MAYES WINS
WRESTLING MATCH

The wrestling match at the Grand
last night between Hiner Mayes and
Karl Seigfried was fairly well attend
ed considering the inclement weather
early in the evening. While it was
ugly and cold outside, Mr.. Myers had
it very comfortable inside the theater.
Mayes made it warm enough for Karl
The first go lasted only Is minutes and
nine seconds, Mayes having secured a
half nelson and inside crotch hold
which the Dutchman was unable to
break. The second fall was also won
by Mayes in II minutes and 40 sec
onds, with another half nelson and in
side crotch. Karl says that hold is the
most difficult hold for a light man to
break. He demonstrated last night
that he was no dub or second rated
The kind of sourkraut doped out to him
led him to believe Mayes would be
easy but he learned different Karl
made many friends in Vinita. He is a
nice clean wrestler and will be given
a welcome any time he happens this
way. During his curtain talk he pay
ed his respects to Mayes and sayes he
was a good man. Mayes says the
same Of Karl.
The preliminary, a six round boxing
contest between Earl Clawson and Lee
Parker was poor exhibition. Claw
son showed up to good advantage but
1t was shame to take the money.
In the third round a snappy hit High
Pockets" on the wrist, which made his
blood boil The fourth, fifth and sixth
rounds were fairly good, Earl having
knocked his society combatant to the
floor twice, but he succeeded in aris-
ing before Referee Clair Gillert could
finish the count Everybody was sat
isfied with the evenings entertain
ment.

met with enormous success. proving

perfectly willing to pay their money

The Stumbling Block which will
be seen at the Grand threatre next
Sunday is just such play From the

That representing the Old Woman

miration from the juvenile throng. At

applause the patrons this afternoon
put the stamp of approval on the show
from beginning to end.

HARRIS SURRENOERS
TO ROOSEVELT

Oklahoma City, Sept 21.-The an
nouncement that James Harris has
been named as republican national
committeeman from Oklahoma and
that Arthur H. Geissler of Oklahoma
City succeeds him as chairman of the
state committee directs attention to
the republican situation in this state
Well informed republicans have no
doubt read with surprise as well as
interest the report made by Chairman
Hills of the national committee at tie
committee meeting in New York
Wednesday to the effect that all of
the Roosevelt electors originally nam
ed on the regular republican tickets
had been replaced, except in the states
of Kansas, Nebraska and California.
The inference to be drawn from this
is that Mr. Hills is not informed as
to conditions in Oklahoma, and that
Harris has represented to him that the
regular republican electors in this
state will vote for Taft if they should
be elected The Bull Moose organiza-
tion claims that nine of the ten are
pledged to Roosevelt and every well
informed Taft republican in this state
knows that there is not now the slikht-
est prospect that any Taft voter will
have an opportunity to vote for the
candidate of his choice This situa-
tion makes it pertinent to review some
recent republican history. AS mat
ter of fact the loyal Taft republicans
have had Jim Harris under suspicion
for more than two years. AT the
meeting of the republican editors of
the state held in Shawnee more than
two years ago Everett Purcell, post
master at Enid and editor fthe Enid
Events, forced through a resolution
endorsing the Taft administration
against the advice of Harris. The
state chairman at that time pretended
of course to be a Taft supporter but
for the sake of harmony in the party
he opposed the aggressive action ad-
vocated by Purcell
The loyal Taft men have not for
gotten Harris for his course in the
state convention which elected dele
gates to the regular republican con
vention at Chicago They made their
plans to force the Roosevelt followers
to bolt, and send a contesting delega-
ton to Chicago They could have car
ried out their plans if Harris had stood
by them, but at the critical moment
he surrendered to the Roosevelt fol-
lowers and was reelected state chair
man. They have accused Harris of
making a deal at that time to MAIN
tain his own position in the republican
organization. When Taft was nomi.
mated and it was evident that there
would be a Roosevelt bolt of some
sort, at least one Taft republican call
ed the attention of Harris to the fact
that the electors nominated as regu.
lar republicans were practically all
Roosevelt men and urged him to take
steps to see that regular Taft sup
porters were put on the ballot for the
August primaries. There was time to
do this when Taft was nominated but

SHERIFF SANDERS
SHOT IN ARM
Deputy Sheriff is Killed And Sheriff
Wounded in Arm-Perhaps the
Same SIayers.

Claremore, Okla, Sept 21-The war
to the death that bootleggers have de-
clared upon both federal and state en-
forcement officers, which resulted
Thursday afternoon in the cold-blooded
murder near Caney, Kans., of Lee
Bowman, government officer, yester-
day afternoon brought another victim
under very similar circumstances.
This time it was carl Starr, deputy
sheriff OF Rogers county, just south
of the place where the first shooting
occurred. Starr was killed instantly
and Sheriff Ed Sanders was wounded.
The sheriff and his deputy had
seized wagon load of whisky about
mile south of CollinsviIle and were
taking the contents to the county seat
when men drove up in a wagon
and opened ELc Oil the ,fficers. San
degs received bullet in one arm, but
with dis deputy lying dead at his feet
he shifted his revolver to his other
hand and opened fire on the murder
ers, forcing them to retreat, but not
before he had captured one of them,
John Etter of Collinsville.
A companion of Etter was after
ward arrested. The third man in the
party, said to be the one who killed
the deputy, is still at large Posses
are searching the country, and blood
hounds from the Bays detective agency
at Muskogee were sent to Collinsyille
last night to aid in the search.
The murder resembled closely that
Of Bowman the day before, when five
men role out in a motor car from
Caney and deliberately opened fire on
the officers, who were pouring out
liquor just within Oklahoma, south of
Caney w. II. Mayfeld, marshal
from Lenapah, and s. R. McCandles,
an oil man who was near, were wound
ed Both will probably recover.
Two of the five men who are said
to have been in the murder party were
taken in custody last night by the
sheriff of Washington county. Joe
Peters sent word from Copan that he
and his son were willing to give them
selves up and an officer was sent out
to get them Both federal and state
officers are looking for the others of
the party and their arrest was expect
ed hourly last night
The killing of the deputy sheriff,
coming right up the murder of the
federal enforcement officer, has led
both the state and United States au-
thorities to believe that the bootleg
gers are venegefully trying to make
good their threats, made some weeks
ago, that they would get" all the dep
uties and enforcement officers in their
territory. In several parts of eastern
oklahoma tic county officers have is
sued orders o e undersheriffs to
shoot to kiln when never the bootleggers
showed armed resistance Although
no direct orders have been issued to
that effect to the United States officers,
it is understood that they are to take
no fooling and no chances"

the matter of leasing of power. Mir. Newell was hardly in favor of grant ing to the association the veto au- thority in leasing of power. but he was in favor of notifying the asso- citation of any contemplated sale of power for any given time. so that the association might have an oppor- tunity to know what was going on in the matter of leasing.
 "The proposition allowing the land owners tO construct their own ca nals was taken up and met with no opposition. The case of the ranchers under the Southern canal was used to illustrate. As is known. the land owners west of Tempe and on the south side Of the river are under what is known as the Southern ca
 nal. tract of land settled almost exclusively by homesteaders, have ap-
 piled for a canal but the reclam = ton service does not have sufficient
 funds to do the work. The landOWn-
 CTS have put up the proposition that
 they will dig the ditch and will ask
 in return that the construction work
 be applied on their assessments to- ward the paying of the project. Not
 only did the proposition meet with
 favor. but it was suggested that
 enough money might he furnished by
 the government in addition to that already furnished to complete all un- finished canals.
 overhead charges came in for con siderable discussion, and we were assured that an investigation would be made and that every employe of the maintenance department who is not essential to the service would be
 dismissed. This naturally brought up
 the question of extravaganza in the department, and relative to il we were given tO understand that no less than three committees were already appointed to investigate the reclama- ton expenditures and that the nam ing of another committee would not in the least expedite matters at this time.
 one of the most notable things, continued Mir Jones. was the senti- ment against the spectators. We found this condition especially in the house committee. We were subjected i to a rapid crossfire of questions which covered practically every phase of the question. The committee apparT ently chung to the idea that if the news went out that an extension of time had been granted the spectators would immediately raise the price of their lands. and that they, and not tho farmer Nould reap the benefit. The people of Mesa are satisfied that MT. Jones worked faithfully and conscientiously for the best interests of the people. and have no fault to ! find with either him or Mir. Orme.

HON. DAN! P. JONES
 RETURNS TO MESA
He Tells the People of His Trip to Washington in Interest of the
 Valley Farmers.

Hon. Dan r Jones returned to
 Mesa yesterday from Washington. where he went. in company with John
 r. Orme. president of the Salt River
 Valley Water Users association. to
 try and get an extension of time for
 the payment of the assessments made
 by the government in repayment for
 the construction of the Roosevelt dam
 and other work of the reclamation
 project at this place. While in one
 sense the mission was not success-
 ful. having been turned down hy Mir.
 Newell. chief of the reclamation serv-
 ice. Mir. Jones is satisfied that con
 gress win devise some measure of re-
 lief for the landowners. In regard
 to their work, Mir. Jones gave the re-
 porters the following
 The primary object in our trip to
 Washington was to secure an eX-
 tension of time for the payment of
 the project. Mir Newell. the head of
 the reclamation service. is trying to
 bring the work of his department up
 to it's highest efficiency and in order
 tO do that most successfully he be- lieved that the projects would have
 to maintain the regular payment plan as originally outlined, or else the de- partment and the consequent work of reclamation would be seriously re- tarded for lack of funds. The cry is going mp from all over the country where projects have been put in for an extension of time for making pay ments. and it will work a hardship on the reclamation department in the event that all requests are granted. However. before We left Washington MT. Newell assured us that he would not oppose any measure submitted by us to congress having for it's object the desired end. We went before the irrigation committee of the senate and the house. Senator Dixon. the | chairman of the senate committee, IS one of our strongest supporters, and ! the whole senate committee assured l us that they were ready and willing for an extension. The house com
 mittee on irrigation. of which Repre- sentative Smith of Texas is chairman, | is divided. However, Mir. Smith, the | chairman. is with us. While no defi- mite measure was drafted. we are of the opinion that we have things start ed in the right direction, and with Mir. Newelrs influence against us re- moved. it is practically assured that an extension will be granted. There
 was another feature brought out by MT. Newell and Assistant Secretary of the Interior Adams which was in effect that the landowners of the valley acquire possession of the prof. ect at the earliest possible moment While the extension of time was 1 our first object. we entered into sev- eral other matters of vital impor- | tance to the landowners.
