Sheriff Thomason, County Attorney
Coppage and the county judge Of
Delaware county yesterday wired ths
governor that the situation was be-
yond the control Of the local author
ities and the state militia was vrg-
entity needed.
The new courthouse at New Jay
where the records are locked in the
safe was almost deserted by county
officials yesterday and last night 100
armed partsans Of Old Jay led by
Sam Boney, a Cherokee Indian oc'
cupied the courthouse and surround
ing buildings ready to resist with all
their force the force of 25 armed
men led by Sheriff Thomason that is
expected to attack at daybreak'
All wires out Of Jay have been cut
and it is hard to get accurate news
from the scene. Women and eAil-
dren were notified last night to leave
their homes for places of safety.
Company A Of the local national
guards had not received any official
word last night in regard to pro-
ceeding to the seat of trouble. II
would take them II hours to reach
there as Jay is located 13 miles from
the railroad and the militia would
have to march through a rough, lily
country.
Governor Cruce stated over the
telephone that if he received WORD
today that the situation was critical
frcm Judge Pichford he would send
Adjutant General Canton to the SC sle
at once to take full charge. The gov
,rnor added that although he did not
think the situation was as serious as
made out that II he did send the mill
itla It would be either the Tulsa or
Musk ogee companies.

Grove have been cut and there is no
direct communication with the seat
Of trouble.
The county records have been plac-
ed in the courthouse vault and the
combination CHI nged. 1t will be ne,-
essary to blow the safe should the
records be moved.
The present disturbances at Jay,
county seat of Delaware county, Ok
lahoma, over the removal Of the
county records from the original
town to the Creekmore addition to
the town, recalls one of the most
unique political fights in the history
of the new state, in which is embod-
led the true story of an Indians 10y
atty to his white friends.
1t dates back to the constitutional
convention before statehood and in
cludes the famous escapade of the
Wycliff boys who successfully evaded
the federal authorities for IS months
and then surrendered voluntarily af-
ter they were promised release on
bond and fair, impartial trial.
1t was one OF the most heated poll
teal contests on record.
The Wycliff brothers, Tom and
John, are Cherokee Indians. Their
aged father John Wycliff, was for
years the circuit Judge during the
territorial regime and the family was
one OF the most highly respected in
the Cherokee Nation.
In 1905 the federal authorities, un-
der the leadership of cap" White,
n deputy United States marshal, were
after the Wycliff boys for minor Of
fense. They called at the home Of
their uncle, Lewis Wycliff, while
searching for them and upon being
advised that he knew nothing Of
their whereabouts. numbers Of the
posse assaulted Lewis Wycliff by
striking him on the head with a
Winchester rifle. The officers went
to the home Of the parents OF the
Wycliff brothers and cruelty mis-
treated the father and mother be-
cause they could not tell the where
abouts Of their sons.
The news OF the brutal assault Of
their parents caused the Wycliff
boys to take to the brush" Some
time thereafter Deputy United States
Marshals Veres and Gilstrap were
killed and the wyclff boys were ac-
cused of the crime. The boys became
fugitives from Justice and secuted In
the wild Spavinaw hills for IS
months, bounded by from 80 to 80
armed possemen and pack OF blood
hounds. However. their familiarity
with the country and their INSOFAR
able friendship with the residents OF
the community enabled them to foil
the officers on every hand.
After statehood the state authori-
ties offered the Wycliff boys a far
and impartial trial and liberty on
bond and they voluntarily surrender
ed at Tahlequah. The compromise
was affected by Ed and J. Wssh-
burn and others citizens. w. j.

A MESSAGE
To Feeble Old People.

As one grows old the waste of the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil. is the ideal
strengthener and body-buiider for old
folks, for 1t contains the very ele-
ments needed TO rebuild wasting tis-
sues and replace weakness with
strength. vinol also fortifles the sys-
TEN against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice Of Alexander Hamil-
ton, over eighty years of age, once
remarked: "Vinol is a godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, I have a
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and we'll. 1t is the finest tonic
and strength-creator have ever
used"
II yinol fails to build up the
feeble old people, aud create
strength, we will return your money
