the firm belief that a corrupt
man like himself could make money
therein, But he had perverse way OF
being dissatisfied with temptation,
and he gained a reputation for hon
esty which his best friends deplOred.
II was pure chance, matter not wor-
thy of mention, which secured his
transfer to the stan OF the detective
bureau, He had no appetite for the
work, yet he must have possessed a
certain fitness for It. Perhaps the ad-
vantage of early mental training. add
cd 10 an unfailing memory and a per-
CeptiOn OF little things that vas due
to the German blood in him, helped to
,Uake real detective of him.

Guthrie, o. T., Aug. 20.-Territorial In
spector r. H. Hahn, working under the
direction of the Oklahoma live stock san
'itary commission, and DR.. Leslie j. Al
len, federal inspector for the bureau of
animal industry, To-Day began an inves-
tigation of the territory east of the
Santa Fe railroad in the counties OF No
bic, Logan, Oklahoma and the western
portion of Payne for the purpose of as
free from Texas fever infection. 1t will
be remembered that at a recent meeting
of the Oklahoma commission an inspec-
ton was ordered. The federal quarantine
lines divided the three counties, Noble,
Logan and Oklahoma, and the only man
ner in which the line can be changed is
by a rigid inspection and then an order
must be issued by the United States au-
thorities 1t is believed that the terri
tory embraced in the counties mentioned
is free from fever infection and if such
is the case a change will be made in the
line.
Delegate Bird S. Mcclure and others
have been working to have Pawnee and
Payne counties inspected to ascertain If
there are ticks, and if it should be found
that these counties are free from infec-
tion requests will be made to change the
quarantine laws there as well as in other
counties.
1t will take some time to make the in
vestigation. and cattlemen are anxious
to have the federal line changed.

SHOT IN CHURCH.
Killing, While Accidental, Was Result
of Quarrel

Ardmore, l. T., Aug 20.-A boy named
Roach, aged II years, the son of min
lister. was shot and killed in church
near Tishomingo, in full view of the
minister and congregation. His slayer
was his own brother John, IS years old.
The killing, while accidental, was the
direct result of a church quarrel. The
elder Roach, the minister. preached a
sermon Sunday night which he had
cause to believe would be very distaste-
full to his congregation. So apprehensive
was he of the effect of the discourse that
he feared for his own safety, and his
son John. sharing his fathers alarm,
went to the church armed.
Toward the close of the sermon the
congregation became excited and the dis
approval of the minister's remarks be-
came decidedly threatening. Finally a
movement was made toward the minis
ter. and the elder son. thinking an at
tempt was being made 10 mob him,
sprang over the seats to his fathers as
sistance Be he fell over the scat and
his pistol was discharged, the bullet
striking the young brother, who had
been occupying the same seat with HIM
The bullet lodged in the breast of the
young boy and his death followed in
few minutese.

across the street to the sidewalk in

arrival Gray was removed to the Chick

in its course through the leg severed an
artery, and Gray bled like stuck hog.
He fingered at the sanitarium until 1:3O
o'clock, when he died. Everything pos
sibe was done to save his life.
Gray came here several years ago from
Pilot Point, Texas. where he was raised
on a farm five miles south of that place.
He was a stepson Of Lou Cadell, and
during his residence in Texas was indus
trious and well thought of. Aside from
his nefarious business the people of
Chickasha had nothing against him, as
he was sociable, polite and well educated.
His mother. who now lives near Aubrey,
Texas, has been notified and will wire
instructions as TO the disposition of his
remains.
Madsen has been severely criticised for
the shooting. but it is thought he did no
more than his duty. He is generally re-
garded as a careful officer, though brave

Guthrie, Q. T., Aug 2o.-At meeting

from St. Louis. reported the work ON
the Oklahoma building in fun progress
with the foundation and basement com
plete and the first floor joists laid. spe-
ciaI arrangements have been made for
pushing the work and 1t IS expected the
building VIII be completed by November
list.
The matter of the space TO be occupied
by the territory in the Palace of Horti-
culture was discussed at some length
and owing to the increased cost of in
stiIlation and the expense Of preserving
fruits in fluids and in cold storage being
much greater than was at first estimated
it was decided 10 reduce the space of
1890 square feet.
Although the agricultural building COW
ers % acres Of ground applications are
already on file for space aggregating
more than 20 per cent greater than the
area Of the building and # viii be neces-
gary to cut down all applications. 1t is
likely that The Oklahoma space in this
building vii be cut down from 5o10 to
1900 square feet.

educational building to Oklahoma has
been approved
Commissioner Shuttee says that the
eyes Of everybody at the Exposition seem

expected that the territory win make
one Of the best exhibits on the ground
The COMMISSION will do everything posi-
bic to meet these expectations but they
must have the cooperation and assist
aace Of the people Of the territory in or
der to do So
Superintendent McNabb. of the horti-
cultural exhibit, met with the commits
sion and reported satisfactory progress
in the collection of fruit for the fruit
exhibit The showing Of Elberta peaches

sion with a cold storage company in
St Louis for the storing OF 800 bushels
Of winter apples and 100 bushels of late
pears. The commission win buy these
fruits in Quantities from growers who
have the finest fruits and will be glad
