sounded and few minutes later the
hose cart was spinning down Main
street to the Central Lumber yards,
where 1t was discovered that the lime
house was ON fire. The building was
formerly used for storing and pack
ing hides, but of recent years has
been used by the company for stor-
ing their lime, cement and sash and
doors. There was in store at the
time of the fire, two cars OF cement
and one of lime, besides large stock
of sash and doors. The latter were
all saved, but the lime and cement
will be a total loss, as will also the
building. Mr.. Andrews estimates his
loss at $4,000 with insurance of about
$4,000. The fire is supposed to have
caught from spark from through
| freight. Pat O'Conner was the first
| to turn in the alarm, the fire ladies
were not long in getting two streams
playing on the building, but owing to
the low pressure at the time the fre
was discovered the flames made con-
siderable Roadway before they were
gotten under control This fire gave
an illustration of the necessity OF
having competent men in charge OF
the waterworks system, for owing to
the blunder of turning on too much
pressure without having full contro
at the pumping station, the water
main sprung leak at three different
points, one near the residence of }
M. Thompson, one at the First Ma

residence of D. S. Brown. Should ;

quainted with the real conditions and
thus be enabled to vote intelligently
either for or against the franchise.
When the roll was called 1t was found
that all were present. The ordinance
granting the franchise was read sec
ond and third time and declared car
ried by unani-lous vote. The on
ly change made was that instead of
the road occupying the center of the
street it is to be built on the south
side, thus obviating. the objections of
those opposed to the measure. The
next business was the appointment
of Judges and clerks for the bond
election to be held on July 30th at
which time the people will vote on

Broke the Record.
The ball game between Weiser and
Caldwell is now like circus day. a
thing of the past. For weeks past
the game last Sunday had been talked
of every player had been analized, all
his strong and weak points had been
thoroughly examined. Never has
game in this portion of the state been
SO thoroughly discussed, but the anal
ysis was all made on the basis that
each team would play their regular
nine. This feeling continued up to
within ten days or two weeks of the
time the game was to be pulled on.
Then the Weiserites got busy, OFFER
ing to give Caldwell odds in betting;
they even sent representatives to get
bets. These methods were continued
until the Caldwell boys decided to
take advantage of the situation and
SO strengthen their team until they
felt reasonably certain of winning
all the money which the Washing
ton County sports would put up.
After arriving at this decision coun-
Gil was held and e. HI. Hammond
was started for Butte and Dillon with
an unlimited bank account to draw
from, SO as to be prepared to get the
material necessary to relieve the Wei
serites of their surplus cash. The

he was prepared for college at the

Mr.. Johnson's business experience
has been wide and successful. He is
now engaged in the grain business
at Minco and he is also farmer and
stockman. He is a fine type Of the
class Of business men that are SO use

able to serve Grady county with

Both Sides were Active Early Looks
Like a Victory for Democracy

Seldom has a municipal election in
Chickasha attracted more interest
than the one in progress today. Be-
fore eight o'clock both sides were lin
ing up both battle and cabs and car
riage, decorated with flaming banners
were flying hither and thither to car
ry voters to the polls. Very soon the
workers began to gather about the
polls and the fight was on in dead
earnest.
1t has been good natured fight
for the most part, no bad blood being
aroused. AT noon the democrats were
confident of having the advantage by
large majorities in all the wards ex-
the fourth where the negro vote is
very heavy Large numbers Of ne
groes also voted in the first.
AT one o'clock the total vote BY
wards was First, $50; Second, 1870;
Third, 149; Fourth 181. It was
thought at the time that the republi-
cans would get out more votes dur
ing the afternoon.
According to the general indica-
tions, the democrats will win by about
the usual majority. The total vote
will probably be larger than usual.

Special Officer Johnson Fails to Make
his Charge Against them Stick

The "Pablo" cases which came up
before Commissioner Payne again
yesterday afternoon concluded with
the discharge of the defendants, Lam
drum and Cook and R. R. Wilson.

on complaint Of W. E. Johnson, the

ment who came TO town few weeks
ago and started in to put the dispens-
ers Of "Pablo" and other soft drinks
If like nature out Of business. AT
the first part of the trial last Fri
day Johnson's experts testified that
"Pablo" was about LIT per cent spi-
rit by weight and 2.20 per cent by
volume and that volume was the stan
dard recognized. At the hearing yes
terday Prof De Barr Of the univers-
ity at Norman testified that the bev-
erage was about 1870 per cent spirit
by weight and weight was III all cases
recognized as the standard by the
government. The courts have held
that less than two per cent spirit
would not constitute an intoxicating
beverage.
Other testiroy was also introduced
to show that "Pablo" was not intox-
icating.
In giving his decision Judge Payne
stated that he recognized the respon-
sibility that was placed upon him by
the case. q do not wish to put an
eobstacle in the way Of any depart
ment Of the government, but I do not
believe the evidence is sufficient for
