INSURGENTS GAIN
MUCH STRENGTH
Rumor That Haskell Would Turn
Against Oklahoma City If Putnam
City Deal is Defeated.

Oklahoma City. Okla, Nov. 3d.
Last night there was chesty feeling
among number of democratic mem
bers of the house who are mapping
out an insurgent program to defeat the
location of the capital at Putnam City,
and thereby explode bit of dynamite
under a real estate venture of some
magnitude. These insurgents declare
that the capital should be near the
center of Oklahoma City, and that
they fear possible developments that
might follow the carrying out of the
Putnam City scheme. Whatever their
reason, their number is growing and
they have risen to the dignity OF a
good sized caucus.
These insurgents declare that un-
less the Putnam City scheme is to be
thrown overheard, they will defeat
the attachment of the emergency
clause to the capital removal bill,
which might be fatal to the whole cap
ital removal enterprise Taking the
house vote on concurrence in the gov
ernor's call as a basis for the state.
ment, only few votes would have to
be changed to defeat the two-thirds
necessary for the emergency clause
The Haskell combination can hardly
afford to let insurgency reach a rank
growth.
Representative J. H. Maxey, Jr., OF
Shawnee, one of the insurgent leaders,
is drafting a capital location bill that
is intended to thwart the plans of the
Putnam City interests. A wealthy and
influential resident of Oklahoma City
was asked if the people locally
wished the capital to be at Putnam
City. He replied that perhaps 80 per
cent were opposed to It, The matter
came up at a conference of business
men a week or ten days ago in con-
nection with the calling of the special
session.
An intimation was received, how
ever, that if fight should be made on
the Putnam City location, Governor
Haskell might become unfriendly to
Oklahoma City which meant that Ok
lahoma City might lose the capitol. 1t
was decided that Oklahoma City would
rather have the capital at Putnam
City than not at all and further talk
was abandoned.

Cows and heifers gained Is to 25

commission men, in the event of heavy

More Sinks Form

Parties recently returning from bust

port the appearance of several sinks"

Gently occurred in tn, vicinity of Ala
chua Sink about two weeks ago. Five
of these indentures in Mother Earth
occurred in the immediate vicinity of
Wilcox, one of which came very near
undermining the residence of one of
the most prominent citizens of the town.
The sink appeared in the rear of the
home, and the ground disappeared to
within few of feet leading into the rear
portion of the house. The sinks" did
not reach the depth of the one near
this city however, as the majority of
them are only about twenty feet from
bank to bank, and are less than forty
forty feet in depth. There was no
warning, the ground simply disappear
ing as if by magic. The people of the
West End, or more properly speaking,
of the '.sink section" do not expect
warning before occurrences of this
character, however, as they have be.
come accustomed to them, and no ala, m
il felt over their appearance. The en-
tire phosphate or lime rock belt is
susceptible to "sink," and so long as
no one is swallowed up in their making
there is no danger of injury Detailing
anything afterward The parties Civ
ing the information concerning the
sinks in the Wilcox section state that
the indentures seem to have reached
their maximum proportion, and no dam. |
