Governor doesn't realize what this
means to Carl Morris. and to Flynn too. |
for that matter. Stopping the fight In
going to be a sad blow for both of
them. II looked as IL everything would
20 along SO quietly. A great arena was
being built. Negotiations with railroads
were being carried on to provide for
the accommodation Of the vast throngs
coming from Kansas City. Keokuk. Os-
csola. Sioux Fails. Jerseyville and other
great centres OF population. The print.
ers had been asked TO bid on contracts
for printing a hundred thousand re-
served seat tickets. Caterers were CON-
ins TO blows over the peanut conces-
sioh. The promo .ers were buying new
oil wells on tick. putting up their shares
Of the coming c~oln-harvest as collateral.
Carl Morris was thinking OF buying a
railroad OF his own when his share OF
the purse was put safely away In the
bank. 30 that he could be an engineer
again some day n arrange his runs
to bring him home every day In time
for dinner.
But the Governor Of OkiohomA has
knocked that all into q cooked hat. He
has even threatened to call out the mill
Tia II he needs help In stopping the night.
That's what the Governor OF California
did when Jeffries and johnson were to
. Y boxed In San Francisco. II worked
too. and the promoters had to swallow
the loss Of a couple OF hundred thou
. n dollars and move over into the
Sagebr h State.
The same thing might be the solution
In oklahoma's case. There's only one
drawback. II they moved out beyond
Oklahoma, where on earth would they
land7
