To Test Validity Of Warrants.

Oklahoma City, Sept. 27.-The state
probably will bring suit to test the
question of whether the state or in
dividual holders of the alleged spurious
warrants said to have been issued by
a former employe of the state auditors
office, shall stand the loss. Up to the
present time the holders Of these war
rants have not brought suit to force
their payment by the state although
the treasurer has stopped payment up
on them.
The auditor discovered $4,000 of
warrants which he disputes that have
been issued against funds Of the agri-
cultural and mechanical college at Still.
water This money already has been
spent. 4 Saltwater bank has furnish
ed the money and now the board is
asking the auditor to issue warrants
to pay this Indebtedness.
Auditor Meyer, however, is unwill-
ing to issue these warrants until the
question is settled, whether the state
must pay the $4,000 of warrants drawn
against this fund, alleged to be spur
ious.

Denver, Col, Sept 27.-"He spat in
my face and called me the vilest name
a man can call woman, was the rea-
son Mrs. Gertrude Gibson Patterson
gave yesterday for killing her husband,
Charles A. Patterson, formerly Chi
cago broker, here Monday. Her attor-
neys, it is learned, will offer "tempor-
airy insanity, the result Of long abuse
and final insult" as q defense.
A Chicago firm has instructed a
prominent Denver lawyer to defend
Mrs. Patterson which fact is taken to
suggest that Emil Strouss, the Chicago
millionaire manufacturer, whom Pat
terson recently sued for alienation of
his wifes affections, may have come
to her assistance,
Mrs. Patterson yesterday told her
counsel that three months after her
marriage Patterson sold her for trip
to Europe. The consideration. she said,
was $1,5O0, and was paid to Patterson.
She charges that Patterson urged her
to resume these relations when they
became short of money; that she sup
ported him by keeping boarders in Chi
cago, and that Patterson repeatedly
abused and beat her when she failed
to give him money
These declarations are refuted by
statements made by Patterson to his
attorneys while preparing to contest
the divorce action begun by his wife,
who alleged cruelty on his part.
Mrs. Patterson yesterday declined to
state whether her husband fired the
first shot, but added:
"I have evidence in my husbands
own handwriting that will undoubtedly
clear me before a jury"
She said she went to see Patterson
Monday to get him to dithdraw his
suit against Emi Strouss.
This he agreed to do if | would sign
over to him my Denver home and GER
tain Chicago property she said, but
/ refused. That's how the quarrel start

blackmail Strouss, who was my friend,
and had come to my assistance when

Court Must Pass on PardOns.


Oklahoma City, Sept. 27.-Suit VIII
probably be instituted to test the legal
ity Of the parole issued by Acting Gov
ernor McAlester in favor of Nelson
Hawkins then serving forty years in
the penitentiary for manslaughter. Gov
ernor Cruce yesterday declined to is
sue a fugitive warrant for Hawkins
arrest, and indicated that he preferred
to have the court act in the matter.
The parole was issued by Acting
Governor McAlester after Governor
Cruce entered the state returning from
the east, and it is the contention of
attorneys that the formers action was
not legal Hawkins was sentenced

FIVE KILLED IN PITCHED
BATTLE WITH OUTLAWS

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 27-Five
are dead as a result of pitched battle
between officers and several negroes
near Dumas, Ark, Tuesday afternoon.
The officers were trying to arrest sew
eral negroes, when the latter opened
fire.
Sheriff w ID. Preston of Desha coun-
ty and Deputy Sheriff Barney Steil of
Little Rock are the dead whites.
When the posse, headed by Preston
and Stiel. approached the home of Lee
and Charles Malpass, the men wanted,
the former opened fire, killing the sher-
iff. Stiel returned the fire, killing the
negro and in turn Suel was shot to
death by Charles Malpass Another of
the posse then killed the last named
negro.
Charles Malpass, Sr., was wounded
badly If the elder Malpass survives
it is probable that he will be lynched
and like fate may overtake the moth
er if she is caught.

THOUSANDS HERE
TO ATTEND SHOW
Largest Crowd Ever Seen in Vinita-
Show Late in Arriving on Long
Trip From Springfield.
From Wednesdays Daily

From Wednesdays Daily
One of the largest crowds that has
ever visited Vinita was that here to-
day to see the Barnum & Bailey circus
Yesterday evening the throng began
to assemble, and this morning the
throng became a seething mass of hu-
manity. Farmers and their families
came from thirty and forty miles
around; hundreds of the people of the
neighbOring towns are here; every in
coming train added its quota to the
rapidly increasing crowd. 1t is esti-
mated that at least 10000 people were
on the streets.
While the streets were jammed with
people, there was not the slightest dis
order Indeed it is a pleasure to see
such an assemblage of good citizens.
The show was late in getting in and
many who came miles to see the pa
rade and circus were able to see an
other interesting feature of the shows
visit, the unloading of the circus from
the trains The show was at Spring
field, Mo, yesterday and the long trip
threw them late in here, The first
train arrived at about 1850 o'clock and
the others followed at intervals of
about half hour.
Late yesterday the circus twenty
four hour man decided to make the ex-
hibit just south of the city limits in
stead of the College Addition as was
at first planned. This afternoon
throng is witnessing the first perform

MONNET CRITICIzES STATE
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

Norman. Okla, Sept 27-ln his an
nual address at the formal opening of
the University of Oklahoma for the
school year, Acting President Julien c.
Monnet Thursday morning severely
arraigned the present educational sys-
tenn of the state of oklahoma before a
crowd of LOO people which packed
the university auditorium to hear the
new chief executive of the institution
outline his policy. Leaving a sick bed
to make his talk, Dean Monnett read a
mastery and convincing address which
drew the repeated applause of the
great audience and caused faculty
members and students to rush to con-
gratulate him when the exercises were
finished. Without mincing words he
declared that Oklahoma must cease the
building up of inferior agricultural and
at the expense of a great central uni
versity where all subjects were taught
He counseled conservatism in all mat
ters of education and declared that
Oklahoma would do we'll to move slow
Iy, profting by the example of the
strong states that had gone before,
making the state university the cap
stone of their admirable and eminently
successful educational systems. The
speaker made an eloquent plea against
politics in the schools and disapproved
the setting of watch on the personal
conduct of faculty members.

ACALA RESIDENT
CRUC|F|ED SUNDAY
Chamua Indians in State of Chipas
Rebel - Riot in Mexico City
Marks Return of Madero.

Mexico City Sept. 27.-Wenceslao
Franco, a resident of Acala, a small
town in the state of Chipas, was cruel
fed by the rebellious Chamula Indians,
when they sacked that place last Sun
day, according to kilograms received
by Ell Impartial last night from Tuxtla
Gutierrez, the state capital.
The story was brought to the Red
Cross headquarters by FRANCOIS wife,
and later confirmed from other sources
The woman herself had been stabbed
seven times by an Indian using a
lance, the popular weapon of the half
savage hordes.
According to the stories that have
reached Tuxtla Gutierrez, the insur-
rectos committed their depredations
in a manner most barbarious. Women
and children were slaughtered by the
mobs, one of whose leaders was a
fanatical priest. He was one of those
killed. Refugees claim the Indians
made the massacre a grewsome sight,
tossing them high into the air and
catching them on the tips of their
lances.
Semi-officially, it is stated that a
military governor, General Blanco, of
Revolutionary fame, will be sent to
Chinae to restore order
Another uprising reported last night
is that of a man called ''Nayrith" in
the territory of Tepicu Disapproba-
ton of the acts of the jefeo politico is
given as the cause of this insurrection.
He has proclaimed a new jefeo politico
in Sierra De Alica E'ilo Zepata, who
has been terrorizing the southern part
of the state of Morlos and part of
the state of Puebla, has sent letter
to General Huerta in Chietla, Puebla,
asking on what terms their surrender
will be accepted Their forces are re-
ported to have dwindled greatly in the
past few days.
Mexico City, Sept. 27.-Within few
hours after the return of Francisco l.
Madero from his speaking tour through
the south Tuesday, Mexico City again
became the scene of riots, whose
quelling by the mounted police re-
suited in two fatally wounded and fif-
teen injured. To restore order, the po.
lice were forced to charge the mobs
with sabres drawn.
Groups of manifestants had not
ceased to parade the streets and shout
"Vivas" for the returning candidate,
when the police were called upon to
disperse the rioters, gathered in the
zoealo in front of the city hall, shout
ing their demand for the resignation
of the secretary of the governor of
the federal district.
The work of the authorities accom-
plished here was repeated half an hour
later in a factory district ten blocks
away, where the same drastic methods
were employed to suppress another
outbreak of the lawlessness.
Neither of these riots had any real
political suggestion, and their origin
on the day of Madero's return was
either merely a coincidence, or due to
the fact that the thousands of mani
festants on the streets made it easy
for the leaders of the mobs to secure
recruits.

From New York

Elephant Butte, n. ~, Nov. 2O-A NJ
McBee recently received his household
goods from Artesia- A number Of Next
cans were engaged to aid the reclama-
ton drivers in loading and unloading
them On one wagon was hauled the
piano. Another heavy piece Of furut-
ture was hauled on the some wagon,
and while the men were carrying this
into the house the mules hitched to
the wagon, decided TO return to the
corral without a driver They had
gone only short distance when the
piano tumbled out Of the wagon onto
some rocks at the lower side OF the
road recently built from the cottages
to the corral near the hospital
While the piano box was broken the
piano escaped with but very few
scratches The instrument was wen
wrapped in a number Of pieces of bed
clothes. After the accident the piano
was taken out Of the box at the place
where the accident occurred and hauled
back to the house.
Late in the evening AR McBee went
out 10 carry IN the bedding, which had
eeen wrapped around theNpiano and
round that Il had been stolen. He then
proceeded to the town and in com
pany with sheriff Putnam searched the
Mexican section, but failed to locate
the missing articles
This procedure, however. proved TO
be the means Of frightening the thief
into returning his booty, as the bed
clothes were found folded on the plano
