FOUR men LYNCHED
IN OKLAHOMA
Cattlemen and Desperadoes Were Hung in
Barn. One Has Had Famous Career

Garrett. An Orderly Lynch
ing.

TO know any OF the participants and
he did not himself know them.
Last night a number OF the friends
OF Bobbett agreed that none OF the
four men could be convicted and
therefore they could only avenge Bob
belts murder by lynching the prison
ers. Bobbett was extremely popular
here and had numerous friends. When
the word "lynchIng" was suggested II
met with unanimous favor and the
work was planned and executed with
out hitch.
Later today II was learned that
there were two guards at the jail.
Both were knocked insensible and
they were found this morning still un.
conscious. but they viii both live.
After disposing OF the guards. the
mob rushed direct to the GELS where
the four men were confned. and drag
ged them ont. Only West resisted
effectively; he fought like tiger,
After hanging their victims In the
barn the mob disappeared.
The bodies OF the four dead men
are now at the uriertakers. Sheriff
Smith arrived at seven o'clock.

CONGRESSMAN HAR-
DT COT BLOOD
Texan bangles New
Standard Oil Joker
Before the
House.

Washington, ID. c., April Ia
brand new Standard Oil "joker" was
discovered In a new place In the Payne
Tariff bill today.
The Payne bill, like the Dingley
law. ostensibly places petroleum on
the free list for the benefit Of the
consumer. But there Is a provision
which imposes duty on all petrol
cum, crude or refined. imported from
any country which collects a duty on
petroleum exported from this country.
That duty IL equal In amount TO the
import duty OF the country sending
Us the oil.
II Is a fact that every country In
the world which produces petroleum
exacts such a duty, and In most cases
that duty makes importation to this
country prohibitive. SO instead Of hay-
ing this necessity OF life on the free
list. Il Is In reality on the dutiable list
at a rate 30 high as to make impor-
tation of oil to this country impossible.
This was supposed TO be the wicked
little Standard OH Joker" In the
Payne bill until today.
Texan Makes the Discovery.
Representative Rufus Hardy. Of
Texas. on a still hunt. discovered the
real fuzzy. ferret-like creature secure
|ly burrowed away In Section 70 Of
the bill a. far removed from the oil
schedule as II was possible to get II
and keep II between the covers.
With fine effect Mr.. Hardy hauled
the funny little Joker out OF iss hid.
| ing place by the scrun Of the neck and
exposed Il to the crowded galleries.
Section % Is innocently called the
drawback provision OF the bill. Such
provision Is now In force under the
Dlngiey law. II permits a manufac

Ada, Okla. April is.--Four promi-
nent catflemen were taken from the

Chicago, Dec. 8.-President e. H.

of more than $4,000 in 25 states, the
president and officers of each state or
ganization comprising the advisory
board of the association and also the
ways and means committee.
The test of the life of the associa.

hinges on an attempt that will be
made by James S. Bradley, Jr, of To
ledo, O., to obtain the adoption of a
resolution whereby the association will
relinquish to the Bell Telephone com
pany all right and title to long dis
lance service If the latter will give
the independents local service into all
large cities of the United States.
Bradley and his co-workers are at
work with delegates and officials.
If the resolution or similar promo.
sition gets through the convention it
means the end of the independent
telephone movement in the United
States and Canada, it is asserted by
the organizations.

SITUATION BECOMING NORMAL

Minneapolis, Dec. S.-Twin City
freight terminals were given a thor.

business men, with a view to ascer.
tanning actual strike conditions.
The following report issued by ].
H. Beck. secretary of the st. Paul
Jobbers' and Manufacturers Associa.
ton, embodies the conclusions reach.
ed:
After covering the terminals of
several lines in st. Paul, the party
visited the Hamline transfer of the
Great Northern railway and several
OF the terminals in Minneapolis, OBJ
serving conditions at Minnesota trans.
fer en- route. At the various points a
careful inspection was made of the
work being done, the number Of en-
gines and crews actually engaged in
switching, and the general condition
of the various yards.
Representatives of the press &C.
companied the party and were given
every opportunity of making indepen-
dent observations. The conclusion
reached at the completion of the trip
was that the freight is being moved
in very satisfactory manner, and,
although normal conditions do not
prevail at all points, a volume of bust.
ness above normal was being handled
at some points.
At HamIine Transfer.
For example, at the Hamline trans.
fer where the merchandise freight
from st. Paul, Minneapolis and Min.
nesota transfer is assembled and con-
solidated for all points on the Great
Northern railway, 1853 cars were load.
ed and forwarded on Mo6day, as
against normal of approximately 1870
cars
This unusual business was be-
cause of accumulation of some of the
freight on the first days of the strike,
and completely cleaned up the accu-
mutation. The business was being
handled in an entirely normal and
satisfactory manner. The various
members of the party expressed them
selves as well satisfied with the con-
ditions as they found them, and unit
ed in the statement that there is no
longer any question of the ability of
the railways to handle the business
offered, with but little delay.
