DOGS FIND STOLEN
GOODS NEAR MIAMI
About 1925 Worth of Goods Stolen
From Miami Store Recovered in
Timber Near Neosho River.

Deputy Jake Smith and Fred Gala
way returned last night from Miami
where they had been with Sheriff
Ridenhour's bloodhounds to trace the
robbers who yesterday morning broke
into the Model Clothing company's
store and secured about $1,000 worth
of suit cases, clothing and other
goods.
The dogs traced the burglars about
three and one half miles from Miami
into the timber along the Neosho
river, where about sS25 worth of the
stolen goods had been left in a brush
heap. No further trace of the rob-
bers could be followed by the dogs.
The officers, however, arrested two
men, suspected Of the robbery. The
Miami Republican has the following
to say of the robbery:
Sometime between midnight and
five o'clock this morning the Model
clothing store was robbed and about
SO good suits, six or eight suit cases,
shoes, underwear, hates and jewelry
were taken. The thieves took out a
window glass on the back end of the
store and made their entrance, took
what they wanted, opened the back
door and walked out to rig and made
their get away. Bowen and Phillips,
the propriestors of the store, got busy
and the people are now assisting them
in trying to locate the thieves. The
stores of Quapaw were robbed the
night before last. The thieves have
been operating in this neck of the
woods and our officials are now re-
solved to catch them. Phone and
telegraph messages were sent to all
parts of the county. Everybody should
be on the lookout and help us to get
this bunch of thieves behind the bars.
Later-About 8 o'clock farmer
came in from across the river with two
sait cases filled with clothes The
thieves were trying to hide the stolen
articles in his corn field. A telegram
was then sent to Vinita for the blood
hounds which was brought up on the
1920 train. The train stopped about
mile west of the bridge and the
hounds we're put on their track and in
short time led the men to the four
suit cases which contained the bal
ance of the stolen goods. The hounds
followed the men to road where the
tracks indicated that they got into
buggy and drove away

Chickasha, Okla, July 1.-For fish
ing with nets and seine Horatio and
Rombert Shibley, brothers, We're fin
ed $50 each by Justice Moore.
Walden Asknew suspected that fish

In the garb of fisherman, Bryan
dropped down the river in boat and
when he came to the camp of the
young men tied up, struck camp and
put out his hooks. After visiting with
the other fishermen, and seeing them
in the act of violating the game laws
of the state, he phoned for Deputy

we're earthquake shocks were felt here
and at Reggie at 1920 o'clock this
morning and created panic among
the people of these two cities. 1t is
said this quake was of greater severity

several officers who had connection,
direct or indirect Herewith, namely,
Mr.. Lozier, former superintendent, At
torney General West and State En-
forcement Attorney Caldwell; also that
the dispensary business and prohibi-
tion enforcement was extremely ex-
pensive to the tax payers of the state,
etc.
Believing that the people of the
state are entitled TO a better under
standing of the facts than some Of
the press seem disposed to give their
readers and that prohibition and its
methods of enforcement can best be
passed upon by those who favor pro-
hibition and wish it success, /, there
fore, ask you above named gentle
men to assemble at the capitol on next
Thursday. July 1st, and make such
complete investigation of Mr.. Taylor's
report and OF everything connected
with the dispensary and the law en-
forcement work, all receipts and ex.
penditures of money, stock and every
other thing connected Herewith as
will qualify you to speak with full
knowledge and thereup to submit your
report in writing for the information
of the public in general as well as my

MAYOR MCCLELLAN REMOVES
POLICE COMMISSIONER
BY Associated Press.

BY AssOCIdIeu HISS,
New York, July Mayor McClel-
Ian, today, removed Theodore A, Bing-
ham from the office Of police commits
sioner.
The mayors action grew out of
Binghams refusal to ask for the resig-
nation of Deputy Commissioner Han
sen and Secretary Slattery. The
mayor desired the removal Of these
men because, in his opinion, the po-
lice department needed radical change
in the management of its affairs.

thousand men, were closed today when

that no general strike order calling
out the other southwest miners will
be issued until after the conference
between the southwestern coal oper-

1t is believed that when the examin,
alton is complete that it will be con.
clusiyely shown that the state has not
lost dollar and that the officers have
clean hands.
The partisan press has attempted to
show that the agency has cost the
people $2S,O00 This also includes the
cost of prohibition enforcement. No
sane man would expect it to be loss.
That is only little more than 5000 to
the county and If criticism would lie
at all 1t would be that more should be
expended.

SWEENEY HAS
GOOD TALK

At tne commencement exercises a
the State University Judge Sweeney
delivered very spirited address OF
the civic duty that every American
citizen owed the Commonwealth tha
protected him in his civil rights as ;
citizen. He showed that all good
citizens should take an interest iI
politics and he scored those who
shirk these obligations in the fol-
! lowing trenchant language:
In these days is is becoming sc
| common to near men Of intelligence
of responsibility and of influence,
say: Il take no interest in politics
| have no time to bother with them.
| and to even profess with common in
difference that they failed to exercise
that greatest Of privileges, the su-
preme act Of citizenship, the instru-
mentality through which the destiny
of our country is decided, the casting
of their ballot. | say that such in
difference on the part of any citizen
who shirks his civic duty is criminal
and the more Intelligent, the more
influential the man who acts so and
thereby sets such an example 10 the
youth Of the country, the more GRIM
inal tn act.
EVERY citizen from the President
of the United States down 10 the low
performs his part in perpetuatine
this experimental government OF
ours, always take an active part in
politics, and particularly in cOnVcn-
tons where the principles OF his par
~ are moulded in platforms. and pay
heed to the election OF proper can
principles which he believes best for
his cOuntry-and this applies with
equal force to city county. state or
national affairs. 1t makes no differ
ence-there is and can be no legl-
innate excuse for any citizen, high or
low rich or poor. to fail 10 perform
his duty in this respect N so far as
his power lies. Theyc same men
who neglect to do their civic duty
are the very ones who @rumble and
cry the lOudest if our government is
improperly administered, or some an
archistic theory injected into it.
when they know or ought to know
that an administration and its Off
GERS chosen TO carry out the Jaw,
are but the reflection Of the will of
the majority vote. And they know
or ought TO know that there axe
more right thinking Americans than
otherwise. and In order to see to it
that proper governmental policies
are pursued and proper officers elect
ei to execute the trust that they
should perform at least their civic
duty in casting their ballot.
