PATHETIC STORY TOLD
BY AGED RELATIVE
Will Continue Search for Girl
In Guthrie Where He Claims
TO Have KintOIkS
sneclal TO The Daily Leader.

Special to The Daily Leader.
Enid, Okla. July 16-Although he
is SO crippled by the infirmlties at
tending his advanced years that he
could NOT hold himself erect without
he ail of a cane. George b Churchill
of jefferson. Mo, nearing his S0th
year. came to this city yesterday in
search of his grand daughter, who
left a comfortable home three weeks
ago to come to oklahoma.
As The aged man recited his story
the Officers tears coursed down
the checks that had long since lost
the color of youth Frequently the
county officers are asked to aid in
the search for runaway girl and
they heal the heart rending tales OF
many grief stricken mothers, but
never before had the officials listene
to a moca pathetic story than that
told by George Churchill
II showed that, although the girl
had disgraced lhe name of the family
in the community in which she lived
and she had treated her grand par
ents entrusted with her care with The
greatest OF disrespect, still he forgav
her and was willing to sacrifice his
all 10 save her from a life of shame
A promise made at the bedside of the
dying mother of the child, that he
would preserve the child from sin and
educate ler was one of the circum
stancs hat directed Churchill to
spend what may be the las days OF
his life together with all his earthly
possessions to locate the girl and re
turn her to her home.
To Continue Search.
As the aged man sat in a chair in
the Office Of the sheriff yesterday
morning, his hands palsied. and his
eyes wet with tears, he told the Off
GERS that he would offer a fifty-dollar
reward fer the recovery of his daugh
ter. This, he said, would amount to
more thaa his pension for four months
ana he could i'll afford to part with
it, but he would rather die of stacva
ton and have his grave in the potter's
field thar give up the search for the
fallen child.
1t was three weeks ago yesterday
that she left us" SAID Churchill "She
has been and awfully bad child. but We
have tired to teach her to be good.

Finally she stayed away all night and

He said that he had been able TO
trace her 70 Wichita, but there he
had lost all clue as to her whore

Larger towns of this state Mr.

GIRLS STATEMENT
REEVES MOB THREATS
Plot is Suspected Between
Slayer, Affinity and Her
Daughter

Watseka, Ill.,. July lG.-Golda Sayler.
17 years old, daughter of Banker John
Byron Sayler of Crescent City, has
come to the defense Of Dr. William
r. Mile. who is charged with the
murder of her father. Her action has
so aroused the residents of that vii
lage that it is feared a mob may be
formed there to come to Watseka and
attempt to lynch Or. Miller There
has beea talk of lynching ever since
the killing ana the girls statement
has strengthened this to a great eX-
tent
Or Miller was a good friend Of
mothers and mine and I'm sure he
killed my father in selfdefense, the
girl SAN, and this statement added
fuel to the flames of conjecture al
ready raging, making it seem more
likely to the Sayler's neighbors that
the husband was slain as the result
of a plo, between his wife and her
supposed admirer.
That the daugh er should have been
drawn into the plot, as some of the
neighbols infer from her defense OF
her fathers slayer, is what has most
reused the men and women of Ores
cent City
What makes the girls defense OF
Or. Mailer unusually tragic is the
tact hat during his life her father
was most devoted and indulgent
parent, and generally was believed to
be ignoring his wife's alleged inti-
macy with the physician because he
preferred suffering in silence to hu-
initiating the girl by involving her in
the notorety which would have fol-
lowed any action on his part.
Evidence of the existence of the
suspected plot is said to be in the
hands of States Attorney John T. Pal
lissard and Sheriff George p. Heikes
of lroquois county. Held with Dr.
Miller and MIS-. Lucy Sayler in the
Jail here are the woman's faher and
brothe-, John c. and Ira Crunden. The
latter three are charged with being
accessories to the crime.

received here today for filing, IA copy
Of the opinion OF United States Dis
trict Judge Bean at Portland in the

Anaconda Typographical Union; and
its officers. for thrice the amount OF

a recognized defender of the pure
food law adopted by his state. We
have often referred to the fact that
the purity and wholesomeness of food
has not always been involved in the
accusations brought by Or. Wiley and
other publicity seekers in their So
called pure-food campaign, Mr.. Mac
Neagh's firm, for instance. suffered
from the confiscation of a consign-
ment Of Cuban honey. made on the
ground that 1t did not conform so
certain pure food standards. It was
not charged that he honey was un-
wholesome. adulterated. or impure,
but that DIR, Wiley had fixed a stan
dard" for honey, II must contain a
certain proportion of ash. The Gu
ban honey sold by Mr.. M~acVeagh's
firm contained a larger amount OF
ash than the standard permitted,
because the bees who made the honey
culled the product from flowers that
yielded too much ash, The "aduter-
alton was done by the bees them

And this honey. pure, wholesome,
Just as the bees made it. was confis.
Gated. and the puryeyors of 1t were
charged with violating the pure food
law. Could anything be more non
sensical? Could anything be more
calculated TO bring a great. popular,
and long-needed law into ri1icule ana
contempt And now Il + said that
DR.. Wiley Is insisting that honey
strained from the comb is no longer
to be regarded as pure honey. as In
the s%training process 1t loses some
thing that he thinks ought to be in

DIR. Wiley, which is heard all over the
country. is due to his insistence that

wholesomeness or purity Of food pro-
ducts, but to carry out his own no.
