GUN TOTER CAUGHT IN
THE ACT BY THE JUDGE


Chas. Fitchue, a negro is minus a
trusty gun which he "toted" to the
court house yesterday when he went
to call on Judge Dickerson. The ne
groe's wife is in Jail for insanity.
C-arley had just come in from Ce-
ment to see about taking his wife to
Texas, and it appears that in order
to drown his troubles he had quaffed
at the flowing bowl which the judge
soon detected.
After cross examining the witness
at some length, the judge said "Where
did you get your liquor" and the
negro promptly responded, "at Ce-
ment." "Bring any home with your
mo sab, nuttin cep what l have in
me" Then the judge had another
suspicion. What are you doing car
rying that gum" and Charley quickly
'fessed up and produced the weapon.
The deputy marshal took charge Of
the gun but the negro was released to
take charge of his insane wife.

Guthrie, May 31-Gov. Frank
Frantz returned last night from
Washington, D. c., wearing an over
coat and straw hat When seen by
a reporter this morning at his office
he talked freely about his trip but
added:
II think the constitutional question
is about the same as it was and the
trip to Washington has been Of no
material benefit to either party, only
the officials there now know no more
about the constitution than they did,
as the committee that was sent to
Washington by the constitutional con-
vention explained TO the officials there
why certain provisions we're inserted" :"
When asked whether he thought the
constitution would be adopted as It
now stands the governor had nothing
to say. He did say, however, that in
his opinion the whole question would
be appealed to the supreme court Of
the United States BY either one side
or the other and that statehood would
be delayed for some time. When
asked whether the sentiment at Wash

but the riot was subdued and peace
maintained by means Of the home boys.
At this time the expenses we're paid by
negotiating loan from an eastern COM
pany, which was paid by an appropria
ton from the legi stature converting inn
mediately after.
Despite the fact that the new militia
law provides that the guard shall have
erns and equipment the same as fur
nished the regular army, an inequality
has recently come TO light in the fact
that the former have. since the issu-
ance of rifles to the militia, received
the Krag, while the regulars have the
new Springfield model of 1903.
1t Is held by the war department that
it has no power to issue the new arms
to the militia without congressional &C
ton. The department recognizes the
importance of exchanging the old
new Springfields, and is very anxious
to do SO.
Not Able to Compete.
A law of congress provides for an
annual national rifle match where
teams of the regular army. navy, ma
rine corps and the national guard
compete with each other, and ii does
appear that action should promptly be
taken to put all branches of the service
on an equality as regards arms. With
the national guard using the old krags,
ii can be readily seen it cannot COM
pete on an equality with the regulars,
who use the new SpTingfields. The
second war with Great Britain, that
with Mexico and that with Spain
caught the government without well
organized militia, and the consequences
were the government was put at
s-~aat Disadvantage ir each instance
The young men of the country are now
displaying a most cOmmeEdable spirit
in entering heartily and earnestly INTO
the work of the national guard, and
nearly all of the state governments
are making liberal appropriations for
the better organization of the guard,
and II deserves to be placed in all re-
spects as to arms and equipments on
a equality with the regular force
