CURIOSITY
DREW MANY
TO M0RGUE
Wanted to See Man Who
Said He Was Booth.
WILL HAS BEEN PROBATED
Reported That George Was
Well Known in South.

Enid. o. T.. Jan. 2.-"Owing to the vast
| crowds that have haunted the Enid
rnorgue TO look upon the remains of ID.
| E. George alias ]. Wilkes Booth through
curiosity" says the Wave. the under
taker in charge, Mr. Penniman. was COM
PEELED to declare the exhibition of the
body a closed incident so far as he was
| concerned. The body has not been bur-
! leu.
The last will and testament of d. f..
George was probated, but as the last act
of the deceased was revocation of said
will. it is not worth the paper it was
| written on. The evidence so far goes to
| show that the deceased was not possess
| ed of any legitimate estate outside of the
contents of his trunk, unless the claimed
| Knights of Pythias and New York Mu-
| tual life insurance proves to be good,
which is now doubted.
1.-THE estate of George. alias Booth,
| seemed to exist in his mind or ina gina
tion only, which was one of the great
characteristics of the ancient and mod
ern members of the Booth family. To-
morrow the Wave may be able to dis
close something startling. as a gentle
city tonight who writes that he knew
Booth TO be alive one year ago"
The Oklahoman says:
&C. NJ. Clark, of the senate. in con-
versation with a representative of this
paper this forenoon established beyond
any doubt that George was not Booth
and had nothing whatever to do with the
assassination of President Lincoln. Mr..
Clark said: 4 have been acquainted with
George since the days of his boyhood in
the state of Mississippi. His name was
David George and he was born in Mis-
sissippi in 1896. His father was at one
time a celebrated physician in Missis
sippi who was known from one end of
the state TO the other. His uncle was
Senator George of that state. Before
the civil war Bedford Forrest, general
of the Confederate cavalry. married
Georges sister. and during the war he
was a major on Generol Forests staff.
In 1858 he came south from Memphis and
was accompanied by my brother. who
was known Lucky Clark They were
in the recruiting service at that time and
stopped three days at our home in York
vile. Ala. After leaving Yorkville my
brother was killed at the battle of Shiloh.
Dave George had three duels about the
time OF the war and was wounded many
times. After the war he killed Ben
Thompson at San Antonio. Texas. in a
theater. because Thompson had killed a
bartender swho had been in the employ
of George. Thompson was noted Texas
character and it is said that he killed
twenty -nen. George was tried and ac-
quilted bu the killing preyed upon his
mind TO such an extent that he took TO
drink. He belonged to prominent fam
ily in the state of Mississippi. but drink
drove him to his death. He was fine
architect and built several first class
government buildings in Oklahoma. He
came TO Oklahoma City about two
months ago and told me at that time that
when he died he would leave me a por-
ton of his property

III TIE had been christened Peter Dan- I"l iels, but owing to the fact of his K ] having been born on the great day
 of national independence his con- sades early dubbed him Fourth-of-July Pete, and by that name he came to be known throughout the village.
 Whether there was some subtle connec. jon between his name and the character le developed must be left to the specula- lions of those versed in the mysteries of psychology. It is certain the villagers hever carried their logic so far. But true t is that Pete began to celebrate his indi- Eidual independence sooner than most boys and kept it up with a persistence worthy of a better purpose. His parents were among the founders of Mapleville and IS such held foremost place in the social life of the settlement. Had they been in rlined to boast of their lineage they might have done so without excuse. For both father and mother came of good old New England stock. But they were simple, lemely-mjnded people, content to toll to- ward 8 competence, and to serve the Lord according to the teachings of the Scrip lures.
 Had Fourth of July Pete been content to follow in the footsteps of his worthy parents he might have held front rank iR SHC <AS q yOath aC was q 6CAA- erai favorite and the gossips declared that he and Ellen Maybury, only daughter of the leading merchant of the town, were sure to make match. But Pete had no inclination to work, and little more for study. He spent whole days in the woods or on the river's bank. He was the best wing shot, the cleverest fisherman, and the surest guide in all that country road. He was the life of 'bees" and ''raisings," could play the fiddle with dash and spirit that would set the heels of the oldest going, but he did none of these things with any profit to himself. The game and fish taken ha gave away, and his services, with or with- out his fiddle, were as free as sunshine. He was soon known as "good -for-noth- ing" and society, which is much the same, be it in country village or metropolis. ostracised him; not because he was idle, but because he neglected to conform to custom.
 Peter Daniels was one person and Fourth of,July Pete was another in the eyes of Mrs.

 Tomorrow, July 4th, Independence day, will be celebrated here in the us- ual manner. In the morning base ball game will be played at the fair grounds and the small boys who are | fortunate enough to see the game, will, l if the custom of former years is ob- served, provide amusement for them selves and consternation for others by throwing firecrackers under the feet of the ball players. No attraction will be had in the afternoon and many will spend the day in other towns; also the excursion to New York and up the Hudson will take away large num- Der. In the morning a team of ball players will go to Thomaston where they will play two games.

Grundy Once man has become a vaga- bond there is nothing he may do that is not evil. However innocent may be his ln- tentions, his acts are sure to be condemned Pete drank liquor, too, great deal ot liquor. At such times he grew Respondent, morose, sullen. Once he. met Ellen May bury when his eyes were dull and his legs unsteady. He stood for moment as if waking from dream, then staggered into an alleyway and was not seen again in the village for whole year. During this time his father and mother died and the prop erty that might have come to him went to the church. This did not seem to trou- ble Pete in the least, He continued to sun himself on the river bank, to give away his catch and to spend what little money he earned at odd times at the ill-smelling bars of the town. ..ae- -
 But one thing Pete would not part with. About his neck hung small chamois skin bag which he guarded with the greatest care He had worn it since his sixteenth birthday. On that occasion Ellen May bury had presented him with a small silken flag "It is the most appropriate present, sha had said with light laugh: "gou are Fourth-ofJuly Pete, you know, and should have flag all of your own" Pete accept ed the token, stammered his thanks and hurried away. But the gift was precious in his eyes and he hung 1t about his neck to look at it often as the years went by and wonder what might have happened had he been strong enough to have kept sober and made himself worthy of her.
