Oklahoma City. Okla. Aug 22.- James F. Sharp. who says he is Adam and band of followers numbering about fifty, marched through the streets yesterday from their aban- doned camp outside the city.
 They are on their way to the Pa cific coast. Sharp led parade of half nude persons through the streets here about year ago. which result cd in one of the band being sent to an asylum. Sharp returned a few weeks ago and established a camp east of town. where many of his fol- lowers went without clothing, under the belief that they were in the Gar den of Eden.
 They were arrested time and time again and fined. Sharp says that it was a case of persecution and decid- ed to go to the coast. In the parade through the streets yesterday were many little children who had march, ed for eight miles without stopping and were hardly able to walk.
 Covered wagons contained a dozen or more babies brought up the rear of the parade.

MORE HOTEL TROUBLES
Attorney Walker For ". K. Lewis Put
 Attachment on tho Connecticut

There was a lively half hour at the Hotel Connecticut last evening, which may eventually result in dis closing the ownership of this hostel ry. It seems that some time ago friend of Frank Mclaughlin, the manager and alleged proprietor, is- sued note to help friend out. The note was for $500 and the loan 1t was security for was obtained from Weston K. Lewis.
 Last evening MT Lewis called around for his money. MT McLaugh- lin looked about for the friend who received the benefit from the note, but he seemed to have left the earth. This left 1t to MT Mclaughlin to make good or furnish a sufficiently good excuse for inability to do so. Neither was forthcoming and MT Lewis went off to get lawyer. He found Attorney Robert s. Walker in his office over the Citizens bank and had him issue an attachment on ev- erything in the hotel Constable Car mody was given the paper and off he went to the hotel. He met ob- stacles everywhere, but finally he levied on the liquor license and al- most choked customer as he was throwing down highball. Then the furniture and everything was at tached and of went MT Mclaughlin to seek counsel. He found Colonel Burpee at supper at The Elton, but he could give him no help then. A keeper was put In charge of the ho- tel, a. step most d!sagreeable to MT Mclaughlin, whose temper has been sorely tried of late by law suits of one kind and another. This morning, however, the prospect cleared some what. The keeper was discharged and the license was restored on the guarantee of Colonel Burpee that the matter would be adjusted as soon as possible. Meanwhile suit for the re- covery of the amount of the note has been made returnable to the superior court the first Tuesday in September.

Case of Dragging.

DR.. Horatio Perkins, the nedico-
legal expert, described at a medical
banquet the vicissitudes and excite
ments in the life of a young am
bulance surgeon, says the Mil
waukee Sentinel.
An ambulance surgeon of my
acquaintance" he said, had a
curious experience the other night
He was summoned to the police
station to examine an unconscious
prisoner. The prisoner, muddy and
dishevelled, lay on the floor of the
cell room. The physician bent over
and examined him, and then, said
i'll loud, stern voice:
" This mans condition is not
due to drink. He has been drug
ged.
"A policeman turned pale and
said in a timid, hesitating voice:
9 I'm afraid yer right, sir. 1
drugged him all the way FROM Car
ney's saloon, a matter of a hun
bred yards or more. "

If you talk poverty, think power
