OFFER BRLBE TO GET
TAYLOR RETURNED
FORMER GOVERNOR OF INDIANA
APPROACHED
Says He Was to Be Given $4,000 If
He Would Make It Possible to
Have Former kentuckian
Sent Back for Trial
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-A dispatch from
Indianapolis says Winfield T. Durbin,
governor of Indiana from 1901 to 1905,
made the sensational statement last night
that soon after his Inauguration as gov
ernor attempts were made to bride him
to turn over William A. Taylor. Ken
tucky's refugee governor, to the authori-
ties of the state for trial on the charge
of conspiracy to assassinate Governor
Goebel
The offer to former Governor Durbin,
according to his own statement, was $685.
900 in cash. Mr.. Durbin said that Taylor
had been advised of the attempted brib-
cry after 1t was made and was cogni-
zant of all that had transpired at the
meeting at which the 1893 900 was offered.
Former Governor Durbin said the first
efforts to bride him came in the shape of
invitations to meet certain gentlemen"
in Cincinnati ito discuss the connection
of Taylor with the Goebel murder. He
declined the invitation, saying that he
would give no consideration to the case
outside of his own office.
State Senator Binkley, since dead, was
then asked to come to Cincinnati. They
told him they were anxious to have Tay-
lor returned to Kentucky for trial, that
there then remained a total of S93, 900 of
the 100000 appropriation voted by the
Legislature All this, they said, would
be cheerfully paid to the Indiana execu-
tive if he would surrende Taylor to the
Kentucky authorities, or make it posi-
BILE for them to get him across the Ohio
river into that state. Binkley is said to
have left the room as soon as the propo-
sition was made, thereby indicating that
he would have nothing to do with it.

To the Citizens Of Chickasha and es-

note letter from Miss Mineola
johnson in the Express Of Friday and
as a member Of the school board, Il
think all such letters cas- this should
be noted and certainly not overlooked
BY the patrons Of the Chickasha High
School, and I wish to state that dur
ing the past year, l9O6-O7, Miss john
son received a salary for teaching Of
$50. per month. and, as the patrons
Of the High School well know, Prof.
Cowan, unfortunately for the schools
and for himself had a long spell Of
sickness and his absence created the
necessity Of some one to take his place.
The school board employed a gentle
man, whose name / will not mention,
and thereby created the office Of as-
sistant principal 0 fthe High School
Az $50. per month salary, this being
done only 70 meet the emergency of
Prof Cowan's illness. Later the
gentleman referred to was removed
from the position Of assistant prin-
epal and Miss johnson was honored
with this position and, Of course, re-
ceived $40 in addition to her salary
for the distinction Of being assistant
principal, which Office, you viii note,
was created in an emergency The
school board before the opening Of
the present term, at one Of their
meetings abolished this very disting-
uished position Of assistant princi-
pal, which paid $40 per month extra,
and which there IS not a citizen Of
Chickasha and especially a patron Of
the high school but what knows that
the Office Of assistant principal in this
school Is not a necessity; ia fact
should never have been created only
in q case of emergency such IA ex-
listed the past year.

first call was turned il about one
o'clock, the storage house i'll the rear
Of Brading g Co.'s grovery, corner Of

boys made a remarkably quick run
and although the building was filled
with hay and other light material that
burned fiercely, they succeeded after
a half hours hard work in extinguish-
ing the flames and saving the greater
part Of the contents Of the house. Be
sides the hay the contents Of the build
ing consisted Of shelled corn and 9TH
er kinds Of feed stuff. It is estimated
that the damage amounted to some
thing over 500 and no insurance.
AIT 2s45 a. m., three room cottage
at 9Th. and Dakota was discovered
abIaze. For some reason the people
occupied the house neglected to turn
il the alarm promptly and the fire
had gone too FAR To ~ checked. The
houes and All Its contents were total
loss.
The last trouble was at 407 Penn
at 3 o'clock Sunday morning, where
IA gasoline stove exploded, causing a
good deal Of excitement, but the dam
