LOCKED IN VAULT
TO ESCAPE ELKS

Maryville, Mo, August 24-(Spe-
ciaD by a bunch of Elks,
their coming being made frightful by
the clang and din og sheep bells tied
to their legs, County Treasurer No
BILE G. Convey, had narrow escape
from death early this morning. On
account of the press of business he
had decided not to accompany the
Maryville Bills to Elks' Day at the
Creston, Ia, fair on their special
train
Scouting parties were sent out to
bring in deserters. Covey was sight
ed standing in front of the county
treasurer's office window; and de-
tachment was sent to bring him into
the ranks. Covey's assistant. Miss
Anna May Worst, seeing them, seiz-
ing her chief and hustling him into
the vault in the corner of the office,
swung the ponderous door shut with
clang and turned the combination.
Her actions were seen by the adj
vance guard of the scouts, who de-
manded that she open the door Of
fers of automobile rides, 10-pound
boxes of candy and such other tempt

that Covey was in the vault. Finally

well, we will just take Miss
Worst to Creston as our guest
"All right" was her reply
Decorated with ribbonds and sheep
bells tied to her elbows, Miss Worst
was hustled to a waiting cab. While
the scouts were pursuing George
Roeb Ellison, Miss Worst made her
escape from the cab, after removing
the bells from her arms, that her
flight might not be noticed
Reaching the Office she opened the
vault, and more dead than alive
Covey reeled into the open air. an
almost suffocated man. One hun
dred Elks proceeded to Creston with
out Mr.. Covey Restoratives were
applied, and Mr.. Covey is now out
of danger. He remained in the vault
for about forty-five minutes.

INDIANS ACTIVE
IN CHURCH WORK
Catholics Lead in Number
of Converts.

Pawhuska, Okla, August 24-(Spe-
cial)-The red man as a religious
power in the new state is matter
not generally considered outside it's
boundaries, yet the Indian, when con-
verified, is deeply religious and enjoys
more so even than the average white
man, the privilege of holding and at
tending religious meetings. His pre-
ference, however, is for camp meet
ings, as this form more closely re-
sembles the customary religious con-
victions held by the tribes before their
conversion to Christianity. Annual
ly, it is the custom for the Methodists
and Baptists, in particular, to hold
camp meetings, for the Indian tribes,
among whom they have been doing
missionary work The iKowas and
Comanches are especially favorable
to these open-air meetings each sum-
mer, and attend in great numbers.
The Catholics hold first place in
doing missionary work among the In
dams of the Southwest, with the Me-
thodists and Baptists close together
for second place and the Presbyter-
ians and Episcopalians punched for
third position. Recent congressional
action has given all these denomina-
tons the control and ownership of
the church and school lands, which
they have improved by the erection
of buildings thereon, thus recogniz-
ing the church as a great civilizing
power among the Indians. All these
denominations have numerous schools
and churches for the red men
throughout the new state, and occa-
sionally may be found buildings be-
longing to one TO the many other
denominations

Help Other Churches

Not only do the Indians, as a rule
support their own churches by finan-
cial contributions, but in some in
stances they give literally toward the
maintenance and establishment OF
other churches. In one instance, too
it is recorded where Indians gave
money toward the erection of a
church at Copan, in Indian Territory
to be used by the white people OF
that community. Rev. S. A. Evans
a white evangelist, was doing mis-
sionary work in the locality and was
very anxious to have church build
ing of some kind at Copan.
On one trip to Copan, Rev. Evan.
was accompanied by Arthur Arm
strong, well-known Delaware In
dian, and it was almost impossible to
find building in which to hold re-
ligious services. Finally Evans
turned to Armstrong and said: 'Ar-
thur how much will you give for a
church in Copan?'
Me give $25 for church-$25 to
help civilize white man." was the
reply, and he actually did give it, as
did other Delaware and Cherokee
Indians for the erection of the Copan
church.
FulI-BlOOded Delaware Preacher
Edwin Miller full-blood Delaware
