Westergaard otherwise known as
Jesse Reiner, the wrestler, will be ad-
n1itted to citizenship in the United

under a third name, that of Nels N.

this country as soon as he tells one of
the judges of the district court who
the president of the United States is,
how the laws are made, that he does
not believe in polygamy and that he is
not an anarchist.
Reimer hopes some day to be the
champion mat artist of America and
he can not well attain that title if he
is not a citizen. Hence his desire to
become naturalized. Jesse pleaded with
the clerks of the district court to keep
his intention of becoming a citizen a
secret, but to no avail.

wife became involved in a struggle
over a gun and the gun went off
wounding Mrs. Gilmore. Her arm
shows powder burns, indicating that
the shot was fired at close range.
The sheriff's office and the county
attorney are working under the
theory that Clark did not fire the
fatal shots. Yesterday morning under

physicians probed the wounds OF the

A "CLOSED" SUNDAY MAY COME

Question Is Taken Up at Revival

Against Picture Shows.

SAPULPA. Dec. 12--(SpeciaD aD-The
question of closed Sunday for many
lines is likely to result from concert
ed movement of the churches against
the picture houses keeping open Sun
day, especially in the evening.
For some time there have been
something's that bodied no good for
the show houses, but It did not take
form until the matter was presented
TO the congregation at the M. f..
church, South. where DIR. Mcintosh.
of Tulsa is holding a revival, and
where the congregation voted almost
unanimously that they were opposed
to the practice.
As a result of this action. eight pc
titions were circulated for signatures
and they are being numerously signed.
The picture men threaten retail
alton by declaring that II they close
the merchants. no matter how great
or how small. must all do likewise.
even going to the extent OF threaten
ing to stop railroad traffic. The re-
suit will probably be that the thing
will be overdone and the pendulum
will swing back further than before.
