WALTER JARRET
MAY Be ROBBER


That Walter Jarrett, the man who
led the South Coffeyville train rob
berry nearly two years ago, and a few
months ago broke Jail in Muskogee
after being sentenced to twenty-five
years in the federal penitentiary was
the leader of the band Of robbers who
looted bank at Chouteau, Okla,
Tuesday night, is the information re-
ceived here today.
A citizen OF Chouteau, who arrived
in town. informed local officers that
a man answering Jarrett's description
loafed about the town of Chouteau for
several days prior to the robbery The
man is. described as being about five
feet eight inches tall, weighing about
1S0 pounds, and having a long scar
on the left side of his face. This de-
scription tallies exactly with that of
Walter Jarrett.
On the night of the robbery this
man came into town early in the even.
ing and bought six lunches from a
restaurant man and then rode out OF
town.
After the bank was entered and
three shots had been fred to dislodge
the door from the safe, town con

ceeded towards the bank. He saw
the men at work and from behind a
barrel fired at the lookout They fred

bank safe door away, after the officer
had fired upon them. Securing 5000 in

REFORM SCHOOL
TO Be PROBED
Condition OF Boys Sentenced" to In
stitution VIII Be Learned
Young Boys Sent Up.

Oklahoma City, Sept 13.-When or
|phan boys were sentenced" to the
Pauls Valley training school by juv
emile judges, there was nothing fol
the superintendent to do but accept
them as his wards, so Superintendent
Nelson of the Pauls Valley institution
told Superintendent Wilson, Of the
board of regents Thursday afternoon
Just after he had received letter
from Governor Cruce Thursday morn
ing in which the governor asked that
conditions be looked into at the Pauls
Valley training school, Superintendent
Wilson called Nelson over the tele
phone and asked him If it were true
that six-year-old boy is one of The
wards of the institution.
"Yes, we have a six-year-old boy
here and he was committed from Car
ter county," Nelson said.
Nelson also told Superintendent vii
son that he did not believe that orphan
boys should be sent to his institution
but after he had written Attorney Gen
|eral West and had asked him abonl
the matter, he was advised that there
was nothing discretionary about i
with the superintendent of the institu
|tion II juvenile judges sentenced OF
phan boys to the reform schools, the
judges instructions would have to bt
carried out. Since receiving that ad
vice, Nelson says he has not raised
the question again.
But in order that he may know JUS
how many of the ia boys at the Panl:
Valley school have been sentenced
there for being orphans, Superintend
ent Wilson told Nelson to gather to
gether his records and come to Okla
homia City. Nelson will be here Fri
day and with Superintendent Wilson
III is likely that a very thorough prob
of the conditions at the Pauls Valley
school and the practice of the juvenile
judges in sending boys there, will bC
made before Governor Cruce who frs
became aware of conditions through
stories told by the two Christensen
boys.
And some juvenile judges may be
asked to explain why it is that they
have sent orphan boys to a reform
school instead of to the school for OF
|phans at Pryor

LONG DROUTH
FINALLY BROKEN

Reports from many points in the
state indicate that there has been a
general precipitation during the past
twelve hours. While the rain was
light in a good many places, yet it
has been sufficient to break the con-
tinued heated term and do lot of
good to the too rapidly maturing cot
ton crop.
AT points which report no rainfall
cloudy weather is reported with indi-
cations of rain. The rain in the west
ern part of the state last night appears
to be moving eastward Even though
the rain is light the cooler weather
and little moisture will be of vast
benefit to the cotton crop

/, B. Crouch returned last night
from the Chelsea fair where he wit.
messed the awarding of the premiums.
He got IL first premiums and two sec
ond premiums on his saddle horses
that he showed. Henry Crouch got
first on his yearling filly. Mr. Crouch
says that the competition was not
strong, but he thinks it would have
been all the same If there had been,
as he had very fine string of horses
and they were all in the best of shape.
The horses were loaded out for Tulsa
where they will show at the Tulsa fair
next week
officers of the CIaremore fair were
there and offered Mr.. Crouch bonus
to ship his horses back to Claremore
week after next, but as he was headed
for Oklahoma City fair he may not do
it.
C. C. Cornatzer. Frank Odrain and

horses in the car with Mr. Crouch and
will make all of the fairs that Mr.
Crouch makes. Lizzie Irene won first

CHEAP LAND
IN NORTHWEST

Spokane, Wash. Sept 1.-two mil
lion acres of cut-oyer timber land in
Washington and Idaho will be reclaim
led and placed within easy reach of the
small investor, il the program mapped
out by the Inland Empire Federation
Iof Commercial clubs is carried out by
favorable action of the legislatures of
the two states at their next sessions.
The fertility of this vast acreage in
the Inland Empire has directed the at
Itention of large lumber companies and
commercial interests generally during
the last two years to the solution Of
the problem of settling the land, at the
same time allowing the home-makers
|such terms for payment as will enable
them to clear the stumps and make a
Living. Many persons interested in
the problem believe the plan Just
worked out may be the solution.
Briefly, the plan of action decided
ION, subject to legislative act, is the for
nation in each county of assessment
districts and issuing of bonds. The
modus operandi includes the filing by
logged-off land owners of petitions
with signatures of all persons owning
such lands in the territory affected,
the petitions to be accompanied by
good faith bonds. The matter will then
be referred to board of three persons
lone of whom must be the county engi-
Ineer. and this board must estimate the
cost of clearing in ten-acre tracts.
Then come the advertising for bids
and the creation of assessment rolls,
which will provide for payment in 20
annual installments.
In the Inland Empire great attention
has been given to the logged-off land
problem, whose intricacy has increased
year by year as the timber has been
cut and as the other lands have been
placed under cultivation Since the
Organization of the Inland Empire Fed
Grafton of Commercial clubs, with a
total membership of 10000 persons,
the settlement of these lands has been
the prime subject of consideration

aThe Rosary


Those who complain about the de-
cadence OF the drama can offer DO
sound criticism OF srhe Rosary, Z
which was the sensation Of the popu-
lar priced houses last season. 1t is
not religious drama OF the heavy
lsort, lacking in entertaining qualities.
On the contrary, 1t is delightful
STORY of everyday life, in which the
lplot hinges upon the misery which
creeps into household through ell
|cumstances which lead to suspicion
and jealousy, and of part which O
priest. Rev. Brian Kelly plays in
bringing about correct understand
ling. A rosary of pearls figures in the
unfolding Of the plot, and il is final
happy announcement.
The play is handsomely staged by
the producers, Rowland and Clifford
and is enacted by powerful acting
cast, consisting of Wanda Brinkley
Spencer Walker, James Bysel, Helen
Rose, Bethel Barth, Harry O'Lynn and
Claude Boone THE Rosary is a
play which every lover of clean aud
entertaining stage productions should
see. Six companies, all equally form
ed as to strength of cast, are touring
the country again this season, repeat
ing the tremendous hit that this play
made everywhere last year. 1t will be

New York, Sept 14.-Former Con-
gressman William P. Hepburn, of
Iowa, is quoted in the Des Moines Tri-
bune, as follows:
Il shall not be surprised to see the
democrats make clean sweep in No
vember. So far as am concerned, |
will support no man who will not sup
port the Roosevelt ticket, and ! think
there are many others of the same
mind"
Col Hepburn is correct in his guess.
The regular republican organization is
sure to knife every legislative candi-
date who is for Roosevelt, and the
third term party will return the com
pliment on the Taft men, The voters
generally, as result, are turning to
the democratic party, and its candi-
dates, as a welcome relief from an in
tolerable condition.

WOODROW WILSON
IN THE LEAD

New York, Sept. 14.-Newspaper
men who are making the tour Of the
west with the third term party candi-
date, are strongly inclined to give
Woodrow Wilson the best OF it in
their guess as to who will be the next
president.
Throughout the tour there have
been heated discussions as to what
states will 60 for the democratic tiket.
While the national democratic ticket
refuses to concede any of the states
as sure for Taft. the only crumb of
hope the newspaper men are holding
out to the president is in Utah, Yer
mont, Rhode Island and New Hamp-
shire.
The tour of Roosevelt, according to
the best newspaper judges who have
accompanied him throughout the west,
has resulted in his losing as much
ground as he has gained.
In North Dakota, Roosevelt has lost
ground, according to the most accu-
rate democratic advice received at ma
tional headquarters.
