WANTED ON JURY.
OFFERED TO BRIBE MARSHAL
DARROUGH TO GET HIM ON.
WAS IMMEDIATELY ARRESTED
VIM. Taft Causes CONSERVATION in
Marshals Office by Offering
Bribe of $3.50.

What is undoubtedly the nerviest
attempt to get on the jury list was
that of VIM. Taft, farmer living
few miles from town, who this morn.
ing came to the office Of United States
Marshal W. HI. Darrough and said
he wanted to get on the jury. Mr..
Darrough told Taft that he thought
it would be impossible for him to get
ON now. Then to the abashment of the
marshal, Taft offered him 50 so in real
money to place him on the jury. Dar-
trough was completely dumfounded at
the nerve Of the fellow, but finally
came round and placed him under
arrest and turned HIM over to the
grand jury.
When seen by Chieftain reporter,
Mr.. Darrough was still white with
rage at the gall of being offered a
bribe in his Office and was wondering
how ne controlled himself from kick
ing the insolent fellow out Of his
Office.

HASKELL SPEAKS
Only Small Crowd at Opera House
Muskogee Candidate Makes
Good Speech.

Court being in session is probably
responsible for the small crowd that
heard Hon. @. N. Haskell, candidate
for governor, at the opera house this
afternoon. Nevertheless the Musko.
gee candidate made a good speech.
He devoted considerable time to The
defense of the constitution. showing
the good points of that document and
telling OF the difficulties encountered
by the delegates in framing the cons
titution. After discussing the cons
titution at some length, the speaker
turned his attention to his own can
didacy.

Greenville. Ark, June 3-Governor

SNAKE INDIANS CARE BUT
LITTLE ABOUT STATEHOOD

Muskogee, /. T., June 3-In order to

passed by the Keetoowah Society re-
Gently, in which they declared against
the constitution Of the proposed state
of Oklahoma, as written, the Snake
Indians composed the Of full-blood ele-
ments of the Greek tribe, headed by
Crazy Snake, according to word re-
ceived here today, will meet at the
old Creek council grounds near Henry
eta next week.
These Indians claim that they are
going to move to Old Mexico as soon
as they are permitted by the depart
ment of the interior to sell their lands
and they are not interested in the
matter of statehood except to help
the members Of their tribe who will
be subject to the law under the consti-
tuition
In all probability, this will be the
last meeting Of these Indians ever
held, for if the cor stitution carries
and Oklahoma gets two United States
senators the restrictions upon the
lands Of the Indians Of the five tribes
will be removed at the first session Of
congress which they attend, and as
soon as this is done the lands belong
ing to these Indians willi be immedi

THE PERSONAL EQUATION
BIG FACTOR IN BASEBALL
Many Veteran Managers Still Retain Their Nervous
Temperament-Othe Always Quiet-CantiIlon
of the Explosive Type

Is vicious when his team Is losing. and
when the New York manager is fun
ing around on the bench or third base
and advising his players TO 90 into the
opposing players il is sure indication
mat things are going wrong Griffith IS
nervous and high strung, and when his
team begins to loss he is inclined 10
look for trouble with umpires ard others
VINO thWart his plans. When winning he
puts more good humor in his coaching.
although he makes just about as much
noise and Is always fighting for more
runs. no matter how many his team has.
OLD Timers More Reserved.
Jones and Chance managers Of the
sox and Cubs, respectively. are OF the
quleter order of coachers. Jones shows
by his lack OF interest in the game and
the hunched forward position he assumes
When his team is losing. He goes about
his work quietly. and one indication of
me game being close or against the
White SoX is consultations between
Jones and Davis. Donohue or IsbeII.
and there IS something stirring as a
rule after these. Chance takes things
more stoically. and he does not indl-
cate very markedly how the game is
going
Connie Mack, Hanlon, and Donovan
are all of the quieter school of man
ayers, and they take winning or losing
pretty much as matter of course.
Mack's distinctive sign of victory be-
ing peculiar smile which he wears
when things are going right. Lajoie
does not make much noise and he takes
things pretty evenly. while Mcguire is
inclined to be quiet and go along pretty
evenly. Clarke, of Pittsburg, is some
what like MeGraw in that he gets more
determined and more savage when the
tide is against his club, while Tenney,
Of Boston, Is inclined to sulk when
things go wrong.
Cantillon of the Explosive Type.
Three of the new managers this sea
son, Jennings. CantinoR. ard Murray.
are of the nervous. explosive type. Muir
ray stays off the coaching line on the
bench, but he lunches around a good
deal and fires comments at his players
in decidedly spicy style. Jennings and
CanullOn have raised storm of pro-
test in some quarters by the way they
coach, but there is nothing particularly
harmful in u after all, and a deal OF
amusement for the fans.
