A FARMER SHONE
BLOWN 70 PIECES
ALVIN CIRCUIT AND WIFE ES-
CAPE, HOWEVER, BY HAN-
ING RETURNED LATE.
PLOT CAREFULLY PLANNED
Occurs Southeast of Tulsa--ClrCum-
stantial Evidence Is Furnishing
the Only Clues.

Like a bolt of thunder, a charge of
dynamite exploded under the founda-
tions of the home Of Alvin Orcutt,
near Tulsa. Sunday night and one
more crime was added to the list of
dynamlting depredations that have oc-
Cured in Tulsa and adjacent coun-
ties during the past year.
No one saw the persons place the
dynamite. No one saw the match ap-
piled to the fuse that four minutes
later mechanically exploded the dyna-
mite. As Alvin Orcutt and his young
Wife stepped on the threshold Of an
outer door at o'clock, a deafening
explosion rent the air. Orcutt was
stunned for a moment. Furniture in
the house was shattered. The build
ing shook as though from an earth
quake. one room was blown away
from the rest of the building Most
of the roof fell in. The dynamite HAD
been placed under the floor where
a bed had sat until a few days ago.
That the dynamiters intended to car
ry out their deed at time when Or
cutt and his wife were in bed was an
evident fact.
Expected to Catch Slecpers.
The county authorities and detec-
tives are working on the case. Cir
cumstantial evidence Is being locked
up, and 1t is possible that some ar
rests will be made. The whole plot
was carefully laid and carried out.
That the person who placed the dyna-
mite drove from Tulsa to the Orcutt
home, six miles southeast of the city,
in a steel-tired buggy, was indicated
by the imprint of the buggy wheels in
the road near the home.
The bed in which the CIRCUITS were
supposed to be sleeping. was COM
pletely wrecked by the explosion. Had
the explosive been discharged a few
minutes later two deaths would prob
ably have been the toll.
The house was located on the farm
of VIII Orcutt. Alvin Orcutt, who
was married few weeks ago, had
been living there, pending the ter
mination of civil suit in the local
courts affecting the title of the adja-
cent farm, owned by Alvin Orcutt.
Similar Occurrence Last Year
Last year the home OF Hermann
Steinbuchel, a wealthy land owner
near Bxby, was dynamited in a SIM
liar manner. Several arrests were
made, and Stienbuchel claimed that
persons interested in a title suit In
connection with one of his farms,
were responsible for the deed The
cases are still pending.
1t Is not thought that Sunday
nights dynamiting had any connec-
ton with the recent depredations of
the Dynamite Dips" a band OF night
riders in the Usage nation, who have
blown up several houses, for black
mail and revenge.

All Make Good Candidates.
Judge John ]. Henderson has been
making "A quiet dignified canvass
among the professional men of the
city, and his candidacy rather divides
the support OF Simmons, but just to
what extent, 1t is difficult to forecast.
He may show up with more strength
than has been presumed. He has been
a consistent, hard working republican
and has no criticism or opposition Of
a positive or Notive character. He
has conducted his own canvass and
may develop stronger following
through the silent vote than has been
accorded him by the political connois-
seurs.
John II. simmons got into the race
late and II is known that he was
rather forced into it, not through any
special opposition to other candidates,
but on the grounds that being a busi-
ness man and large property owner
and taxpayer, 1t was felt that his can
didacy would appeal to the property
owners who are laboring under bur-
den of excessive taxes. Simmons is
perhaps the heaviest taxpayer on eth
or ticket for any office and has had tho
support of business interests among
republicans, In addition to a consld-
cradle following in the republican or
ganization. 1t has been contended
that the members Of the city commit
tee have been supporting him some-
what stronger that either Frye or
Henderson, but he has been making
an active personal canvass.
Republican Relations Cordial.
No serious split has been created
in the republican ranks IN the mayor
atty fight, and II Is generally believed
that the rivalry over the nomination
will strengthen the ticket rather than
weaken 1t. and that a strong organi-
zation and a vigorous campaign will
be put up after the primaries today.
The relation between the three candi-
dates has been cordial, honest and
frank. Each is making as hard fight
as possible and indulgng in no mud
singing or vicious and lnvidious war;
fare.
on the democratic side there is an
intense rivalry over the mayoralty,
and during the past week 1t has set
tied down to q well defined line. Char
