GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
!. Chaplin, a Newspaper Man Of
Champagne, ILL.,, Wonders at
our Natural Advantages.

Mr.. Chaplin, who is visiting friends
here is charmed with Vinita and
with all this country, its lands, and
its natural advantages, its climate aud
refreshing evening breezes. He says:
This is my first visit to Oklahoma.
Since the question of statehood has
been before congress and the matter
has been freely discussed all over the
country, Oklahoma has become a Pc
euliar center OF public interest. l
have visited in the east, including
New York City and in the west as far
as Denver and in the north, and so
this year came to Oklahoma to learn
more of the great southwest.
To one from the north l see cppor-
tunity with a big 80" standing at
your doors as it did at ours in rich
bid Illinois forty to fifty years ago,
when farm lands could be purchased
at $40 to $25 an acre, that now COM
mand a cash price of $l75 to 1925 per
acre and this based on the returns
NaFom it by intelligent farming.
/ am surprised to find so great and
varied natural resources-timber,
water, oil, gas, iron, coal, cement,
marble, zinc, lead, water power and
trunk lines of the leading railroads.
The people here in Vinita seem to
speak so much of the heat. | have
hot felt it more than In Illinois and
DC was said to be very warm there be-
Fore started from home. There al
kays seems to be delightful breeze
here and the evenings are nice and
cool. The altitude of Vinita is also
gooi, making healthy climate and
delightful place in which to live.
There are large settlements from
Dur county and Illinois in this new
country and the people there are
much interested in Oklahoma.

numbering Former Senator Arthur Brown
OF Utah. substantial progress was mad
today. After completing the jury, the case
was opened for the government by Assist
ant District Attorney Turner. and NUM-
ber of witnesses were introduced by the
prosecution. There were a dozen of these
witnesses, including the manager and a
number of employees Of the hotel where the
shooting occurred and several members OF
the police force. who were concerned in
Mrs Bradeys arrest. Indeed, when court
adjourned for the day the prosecution had
almost completed the direct presentation
OF its case. making It evident that that
portion of the proceedings would be COM
pleted early tomorrow
Much difficulty was experienced i'm COM
pleting the jury and twenty-seven or twen-
ty-eight men were examined before the
necessary number could be secured. A
large majority were excused on the plea
that they were opposed to the death pen
atty for women.
The crowd in attendance on the trial
was not so large as on yesterday nor was
the interest as marked. The testimony
covered the details OF the shooting and
Mrs. Bradley was visbly affected by some
portions Of it. She shuddered at the sight
of the pistol with which the shooting was
done and at one time was moved to tears.

GOULD MENTIONS COL. CODY
New Yorker Says His Wife and the
Colonel Were Friendly Re-
fore Marriage.

NEW YORK, Nov 1L-An affidavit
setting forth on it's formation and belief
that, prior to her marriage to him, Rather
Inc Clemmons relations with William F.
Cody (Buffalo BID were criminal and
meretriciouA was filed in the supreme
court today by Howard Gould. The affidRvit
declares that, Miss Clemmons told Mr..
Gould that her relations with Cody we're
purely OF a business nature but that he
has since learned that this was not true.
Through Katherine Mer OF London, Eng
land, Gould says he expects to show that
his wife confessed to Miss Mer the true
nature Of her relations with Cody.
The case came up before Justice O'Gor-
man today on the application OF Clarence
Shearn, counsel for Mrs. Gould, to have
vacated an order which Mr. Could recently
got from Justice Fitzgerald for the ex-
animation of Miss Mer a witness in
Mrs Gould's suit for separation.
Counsel Shearn argued that Mr.. Goulds
AFFIDAVIT does not describe the nature OF the
alleged relations between his wife and Cody
I'VE desire to have this order vacated" {"
continued Mr.. Shearn, 'for the reason
that IN an action such as this. where the
wife lived with the defendant for eight
years, and has brought action for support
that the plaintiff should be directly con-
statement that twelve years ago, prior 10
their marriage, the plaintiff had main
tanned meretricious relations with some
other man. Size should confront the Jury
ana be subjected 10 cross-examination."

Chinsman. yesterday, who had been
member OF her Sunday school class and
who had kidnapped her, she says
Mrs Reese and her mother were at
luncheon at their homie when Dean called.
While Mrs. Reese's mother was answering
the telephone, according TO Mrs. Reese.
Dean turned the conversation to the sub
ject OF opium and told her that the re-
ports that the Chinese were opium fends
was outrageously false. He said that the
Americans mistook for opium some little
crystals which the Chinese frequently took
as an appetizer. He offered Mrs. Reese
one OF the crystals At first she hesitated
but when she saw tho Chlnaman appar-
emily swallow one she did likewise. Mrs
Reese says she remembers but little OF
what happened after that.
It Is believed Dean wanted her 10 hold
her for ransom.
