Of CALLING
SPECIAL SESSION
Guthrie Adherents Plan to Take Case
To The Nations Highest
Court.

Guthrie, Okla, July i1.-shouId
Governor c. N. Haskell fail to win his
hight In the state courts to secure the
Immediate removal of the state de-.
partments from Guthrie to Oklahoma
City, he may, according to reliable in.
formation, call special session Of
the legislature as means Of carrying
out ais capital removal programme.
II the governor decides to invoke
Ithe Legislative department OF the state
and should succeed In getting reso-
Tuition through the legislature confirm
ing his action in removing to Okla
homa City and attempting to take the
capital with him with an injunction
pending against such removal, the
chief executive would succeed in ar.
raying the legislative and executive
branches OF the state government
against the judicial. which would
|create an embarrassing and almost un-
|precedented situation.
It has been suggested by well
known attorney that in case the state
supreme court should refuse to grant
the writ of prohibition, thereby send
ing the case back to the state courts,
the governor could order the state Off.
cials to remove to Oklahoma City not
withstahding the district court in juno
Ition, and in case they should be fined
or imprisoned for contempt of court
he could pardon them, thus accom-
|plishing his purpose. Such a course,
however, would be unlikely for two
reasons. State officers probably
would refuse to disregard court in
junction and If they did it would put
them in the attitude of showing dis
respect for the courts, bringing about
La direct clash between the judicial
and executive departments Of state
and producing bad moral effect.
If the writ of prohibition is granted
BY the supreme court Guthrie attor-
neys will apply Immediately for IA
supersedeas to make the injunction
binding. pending an appeal to the SUI
preme court of the United States, and
also would institute other proceedings
in the state courts for the purpose Of
getting the case up on its merits.

ROBBERS DID NOT
WANT S|LVERWARE
Work Of Burglar Who Robbed Peoples
Drug Store Has Amateurlsh
Appearance.

The Peoples Drug Store was rob-
bed Sunday night Of number Of val
liable meerschaum pipes, cigars, to-
bacco and three or four dollars in
change
The burglary was evidently the
work of a rank amateur Entrance
was gained by tearing the wire screen
off one of the rear windows of the
store. Nothing IN the store was dis
turbed besides the cigar and pipe
case and the two money drawers.
The cash of the store is kept in two
National cash registers. one for the
soda fountain and the other for the
drug department Each night small
amount Of change is left in the regis
ter. The robbers took all of the
money left in the register for the
soda fountain. but evidently rifed
the other drawer in haste for several.
dimes were undisturbed while all of
the quarters and nickies were miss
ing this morning.
The officers were notified Of the
robbery but no trace could be found
to lead to their or his capture The
fact that several hundred dollars
worth Of silverware was untouched
gives the work the appearance Of an
amateurs.

ROBBERS BLOCKED
BY CREWS TRICK
Three Masked Bandits HoIdup Katy
Flyer Near St. Louis Early Sun
day Morning.

St. Louis, Mo-, July l1s-The Mis-.
souri,, Kansas & Texas Southwestern
Flyer No. 3, was held up one mile
south OF Larimore, st. Louis county,
at 1880 o'clock Sunday morning by
three masked bandits. Two boys
were arrested Sunday and are being
held pending investigation Engineer
Quinn took desperate chance and
played trick on the highwaymen that
prevented the baggage car and pas
senger coaches from being robbed.
The bandits compelled the engineer
and fireman at the point Of revolvers
to descend from the cab and go with
them to the baggage car to assist
them in uncoupling It. That much Of
it was Just the old,old story.
While tinkering about the coupling,
the engineer and fireman saw no one
was paying any particular attention
to them, SO they slipped away in the
darkness. They started on run for
the cab. The bandits soon became
aware that the crew was dashing for
the cab and fired dozens Of shots
The engineer and fireman ran just a
trife faster. Springing into the cab,
the engineer threw the throttle open
and the train moved off.
Five miles further on, at Spanish
Lake, Quinn rang up o. G. Hill, yard
master Of the St. Louis, Keokuk &
Northwestern in st. Louis, and in mat
ter of fact tones told him the details
of the robbery He omitted only the
heroism of himself and the fireman.
Later, when the police of the Angelica
Street station made an investigation
the great courage displayed by Quinn
and his assistant was learned
Many shots were fired in the at
tempted holdup, and the passengers,
who filed five coaches, were badly
frightened. The train was in the
hands of the bandits forty minutes.
For half an hour they tried on their
own accord to uncoupIe the baggage
car. 1t was not until they found them
selves unable to do the work that
they got the engineer and fireman.
According to Katy officials here
there were thousands of dollars in the
baggage car, in addition to the mail.
which was unusually heavy for the
st. Louis-Houston run.
The Katy flyer does not stop at Lari-
more, but between that station and
Spanish Lake, the next stop, it travels
slowly. The NJ, K. & T. uses the
tracks of the st. Louis, Keokuk &.
Northwestern road for twenty-five
miles out of st. Louis.
The three men, armed and masked,
used a red lantern to stop tie train.
Leaving the engineer and firemen un-
guarded, the three went to the bag
gage car The purpose was to un-
couple it and compel the engineer to
pull out after leaving the mail car and
coaches to be looted From the de-
scription given by the engineer, it ap-
pears that the three bandits were

RAINFALL PRACTICALLY
ASSURES BUMPER CROP

A heavy rain fell last night over
the entire eastern portion of Oklahoma
and southern Kansas. and in many
places has made bumper corn crop
certainty. Growing corn has made
great advance during the hot days
of the last few weeks and the rain last
night supplied moisture enough to
mature the corn in many fields, How

insure a good crop.

ment was heard today in the federal
circuit court in the case of the rail-
roads appeal from the decision OF
Judge Morrow in enjoining the South
ern Pacific, Santa Fe and Salt Lake
roads from increasing the rate on
lemons and other citrus fruits from

Judges Gilbert, Hansford and VOL
verton, sitting en- banc, heard the con-
tentions of both sides, and an early
decision will be rendered.
Attorney u. t. Clotfelter, represent
ing the railroads, argued that the
court had stepped outside of its Juris-

that it was a matted properly to be
heard In an adjustment of rate sched-
ules before the interstate commerce
commission.
Joseph Call and Asa f. Call Of Los
Angeles appeared for the lemon grow
ers. They were of the opinion the
court had acted well within its rights
prescribed by law and that 1t had rem
dered a Just decision when it enjoined

PUGILIST WINS A
BRIDE AND RICHES
FORMER BOXER BECOMES HUS-
BAND OF RICH GIRL
Wedding Is Consummation of Desire
of Prosperous Miner Who Wished
Daughter to Have Happy
Married Life

From the prize ring into fortune
was the experience of Bert Wells when
Justice John w. Summerfield married
him to pretty Miss Nellie Hughes OF
535 South Main street Wednesday
night.
The wedding itself was unpretcn-
tious, in fact the young couple desired
to have it kept secret. When Justice
Summerfield, all ready to retire for the
night, was called on to perform a
marriage ceremony, he didn't know he
was about to weld the last link in a
chain of romance and incidentally shift
a quarter of million dollars from the
former bank book of mine owner
to the account of the happy couple who
stood before him.
A strange story surrounds the mar
riage of Nellie Hughes and Bert Wells.
1t was hinted at in the will of her
father, James Hughes, who was shot
to death by a Piute Indian in Nevada
last July.
James Hughes held a partnership in
rich free milling ore properties four
miles from Goldheld. w. w. Coffin, a
physician and surgeon of Goldfeld,
was associated with him. Hughes made
a will under which his daughter, Mel
lie who lives with her mother in this
city, was to become heir to his share
of the property at MS death, provided
she married. He knew young Wells
and liked him, but in his viii he made
no attempt to mold his daughters 3
choice.
Stipulation Made
Hughes, further to assure a happy
married life for his pretty daughter,
stipulated that certain parts of the
properties should not be operated by
Coffin until his daughter. after her
marriage, should sign off her claim.
So Wednesday night, Miss Hughes
and her sweetheart. accompanied by
Dr. Coffin and Nellie's mother, bun
died into an automobile and were
whirled to the home of Justice Sum-
merfieid.
The possession Of a fortune, duly
transferred to them by the doctor
caused them much delightful confusion
so much so that they couldn't decide
where to go on their honeymoon. The
fact that they could go around the
globe in a private yacht if they wanted
to simply made it impossible to dis
cuss any one trip for more than ten
seconds. Nellie thought she would like
