SHOT TIE FUGITIVE.
He Was Surrounded in Patch OF Tim
ber but Made Fight.

Shawnee, o. T.. NOV. 13.-Shortly after
noon, Tuesday, Marshal w. A. Keys, Of
Warwick, o. T, received word that an un-
known horse thief who had been oper-
ating III the neghborhoOd would pass
close TO that place on his way east, and
Immediately gave chase, accompanied by
a posse of four citizens, says the News.
About ) o'clock the fugitive was sur
rounded in a patch of timber, three miles
from Sparks and the officers were fast
closing in upon him when he emerged
from the underground and opened fire
upon them. After several minutes OF des-
perate fighting at close range, the fugi-
tive was seen to fall and when the posse
members reached him he was found to
have been shot through the bowels and
almost in a dying condition. None of the
officers were injured. although the firing
continued during several minutes, the
underbrush affording them protection.
The wounded man was brought to
Warwick and physicians pronounced his
wound fatal and his death is momenta-
rily expected.
There is considerable speculation as to
his identity but no one has been found
who knows who he is. He is a young
man. perhaps twenty-two years old, with
large grey eys, five feet ten inches tall
and weighs in the neighborhood of one
hundred and sixty pounds. He wore
white hat and blue overalls.
1t is hardly presumed that he is
member of an organized gang of despe-
raGoes, at least that he doesn't belong
to a gang which has been making that
vicinity its headquarters, as aside from
a few cases Of horse stealing, no hap
penings which would indicate the pres
ence of outlaws have been reported.
So far as local officers know, the wound
ed man does not answer the description
of any known desperate character, and
until the United States marshal's office
can be heard from it is not expected that
he will be identified.

BUT PLAYED BETTER BALL

Oklahoma City. o. T., Nov BIN one
OF the most hotly contested football games
ever played in Oklahoma the University
of Oklahoma went down to defeat before
the Texans by score OF eleven to five.
The game was clean one through
out. and with the exception of a few
bruises and broken fingers. no one was
seriously injured Both teams played
hard and fast BAH, but did some OF the
worst fumbling ever seen on the sridiron.
All during the first half Oklahoma kept
the bah in Texas territory in spite OF
their punting. Oklahoma always return
ing the same b. line plunges to within
% yards of the Texas goal.
Oklahoma lost the ball on tumble
TO Texas, and Jones grabbed it up and
made a quick run with clear field for
a touchdown.
In the second half Texas scored again.
but only on account of ''fuke" failed 10
kick score. Oklahoma then took the ball
and in five minutes more carried ii to the
2e-yard line, then kicked goal from field.
Texas men all acknowledge that the OK
lahoma team played the best ball, and
that they only won the game on account
Of fiukes. The game was witnessed by
a big crowd and both teams received
much praise for their playing, especially
the Oklahoma boys.

Oklahoma City Officials Have

ACQUITTALS ARE PROMPT

Guthrie, Q. T.. Nov. 1S.-Oklahoma City
is in the throes of a quasi-Lexowing, and
the past few days has seen the county
attorney, the ciyt attorney, the police
judge, one ex-police judge, and one ex-
chief of police brought under indict-
ments for alleged violation of the duties
OF their office.
Results, however. seem to be want
ing. Police Judge Stephenson. who was
charged with embezzlement, had his trial
Thursday, and the jury promptly brought
in verdict Of not guilty"
Next on the list came the case Of City
Attorney McGinnis, charged with willful
and corrupt misconduct in office. The
city attorney was called upon to an
swer to the charge of standing good for
fines, assessed against prisoners in police
court, and then not paying them. Judge
Burwell sustained a demurrer TO the ef-
feet that even if the city attorney did all
that was charged, the matter was not a
criminal offense unless conspiracy was
charged and proven.
AS cap to the climax, yesterday,
County Attorney Ralph Ramer was placed
under arrest on the charge of failing TO
prosecute gambling cases he knew to ex-
list in his jurisdiction. Numerous par
ties have made affidavit that the county
attorney was fully cognizant of gambling
houses being run in Oklahoma City, and
aver that he failed to do his duty in the
premises.
To sum up the whole matter it would
seem that there was some spite work be-
ing aired in the courts Of Oklahoma
