CHARGES HIS SON WITH
THEFT OF HIDDEN MONEY

Cherokee, Okla, Mar. 21.-A rather
unique case, tried in the district court
during the present term, was that of
Carl Loeser against his son, Frank
Loeser. The father charged his son
with the theft of 1880 After the
panic of 1907 Carl Loeser, who is a
wealthy German living north of here,
withdrew between $4,000 and $4,000
from the banks and buried the money
in different parts of his farm. One of
the "sod" deposits was stolen and the
father accused the son of the theft.
The trial developed that this partic-
ular deposit was in an old sofa which
sat near an open window in the house.
The fact that the screen was off the
window was the defense and on that
the son was acquitted The trial caus-
ed considerable interest.

BADLY INJURED IN
SUNDAY ACCIDENT
Mrs. Gaylord Bebout Thrown From
Carriage And Seriously Injured -
Others of Party Unhurt.

AS a result of an accident, while
out driving with her husband, little
son and Miss Nettie Higgins, Sunday
afternoon, Mrs. Gaylord N. Bebout was
thrown from the carriage and sustain
ed injuries that may prove fatal, al
though the physicians attending feel
that she has about an even break for
recovery.
The accident occurred near the Joe
Harris place about five miles south
west of town. In crossing a mud hole
one of the tugs broke, frightening the
horses, which became uncomfortable
They ran a short distance and ran into
a fence, knocking down two posts, the
frightened horses continued on their
mad flight until the third post was
struck this post proved too solid and
the contact of the carriage with the
post hurled the occupants of the car
riage to the ground. Mrs. Bebout
struck on her right side, badly bruis-
ing that side of her face and broke
three ribs. The fractured end of one
of the broken ribs pierced the right
lung, and inflicted a wound that is
causing the physicians much worry as
to Mrs. Bebout's recovery. The other
members of the party except Miss
Huggins escaped without injury. Miss
Huggins was only shaken up by the
jar.
Mrs. Bebout was carried to the home
of Mr.. Igo, on the Harris place and
medical aid summoned. DR.. Louis
Bagby responded and after careful
examination reported the injured
lady's condition as critical, and re-
fused to allow her to be removed to
her home until the wounds shall have
had time to heal somewhat. Today the
condition of Mrs. Bebout is reported
slightly improved and the physicians
are hopeful for recovery.

feeling among these insurgents was
one of bitterest resentment over the
attitude assumed towards them.
If this is to be the manner of our
treatment for saving the republican
party" said one of them, who refused
to allow his name to be used, this
battle just ended will be followed by
another beside, which the first one
would be but skirmish
81 can speak for no one but my
self, but if this is to be our reception,
I am done. We were not towards. We
of the insurgents who cast our votes
Saturday against unseating Cannon
were the brayest men in that house.
1t took consummate courage, and it
will probably cost me my seat in con-
gress. But if we are to be met with
calumny because we sacrificed our
selves to save the house of represent
atives from chaos and disorder and to
prevent the ruin of the republican
party, then l am in favor of carrying
this war to the finish"
This member said he had talked
with one or two others of the insurg-
ent leaders who voted to save Can
non, and they were in a similar frame
Of mind.
When | read in the papers this
morning the speech which Speaker
Cannon delivered before the Illinois
association Saturday night, my blood
boiled with Indignation" said this in

ELLIS WILLIAMS CASE
IS NEXT ON DOCKET

The session of the district court was
rather uninteresting as far as the pub
lie is concerned. The whole morning
session was occupied with the hear
ing OF motions for new trials, argu-
ments on demurrers, etc. The only i'm
portant case heard was the motion of
the attorneys for Moses Riley, guar
dian, to dismiss the appeal of Eliza
Lynch ct al from the decision of the
court, refusing to dismiss Riley as
guardian of the Lynch estate. The
motion to dismiss the appeal was sus-
tanned.
The case of Ellis Williams, colored,
charged with assault with intent to
kill is on call and will probably be
taken up this afternoon.

Washington, Mar, 21.-The titanic
struggle over the speakership of the
house Of representatives, which reach
ed its climax late Saturday in the de-
struction of the speakers power in
the committee on rules and the deter
mination by the house to reconstruct
that committee, yet leaving Mr.. Can
non the speakership itself, may have
marked not so much the ending of a
three days battle as the beginning of
IA great political war. The recogni-
tion by all factions of this possibility
was the principal feature today in the
political situation in Washington.
Hardly anybody here thinks that
the condition of affairs after the mo-
mentous battle represents any salts
factory conclusion. The speaker and
his friends appear to interpret the re-
fusal of the house to depose him as
Justifying them in claiming to have
wrested victory from defeat, indorse-
ment from reputation.
Not few of the insurgents who
voted for Mr.. Cannon's retention are
wondering today if they made a poll
tical blunderl whether their anti-Can-
non constituents will not indeed hold
their retaining him in the speakership
to have nullified their vote to elimin
ate him from the rules committee.
The republican regulars compla-
Gently claim that the insurgents who
voted for the speaker have returned
to the party fold. The democrats
taunt these insurgents with having
been recreant to the logic of their in
surgency. Nobody seems entirely hap
py about the outcome Even in the
senate the regulars are apprenhansiye
lest the insurgent confagration may
be about to spread to that house; the
insurgent senators are wondering
whether they have made the most of
their opportunities.
Speaker Cannon's defiant speech
Saturday night before the Illinois Re
publican association, in which he con.
denounced the insurgent
members of the house who stood by
him in the final test, as "cowardly
members of congress without the cour-
age of their convictions" has cut to
the quick those men who responded
with their votes to what they say they
believed to be their duty to the party
and to the country and saved him
from utter annihilation Sunday, the

STATEWIDE STRIKE MONDAY.
Believe That Only Obstacle Now Is
Disposal of Discharged Men.

Philadelphia, Mar. 19.-Nothing de-
finite having been accomplished by
the several conferences held by per-
SONS interested in trying to bring a
settlement of the street car mems
strike, the committee of ten announc-
ed last night that e. E. Greenawalt,
president of the state federation of
labor, viii call the statewide strike
Monday. The labor leaders an
nounce that they already have receiv-
ed assurances that Pittsburg, Erie,
Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, as well as
a number of other points in the state,
win join in the movement.
Although State Senator Wolf, vice
president of the Rapid Transit com
pany, announced that as far as their
company was concerned the strike
was over, and that it was standing
pat" 1t is believed the only obstacle
between the men and the company
is the disposal of the 17S men whose
discharge precipitated the waIkout.
The city council at its meeting yes
terday refused to receive resolution
calling for arbitration of the street
car troubles which two of the members
tried to introduce.

CONTRACT FOR NEW
SCHOOL IS SIGNED
The Sale of the Fifty-Three Lots Is All
That Remains to Be Done to
Secure New School.

The committee appointed by the
Commercial Club to make contract
with ]. C. Olson to establish a Mill.
tary school and business college at
Vinita through J. A. Wise and others
has closed up the matter and has a
contract signed by which Mr.. Olson
agrees to spend not less than ten
thousand dollars on ground and build
ings and assured the committee that
he expected to spend fifteen thousand
dollars before January 1st, 1911. He
expects to make the military school
the leading feature and is now work
ing ON catalogue to get out by June
LIST, 1910 He expects to start with
one hundred and fifty military stu
dents and if this school is established
on the broad lines indicated by Mr..
Olson it will be the pride of Okla
homa and Vinita will be better adyer-
tised on account Of it than anything
that has yet come to us.
The drilling of the students on the
streets of Vinita will inspire the in
habitants as nothing else could do
and will attract people to come here
and reside to place their sons in this
school, and will add financial prestige
and tone to our little city as nothing
else could do.
Prof. Olson has agreed to do his part
and he is a substantial business man,
being director in one of the banks at
Parsons and prosperous citizen with
plenty of money back of him to carry
forward any enterprise he undertakes.
The people of Vinita are fortunate in
getting him headed this way and it
is up to us to secure this institution
by purchasing fifty three lots, which
are adjacent to and near the college
grounds.
These lots are to be sold at $4,000
each with a cash payment of $4,000
and a note for $4,000 payable $1,000
per month until paid out. With this
school established these lots ought
to be worth more than the purchase
price. The money paid on these lots
up to September LIST, 1910, is all to
be held in the bank until the school
opens September 1st and if the i'm
on the ground and build
ngs are not made the money and note
shall be returned to the purchasers
)f the various lots.
A safe and splendid contract has
been entered into. Mr.. j. A. Wise will
call upon the citizens with note and
contract. To enable Vinita to secure
this school it is up to the citizens to
these lots and Mr.. Olson
wants to know by April 18th so he can
place his order for equipment.
Every business and professional
man can afford to make an invest
nent in lot to secure this school.
Let US put our shoulders to the wheel
and help Mr.. Wise to get in position
% rattfy the contract and secure this
much needed institution.

yether and we will succeed"
