The police are seeking identity of

and the weapon went through one of
the plate glass windows in the front of
the Mecca saloon, breaking large
hole in ,the glass, and entailing loss
of $50. Just when the trouble occur

ascertain, as the saloon had been clos
ed for the night, and the first knowl-
edge of the fight was had when the
broken window was noticed and the
billy" was found on the inside of the
saloon yesterday morning.
1t is not unlikely that holdup was
attempted, as none but thugs outside
of members of the police department

The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1904-02-08

This story brings to mind Of the writer his first know
edge of Bat Masterson and it is otted down.
Twenty-odd years ago Bat Masterson and Luke Short
ran opposition saloons and gambling houses at Dodge
City Kans As the custom in the west at that time
both decided to become candidates for city marshaas
that Office always went to the chief saloon keeper the
campaign had progressed very far until it became
evident that twas 'whole hog none-that the man
who lost had as well close up and that the gauge Of
battle.
But Short, when beaten, which was the result, 'ht
out" for Topeka, to enlist the aid of Gov. Click The
governor sent his adjutant general Tom Moonlight down
to look the field and his report being made Luke
Shorts chances for holding forth longer at Dodge City
disappeared The officer found that there little diff
ference in the contestants their allies and that Bat
was in he had as well not be disturbed Luke closed up
and 'leaked out"
He was regarded smoother gambler than Master
SON decidedly gentee appearance and those who saw
him about the Copeland hote a week u two while await
ing the governors decision would have nearer tax
ing him for divinity student than man with as much
courage as any bad man the borderbut with smaller
following than Bat Masterson
But prohibition finally reached even as far west as
Dodge City, with the termination of the cattle shipping
industry and Bat Masterson became next to the central
figures in all the prize fights of national Importance

President Roosevets sporting blood continues to cir
cuate freely Among his callers last week was bat
Masterson the well known sporting character and ref
cree in prize fights When Bat appeared atthe White
House several senators and representatives were in the
waiting room. Secretary Loeb took Bats card TO the
president, and the latter promptly said
ssLet Bat come right in l am anxious to see him.
The greeting between the president and BAT was
free from all ceremony. 1t was:
'Hello Bat
"Howdy Mr. President"
After exchanging few sentences the conversation =
turned on great ring which have taken place in
the last fifteen years One of the first questions asked
oBat' by the president was; 'How did Denver Ed
Smith manage to knock out Joe Goddard at New Or
leans in 1922"
sBat" explained that Smith was in better condition
than Goddard and when he delivered the final blow he
had on more steam than Goddard had shown.
Ring contests, COW punching in the west and kindred
topics were discussed for about ten minutes and in the
meantime distinguished statesmen were impatiently
waiting in the adjoining room wondering who was hold
ing the president.

RELATION OF CITIZENSHIP.

Vnta is suffering from an acute attack OF seiilshness
and it hindering the growth and the business pros
poets Of the city
For some weeks there has been bitter strife going on
with reference to the location ofa power house for he
waterworks plant
No one wants to be sacrificed Of course but how gan
cities be built without some sacrSice2
The voters Of this city have declared by practically
unanimous vote that system Of waterworks shall be
built and to that end $4,000 worth Of bonds have been
sold and are now registered against the city.
TIE only hitch is, where shall the power house be 10
cated-a matter that other cities would have settled
without friction
Not long ago the matter of location Of the site for the
government jail now in course OF construction was up
and it was deemed necessary to locate at such place
as rendered the residence property of some of our c
zens practically worthless but the jail located just
the same.
1t is notorious fact that some of the same men who
are now 50 strenuousy obectng the location of the
power house near their property the ones who were
chiefly instrumental in locating the Jail.
1t is purely different matter to whose OK is gored
All they seem to demand is that somebody else suffer
The power house must be located and somebody's prop
ertg must suffer.
Now. whose shall it be2
There is absolutely difference in the rights Of cti-
zens under the law all must be absolutely equal There
is however a difference in the weight OF obligations
resting upon different citizens Great wealth brings
corresponding increase of responsibility More tax is
exaeted of the man Of Large In other words he
owes more to the community.
The same rule viii apply as to intelligence. The man
Of brains is required to give more in the way of good
citizenship than the lunatc Were this principle set
aside the right Of eminent domain would be null Rail-
roads teegraphs telephones and thousand public en-
terprses would have stop building Cities could not
b BULL without invoking this fundamental principle Of
law
