Threatening Letters Investigated.

Guthrie. Okla. Aug 6.-She -iff
John Mahoney commenced today the
investigation of numerous threaten
ing letters received by Mrs. Williforl
a resident of Lawrie township, NORTH
of Guthrie, and attacks made upon
her life by unknown parties during
the last TWO weeks. Her son, Chas.
Wrliford. was killed in Denver May
), 1909 and for that crime a man is
serving a term in the Colorado peni-
tentiary Mahoney is working on the
idea that the attacks on Mrs Will
ford are connected in some way with
the killing of her son Several
times recently winI3ows in the Will
ford home have been broken and
revolyers snapped through the holes
thus made. The unknown assail-
ants returned last night and one OF
them was shot at several times by
another son of Mrs. Williford, bu,
they made their escape in the dark

BASEBALL CASUALTIES.
Several Deaths as Result Of Amateur
Games in Oklahoma.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 6.-The serl-
Gus injury of Joe PoindeXter of
Enid, whose skull was fractured in
a bah game at Waukomis by co
lision with another player named
Wagner. calls attention to the neayy
casualty list in Oklahoma baseball,
this year William Johnson was IN
stantly killed at Olive. small town
in Greek county by a pitched ball
thrown by William Dale. His neck
was broken. Philip Forney, who
had umpired in the Western and
Texas league and the Western AS
sociation, died at Fl Reno recently
as the result of being hit in the eye
by batted ball some three weeks
before. Arthur Houston of Tal.a-
hasa was killed at that place by

There have been no serious cas-
ualties in professional baseball in
Oklahoma to compare with those
listed above, most of which occurred
in amateur games, but even the pro
fessionals have had an unusual list
of minor injuries. The Bartlesville,

have suffered the most and have
had heavy hospital lists nearly al
season. Bartlesville was in reach
