Guthrie. Okla, Nov. 16.-The adj
mission of Oklahoma to statehood to-
day was marked by jubilation through
out the two territories, by the install
latiOn of Governor Charles n. Haskell.
and by a parade and barbecue in
Guthrie.
Governor HaskelIs address was We
hement. He denounced the combi-
nations that have fattened by unrc-
str1cted robbery Of our people, de-
clared in favor of prison sentences for
offending corporation officers, and an
nounced that the liquor prohibition
law would be rigidly enforced.
The Governors first official act was
to order the county attorney at
Bartletsville to take steps to prevent
the Standard Oil Company from com
pleting a natural gas pipe line across
the border to Kansas, 1t being the
policy of Oklahoma to prevent the ex-
portation of gas.

night.

THEIR LAST SUNDAY.


John Hodges, who is in Jail
awaiting the execution of the
death sentence of the court, is
making his final preparations for
the hanging next Friday, Feb. 8.
Religious exercises were held in
the Jail last Sunday Afternoon by
Rev. E. M. Hoyle, and the prison.
ers gave him close attention, es-
pecially the two in there that are
awaiting the day of execution
on the gallows-John Hodges
and the negro, Freeman Jones.
Hodges expresses himself as
being tired of the delay, and
wants the day of execution 20
arrive, that all may end. He
hopes all his enemies have for
given him, and says that he has
forgiven anything that he held
against anyone. Hodges eX-
pressed the desire that all his
children and relatives attend
services next Sunday the last
he will spend on earth-in the
Jail and bid him a last farewell,
and that he may talk with them.
Also he requested the preacher
to come again and bring those
with him to assist in the service.
Freeman Jones does not talk
much. He expressed himself as
being ready for the end, and acts
in listless kind of way as if he
sees something afar off.
The rope with which the con-
demned men will be hung has
been sent here from Raleigh; the
last time it was used was when
the negro, Henry Walker, of
Alamance, was hanged for
burglarizing the house of Colonel
Holt and attempting to kill him.

AN UNUSUAL WAY OF DEATH.
Mrs. ]. 7. Johnson Strangled With Her
False Teeth.

Quite an unusual occurrence
was witnessed by the attending
physician and nurse at the Watts
Hospital last Monday afternoon,
when Mrs. J. T. Johnson, who
was just recovering from the
effects of an operation, was
strangled to death by swallowing
her false teeth, while a physi-
clan and nurse were standing by
powerless to do anything for her
relief.
Monday about noon DR.. Joe
Graham, her physician was with
her and she was cheerful and in
good spirits, as he told her that
soon she would be able to go to
her home. Leaving her the doc
tor went into some other wards,
but was called back by the nurse
and when he arrived saw that
his patient showed indications of
strangulation, and began at once
to see if he could not relieve her.
He finally succeeded in removing
the set of false teeth that in some
way had gone down her throat.
Not however. until it was too late
to be of any good to the patient.
Restoratives were administered,
but with no effect. It was found
when the plate was removed
from her mouth that it was a
very small plate, and in going
down her throat had turned flat
wise and completely covered the
windpipe, which caused death as
quickly as it can be produced by
strangulation.

DEADLY AIR RIFLE.
Boy Shoots His Cousin Accidentally
Both Boys Under s Years Of Ace.

B0In BOYS Undef 3 fedfS OF Age.
There was a distressing acci-
dent some six miles south of the
city Monday afternoon when a
rife ball was fired through the
brain of Master Allen Barbee,
eight year old son of Mrs. Annie
Barbee, by his first cousin, Mas
ter Marvin Barbee. son of George
Barbee. The fatal affair was an
accident pure and simple.
From the particulars that were
learned here it seems that Allie
Barbee was at the home of his
uncle, George Barbee, and he was
playing with his cousin, Marvin.
While in play Marvin secured a
small twenty-five calibre rifle
that was in the house. The gun
was out of his reach and he man.
aged to get it by getting on top
of a dresser. The two children
then began playing with the in
strument of death and in a few
moments its mission was carried
into execution. ~
As soon as possible after the
shooting a physician was secured,
who did all he could to save the
life of the unconscious boy, finally
having him brought to the
Watts hospital here. At the hos
pital there was an operation. this
being for the purpose of saving
the life of the child if possible to
do so. The skull was opened
and the blood clots poured from
the brain. After this the ar
teries were tied up, and the hem
orrhage controlled.
1t was found that the ball
went in the right temple, passed
directly through the skull bone,
then passed through the brain
and went in the direction of the
base of the skull, where it was
impossible to even try to follow
the ball or remove it.
When the shooting occurred
George Barbee. father of the
boy who had the gun when the
fatal shot was fired, was in the
city. The almost crazed mother
of the boy who did the shooting
and aunt of the boy shot hurried
a colored man towards town to a
kinsman and this kinsman came
on to the city to get a physician
and to notify George Barbee.
In a very short while both were
back at the home. near the Bar
bee saw mill. The shooting oc-
Cured about 2 o'clock and it was
near night when the boy was
brought here.
The father of Allie Barbee.
who was Willis Barbee, died sew
eral months ago and now the
widow has this second sad and
distressing affair in her home.
The wounded boy fingered on
until Tuesday morning at
o'clock, when he died.

TELEGRAPH STRIKE INCIDENT
ofiielaIs' Wives insist on Relieving
Western Union In Pittsburs.

OmClai8 wives Insist on relieving
Western Union In Pittsburs.
The Western Union was able to post
q bulletin In front of the general Of
fees at Pittsburg the other night an
nounclng that messages would be sent
east and west without delay, says the
New York Tribune. This was due to
the fact that the company had secured
the volunteer services of the wives Of
its three most important Pittsburg Of
hcials, who had resigned household
duties and recreation to stand side by
side with their husbands.
The other evening Mrs. e. B. Saylor,
wife of the Pittsburg superintendent;
Mrs. N. Il. Church, wife OF the Pitts
burg manager, and Mrs. Schiller. wife
of the night chief operator, took
places at the vacant keys despite the
protests of their husbands. The wO-
men were all expert telegraphers be-
fore their marriage and within an
hour had regained much OF their speed.
They set fast pace for the other OPP
orators, and the company soon found
that 1t could guarantee the public
against further delay. All three w0
men were handling important wires.
