The defendants also filed a response
to the motion of District Attorney
Gregg disputing the charges of inn

misconduct upon the part OF ploRSs as
serting that he has used the Tulsa
World, of which he is stated TO be
part owner, TO mold sentiment and
prejudice the court and grand jury
against the defendants: that he stated
that he was after Haskell and assist
ants and that no one else would be
prosecuted that he stated to Mr.. Allen

the breeze that wandered over flow

the rose; her eyes were stars from
heaven torn, and she was guileless
OF corn upon her sweet angelic
toes. For hours and hours his songs
were sung. until a puncture spoiled
lung, and then, of course, he had
to quit; but Arabella from her room

gloom, and gave him a reconniption

FARMERS ARE PROSPEROUS.
Ride i'm Automobiles and Live on Fat
of the Land.

Some wise people think that the
continued prosperity of the farmers
is demoralizing that important por-
ton of our population; that their in
creased incomes are doing them more
harm than good, and that their fami-
lies are departing from their habits
OF thrift, economy and the simple
life that have characterized the till
ers of the soil since the beginning of
time. 1t is doubtless true that the
farm house, particularly in the west,
is now provided with more comforts,
conveniences and luxuries than the
richest could afford a few years
ago, and it is true that the farmers
sons and daughters are buying bet
ter clothing and are spending more
money for trifies than ever was
known before The farmer himself
is buying better stock, better ma
chinery and implements, better We
hicles and it is common nowadays
to see him come to town Saturday
afternoon with his family in an au-
tomobile which costs $1,000 or ST.
900, and even more. And there is
no reason under heaven why this
should not be so; if there is, name
il.
