HOLLAND HAS
A CORRECTION

The Editor of The Chieftain.-Dear
Sir:I notice piece printed in your
paper giving the details of difficulty
which occurred between John Hol-
land and lot of toughs at John Lays,
a renter living on my farm five miles
south of Centralia. The statement
printed is not true and should be cor
rected. The statement made that
John Holland shot at the town mar
shall of this place is not true. Also
several other assertions made are not
correct.
4 simply write you believing it is
not treating John right to attempt to
prejudice the minds OF strangers
against him. From the best infor-
nation itwas simply drunken diff
ficulty; no one was seriously injured.
Respectfully, P. Fl. Holland.
Centralia, Oct. IL.

FOR PLAINTIFFS
Jury in GreathOuse Finally
Reached a Decision
This Noon

The case Of the G.. A. Martin Lum-
ber company Of Nowata against the
Greathouse estate was given to the
jury yesterday afternoon, but as yet
the jury has reached no agreement,
and the chances are that there will be
no agreement. A previous trial of
the case In Nowata resulted in a dis
agreement.
Yesterday afternoon the case Of @.
G. Barnes against the Frisco was dis
missed as per stipulation. On motion
Of the defendant the names OF J. A..
and Nancy Brown we're stricken from
the plaintiffs In the case Of ]. A..
Brown and others against the Frisco.
Judge Parker yesterday afternoon
approved the account of the marshal Is
Office for the quarter ending Septem-
ber 3d. The total expenditure for the
quarter was S12, 593.O2.
The case of S. G. Wills against
George Payne was then tried before a
jury, Mccullough & Probasco repre-
senting the plaintiff and Edgar Smith
the defendant. The jury brought in
a verdict of s257.45 for the defendant,
an amount which the jury concluded
was still due him as the result Of a
trade in horses between the two men.
This morning in the case Of RAN
dolph:Ballard against George w. May
and others the court sustained a mo-
tion of the defendant to make more
definite and certain the complaint,
and the plaintiff was given leave to
amend. J. S. Davenport and w. p.
Thompson are attorneys for the plain
tiff, Wilson s. Davis for the defend
ant.
In the case of the International
Bank g. Trust company against VIII
liam Farmer and others, recently de-
cided in the defendants favor, the
plaintiff was given five days IN which
to file motion for a new trial.
Today the attention Of the court
has been occupied most of the time by
the case of Mary J. Kuhn against T.
w Milan and others, which was tried
before a jury. The case is interest
ing, arising as it did over the giving
of note by a non-citizen for property
located at Chelsea outside the city
limits. The non-citizen refuses TO
pay the note, and suit is brought to
enforce its collection. II is claimed
that the property for which the note
was given was never given into the
possession of the would-be purchaser.
Edgar Smith represented the plaintiff
and A. Bond and w. II. KorRegay the
defendant.

ber of voices increased, and tlle hymns
gained in volume and enthusiasm.
Then Home, Sweet Home" was
sung, then the national anthem, then
more hymns. Laughter was heard in
the limited pauses. 1t bore no trace
Of levity, but OF the deepest cordiali-
ty. A few minutes later came the an
nouncement that the jury had reach
ed an agreement, and the judge was
hastily summoned.

So far it is impossible to say just
who will be the other speakers beside
the vice PRESIDENT Dennis Flynn of
Oklahoma City, however, has signi-
fed his intention Of being present,
and Mr.. Flynn is an excellent speaker,
one who appeals right to the hearts
of his hearers. Others will be here,

This has been a busy day for Vinita
and its many merchants. The streets
are jammed to capacity all on account
of the visit Of the great Forepaugh
and Sells brothers united shows. The
monster circus arrived early this
morning. Though it came soon after
day light an immense crowd was
on hand TO welcome the show people.
The one thousand masters Of system
and order have transformed acres Of
Vinita ground into city of tents;
with surprising alacrity, the circus
has been made ready for the
great crowds that will pass within its
doors this evening
One crowd Of enormous proportions
has attended the show. IL returned
with frank approval of the world Of
wonders, and many who had no in
tent Of going to the circus, have de-
cided to see the show this evening.
The great Forepaugh shows occupy
an unique niche in the show world
that Is, Shey present all that it ad-
vertised and even more. It's diversity
is an education to the youngsters
Animals from all parts OF this sphere
are with the show. Despite their
captivity they are happy.
They are fed on the best the
nation affords, and their grooms keep
every thing around the cages in ship
shape.
The most striking feature about the
huge circus Is its three herds Of mas.
sive elephants. These monsters Of
animal world are gentle despite their
size. The youngster was kept busy
today feeding peanuts to the big pets.
Three herds Of camels, some from
Egypt, some from Morocco, some from
Arabia, others from Turkey are
there, and they show that the ship Of
the desert in not mere feature Of
the story book.
Thirty monkeys, two cats, two
coons, two dogs, a goatsa pig and a.
fox make up the happy family with
the show. All these animals live in
one cage and live there In peace.
A three ton hippopotamus divides
honors as wonder with a fourteen
foot giraffe, the animal with the long
neck. This creature represents a
value Of one Thousand dollarsfor every
foot his head is from the ground.
Two troupes OF trained, seals, per-
formers in the big tent, are an in
tereting addition TO the ZOO. These
animals attract as much attention as
any creatures with the show, From
their homes in the debts Of the Paci-
fic ocean they have been brought,
trained, and now make the observer
marvel at their intelligence.
AS advertised on the bills tile great
free street parade was revelation.
A mile or more of cages passed throu
the main street at eleven o'clock. Six
bands made music for the crowds.
Many Of the cages were open, show
ing tigers, bears, lions, etc. Four
companies of fremen make the great
fire show in the big tent In the
giant canvas is erected a hotel scene.
This hotel is fired by an explosion.
Three hundred and eight people make
up the scene Of a panic stricken com
munity. The first alarm responds to
the alarm Of fire. They rescue the
women and children from third story
window They slide down life lines
at the rate Of a mile minute.
