quent Victim.

Tulsa, Okla, Oct t0--The hands of
yeggmen were again laid upon the
First State bank OF keystone, Okla,
at o'clock yesterday morning, with
telling effect. 1t was the second sue
cessful robbery of that institution
within the past year and a half, and
the third attempt.
Yeggmen entered the bank at an
early hour yesterday morning and at
3 o'clock three nitro-glycerine explo-
sions were heard by residents of the
town. The door of the bank safe was
blown open and the robbers making
away with $4,000 in cash, according to
reports that reached Tulsa. A farmer
is said to have seen five men, riding
horseback, away from the scene of
the robbery. They were headed toward
ITulca.
Every window in the bank building
was broken by the explosions and the
interior of the room was badly de-
molished.
On May %, last, the bank was rob-

taken.

known character, who had lived near
Collinsville prior to that time, rode up

BULL MOOSE
TURN SOCIALIST

Oklahoma City, Oct. 10.-The Bull
Moose campaign in this state, from the
speeches delivered this week in differ
ent parts of Oklahoma, seems likely to
take an entirely new departure from
this time on emphasizing the socialis-
tic phases of the Third Term program,
the purpose evidently being to catch
the big socialistic vote in this state.
Nels Darling, speaking on the street
Tuesday night was the first Bull
Moose orator in this city to follow the
big Bull Moose on September 24th, and
large proportion of his speech sound
ed very like the trades of Debbs and
Berger. He defantly expressed his
contempt for the constitution of the
United States, and repeatedly referred
to it as the ox-cart constitution He
endorsed Berger's bill for its repeal
in to.
His discussion of the tariff was also
a wide departure from the plan evi-
IDENTIFY framed up by the republican
and Bull Moose leaders in this state.
Mr.. Darling also entirely ignored state
affairs. Instead of joining in what has
heretofore appeared to be the plan to
create a free trade scare, Mr. Darling
went the democrats one better and
lpredicted that the time would soon
come when there would be no tariffs
Ilevied by this country ON any manu-
lfactures whatever. He advocated a
graduated income tax, and gradual
ed inheritance tax, and said that these
taxes should be made so high that
they would provide ample revenue fol
the government so that tariff taxes
even for revenue would be unneces
sary. Mr. Darling also denied mos
emphatically the reported deal be
tween the Bull Moose leaders and tht
Harris -McGuire-M Morgan machine. HI
J declared that the Bull Moose party il
this state is concerned only for th'
election of the nine men on the repub
: Ilican presidential electoral ticket, who
: he says, stand pledged to vote 70
Theodore Roosevelt for president
Beyond this, he said, the Bull Moos'
organization has no interest whateve
in any candidate for congress or an,
: local office. Bull Moose followers, HI
declared, were entirely free to maxi
their own selections in the places OF
the state, congressional and loca
! tickets.
The speech was principally devote'
to discussion of industrial problems
and the Third Term plan for creatinl
an industrial commission to legaliz
i and control monopoly was strongly ad
lvocated.

James Tyner were coming to town
from their farm near Miles they were
overtaken by hail and rain storm,
accompanied by high wind that up
set the buggy and blew them all
through a three wire fence, severely
drenching them, but doing little other
harm. The bail was beating so hard
on the horses that they were only too
glad to stop. No other damage was
done. The storm caught them near
the Cabin creek bridge about three
miles northwest of town.

Houtson criticizes NorvelI For Hiring
Drunkard as an officer.

Tulsa, Okla, Oct. 10.--John Prich-
ard, old residtnt of Tulsa county, and
member of the liquor raiding force of
Woodson Noryell and Denny Jones,
was tried in the municipal court here
yesterday morning on charge of
drunkenness.
The evidence introduced in the case
showed that Prichard was intoxicated
last Saturday and Sunday, when he
went on a rampage. A. j. Slade, a
groceryman at First and Lansing
streets, testified that Prichard had
pulled a revolver on him and threat
Iened to make him kiss the sidewalk. "
Prichard said that he was told by
his chief Saturday night to go and
dig up some evidence against several
joints. He went into a place near the
Midland Valley depot bought drink
of whiskey, which the drank and was
then asked by the proprietor to have
one on him."

ard, Il became frightened and sus-

whiskey that was offered to me-

Prchard said he had only hazy
recollection of future happenings, his

sition by stating that it was hard t.

CROPS
BREAK RECORDS
Crop Report For October Shows Most
BountifuI Grain Yfeld--Farmers
Given Help.

Washington, Oct 9.-Never before
have the great cereal crops of the
United States been so bountiful as
those of this year. Records of pro-
|duction for almost every cereal have
been surpassed, in some instances by
millions of bushels.
The October crop report of the de-
partment of agriculture, issuded today,
shows that spring wheat, oats, barley,
rye and hay all have exceeded the best
record productions, while the crops of
corn and potatoes from present indi-
cations also will be the greatest ever
when harvested
Speaking of this great showing made
by the country's farmers, James Will
son, secretary of agriculture, said:
"The crops are the heaviest on rec
! ord. The season has been favorable,
but some credit is due to the wide eff
forts made in late years by the federal
government and the states to help far
mers throughout the country to get
better returns from the average acre" "
Department Helps.
The world has been searched for
better plants by the department of
agriculture and it's scientists have
been creating new plants, by hybridiz-
alton, for the several localities.
! Twenty-eight million pieces of liter
ature have been sent out by the de-
lpartment in addition to the advices
from the state stations along these
lines. So the farmers have been help
ed in producing their record breaking
crops.
The features of the report are the
enormous haryests of corn, oats and
Ispring wheat. More than 3,0O0,00000C
bushels of corn, almost 1,5O00O0,00(
bushels of oats and 330,0OO,000 bushels
of spring wheat have been grown. The
states in the northwest are harvesting
the greatest crops ever grown there.
I
In North Dakota LAG, 6,592,000 bushels
of spring wheat. the greatest spring
wheat harvest ever grown by am
state, was produced. The yield pc
acre there was increased fro neigh
bushels last year to eighteen bushels
this year.
Oat Yield Doubles.
Iowa, with 219,7S0.OOO bushels, Hi
: nois, with S2,726,OOO bushels; Mime
! sofa, with 122,9S2,OOO bushels, AM
5 North Dakota, with 96,1SSOOO bushel
: were the principal oat producers. Il
each of these states the yield per acr
this year was almost double of las
years yield.
: ut looks as If we won't havefto in
port any potatoes this year" said Sec
retary Wilson in commenting on tn
record potato crop.
Indications are that the farmers WI
! have 1OS,OOO,OOO bushels more pot:
toes this year than last when, by res
son of the short crop, large quantitie
y were imported from Europe.

BE CAREFUL ABOUT STORING
YOUR AUTO IN THE BARN

Several inquiries have come to the
state insurance department relative
to the storage Oi automobiles .1
barns covered by mutual fire insur-
ance company policies. 1t was sug-
gestcd by the department that farm
ers owning automobiles, who have
been in the habit of storing the ma
chimes in barns, better examine their
policies and the charter of the COM
panies to ascertain whether or not
by that practice they are invalidat-
ing their policies. 1t is pointed out
that most policies contain special re-
quirements relative to gasoline and
these provisions in some cases pro-
hibit the storing the machines in
barns when they contain gasoline.
