BENNY OWENS COMPLAINS.
Thinks the Sooners Didn't Have a
Square Deal in Topeka.

Norman. Okla, Dec. 5.-Key Wolf,
Oklahoma's big tackle, who will give
the rest of the Missouri valley men a
hard race for all star honors, has been
elected captain of the Sooner football
team for 1908. For three years Wolf
has played on the Oklahoma eleven.
Until he came to Norman from Davis,
his home. he had never witnessed a
game of football. Owens saw at once
his value and "Benny's'' training and
coaching has developed the big In
dian as one of the surest and fastest
tackles in the Miss ouri valley.
In the Oklahoma-W ashburn game
last Thursday Wolf was called back
of the line repeatedly to carry the ball
and never failed to make good gain.
Before leaving for his home yesterday
Owens said:
"I am highly satisfied with Okla
homa's showing against Coach
Weede's champions. In every res pect
except kicking Oklahoma's team was
superior. The two -touchdowns scored
by the Congregationalists were made
on penalties unjustly heaped upon the

had been given square deal We

ever organized. The cast of 100

initial success as the Sultan of Sulu.
The present production has had the
stage direction of Herbert Gresham

HOUSE CLEANING.

Every housewife has a 'house-
cleaning" at least once a year and
some of them twice a year. We
have taken the tip and are having
house cleaning and you will be
benefited by it just as we'll as we.
When we "houseclean" it means
that we are going to clean out all
the goods we have, from our Win
ter stock, at astonishing prices.
We do not ask you to buy and do
not seek even visit unless we can
prove that we have something that
will really attract you to Wood
ward & Murphy's. Everything in
winter goods goes cheap.

Cash FOR ADVERTISING.

Within a few days the Santa Fe
Will send out its cash advertising
contracts to more than one thous-
and papers along its lines. At this
time no exact figures as to the ex-
ira amount the Santa Fe will have
to pay out can be given, but it will
undoubtedly run up as high as
$4,000 per annum. This is in
addition to the large sums requir-
ed to carry out contracts in some
of the larger cities.
The country press is literally
represented on the list, and it is
believed after the new plan has
been given fair trial it will be
preferred to the former transporta-
tion arrangement.

DIED IN HER S5th YEAR.

Martha Best, mother of Thomas
]. and Mary Best, died on Wednes-
day morning, January g, 1907.
Her age was s. years, 6 months
and p days.
The funeral was held on Thurs
day at the home of Mary Best
where the deceased lived ever since
coming to America, conducted by
Revs. Moore and Ward.
Mrs. Best had been quite poorly
for more than a month and while
her death did not come as sur
prise it brought deep regret.
The maiden name of the deceas-
ed was Martha Carter. Her hus-
band, John Best, died in England
in 1897, after which she came to
America, making her home with
her son and daughter here, her on
ly living children. Two children
preceded her in death.
Mrs. Best united with the Meth
odist church in girlhood and has
ever lived an exemplary christian
life-a life that has been brilliant
with victories and one worthy of
studious emulation. While it is
natural that her final farewell to
earth should be mourned there
mingles with the tears of sorrow
the sweet consolation that the
world has prohted by her living in
it and that her removal is but a
TRANSPORTATION, having been on
earth her allotted time. The grave
awaits all mankind and if we all
shall be prepared to meet the last
hours of our earthly career as tri-
umphantly as has this grand old
lady, then surely has death been
robbed of its terrors.

DR.. GRIGSBY UNDER FIRE.

DR.. c. E. Grigsby, son of f. C.
Grigsby of Elm Mills township
this county, is having trouble in
his official business. DR.. Grigsby
has been prison physician at the
state penitentiary several years and
this is the first time he has been
under investigation.
The following news dispatch
sent out from Leavenworth ex-
plains the difficulty, and we hope
the pending investigation will
prove the charge untrue:
w. H. Haskell, warden of the
Kansas penitentiary, has suspend :
ed DR.. c. E. Grigsby, the prison
physician, pending an investiga
ton of a charge that DR.. Grigsby
cursed prisoner and struck him
IN the face. Statements in writing
have been submitted to Warden
Haskell and the board of directors
alleging that prisoner named
Ryan was brought from Phillips
county a few days ago and that
while IN the Office of the assistant
clerk waiting to be dressed in, the
prisoner became hysterical.
1t is said that the prisoner show
ed signs of being partly under the
influence Of liquor. The prisoner
talked in a loud voice and DR..
Grigsby, it is said, commanded him
to keep still in strong language
and then struck the prisoner twice
in the face. The prisoner was
handcuffed. He made no resist.
ance when other officers took him
inside the prison and put him
through the usual process of "break-
ing in new prisoner. The in
vestigation probably will be Feb
ruary 5th.
