MUCH EXCITEMENT
IN FRISCO YARDS
Sheriff Takes Two Shots at Flying
Robber-Two Men Caught
Robbing Car.

Considerable excitement was caused in
the Frisco yards late yesterday evening
by Jesse Smith and Albert Harris, who
are alleged to have robbed a caboose and
box car. Sheriff Ridenhour was notified
and he and George Couch hurried to the
scene and arrived there in time to catch
both of the would be robbers. The sheriff
decided to investigate how much stuff
had been taken from the car, and while
George Couch with the two prisoners
were in the car, the latter threw down
the armful of merchandise which they still
had in their possession and attempted to
escape. Each went in the opposite direc-
ton from the other Ridenhour started after
one and pulled his "hog-leg' and fired at
the fugitive just as he rounded the end of
the car, and the bullet fiattened out
against the car. The escaping robber
then started toward the Halsell pool and
Sam again fired at him, and this time the
fugitive turned a somersault, and it was
thought that the bullet had found its
mark, but later developement showed
that it was only fright that caused the
somersault. Both prisoners were caught
and are now quietly abiding their time at
the county Jail

SUPREME COURT CHECKS
OKLAHOMA TAX FERRETS

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 22-The work Of
the tax ferrets" in Oklahoma was tenn
porarily checked yesterday by the filing
Of test case in the Oklahoma supreme
court. George Anderson of Guthrie asked
for writ of mandamus to prevent Fred
W. Ritterbusch, treasurer of the Logan
county, from collecting $3,448.93 of back
taxes which are alleged to have escaped
taxation between the years of 1904-07.
The court granted temporary writ of
prohibition.
This brings the question of the validity
of senate bill 245, passed by the last
legislature providing for the employment
of tax ferrets in each county to dig up
unpaid taxes. before the supreme court of
the state and involves millions of dollars
worth of property.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR STRONG TEAM
Vinita High School Has Material
To Make State Champion
ship Team

That Vinita High School foot bali team
will be in the running for the state high
school championship is certain now. and
a look at the bunch of husky lads that
turn out each evening, clad in their
football armor will convince any one
familiar with the great college game that
Vinita stands good chance of winning
a large majority of the games this sea
son. The boys are all of good size and
are quick and fast on their feet, and
display good grit in their practice.
While the material for the team is, Of
course, yet green il can readily be seen
what few days Of good stiff practice
under the direction Of the coach will do
for them. Although only week has pas
sed since the opening of school and the
boys have not had much time for prac-
tice they handle the ball nicely, and are
executing some nice plays that are bound
to prove winners. The team has not yet
attained the speed of which the members
are capable, but the coach is working
hard on this line and by next Monday
when the team goes up against Miami, it
will be running like a well oiled and per-
fectly adjusted machine. The outlook for
winning team is the brightest Vinita has
ever had.
Prof Masterson, who is acting as man
ager for the team is arranging games
with some of the best teams in the high
schools Of the state and some exciting
contests may be expected

DR.. MORGAN EXTRACTS
MOLAR FROM HORSES JAW

Dr. D. B. Morgan, the veterinarian, yes
terday extracted jaw tooth from Post
master Joe Buffers big carriage horse
that was certainly marvellous formation.
The immense molar had grown from the
lower jaw to twice the length of the other
teeth, bad worn away the corresponding
grinder and had driven its way into the
process Of the jaw above. How the poor
animal had endured the pain of the sew
eral years that it must have been there is
wonderful. 1t was even more remarkable
than many of the jaws and teeth the
doctor has been exhibiting in his travels,
as he lectures and treats horses from city
to city throughout the country. With such
a malformation in the teeth horse could
not grind his food with any degree Of eff
cheney and must necessarily undergo con-
tinual pain. The old horse seemed to
understand what was being done for his
relief, as he scarcely flinched while the
forceps were crashing away. breaking the
tooth down to its normal height.

Ginning Of wee Edward Griswold Nc
Cullough, who made his appearance
on earth recently in the old Griswold
inn at Worthington He is the son Of
Edward Miles Mccullough and Harriet
Griswold Mccullough
In all the romance Of old Worthing-
ton there is no greater halo than that
which hangs over the Griswold inn. It
was built in 1906 by Ezra Griswold,
who came from Connecticut with the
pioneers who settled much of the west
ern reserve and central Ohio
The family was an old one even for
old Connecticut. and Ezra Griswold
was a sturdy representative Of It. He
brought his family into the great
west" with him, and his son, George
Grlswold. was reared in the inn. He
was eight years old when his father
brought him to Ohio.
George Griswold in turn, inherited
the duty of perpetuating the name,
and when his father died he fell heir
to the inn property and lived through
out his life where his father had
builded SO well. His son was Worth
ington Franklin Griswold who. as his
father had done. inherited the inn and
lived In it.
To him and his good wife was born
daughter Harriet, who was reared In
the old home Of the family, and who
continued to live there when she be
came Mrs. Mccullough.
Now she Is the happy mother Of
son, and she is rocking him in th'
Griswold cradle that was brought {
Ohio along with other household pos
sessions, by Ezra Griswold when h'
drove his OK team overland from Con
necticut in 1906.
No one knows how long the uniqu'
heirloom had been in the Griswol'
family before that time, but it is sur
posed that Ezra Griswold was himsel
