Seized Twenty-seven Calves

Ranger Herb Wood, Fred Holden, inspector of cattle for the territorial board, and Geo. Johnson returned last Monday from an official trip around the ranges. They brought back to Williams twenty seven head of calves. Eleven of the animals are claimed by Minor Owen and sixteen by Emmett James. They were seized by the inspector on the ground that they were illegally in possession of claimants and will be sold in accordance with law. The seizure took place at Owen dam, north of Seligman. and about sixty miles from Willia ms This case is similar to that of William Kay, who had ten calves con iscated and sold by order of the Territorial Sanitary board, a few weeks since, the legality of which action was sustained after three trials in the justice court.
 Minor Owen and Emmett James, from whom the calves were taken, have been in considerable trouble lately, J. w. Sullivan having had the men arrested charged with changing the brand on one of his horses, an account of which appears in another column of THE NEWS,

The Racket Store, always to the front when it comes to catering to the holiday trade. has received a stock of goods that is one of the most extensive ever brought to Williams. There are articles in the store, a selection from which will make handsome presents for both young and old. By calling early, prospective purchasers will 2 .t the choice of this fine stock The low prices for which the Racket Store has always been noted are still in force and money will b. saved by patronizing the estab- lishment.
 Wednesday last Judge Langin notified the proper officials at Flag staff that the retention of Dell Clemmo in the jail at that place was a needless expense to the county and that he should be set 1t liberty. The judges reason for taking this action was he had found that "Curly" Carson, who was carved by ClemmoDs, would not appear against the latter when the case came to trial and that con- siction was improbable. He there fore ordered Clemmons' release.
 A glance through the stores ol he city is sufficient to convince the most skeptical that there is not another town of its size that can compare with Williams in the ele gant and extensive stock of goods now on exhibition. The enterprise displayed by our merchants is most commendable and no one should think for moment of send ing away for any article when there is such a large, varied, useful an6 ornamental line of holiday goods to select from right at home.

NATIONAL BANKERS SLEEP

Blackwell, Okla, Dec. S.-The Off
GERS Of the three national banks in
this city were astounded yesterday to
find a state bank open for business at
the usual banking hour The national
banks had an understanding among
themselves that they would not have a
state bank in Blackwell if they could
help it and that If anyone took steps
to organize a state bank the three in
stitutions would head it off by putting
in a state bank themselves. L. H.
Thompson, a former national banker
al Lamont, who is much impressed
with the guaranty law, thought he
would show the Blackwell bankers a
trick and organized bank on the
quiet. taking out a charter and au-
thorization papers Saturday at Guth-
rie. The bank fixtures were set up in
an empty building here yesterday and
when the national bankers came down
town this morning they were much
surprised to find the name State Guar

on store window.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-10-31

Neighbor Lilley put his foot in 1t once more at Hartford the other evening. If he is given long enough time he will turn enough republican votes to Robertson to bring about his own defeat. His attacks on the Con solidated railroad, the trolley com pany, the lobby and J. Pierpont Nor gan are laughable to those who know MT Lilley. They are made for politi- cal purposes only, of course, every body seems to know that, but why Congressman Lilley should attack his opponent on these lines is mys- tery to most people, and it shows that lack of foresight and tact which would be looked for in man aspir- ing to be governor of Connecticut. In Hartford the people resent Lilley's attack on Morgan. One writer in the Times asks the following:
 I desire to inquire if J. Pierpont Morgan referred to by Congressman Lilley of New Haven as one of the capitalists who dictated and forced Judge Robertson's nomination for governor by the democrats, is the J. P. Morgan who gave to Hartford the beautiful art gallery which is draw ing to completion at the present time on Main street, south of the Athe- neum?
 l The Times answers the query thus:
 The same liberal gentleman. MT Robertson's nomination was not fore ed, and MT Lilley's statement places him in the position if elected of raising h-l," to quote Joe Barbour, with the corporations.
 And still another, a republican, too, says he will vote against Lilley, on account of his reference to Nor gan and Robertson. He says, refer ring to Lilley's speech in Hartford:
 That statement lost MT Lilley one republican vote. If he told the truth and in the event of the election of Judge Robertson, J. Pierpont Morgan, pwho has done so much to beautify Hartford, will be the real governor, then I shall vote for Morgan If MT Lilley did not tell the truth then a candidate who will make false statement to catch democratic votes cant get my vote
