him keenly. He was perhaps for

be dimly perceived through the

REGULAR MEETING
OF CITY COUNCIL
City Fathers Hold Busy Session
Council over-Rides Mayors
Veto.

The business of the city council. at
its regular meeting last night was
mostly of routine nature. All OF the
councilmen except Roberts and
Knight were present and the prIceea
irss progressed swiftly and smoothly.
Many petitions for street improve
ments in the way of drainage, cross
ings, etc, were presented and referred
to proper committees for action. The
special improvement committee WAS
instructed to advertise for bids and
contract for filling in the approaches
to the new bridge across Bull creek,
on Sequoyah avenue rhe finance or
dinance carrying appropriations for
the regular monthly expenses Of the
city was passed. The recommends
ton of Chief Ridenhour fu.' an adai-
tional man at the fire department was
referred to the fire committee for in
Vestigation and report. The difficulty
of the Vinita Electric Light & Fower
company in hanging the new and
heavier arc lights in the business dis
trict was referred to the light commit
tee for investigation as to the best
method of hanging these lights.
The resolution naming the Daily
Chieftain as the official paper of the
City Of Vinita and ordering all resolu-
tons, ordinances and other legal ma
tices published therein, passed at the
last meeting of the council, was re-
turned without the mayors signature.
The mayor recommended that new
bids be asked for but the council con
iirmed their first judgment by passing
the resolution over the mayors veto.
The six councilmen present voting to
pass the resolution over the head of
the mayor. This action was taken as
a confirmation of the Judgment of the
councilmen that the publication of the
legal notices of the city in daily
paper was worth more than the differ
enee in the bids submitted by the
Chleftain and Leader at the last meet
ing. The council followed the plan
to obtain the most benefit from the
money expended

IN MEMoRIAM.

Robert Jefferson Sanders was born
in Kentucky, October 10th, 1S47. At
the age of four he came with his par
ents to Lafayette County, Missouri,
later coming west to Oklahoma, and
for some years he had lived on his
farm about five miles north of Vinita.
These few words trace in brief the
life steps of this good man. But we
pause to note two important epochs
in his life. One was his making his
peace with his God, out yonder in the
country at the old country church in
Missouri, he heard the call of God in
his heart that called him from his
ways of death to the ways of right
eousness and peace. He asked for
membership in the Baptist church at
that place, was received and baptized
This was 40 years ago. His son bore
this testimony Of his father: He al
ways moved his church wherever he
went" He was an honored member
of the Baptist church of Vinita at the
time OF his DEATH
The other epoch in his life was his
marriage to Lula Blackwell, in Vernon
county. Missouri TO this happy union
were born the following children
First came Massie, baby girl, then
John, and next Sallie and last "Robby"
who died at the age of eleven. The
mother went away to the heavenly
land twenty years ago, leaving the
father and husband with the children.
Through all these years a sister of
Mrs. Sanders has remained in the
home to care for the children.
The three living were with their
father when the end came. The fun
eral was conducted by the writer, Sat
urday p. m, November Both, at the
old Pheasant Hill church, using as a
basis for his remarks, Rev. 21 a. in the
presence of many neighbors, friends
and relatives after which the body
was laid to rest in the old cemetery at
the foot of the hill. May the Fathers
blessings abide upon the bereaved.
