wounded man into the machine, and a
hurry run was made to Casualty Iospi-
tai, while Willard was arrested ard re-
moved TO the Fifth precinct station.
Physicians operated on Beck as soon as
he reached the hospital, but a cursory
examination showed the man TO be dying
While Beck was in the emergency room
his child-wife appeared and asked to see
him Her eyes showed no sign of tears,
nor did her manner betray excitement
She seemed stunned by the tragedy. but
talked clearly. Too young to realize what
had happened In the past ho1r. the girl
walked into the emergency room. The
sight Of her husband lying on the operat-
Ing table took away her composure. and
she left when she was told Beck was un-
conscious
The wounded mans mother called 70

OF all those who have expressed
their disapproyal Of the modus oper-

most emphatic and It would seem that
he has a right to talk

followed Mr. Pettyjohn and his fam

could not revive him and he died

Laughlin of Chandler was in the city
last evening and announced that the
$4,000 worth of bonds which had been
lost in shipment from Chandler to

the bonds we're found scattered over
the town of Bristow. Seven bonds
were found seven miles from Bristow
and one was found by a banker at
Davenport. The bonds were in the
denomination of $1,000. Children in
Bristow we're using the pretty green

After Working a Smooth
Game To Secure
Funds

Enid, Okla, Aug q 26.-Taking ad-
vantage OF the absence Of the mana
ger OF the Postal Telegraph Company
office in this city, T. NJ Daniels, who
was left in charge temporarily, Is
claimed by the telegraph company's
officials to have pulled off deal
whereby he Is $l.IO0 richer and the
company the loser
The plan by which Daniels operated,
as claimed by Manager Paul Drawer,
was to issue two money orders, one
of which was issued in the amount of
$500 in favor of Charles G. Runyon,
manager Of moving picture show,
who is said TO have cashed it and left
for Los Angeles on last Monday. The
second order was issued for 5000 on
the Kansas City telegraph office and is
supposed to have been cashed by Dan
iels himself at that place soon after
his departure from this city on Mon
day evening.
Daniels has been working extra at
the Enid office for more than year
and when Manager Drawer was called
away he left him in charge and did
not suspect anything wrong until he
returned Tuesday evening and found
Daniels missing.
The police have been notified and
Officers are looking for him in all parts
of the country
While there are many rumors as to
the cause of his misappropriation Of
the companys money, many Of his
close friends believe that 1t was on
account of his infatuation for young
lady who formerly worked at the Kress
store here, but left a few days ago for
Iowa
Daniels is 23 years of age, five feet
eight inches high and weighs 40
poun ls. His home is here.

HOBART SHY
ON WATER

Hobart. Okla, Aug. 26-With her
water supply nearly exhausted and
the chance Of obtaining even a meager
supply from wells that are being dug,
Hobart, with population of 5000, is
facing a water famine of the most seri-
GUS kind. Only light showers have
fallen in this part OF the state for
some time and the water courses are
going dry
The city council last night adopted
an ordinance prohibiting the use of
water in the mains between the hours
Of 9 p. m. and a. m. Some time ago
the sprinkling OF lawns was prohib-
tied, and Samuel Bratch wholesale
grocer, was fined $50 for violation Of
this injunction.
A reservoir on Little Elk creek is
the source of the citys water sup
ply, and this supply can last but few
days under present conditions. Only
an Immediate rain will prevent the
closing Of the electric light plant
which serves newspapers and other in
stitudons with power.
