Hood telephoned police headquarters and
Policemen Robb and Burnett responded to
the Gull.
On arriving at point near the prem
ises the officers saw a light in the barn
thinking that the robbers might yet be
prowling around they went to the build
ing and flashed light inside the building
which was Immediately responded to WI =
a revolver shot which proved to be from
Mr. Hoods gun, he explaining later that
he thought it was the thieves who had
returned for more plunder and he was
much gratified that he had missed his
mark, which was the case and neither OF
the ofhcers was harmed.
Later in rounding UP that part of the
city in the hope of finding the robbers
the officers found a negro in the west
Choctaw railroad yards whom they ar
rested and who is now locked up in the
city jail.
A colored woman servant at the Hood
residence who returned from visit about
o'clock stated that she saw three men
standing in the street opposite the house
but she could not give a sufficient de-
scription of them by which they could be
identified. The theory of the officers is,
however, that these are the men who COM
mitted the two robberies and that at least
two of them have made their escape with
the stolen money and property.

Boyd vii be here in time to assist In go
ing over the papers and making the final
selection.
There are only three candidates for this
scholarship-Mr L. c. Gray. who is in
structor in the A. & NJ. College, of Still
water; Ralph FELTON,, of Winfield, Kan,
who is now residing at Ponca City, and
w. L. Kendall of Norman, who gradu-
ated from tie University with high hon.
ors last year.
The first two gentlemen are men of
high standing and good scholarship, while
the last named is one of the best all
around college boys in the territory. hav-
ing made very creditable records at the
University. both in his school work and
upon the athletic field. He also had the
honor of winning the territorial oratorical
for the university in 1900.
According to the provisions Of the will
of Mr.. Rhodes, the examination given and
the grades made in the same will not
wholly determine the winner, as 1t is
further provided that physical develop
ment and ability upon the athletic field
as we'll as general character and popular
standing are also to be considered in max
ing the selection. Under these conditions
1t is thought that Mr.. Kendall is the
strongest competitor. but the contest is
by no means an easy victory for any
one.
The examination will take about three
days, and it is not probable that the re-
suit will be announced before next week.

tESSEES ARE
NOT UNITED
Best Policy to Adopt Is Not
Settled Yet
TRUST TO PARTY EQUITY
Dewey County Lessee Thinks
Complaints Well Founded

Guthrie. o. T., April 14.-Since the meet
ing of the territorial Republican conven-
ton last week in this city, there has
been a good deal Of talk about the school
land question. The letter of Chas. S.
Lawrence in the Eagle caused comment
here for the reason that his position was
considered to be on the lines outlined by
Governor Ferguson in the Eagle some
time ago.
One thing that is being settled since
the convention is that the school land
lessees themselves are not nearly united
as to the best policy to adopt, and there
is evidently a majority of them who are
willing to trust the Republican party to
adopt some rule that will protect the in
terests of the territory and do justice to
the lesgees.
Z. R. krober, of Dewey county is one
of the school land Iessees. He was In
Guthrie today on business. and when a
representative of the Eagle asked him
what the lessees wanted he said:
They differ in their ideas, just the
same as other people. 1 have been in
this territory ever since long before the
opening of the territory to white settle
ment, and l am a renter. / have a sec
ton of school land rented, and then 1
have three sections of Indian land rented,
but for all that, 1 think l can see the
interests of the territory as we'll as my
own interests.
'In the first place, I think that We
school land lesses have not very much
grounds for complaint. We have been
used pretty fairly by the officials of the
territory I realize that those lands have
been given for school purposes, and they
ought to be kept for that purpose.
have noticed that Kansas had a large
amount of land donated by the general
government for school purposes. and they
had them appraised and sold on short
time Texas sold her school lands on
forty years time, and she got a good
deal more out of her lands than did
Kansas.
Now. when we come to dispose of our
school lands the interests Of the public
schools must be considered as we'll as
the interest of some other people. Land
IS the safest investment in this world, and
/ think If the school lands are sold they
ought to be sold on very long time, and
the purchaser be allowed to pay only the
interest each year. Then the school fund
would be still safely invested in the land.
This idea that the school land lessees
are all banded in a strong association for
the purpose of forcing the school lands TO
sale is error. OF course, there are
some organiza tons, but they do not in
sIude all the leSseeS by a pretty consider
able and even those who belong to the
organizations are not agreed as to the
best thing to be done"

WILL BE NO CONTEST.
New York Democrats Will Hold Har.
monious Contention.

Albany, N Y, April 14-It is understood
here that there will probably be no con-
test in the state Democratic convention
to be held here next Monday. The belief
is general that the controversies Of vari-
Gus kinds will be settled before the con-
vention meets and that not even in the
committee on resolutions or credentials
will there be a struggle for control. 1t
is also expected that there will be no
attempt to unseat the Hearst delegates.
The delegates at large will probably be
David B. Hill, of Albany; Edward Muir
ply. Jr, of Troy; James w. Ridgeway of
Brooklyn. and W. Bourke Cochran OF
New York. The selection of Congressman
Cochran is due, it is said. to Tammany
Leader Charles F. Mpurphy's desire that
in case of need Mr.. Cockran's long par
iiamentary experience and his oratorical
ability should be available on the floor.

COAL OIL INSPECTOR.
March Report Proves That Most of
the Oil Is Good

Guthrie. o. T.. April 14.-Coal Oil in
spector F. A. Ashton today made his re-
port for the month of March, which on
the face of it shows that there is not
very many attempts to sell inferior oil
in Oklahoma. There was not a gallon of
oil condemned in the territory during the
month.
During the month of March the inspec-
tor tested 232, ,0i5 gallons of oil and 119. .231
gallons of gasoline, making a total of
s5l.276 ballons, or 7,025 barrels. The fees
collected for inspection amounted to the
sum of S43.30 of which amount S1S5.S

JURY DID NOT
FIND VERDICT
Editor HensIey's Case Results
in a MiStriaI.
ACCUSED OF BO0DLlNG
Said to Have Received Hush
Money from Vicious.
ACCUSED OF Bo0OLlNG

Guthrie, o. T, April 1L-Dispatches re-
ceived here this afternoon from En- Reno
state that the case of the Territory VS..
Editor Hensley had returned and re-
ported that they were unable to agree,
the Jury being seven to five for convic-
tion
Hensley was indicted for receiving
bribes while mayor of FL Reno. The pros
ecution was conducted by Attorney Cen
eral Simons of this city. The following
is the account of the opening of the case
as reported in the Ell Reno Globe:
'At 11:5o this forenoon the regular
panel was exhausted in the work of Sc
curing a jury in the case of the |erri-
tory vs. Editor Hensley on the charge
of receiving bribe while mayor The
court decided that a special venire OF
fifteen jurors be drawn, returnable forth
with, and a recess was taken until
o'clock.
when court convened the jurors were
again directed to refrain from attendance
upon court until called for. The defense
filed a demurrer to the indictment, which
was ONeT-Tuicu L Uts tiicIi iiico q AAiNsAo'i
for q continuance on the same grounds
as before Judge Irwin and added that
Henry Schaeffer had sworn that he had
paid both Hensley and Cosby money,
and that Cosby would swear this was not
true The court stated that Cosby was
under indictment for a similar offense
and fugitive from justice and that he
could refuse to answer on the grounds
of self incrimination. The defense also
allaged that John Hudspeth had sworn
that Hensley had paid him money and
that he had testified before former
grand jury that he had not paid such
money and that Cosby had heard this
testimony and would so swear. The court
said if such was the case the defense
couid show it by the grand jurors, and
over-ruled the motion. The jurors were
then called in and the work of selecting
jury commenced
The evidence was presented and mis-
trial resulted.

MEASLES ARE PREVALENT.
Old People Are Attacked by the Dis
ease Near FL Reno.

FL Reno, o. T, April 14-Measles among
old folk are epidemic in that part OF the
country from Piedmont east and in the
adjoining county for quite a distance. and
in the past several weeks there have
been several deaths in the territory
named. The disease seems to be spread
ing and is attacking old folk in large
numbers, says the Globe. A reporter
visited Piedmont Sunday and while there
ascertained that the reason the baseball
team did rot visit FL Reno yesterday was
because four of the clubs members, two
Spechts, McGillivray and Honesecker,
had baen attacked by the disease the lat
ter part Of the week and are now con-
fined to their homes. The baseball boys
could not tell where they contracted the
disease. but believe it was while attend
ing a dancing party. The measles among
old folk first began to show IL the vicin-
ity of Deer Creek, in the county east,
about six weeks ago and have gradually
spread westward until they have reached
the town of Piedmont.

WILD GEESE IN CALIFORNIA.

Wild geese are still so abundant in Cali

ROBBERS WERE BOLD,
Piundered One Room While Family
Sat i'm Another

Shawnee, o. T. April 14.-Monday night
between 10 and IL o'clock robbers entered
the residence of F. f Hood on North
Kickapoo street and stole s. in money
and about s25 worth of valuable laces
frinkets, etc. from dresser and after
leaving there the brazen thieves went into
the yard Of the residence of J. c. Will1in-
son, general foreman in the machinery
department of the Choctaw shops. who
lives next door to Mr. Hood, and took
from the clothes line a lot of clothing
and made their escape with the booty.
At the time the robbers were ransack-
ing z. E. Hoods house he and his family
had not retired for the night, but were
in one Of the north rooms of the building
and only discovered that robbers had paid
them a visit when they went into the
south room and found it had been plum
dered.
AS soon as this discovery WAS made Mr.
