FINDS cHARRED LETTERS.
Old Mail Robbery Recalled by This
Incident.

Shawnee. o. T.. June 12.-The Herald
says:
a find was made yesterday which re-
calls the train robbery which occurred
near this city several years ago in which
the robbers secured a considerable amount
of mail matter and got away.
Mr.. Calvin Arthur was walking in a
pasture when he noticed something like
a letter lying there and picked it up. \
pile of charred papers, most Of them parts
of letters, was discovered with many let
ters intact. Mr.. Arthur gathered up the
letters. checks. etc, and brought them
into Shawnee, turning them over to the
postoffice authorities.
The find contains a number Of valuable
checks. drafts. etc. and is Of especial in
terest and value in that it restores many
dollars in paper. as well as furnishes
some slight clues as to the perpetrators
of the robbery.
1t is apparent that the robbers. after
rifling the mail bag set fire 10 it and
covered it with dirt and it remained for
time TO unravel the mystery.

MASoNS WIN GAME.
Elks Team Is Defeated in a Close
Contest


From financial point of view the Ma
son-Elk ball game on Hess field yesterday
afternoon was a success. A large crowd
attended. but as not all those who sold
tickets have reported the amount cleared
is not known. AS the real object of the
game was to raise money for the food
sufferers, those who had control OF the
affair feel gratified that such a large
crowd attended.
In the game the players showed the
lack Of practice, each team having a bad
inning. But ar other times they played
like professionals. Many errors were
made, but there were also many sensa-
tional plays. Many of the players were
'has-beens'' who have played fine ball IN
their day. Both batteries did good work
and Atkins and Taylor won the game for
the Masons by their work
In the first inning the Masons started
in as though they had determined to Sc
cure pair of Elk horns to hang in their
hail. They did not stop until they had
scored three runs. But the Elks were
not to be taken into camp easily. They
made one in the second. another in the
third and four more in the fifth. making
the score 20 in their favor. In the
next two innings both sides went out in
one, two, three order. In the eighth the
Mascns tied the score. The Elks failed
to bring a man home in their part OF the
ninth. Then the Masons decided to win
that pair OF antlers. They picked out
big club and pounded in tally before an
out had been made. The final score was
Z TO g. The game was fun OF interest and
with the exception OF the bad inning for
each team 1t was a good article of the
national game.

MASS MEETING CALLED.
Board of Directors Let the Contract to
Outsiders.

Guthrie, O. r, June 12.-Mass meetings
have been called by citizens of Logan
county 10 protest against the action of
the board of directors for the Logan
county high school in letting a contract
for the erection of high school build
ing to Kansas City contractors. Plans
and specifications were submitted by
Oklahoma architects ard residents Of
Logan county are desirous of having
Oklahoma contractors do the work.
1t is stated that the oklahoma con-
tractors were not specific in their plans
and that, if a contract was let at all. the
Kansas City firm was the only one hav-
ing a legitimate offer
What the outcome of the matter will
be is problematical, but the board of di-
rectors is having an interesting time in
explaining why oklahoma persons did not
secure the contract for the erection Of
the building

them He said it was a shame that the
people here had so long submitted quietly
to this injustice and robbery. He had
gone before the interstate commerce com
mission TO fight for some of the things
that this section was entitled 10 and he
would now say that he could have made
a better fight il he had been backed by
the influence OF such meeting as this.
He believed the members of the inter
state commerce commission were In
clined to do justice TO Kansas If the mat
ter was brought properly before them.
Judge Ashbaugh spoke along the same
lines and was vigorously applsuded.

MAJ0RlTlES


Guthrie, o. T., June 12.-Democrats
over the territory are realizing more
strongly than ever that the contest insti-
tuted by VIM. Cross TO secure the seat in
congress now held by Delegate Bird S.
MCGUIRE viii result in naught tor Mr..
Cross. Even prominent Democrats are
making statements that there is no hope
for Cross.
Nose Anderson, chairman of the Dem
ocratic committee made statement this
week to the Enid Events, which inci-
Gates that Anderson has given up the
fight. The Events says:
Hon. w. NJ Anderson of this city,
chairman of the Democratic territorial
central committee, and the main sup
port and director of the campaign for
Hon. VIM. Cross, says that he has slight
hopes for the success of the contest
against the Hon B. S. Mcclure. I had
very little to do with the contest said
Mr.. Anderson, merely discharging my
duty and meeting the desires of many
Democrats. But my opinion is that re-
gardIess of the evidence submitted con-
gress will decide the contest on purely
political reasons. Were it a Democratic
congress we would have every reason to
expect success, but precedent is against
us. OF course I wouldn't want that pub
lished,' said Mr.. Anderson, as 1 do not
desire to reflect upon the dignity of con-
gress.'
Mr.. Anderson recognizes the ineyita-
bic, as does Mr.. Cross, for the willy Bill
has persistently attended to his own
business and paid little or no attention
TO the contest. The contest has been
pushed by few Oklahoma City gentle
men who desire to impede statehood for
Oklahoma. And their efforts have sim
ply uncovered a larger majority for Nc
