SNAKE EATS YOUNG.

Procession.

Guthrie, o. tt, June 1.-The Stroud Mes
senger says: Ben Chambers, while culti-
waiting corn near Salt creek last Friday,
heard a peculiar purring noise some dis
tance from where he was plowing He
stopped his horses when he saw a lot of
young snakes moving swiftly towards the
queer noise. Ben then went to the spot.
and was somewhat surprised when he saw
an enormous open mouthed snake lying
near his feet. The reptile didn't rattle
until all its young had run down it's
throat He then cut the huge serpent's
head off with a sharp hoe. The timber
rattle snake was seven and a half feet
long, had fourteen rattles and a button.
Thirteen young snakes and a half cotton
tail were found inside the reptilian mon

4 jury was drawn but Oliver Petty, he
Of base ball fame, was excused because
he had not time to devote as a juryman,
ard he used good sense in getting out of
the suit but he spoiled his excuse by loaf
ing around the court room. After his
withdrawal the case went on with five
jurors. whom both the attorneys consid-
cred qualified to have gone into a grave

BAXTER MAY BE STUCK.
Auditor in Danger of Financia!
Loss

Guthrie. o. r, June 1T is now al
most certain that in the opinion being
prepared by Attorney General Roberts
at the request OF Auditor Baxter. upon
the question OF the payment OF the two
commissions TO locate the Southwestern
Normal school, will hold that the auditor
is personally liable for the money paid to
the Jenkins commission. which amounts
to something over $7OO Unless law cita-
tions are brought forth 10 da away with
the arguments of the attorney general In
the opinion now in state of preparation
he Will hold as above stated.
It Will be remembered that prior to the
time Governor Barnes ceased 10 be the
chief executive of oklahoma. he appoint
cd a commission of men, acting under
new law, TO locate a site for southwest
ern normal school. Soon after Governor
Jenkins was inducted into office he ap-
pointed a commission TO locate the school
The Barnes commission had never re-
signed and the time for appointing a new
commission had passed when Jenkins
named the men. The Jenkins commission
took a trip over the southwestern part of
the territory and selected a site for the
normal at Granite. Auditor Baxter Sc
cured an opinion from the attorneg gem
eral. who was then Judge J. c. Strang.
who held that the Jenkins commission
had the right 10 locate the school and
also that the auditor should honor war
rants for actual expenses incurred in Sc
lecting the site.
The Barnes commission, later on. Sc
lected Weatherford az the site for the
normal. When the members Of the COM
mission presented their claims for ex-
penses they were not honored by the au-
ditor. In addition to the opinion from
the attorney general the auditor had a
personal request from Governor Jenkins
that his commission should be paid and
that the other commission should be
turned down.
The normal case was taken TO the
courts and the supreme court finally held
that Weatherford should have the school
Granite gave up the fight. and ii IS now
UP 10 the auditor TO settle the matter OF
expense in locating The expenses Of the
members Of the Barnes commission
amount to something Ike 500, but this
amount has never bfen paid.
Just what the method Of procedure in
this case will be in order to secure pay
ment from the auditor is not known but
unless some point radically different from
those already found by the attorney gen.
eral turns up the auditor will be called
upon to make good the amount turned
over TO the jenkins commission

seen such a storm as that Of Saturday
night. The canyon. which is from a quar-
ter TO half mile in width was Il roaring
flood of water from two to fifteen feet
deep the entire width OF the canyon. The
rain seemed to fall in sheets about three
feet square. which twisted as they fell.
Dark as the night was. one might have
read a newspaper almost without stop
during the storm by the aid of the light
ming. so continuous was it. 1t seemed to
be playing on the waves. Yop could see
it leapine down the stream after every
shock. The whole earth was soaked and
huge trees firmly rooted in the ground
were wrenched and twisted. some down
and some turned around. Walnut logs
weSe carried down the stream and some
piles of walnut boards about six feet high
too heavy To float off in the depth of
water We're twisted around and some car
ried a little distance
The lightning struck Charley NaGden's
house five times. 1t tore great hole in
the floor, two windows and did other dam
age. The house is built under large tree
and a crooked limb reaches over the house
and right about the ridge pole it turns
almost perpendicular. This seemed to
draw the lightning Although Mr.. and
Mrs. Madden were in the house, neither
was injured, although Mrs. Madden
tainted from fright. And the house did
not take fire although some metal utensils
We're melted.
