CAMPBELL Russell
IS CALLED DOWN

Editor Chieftain In your issue of
the 7th of December, is a report of
a speech by Senator Campbell Rus
sell The senator is supporting the
resolution of Senator Thompson for
an investigation of the expenditures
of the contingent funds allowed state
officers, is reported as speaking as
follows:
Right now men are travelling
around the state organizing a lobby
TO attend the legislature, and paying
their expenses out Of the contingent
funds of one department
Mr.. Editor, do you know Senator
Russell? Is his word worthy of cred
ence, or is he merely a tradueer of
character? Does the senator not
know that he is charging a state Off
Ger with felony, and that if he is
guilty, he ought to be, and doubtless
will be, impeached, and prosecuted for
his very serious offense? Just reflect
for a moment of the senator's charge
Hight now men are travelling around
the state organizing a lobby, to attend
the legislature,
Who of us believes that an homes.
lobby, assemblies for an honest pur-
pose, and for the purpose ol lobbying
with an honest Legislature, for the
passage of an honest measure? VIII
the history of Hobbies justify us in
thinking so? If any credence can be
placed on the statement Of Senator
Russell this lobby is being formed at
state expense and for some unholy
purpose, as they seem to be unwilling
to trust the people with their secret
Or does the senator wish also To
charge that the columns of the honest
newspapers are closed to an honest
discussion of the honest needs of the
honest people of Oklahoma?
Now il the charge of Senator Rus
sell is not true nothing less than ex-
pulsion from the senate and prosecu-
ton will vindicate the character Of
our senators and state officers. What
Twill be done? READER.

Special to the Chieftain:

Special to the Chieftain;
During the past week there has been
one important business change in our
town. The firm of Wilson and Howell
has changed to Howell and Howell.
Mrs. Thomas Wilson having retired
and Mr.. Carl Howell buying her in
terest Carl will be remembered as
the former popular editor of the Welch
Watchman The Fair store has al
ways been one of the popular business
houses of our town, and we bespeak
for it under its new nagement the
same deserved reputation.
Major +. F. Mayfeld, organizer of
the boys uniform rank of Woodcraft,
made a business trip to Muskogee, vi
nita, and other points the past week
OH business ronnected with the or
ganization. The organization is grow
ing fast under the direction of Mr..
Mayfield.
Lust Il iluda anu AOoJuANag Reeo DluC-
jacket day in Vinita, about forty of
her citizens being in attendance dur
ing those two days at district court.
1t is not often that our people have
to go to the county capital to settle
their trouble.
Mrs. +. F. Mayield and son Robert,
were at Welch Saturday night attend
ing a camp eonclave of the Royal
Neighbors.
Fall plowing is in evidence this sea
son in every direction from Blue
jacket, and we suspect that the same
is true in all parts of the country. This
means added prosperity for our farm
ers next year Let the good work go
on.
Rev. J. A. Grimes, the new Metho-
dist minister has moved to his charge
at Bluejacket and will preach his first
sermon Sunday.

Best Show OF Season.

The Shepherd Of the Hills at the
Grand Saturday night, was without
question the best show that has visited
Vinita this season, and in the iudg-
ment of many is the equal of any that
has ever been produced in this city.
The cast was unusually large for a
drama and every member was a star.
The story of "The Shepherd of the
Hills" is laid in the Ozarks and is
familiar to nearly every one in Vinita.
1t is the dramatization Of the popular
book of that name and its great hu-
man interest that made the book one
of the best sellers" also makes the
drama one of unusual interest The
only regrettable thing about the show
Saturday night was that more of the
people of Vinita did not see it, This
was one of the plays that one is better
for having seen.

STATES POINT
UPHELD BUT
ACTION IS LOST
Appellate Court Dismisses Murder
Charge, Though Right to Appeal
is Sustained.

Oklahoma City, Dec. S.-Although
the state did not obtain reversal of
the action of the district court of
Kiowa county in discharging the jury
and dismissing the case against Frank
Frisbie, charged with murder, the
criminal court of appeals sustained
the right of the state to appeal in such
cases, even though jeopardy had at
tached. This ruling was made in an
opinion by Presiding Judge Furman.
J. r.. Harris was ordered released
upon his petition for writ of habeas
corpus by the criminal court of ap-
peals today in an opinion by Judge
Armstrong. He was sentenced to two
and one-half years Imprisonment for
larceny of domestic animals and
sought release through habeas corpus
on the grounds that he once before
had been placed in jeopardy under the
same Indictment The court holds
that where a person is tried on a
charge of larceny and found guilty by
the jury of receiving stolen property,
this jury action amounts to acquittal
on the larceny charge and the de-
fendant cannot be sentenced for that
offense
In affirming the conviction Of Sam
and Floyd McKinzie in Blaine county
of violation of the liquor laws the
court holds that proof of ownership
of a place of business to which large
quantities of intoxicants have been de-
livered and received by the owners
and that numberous persons have been
seen drinking and intoxicated in such
place, when accompanied with proof
of finding quantities of like intoxieants
on the premises, is sufficient to sns-
tain conviction.
In an opinion by Judge Doyle the
court affirmed the conviction of
George Odem of assault to do bodily
harm, sentenced to one year in the
penitentiary and appealed from Nc
Intosh county.

Mutt G. jeff"

A whirlwind of merriment is sweep
ing down upon Vinita and will arrive
at the Grand next Thursday. There
will be great doings Mutt and Jeff''
with their interesting family of 45
singers, dancers and comedians will
hold high jinks" for an engagement
of one night. OF course you've heard
about them. everybody has, at least
people who read newspapers. Millions
of people laugh at Bud Fishers clever
cartoons every day, so you can imagine
seeing the min real ife--hesh and
blood--is a great deal funnier than
seeing them in print Especially so
because there is a chorus of 25 un-

usually pretty girls to give color to
the entertainment, not forgetting as
sociate comedians and singers and
car load of gorgeous scenery. All in
all, Mutt and Jeff is quite the best
musical comedy of the year, Facts
and figures prove this assertion. The
largest cash receipts of the season at
the box office of the Grand Opera
House, New York City, was during
the engagement of Mutt and Jeff;
the record business of the season at
the Manhattan Opera House, New
York City was also done with Mutt
and Jeff as the attraction and the
same thing occurred at the West End
Theatre in Harlem. You will under
stand by that that Mutt and jeff"
is not essentially a road show, it's
a city show in every sense of the word.
1t is simply a cyclone of good, clean,
healthy laughter, with enhancing
music to give one a chance to get his
breath between laughs This is the
sort of entertainment tired working
people need to refresh their mind for
another day of toll All classes of
people have approved it as is shown
by the remarkable business the play
is doing from the Atlantic to the Pa
cif1c and from Canada to the Gulf of
Mexico. 1t is the real financial and
artistic musical comedy hit of the cur
rent season, therefore you must see
it when it comes to the Grand Seats
are now OH sale. Mutt and jeff has
never played to empty seats SO this
advice to get seats EARLY is justified

To begin with, it was staged under the personal di- rection of Gus Sohlke, GAd the stage has never produced d better instruc- tor in dancing than MT Sohke. Miss Jonephlne Fields and J. w.
