ORIGIN OF FIRES
REMAINS UNKNOWN
Vinita Has Two Small Fires That Cir
cumstances Lead to Belief in
Incendiarism.

Vinita experienced two more fires
last night and the circumstances sur
rounding them point strongly toward
incendiarism as the origin.
The first fire was about midnight
at the residence of A. A. Quinn on
North Second street. No one has been
able to determine how this fire started
The house, five or six room struc-
ture was partially destroyed, the darn
age being estimated at about $500.
In order to reach this fire the depart.
ment was compelled to string hose a
distance of 625 feet and while this
hose was still laid the second alarm
was sounded. This fire was in the
barn of Sheriff H. e. Ridenhour on
South First street. Here again a long
string of hose was required to reach
the blaze and then only one stream
could be played on the fire, which had
gained so much headway that It was
impossible to prevent the complete
destruction of the barn and contents.
In addition to the barn, which was
worth about $500, Sheriff Ridenhour
lost three or four tons of hay, valued
1t probably $50 and two good saddles.
The sheriff would not commit him
self but it was evident that he beIiev-
ID this fire to have been of incendiary
'rigin. There was no lightning and
he barn was locked SO that it was i'm
'ossible for a tramp to have gone in
here to sleep. The fire started about
midway of the barn and the hay burn
d SO rapidly as to make it impossible
0 save any of the contents of the
arm.

Oklahoma City, Feb. 2S.-After a

motion by Charles Barrett of Shawnee
to indefinitely postpone the public util-
tiles bill, one of the state-owned rail-

1t was made certain Monday that

BERGER S0WS MILLET ON
LAWN AND IS CHAMPION

The belt as champion amateur land
scape gardener ard lawn maker has
been awarded to A. B. Berger by mu-
tual consent. Whether he is really
entitled to this belt the writer cannot
state, but if the story told on him is
true, he is entitled to the belt without
struggle. According to these friends,
Berger intended to have a nice lawn
OF bluegrass and clover.
Accordingly he purchased blue grass
and clover seed with which to seed
the lawn. His wife is chicken fan
cier and had purchased some millet
seed for her chickens. A few days
ago Berger decided to hasten home
and SOW the seed. When he reached
home he found the millet seed and pro-
ceeded to mix that with the clover
and blue grass and now expects to
show his neighbors his splendid lawn
when the millet comes up. Better
not ask Berger about this.

The surprise was that although all

SAID the president had withheld federal
patronage from insurgent senator's. but

brought into the limelight. On prev

mad threatened to read the letter. but
until last night no public reference
had been made to it.
Mr. Borne opened his speech bv a
discussion Of the Oregon law. He said
that when these laws are enacted bv

Senator Crawford held the floor from
1918 o'clock last night 70 6:1S this

succeeded in obtaining a recess until

vened at IL, Senator Bristow arose to
resume his speech but yielded to Sen

caucus. Money made ah appeal for
the abandonment Of the filibuster and
moved the senate adjourn until 1850,
thus concluding the legislative day,
February 27. This the senate did at

way, and the contract for grading the
roadbed between Arkansas city and
Wichita was let during the past week
to M. Tansey, a contractor of San
