ALL CREDITORS TO
Be PAID At ONCE
Balance viii Be Turned Into Fund to
Reimburse Guaranty Fund
Affairs to Be LiquIdated.

Guthrie, Okla, May l9.-Bank Com
missioner A. NJ. Young stated yester-
day that all creditors of the defunct
Columbia Bank and Trust company at
Oklahoma City, including banks that
still have balances with the institution,
will be paid within the next five or six
days, and that the affairs of the bank
will be entirely liquidated by that
time, so far as settlement with credi-
tors is concerned.
This is made possible by the sale at
Oklahoma City Tuesday of approx
mately 100000 of assets of the bank
to the Assets Realization company of
Chicago for $300,O00 OF this amount,
$225,0O0 was realized from assets of
the Columbia bank, and $4,000 from
private assets of w. L. Norton, former
president of the instit1tion, which
turned over to the banking board and
which include oil stocks and other Sc
curities
Bank Commissioner Young stated
that after all creditors are paid, the
balance realized from the sale of as
sets to the Chicago firm will be turned
into the guarantee fund to reimburse
that fund for 100000 used in paying
depositors. Commissioner Young also
stated that he was not able at this
time to say how much Of the assets Of
the bank are left still unrealized upon,
but it is understood that about $780,
QUO still remains Of doubtful assets.
Whatever is collected from these will
also be turned into the guarantee
fund.
Members of the banking department
estimate that 100000 can be turned
back into the guarantee fund and
added to the STAT 900 recently received
from the 1910 assessment upon in
creased deposits which will give the
guarantee fund at least 100000 in
cash with 100000 of assets still re-
naming. If the courts decide the
suits brought by the surety companies
against the bank commissioner about
100000 Of this must be disgorged to
reimburse the surety companies. The
banking department estimates that a
total of about $123.OOO is still due de-
positors of the failed bank, includ-
ing $1T4,00O due to state banks.
The banking board is considering the
proposition of paying back to the con
tributing banks half of the special as
sessment levied last fall to pay deposit
tors in the Columbia Bank and Trust
company.

V|N|TA UNFRAMED in
BY TAIL Of COMET
Astral Wanderer Supposed to Be the
Property Of Mr.. HALEY May Now
Be Seen in Evening.

If there were any special phenomena
attending the brush of the earth
through the tail of Halley's comet last
night, the effect upon Vinita, was not
apparent The weather conditions
during the time of the supposed sweep
of the comets tail was almost perfect.
The only thing noticeable last night
was the slight haze that enveloped
the moon. This haze is only such as
is often seen and is generally taken
as an indication of rain.
However the fact that the earth was
passing through the tail of the comet
aroused much interest, and any un-
usual weather conditions would have
been credited to the astral wanderer,
whether he was responsible or not
The very fact of the regularity Of the
visit to the view Of the earth Of this
comet every seyenty-fve years has
naturally been matter of much study
to those in any way interested in the
movements of the bodies that pass
through the heavens
According to the calculations Of the
scientists the comet will now be visi
BILE in the western skies during the
next few weeks or until it shall have
gone beyond the observation Of man
AS the comet sets so nearly after sun
set il is not likely that it can be seen
for day or two, but probably early
Friday night.
The comet is supposed to be travel
ing about 100000 miles day Al
this pace it will not take it long to
travel distance that is incomprehens-
ible to the ordinary citizen of Vinita

SENSATION OVER
PHYSICIAN DEATH
Charge Of Mansaughter Made Against
Nowata Dentist Who Gave Friend
Antl-Morphine Injection.

Nowata, okla, May 19.-There Is
quite a sensation over the death last
Saturday afternoon Of DR.. w. w. Win
get and the subsequent arrest of DR..
Wetzel, dentist, charged with second
degree manslaughter for causing the
physicians death.
Dr. Winget, VINO had been NOR
|phine user for yegs's, was sick and
suffering intense agony last Saturday
afternoon. He and Dr. Wetzel were
great friends and he asked the latter
to give him something to ease his
pain. DR.. Wetzel gave him an injec-
ton of anti-morphine medicine and
Or. Winget died in few moments.
The death occurred about 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon and DR.. Wetzel
was arrested in the evening. He gave
bond in the sum of $4,000.
Dr. Winget was one of the most
widely known physicians In this sec.
tion. He was Al years old and had
been married but three weeks to Mrs
George Coulter. proprietor of the cor
|ner boarding house. DR.. Wetzel also
boarded there and all concerned were
the greatest of friends. The senti-
ment of the community is with Dr.
Wetzel, as there is no motive for his
desiring to kill DR.. Wetzel The medi-
cine is said to have been the proper
one to give, but it was probably given
at the wrong time. 1t is also prob
able, too, that the dentist had no
legal right to prescribe or administer
the dose, but gave only as friendly
act.
Dr. WetzeI had been in Nowata only
a short time, having previously resided
at Wellington and Bartlesville.

the responsibilities of the office and
carried them forward with marked
success and ability He is familiar
with every detail, he knows the duties
of the office, he has been tried and
found to be thoroughly competent,
honest, trustworthy and efficient.
Shall faithful public service be re-
warded? If the democracy of this
state is desirous Of rewarding one
who has ever upheld the banners of
the party, who has worked consistent
ly and conscientiously to render that
service to the public which is deserv-
ing 6 Of Of tioI If efficiency
and thorough familiarity with the re-
sponsibilities and duties of the Office
count for anything, if the qualifica-
tions Of honesty, integrity and bust
ness ability are wanted by the taxpay-
ers of Oklahoma. in Leo Meyer of
Beckham county the democracy will
find just such man.
A vote for Leo Meyer at the August
primaries will be vote of apprecia-
ton Of the services of loyal and
faithful public official who has made
good ADV.

TO IMPEDE TRAIN SERVICE

Guthrie, Okla, May 19.-Wellston's
petition for stopping of fast trains on
the Frisco was turned down by the

that such stops would interfere with
the schedule of the road for long dis

sufficient train service for town of
its size. It is Lincoln county town

stopping Of fast trains each way every
day was made by the commercial club.

sion to order an overhead crossing
near the city limits. There are many
tracks in the neighborhood and the
present crossings are declared made
