NEGRO WAS BAD MAN.
Tries to Escape From Sheriff's Office
at Enid.

Enid, o. T.. April 2S.-Last Saturday af-
ternoon w. c. Robertson, a colored man,
under arrest for contempt of court. at
tempted to escape from the sheriff's Of
fee. He was not handcuffed, and had not
been searched for weapons. Without
the sheriff, Robertson walked out of the
ofifce, in to the corridor, and out of the
building. Sheriff Kershaw followed with
drawn revolver and covered the negro be-
fore he had a chance to run. The latter
drew an ugly looking knife and made a
move as if to stab the sheriff. The Of
ficer had the drop on Robertson, how
ever, and il was probably the closest call
the negro ever had. The cool-headed Of
ficer was waiting as long as possible
and just as he had about concluded to
shoot viii Brennan of Kremlin inter-
fereu. The negro turned to curse him.
when Brennan, who has only one leg
smashed him over the head with his
crutch. The negro partly fell, and threw
down his knife. After being handcuffed
he was searched, and another knife. a
pair of iron knuckles. six-shooter and a
quantity of cartridges were found on
him.
Robertson is a bad man and only last
pitchfork. He lives in Union township,
and was brought in on an old execution
issued before Kershaw became sheriff

TRADING ON MONEY ORDER.
Gallagher Had Order for 500 and
Was Arrested

Guthrie, O. r. April 2S.-The Blackwell
News has the following:
A man giving his name as John F.
Gallagher has been around town claim
ing that he had no money. and that he
wanted to go to Harper. Kansas. Several
people have given him something to eat.
While he had no money he had on his
person a postoffice money order for s1O0
drawn in favor Of John f. Gallagher by
the postmaster at Paurs Valley on the
postmaster at Harper. Kansas. His con-
duct and the fact that he had this money
order. looked suspicious. Deputy Mar
shal Frost's attention was called to him
by Elmer Stephenson, so Mr.. Frost ar
rested him on the charge OF vagrancy
and locked him up until his case can be
investigated. He may be inocent. but his
actions do not Indicate It.
1t seems that Gallagher has been in
Tonkawa trying to dispose Of the same
order. Deputy Sheriff Charley Baker
has been after him. and Gallagher has
unconsciously put his head into the lion 5
mouth.

bar and was met by Mr.. Johnson. who
asked the robber not to play joke on
him. The robber retorted that the affair
was no joke on his part, and for him to
get out Of the way or he would kill him.
1t was then that Johnson saw the point
of the pistol-and refrained from further
interference.
BY this time the small man had covered
the eight or ten men who were sitting at
a table, but seemed very nervous. the re-
volver shaking perceptibly in his hand.
The tall robber then worked the mo

OLD FICTION EXPOSED.

Train.

Guthrie. Q. T., April 3--The old theory
that trar rps are never injured in wreck
has fallen short. A Mr.. Mercer. who was
riding without the formality OF ticket
between Woodward and Wynoka last
week received injuries in a wreck which
occurred on that division of the Santa
Fe last Wednesday, and though not IA
tally injured will no doubt long remem-
Der his narrow escape. As the local
freight train was approaching Waynoka
one of the loaded cars jumped the track
closely followed by six cars, including
the baggage car. Mercer was enjoying
the scenery from the bumpers of the car
and when it overturned was thrown high
in the air and into an adjoining field.
None of the other passengers of the COM
bination train were hurt, although the
cars left the track Traffic was delayed
for several hours as the result OF the
wreck. which is supposed to have been
caused by the spreading of the rails.

DISPUTE OVER STATE LINE.
Results in Joint Work of Kansas and
Oklahoma Surveyors.

Guthrie, o. T.. April 2s.-As a result
of disputes having arisen between owners
of farms on either side of the Kansas
Oklahoma boundary line in Grant county,
re-survey is now being made by James
Wharry, county surveyor of Grant coun-
ty, o. T, and T. b. Roberts, county sur
veyor of Sumner county. Kansas. The
officers anticipate no special trouble and
believe the trouble can be properly ad-
justed. Several months ago the school
land department wos notified that farmers
residing in Kansas along the line were
believed to be encroaching upon the
rights to lands owned by Oklahomans
in the several counties bordering on Kan
sas, and because of the numerous ap-
peals made to the office it is believed a
re-survey was ordered in Grant county.

AT The DOCTOR
Dining Room Girl at Guthrie
Causes Sensation.
JEALOUSY THE THEORY
For the Queer Actions of Miss
Della Hunter.

Guthrie. o. T., April 2s-Dr A B.
Mitchner, a local physician, was last
night severely burned by a quantity of
carbolic acid, thrown in his face by a
Miss Della Hunter a waitress in a local
hotel The doctor was accostsd by the
woman while on the street and invited
into hallway, where the deed was COM
mitted- The acid sunk deep into the skin
leaving prominent scars on his face and
throat. None OF the acid touched the
eyeballs nor mouth. he declares the cir
cumstance as entirely unprovokable,
while the woman declares she was JUS
titled in doing the deed. Jealousy is
thought TO have been the cause for the
deed. The injuries are not considered ser
ious, though the physician is still con-
fined to his room.
