That James S. Davenport Of this

now certain. His plurality will, when
all the returns are in, be about TOO or
500. The report came today that he
had carried Cherokee county, which
heretofore had been conceded to La

by Davenport are; Cherokee, Hughes,

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
OF WHOLE FAMILY

Miles, June lI-During the thunder
storm which passed over this district
last Sunday, the house occupied by a
family named Thornbro, on Ed. Halls
farm west of Big Cabin creek was
struck by lightning and considerable
damage done to the roof. The Sheet
ing next TO the comb of the roof be-
ing torn to shreds and some shingles
burned. The little house is only u K
IA with little shed kitchen attach
ed. In the house was seated Mr.. and
Mrs, Thornbro and eight children,
also another man who happened to be
there at the time all sitting around
the stove when the bolt of lightning
struck the house. Mr.. Thornbro said
he did not know what happened.
The house seemed full of sulphurous
smoke but he could not move for a
little while and his body seemed
numb, The whole family was COM
pletely paralized for a while. Mrs.
Thornbro and one little boy did not
get over the shock for a considerable
length of time, as they put it, but
when | visited the house today, 1
thought that they had not complete
ly recovered from their fright, they
seemed rather nervous and any person
to look at the house and see the dam
age TO the inside of the building and
see the crowd that were in there will
declare that it was the most remark
able escape imaginable. r.

courts have passed upon The iujunc-
tion cases then only upon call issued
by the governor.
Chief Justice Burford of the supreme
court of Oklahoma is quoted as hay-
ing informed the Republicans that
the election call is unnecessary, under
the wording of the election ordinance
and that they had enjoined an un-
necessary thing: that they should en-
join the election board from having
any ballots printed, or from sending
out ballots, or from receiving any
ballots, or from holding the election.
When the injunction case. comes be-
fore the supreme court today it is
understood that the attorneys for the
convention will ask the court to pass
upon all matters affecting the election
upon which an Injunction suit might
be based in future so that there will
be no further obstruction to the hold
ing Of the election, adopting the con-
and securing statehood.

| BIG SURPRISE
Washington Had Regarded New
York's Governor as Anti
Corporation.

Washington, June 12-The effect
which Governor Hughes veto of the
2-cent fare bill will have upon his po-
litical future is regarded as problemat-
ical by politicians here. While it
undoubtedly will not commend him as
a presidential candidate to the gener-
al public, it will strengthen him in
another direction. BY his action he
isexpected to regain strong corpora
tion support he lost when he put
through the public utilities bill.
Governor Hughes is the first gov
ernor to turn down legislation hostile
to the railroads since the administra-
tion inaugurated its railroad policy.
His refusal to cooperate with the leg
islauures of Illinois, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and other states, it is believed,
may handicap him should he decide to
become presidential candidate. The
governor has been regarded as presi-
Dental possibility since he compelled
the New York legislature to pass the
public utilities bin. His course re-
garding that legislation brought him
forward prominently as an antl-cor-
poration governor In view Of the
record he has made as New York's ex-
ecutiye his failure to approve the 2
cent bill comes as surprise to poll
ticians here.

ANOTHER SURPRISE
T. P. GORE TAKES LEAD FOR
UNITED STATES SENATE
HASKELL PROBABLY WINS
Cruce Men Still Claim Nomination
Garter County Expects to Re-
verse Plurality

Guthrie, 0. T. June 12-It is prac-
tically certain that G. N Haskell, Of
Muskogee, has received the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor in the
primaries by about 5000, Lee Cruce
does not concede his defeat, but has
stoppsd giving out figures.
A sensational feature Of the late re-
ports is that thirty counties officially
reported put It. P. Gore, OF Lawton,
in the lead over Colonel Roy Hoffman
of Chandler, for United States senator.
The figures are l7,4l5 for Gore and
l6,47I for Hoffman, Gore leading by
LOGS votes. This complicates the race
so it is impossible to predict the out
come on the West side senator until
more returns are In.
Thirty-one counties on governor
show a total of %, 767 for Haskell, 2z,.
372 for Cruce; Haskell's plurality, 397.
In these counties are found most Of
the Cruce strongholds except Carter,
while some OF Haskell's strongest
counties are yet to be reported Of
Totally.
Reports from new Greer county, the
seat of opposition to Haskell, show
less the 300 plurality for Cruce. Has

KANSAS CITY STOCK MARKET

Special to The Chieftain.
Kansas City Stock Yards, June 10
The supply of cattle in the quarantine
division here last week aggregated 3OC
car loads, the largest receipts of any
week this year. The market was
stronger at the middle of the week but
developed some weakness toward the
close, ending the week ten to twenty
cents lower on steers and about ten
lower on cows, supply of the latter be-
| ing small.
Packers still refuse to buy she stuff
except subject to post mortem inspec-
tion, but commission men stand firm
in their refusal to sell COWS and heifers
on these terms, and the country is
standing solid against the proposition.
Receipts in the quarantine division
today were 125 car loads, also another
record for single day this year. Mar
ket active and shade stronger than
at the close Of last week. The supply
ran more to grass steers today, having
that tendency naturally at this season
although embracing fed steers at 81. so
to $40 Late last week Kelly & Nor
ris had some HOO pound partly fed
cattle here from Comstock, Texas,
which sold at 81. 30, and sales of grass
steers today ranged from s4 to $3.50
Some 1910 pound 'wintered" steers
sold at 81 50 and $50 pound straight
grass Indian steers at 81 40 to $3.50.
Not many COWS were here today, sales
ranging from So TO s3. IS; bulls, So. so to
81; veal calves, 81 so to 81.
As packers are in sore need of me-
dium and light weight steers to substi-
tute for COWS and heifers, which they
are unable to secure, the market is
likely to hold up strong

TOM JOHNSON IS
BEATING BURTON
Indications are That The Congressman
Has Tackled Job That Is Too
Big For Hirn.

Washington, Sept. Washington
Is giving no end of attention to the
municipal battle royal in Cleveland. in
which Representative Theodore Il. Bur-
ton is trying TO defeat Tom l.. johnson
for mayor. This contest has drawn the
attention of politicians here from the
very outset, and will undoubtedly 10
so until its close, since national politics
of large Importance, at least to one
party and possibly to both, hangs upon
the results. The more the contest is
studied the stranger and less explain
able some phases of it appear.
Why Representative Burton was led
into this contest is something his best
friends say they cannot understand. II
is beyond question that many of his
warmest admirers advised him not to
go into II, but he disTegarded their adj
vice. 1t has been believed here from
the outset that Burton would have an
uphill fight to defeat johnson, and the
most recent advices on the situation
indicate this is true. In fact, the pros
poets for Buttons defeat at this stage
OF the campaign are such that political
friends of his from Cleveland who have
been in Washington this week say he
will be beaten, and the chances are de-
cidedly with Johnson.
Mr.. Burton, who never was mas.
ter hand at politice. appears to have
been used for the purpose Of pulling
out Of the fire the chestnuts of the
traction interests in Cleveland. This is
what friends OF his who advised him
TO keep out Of the mayoralty say.
