DECISION EXPECTED IN
COLUMBIA BANK CASE


Guthrie, Okla, Sept. IS. - While
there has been no announcement on
the part of members of that body 1t
is understood that the state supreme
court will render its decision today
In the famous mandamus case brought
by State Examiner and Inspector
Chas. A. Taylor to require the bank
commissioner. E. B. Cockrell to open
the books and records of the defunct
Columbia Bank & Trust company to
inspection. Taylor's object in seeking
access to these records was to com
pletely check up the state depositor's
guaranty fund.
Should the court render an opinion
granting the demand of the state ex-
aminer it is probable that Mr. Taylor
will commence checking UP the Okla
homa City bank at once.
Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday
have been set for arguments on the
state capital case, They viii require
at least day and half probably
more. Attorneys for the respective
parties will be the same as in former
hearings Of the case.

ALL IS READY FOR
ATHLETIC MATCH
First Wrestling And Strength Exhibi-
tion in vinita Gives Promise of
Being Great Success.

Farmer Burns, the grand old man
of the wrestling game with his troupe
Of performers arrived in the city this
morning from Joplin, and win give an
exhibition at the Auditorium tonight
Farmer" Burns holds an enviable
place of the sport loving people OF
the whole nation. He is regarded as
the premier wrestler of his day and
one Of the best trainers in physical
culture in the world. While he is
getting on the shady side of life, he
is still a wonderful man and those
who miss the exhibition tonight will
miss something they will regret. 1t
is not often that such "big ones" show
in the smaller towns of the country
and the sport lovers will no doubt en-
brace this opportunity.
In the troupe with Farmer Burns
are two other men OF great note and
ability in the sport world Oscar Was
sem, a wrestler of national fame will
be Burns opponent on the mat tonight
Wassem will be remembered by many
Vinita sports as the wrestler whom
DR.. Roller failed to throw in the al
loted time at Tulsa last June. Was
sem says he can win from Roller and
is now after a match with the Kan
sas City man.
The other man Of the troupe is Prof.
Simmer, the strongest man in the
world, according to his claims, and he
offers the opportunity to all comers
to prove that he is not The great
iron dumb bells which he uses in his
stunts were on exhibition today and
many enjoyed the privilege of trying
to lift them. This feature Of the show
tonight will be worth seeing.
This is the first exhibition of this
kind ever staged in vinita and upon
the attendance and success of the
card tonight will depend largely the
city's future as a sport town. Oscar
Wassem said this morning that the
town looked good to them and said
that he thought II clean contests only
were tolerated that vinita would prove
one Of the best towns for athletic con-
tests in the state. but he said II fake
cards were allowed he felt that they
would prove failure and it is about
a hundred to one shot that Wassem's
prediction will come true. The at
tendance at tonight's performance is
expected to astonish even the san.
guine of the sport followers.

|AAGEL FOR SUPREME COURT
IS WASHINGTON GOSSIP

Washington, D. G.. Sept l3-The
name Of Secretary of Commerce and
Labor Charles Nagel has replaced
that of the late solicitor general,
Lloyd w. Bowers, in the gossip of
Washington regarding the expected
appointments to the present and pros
pective vacancies In the supreme court
of the United States. It had been
taken for granted that Mr.. Bowers
would be appointed to one Of them.
In the absence from Washington Of
both President Taft and Secretary
Nagel, the subject must remain one
of gossip.
The more apparent substance is
given to the mention of Mr.. Nagel be-
cause he halls from the Eighth cir
cult. which, although it embraces
thirteen states west of the Mississippi
has been without a representative on
the supreme bench since the death of
Justice Brewer, who was from Kan
sas. With the death of Mr.. Bowers
and the supposed impracticability in
existing circumstances of the eleva-
tion of Judges Sanborn, Van De Van
ter Hook and Adams of the circuit
court, all of whom, though mentioned
at various times for promotion, have
passed upon the pending Standard Oil
case, the rumors regarding Mr.. Nagel
become decidedly worthy of attention.

Struggle.

Alva, Okla, Sept. 1s.-Arthur Cor
nish, young man % years old, was
arrested Sunday for the murder Of Joe
Vineyard, who was found covered with
debris in his bed in an old dugout in
which he had lived for years. Cornish
has confessed to the killing and claims
It was done in self-defense.
From his story dramatic scene
must have been enacted in the old
mans howell Cornish had rented one
OF the dead mans farms and owed him
! two past due notes. While passing the
dugout Cornish was called into the
house by Vineyard and told he must
raise the money. This Cornish con-
sented to do, but told the old man that
ne proposed to have pay for the dam
age Vineyards stock had done to his
crops while allowed to run at large
which the old man would not consent
to. This started a quarrel and Vine.
yard, Cornish says, tried to strike him
with singletree, but the boy avoided
the blow. The old man, he says. then
threw a clevis and missed. the weapon
striking a post In the dugout, breaking
into two pieces. This weapon the
sheriff foun dand thus far Cornish's
statement is corIoborated.
The youth says he then pulled his
revolver and shot the old man four
times. He claims to have no recollec.

and on his way from the house lost the
revolver The weapon was picked up
by the neighbors and this was recog-
nized as one that Cornish had tried to
sell some time ago. This led to in
quiry, and when interviewed by the
officers Cornish confessed.
The old hovel in which the miser
lived shows that a desperate battle
had taken place. The stove was
Knocked down and one chair was
broken, and there Is DO doubt IN the
minds Of people who knew him that he
would have killed the young man In
the scuffle- While Vineyard has never
been accused OF assault or had any
personal encounters, yet he was arrest
ed at one time for misusing a eirI of
the neighborhood and was defended at
that time by Jesse Dunn, who now is
the chief justice Of the supreme court.
and was acquitted.
Investigation into his affairs shows
that Vineyard has distributed in vari-
GUS banks close to 100000 in cash. He
lived in the aeyerest poverty and had
not clothes enough in the hut in which
he lived to bury him. He practically
lived with the people who were indebt-
ed to him. He would go from place to
place and remain with the people
against whom he held mortgages until
he was ready to make collection
from some one else. and while eating
their food and enjoying the hospitality
of their homes scoffed at the idea of
paying for the accommodation.
The young man charged with his
murder enjoys good reputation aud
