WINS FROM ADA|R

The basketball team of the girls
representing the Vinita high school
easily won from the Adair girls last
night at the high school gymnasium
by a scare of 33 to TO- The Vinita
girls out-played their opponents in
every part of the game and Adair only
succeeded in throwing one basket from
the field, making their other eight
points on free throws The game was
filled with interesting climaxes and
senational plays and guarding and
While the supporters of the Vinita
team felt that their players had the
best OF the deal and that defeat was
scarcely possible, yet their interest
was kept high by the splendid fight
the visitors put up all through the
contest.
The entire team for Yinita did such
good work that it is almost impossible
to pick any stars" but if any deserve
special mention it would be Catherine
Chamberlin for her work at throwing
baskets from center, The guarding OF
Mcclure, Kengle and Williams was up
to their standard, and it was largely
due TO their work that the visiting
team only threw the one basket Bar

minute of the time and always doing
her part The visitors also had same
splendid players but we were unable
to get their lineup and as a result
cannot give them the special mention
that they deserve, but both teams play
good basketball and more than pleased
the spectators there to witness it.
The boys game between the seniors
and the sophomores was also good

this by a score of 27 to 10. Both classes

BOOTLEGGER SHOT
BY TULSA OFFICER
He Was Smuggling Two Loads Of
Whisky Into Town.

Tulsa, Okla, Dec l3.-Trouble be-
tween bootleggers and state enforce
ment officers was resumed here today
when Walter Allison, while attempting
to smuggle two wagons of whisky and
beer into Tulsa, was shot and serious
ly injured by Special Officer F. II.
w. Ward. Allison is in hospital and
Ward is being held by the police.
Accounts of the trouble differ wide
ly. Ward claims that Allison resisted
and showed fight, while the wounded
man asserts that he already had been
disarmed when the shooting occurred.
An eyewitness to the affair agrees
with Allison,
1t was reported this afternoon that
the life of one enforcement officer had
ben threatened by friends Of Aallison.
Whether there is any truth to this is
not known.

investigation Ordered.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 13.-The state
administration received scanty consid.
Grafton at the hands of the special ses-
sion of the state senate which has Just
adjourned. None of the governors s
Iappointees over whom there was any
controversy were confirmed and all
the appointments he had made upon
the state board of education since it's
creation two years ago were nullified.
Three of his favorite appointees were
placed in pocket" until the regular
session and an investigation was or
dered of practically every state de-
partment.
1t is agreed among most political
observers that republican senate
scarcely could have shown a more in
surgent attitude toward the admins
tration than the senate which Governor
Cruce had called in special session for
the express purpose of carrying out his
confirmation programme.
Some of the administration wheel
horses, however, declare they scent a
plan among the senators having state
institutions that the governor has at
tackled, to hold club over the guber-
material head in hopes that the execu-
tive Will not insist on his recommended
tions that large number of the state
schools be abolished. 1t is safe to say
that a majority of the senators have a
state educational institution in their
district which very naturally they de-
sire to protect.
Governor Cruce charged during the
recent campaign and intimated in his
message, that senators and representa-
tiyes from districts having state insti-
tutions formed combination in the
last legislature which made it impos-
sible to defeat any appropriation pro-
posed for one of the institutions and
that he was compelled as a result to
use the executive veto in order to pro-
tect the taxpayers of the state. The
governor Topped off about $2,000,00O of
these appropriations.

WH|SKEY MEN
FEAR SLEUTH
Temperance Union Man is Paid to
"Clean Up" Two Counties.

Bartlesville, Okla, Dec 13.--That a
persistent and systematic campaign
against bootleggers in Washington
and Nowata counties is to be inaugur-
ated is the announcement following
the advent here recently of S. G. Cross
wait of ST Louis, secretary of the Ma
tional Temperance union, who is said
to be a sleuth of the Burns carat in
following up violations of the liquor
laws.
Already, it is claimed, Crosswait has
secured enoug hevidence to convict
every bootlegger in Nowata county,
and is asking the court of Nowata
county to have special judge ap'
pointed to prosecute the cases. Form
er County Judge Van Leuven has been
retained to prosecute the cases and
the evidence is being compiled
Crosswait is not an enforcement ofIl-
Ger, but detective, and his operating
system is not very different from that
of "Pussyfoot" Johnson of Anti-Saloon
league fame. He has others purchase
the booze, then labels the exhibits
giving names, time and place pur
chased and other necessary data.
That local bootleggers are in genu
inc fear of this man is evidenced by
the tightness of the lid, it being diff
cult to secure enough Bacchanaliar
tonic to cure bad cold
