remarking that they were not at all
satisfactory to him. He declared that
he was ready to sign an agreement.

A warm discussion followed and
for a time it looked as if the meeting

EARLY yesterday morning Guard Hol-
land Clark struck the trail Of the
fugitives near Cedar Bluff on Cabin
creek, and followed the tracks all day.
The tracks Of the two men were plain
ly visible along the road leading to-
ward the railroad. The two conyicts
were seated on the steps of the school
house and did not recognize their pur-
suer until he was nearly upon them.
Then they jumped up and started to
run, but Clark pulled his revolver
down on them and they stopped. The
sheriff was then notified Of the re-

ALL IS QUIET PRECEDING
COURT HOUSE ELECTION
Third Election Within Month To Be Held in
Vinit0 Next Monday - Heavy Vote Ex-
pected to Be POlled Notwithstanding

ment of Forces is About Settled.

heavy vote will be polled. There has
been considerable opposition raised to
the court house bond issue by the
farmers in the northern part of the
county, who 1t seems fear the added
taxation. This fear, however, is UNI
founded for the difference in taxa
tion if the bond issue carries will not
be more than fifty cents on the thou
sand dollars. The rent paid for the
present building used for the court
house is almost equal to the amount
required for the sinking fund
While vinita is vitality interested in
the outcome Of this election, and will
cast a large vote for the bond PROPOSE
ton, the town has made no campaign
pHeterring to let the farmers of the
county themselves decide whether or
not a court house will be built From
present indications, nearly the entire
vote at White Oak, Big Cabin, Todd,
Kelso and Vinita with the farming
element in the district mentioned will
favor the court house bond issue. At
Centralia, Welch and Bluejacket and
the farming district around those
towns there is a great deal Of opposi-
tion to the issue, and if it is defeated,
the defeat viii be due to those men.

DEMOCRATS HOPE
TO CONTEST HOUSE
Congressman Ferris Believes Tariff
Law Has Changed Complexion
Of House.

Lawton, Okla, Aug. 12.-"As a re-
suit of the recent tariff sessions of
congress, it is generally conceded,
both by democrats and republicans at
Washington, believe, that the repub-
licans will not control the next house
of representatives" was the statement
of Congressman Scott Ferris of the
Fifth Oklahoma district, who has just
returned from Washington. "False
promises and broken pledges cannot
be rewarded with success at the hands
of thinking, intelligent American
people.
And, with a democratic house,
there is a strong possibility of secur-
ing the amendment to the constitu-
tion providing for the election of I'm
tied States senators by direct vote of
the people and thus, within the next
few years, changing also the political
complexion of the upper house.
1T is to be regretted that the three
Oklahoma republicans in the house
from the first, second third districts
were not. willing to cast their vote
and their influence with progressive
republicans Of the west in helping to
carry ont the pledges made to the peo-
pie While the democratic delegation
from Oklahoma worked and voted con
sistently againsth the eastern trust
fed machine, Oklahoma's republican
representatives became source of
derision among western members of
their own party who looked to the
best interests of their constituents
and their action has undoubtedly
marked them for the slaughter when
they ask for reelection.
Never in the history of the country
were the republicans in congress SO
badly shattered; never in the history
OF the country were the democrats
more united as under the leadership
of Champ Clark of Missouri It is
true that a few democrats favored the
bill, but altogether there were but
three of these in both branches of the
congress, while. on the other hand,
there were twenty-six republicans in
congress who voted with the demo
Gratis The result should be entirely
beneficial to the democrats"

BIG CIRCUS DAY
IS ALMOST HERE
Every One is Looking Forward to the
Big Day Tomorrow With Much
Pleasure

In spite of the annual and some
times more frequent occurrance of
"circus day" the majority of the peo-
pie of this city are always ready to
welcome the white tents and red wa
gons. Now that the date fixed for
the appearance of the John Robinson
Combined Shows is almost here the in
terest is becoming acute and thous-
ands are planning to visit the show.
There are people who really object
to the coming of a circus, especially
one of the magnitude of Robinson's
Shows, because of the tendency of
the average citizen and countryman
to make it holiday. Such people
however, are born pessimists. and I'M
desirable citizens. They forget that
while they may be able to attend and
enjoy the theatre every week. most of
those who attend circus are only
able to do SO about once of twice
year. The latter is the amusement
of all classes of people, because it is
bargain counter of amusements No
where else can so much be seen for
the same price and nowhere else can
it be enjoyed with the same enthusia-
SIN as in the circus throngs. The city
is not immune from the circus fever
and especially is this true when the

qualities of the John Robinson shows.
They are without question in class
by themselves; no other tented enter
prise can offer such varied and in
teresting program of novelties or dis
play such collection of trained ami |
mails and thrilling performers. The
horse stables alone are worth visiting
to all lovers of the gentle equine, for
the Robinson ''horse show" is the talk
Of all America; then the ponies, they
should be seen; also the culinary de-
partment, where over six hundred
people are served three times a day.
The blacksmith shops. the electric
light plant and hundred places will
be found of interest.
If the weather is fine and the water
IS not too cold the elephants will be !,

On next Monday the third bond cleo
ton within month will be held. The
other two elections however. strictly
affected the city. The Monday cleo
tion is for the entire county, and is
an important election as it involves
the expenditure Of $4,000 for court
house, and $4,000 for the construc-
ton of bridges over the various
streams of the county
The outcome of this election is very
much in doubt and it is believed a

DECIDES
THAW IS INSANE
Decision Handed Down This Morning
in Habeas Corpus Proceedings
To Secure Release.

BY Associated Press.
White Plains, N. ", Aug. l2.-Jus-
tice Mills handed down a decision
TINS morning declaring Harry X. Thaw
insane. He dismissed the writ OF
habeas corpus, under which Thaw en-
deavored to secure his release from
Matteawan and remands him to the
custody of the state authorities at
that institution.
Justice Mills claimed that the in
sanity with which Thaw was afflicted
at the time of the murder was par
anoia. In reviewing the case Justice
Mills spoke OF the slight trace Of in
sanity Of the Thaws ancestral stock,
reviewed his childhood and the early
manhood of Thaw and spoke of his
immoral character. His belief in the
wild stories told by his wife about
White were indicative of an unbalanc-
ed mind" said Mills.
Regarding Ths,ws suspicion of
conspiracy against him by his early
counsel, the court says: such belief
was utterly without foundation, and
was a clear delusion, and this is
plainly the history Of paranoiac. This
court concludes that Thaw's insanity
at the commission of the murder was
and not brain storm, if any
such variety of insanity exists. Thaw
has not yet recovered from insanity
and all experts agree that in a case of
true paranoia recovery is very doubt

COUNCIL DISCUSSES
PLAN FOR MORE WATER

The city council held a special ses-
sion last night for the purpose of
authorizing the issue of the city hall
bonds. voted at the election August
3. The question of bettering the
water service was taken up and dis
cussed and while no action was taken
on the matter, it is pretty certain that
steps will be taken in the near future
for increasing the water facilities.

point Johnson, on the other hand,

declaring that his position on this
point was irrevocable. He finally won
out and all references to the subject
were omitted.

A new construction was placed on
the meaning of the new game law to-
day, when stranger came to the

them. The law says carrying a shot
gun is evidence of intent to hunt and
every hunter must have license.
