ATTY. GOGGINS ELECTED

The resignation of Z. w. Ellis as
supervisor OF the Eighth ward was
handed to the council Tuesdayevening
and accepted. This resignation was
made necessary by the removal of Mr..
Ellis from the ward he represented.
1t was thought best, and the thought
was given free utterance, that the
Council ought to choose the best man it
was possible for them to get to repre-
sent the ward on the County Board.
Alderman Hill was requested to urge
Atty. B. r. Goggins to accept of this
election, and after conversing with
him for some time over the telephone,
Mr.. Goggings consented TO serve, and
was therefore unanimously elected to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
tion of Mr.. Ellis. The city needs
good men on the County Board, and
while it is generally conceded that
Mr.. Ellis was the fright man in the
right place" his removal from the
ward he represented made his resigna-
tion necessary. The council choose
wisely In the selection of Atty.
Goggins.

TO RAISE $52,2l9

The Mayor in his estimate furnished
to the Common Council last month
as to the amount of tax necessary to
be raised for the coming year, recon-
mended that the Board of Education
be allowed s25 900. This was SO, 900 more
than was allowed last year. At the
meeting Tuesday evening a communi-
cation was received from the Board of
Education asking that $4,000 be ap-
propriated for the school work, as
about $1,000 had been expended for
the repairs of the different buildings,
and Sl642 would be required for
kindergarten purposes. The council
thought.-thts. rather high, and
compromised the matter by allow
ing s27, 900 for this purpose. This is
$1,000 more than last year, and will
briDg the total tax levy up to $50, 30
the coming year.

beloved and esteemed sister,. Mary
Mulroy, and whereas while we bow i'm

for thirty days, and that we express
our deep sorrow to the afflicted family
in this their time of mourning, and be

peCtS.

Senator Wipperman arrived in this
city some time the latter portion of the
week for short visitswith his family.
Mr.. Wipperman is looking we'll and
is very enthusiastic over Oaklahoma
and the business outlook for the
Pioneer Oil & Mining Co., many of
the stockholders of which concern are
residents of this city.
When asked what the REPORTER
could say in reference to the work in
which the Senator has been engaged
outlook for the Pioneer Oil & Mining
Co. was never brighter than at the
present time. We have leases on
several good pieces of ground right in
the great oil and gas region. Perry,
a city of some 1000 souls and keenly
alert in business way, has granted
us a twenty year franchise for the fur
nishing of gas to the municipality,
and has posted a bonus of $3.50 to go
to the company as soon as oil or gas
in payinga quantities is struck; or
Mississippi lime stone is found; or the
we'll has been drilled to a depth of
200 feet. This city has expended for
labor alone over $1,000 in Just
making start, and it is the ma
chinery and site that the city has
been prospecting, that the Pioneer Oil
& Mining Co. has purchased. The
citizens of Perry have shown their
good will in the enterprise by. taking
over $500 worth of the stock. The
Pioneer Oil & Mining Co. is in excel
lent financial shape and holds leases
on over 1000 acresof the best oil and
gas lands in this locality"
The stockholders of this company
met in the Senator's Office Monday
evening and elected the following
directors: j. j. Looze, H. Wiper
man, DR.. d. A. Teller, George w.
Paulus, and 81. n. Voss. A meeting
of the directors was held Tuesday
afternoon in the same place and the
following officers were elected: Presi-
dent D. A. Teller, Vice President Geo.

CITY WANTS TO USE JAIL.
Provided County is Willing City,
Prisoners May Find Lodging
In County Jail.

Two petitions were presented to the
Common Council at its meeting Tues
day evening bearing on the erection of
the new fire engine house and police
station. The first petition prayed that
the present site of the engine house
and police station be not changed as
contemplated. The second one pre-
scented prayed that the new engine
house and police station be not
erected on the site already selected
and where excavations were in pro-
gress up to the time that the city was
stopped from work by the injunction
now pending in circuit court.
There seemed to be a great deal of
misunderstanding regarding the pre-
sent status on this question, and the
mayor stated that the work had been
stopped by legal proceedings, and
that nothing further could be done
until such time as the matter was dis
posed of by the court.
Chief Gibson then stated to the City
Fathers that the present quarters were
disgraceful and unsafe, to say moth
ing OF the unsanitary condition that
existed, and persuant to the re-
commentator of the mayor the COM
mittee on general business. was
instructed to see the proper county
some arrangement for the use of the
County Jail, until such time as the
erection of suitable place could be
effected. This committee will report

some disposition of the present legal

that time.

The case of John Miller VS.. The

occupied the attention of the court and
jury in the circuit court rooms at the
colrse hoGse.a all day Tuesday and
Wednesday. Tuesday the attorneys
for the defendent company moved
that the case.be thrown out of court on
the ground of insufficient evidence
but Judge Webb refused the motion
and the case went to the jury.
This was an action for PERSONAL in
juries sustained by the plaintiff while
in the employ of the defendant coma
pany. While in the performance of
his duties descending with an elevator
the lights were turned out at the usual
hour and the elevator was stuck be-
tween floors in the dark. The plain
tiff holds that he used his best iudg-
mentAto extricate himself from the
predicament and in so doing fell and
crippled himself for life. The Jury
found in favor of the plaintiff and
awarded him $1,000. He was re-
presented by Attorney d. d. Conway
