he obtained, and that he had some
thing working in his mind that would
aid the state in enforcing the law
even if the county and city did not

In Wrong Building.

In Wrong Building.
The first place visited was on one
of the main thoroughfares of the
town and came near causing the even
ing's excursion to be turned into a
huge joke. Special officer Gilmore of
the states force stationed himself at
the rear Of the building to catch the
ones in hurried flight from the joint,
while the Governor and State Een-
forcement Officer Caudill ambled
through the front door of a cigar and
pool room. Several of the frequent
ers knew the governor by sight. They
stepped a respectful distance and won
dered what it was all about. Several
crowded through the swinging doors
to observe. AS the governor and eau
dill neared one of the rear windows
Gilmore poked his head through and
whispered:
You fellows are in the wrong
place It's the house next door"
AS far as the governor was con-
cerned that was a perfectly natural
error The party moved next door
with more success. Frequenters there
did not know the governor. but. they
did Caudill, and bang" whent the big
door and "chug" went the steel bar
behind it. The governor of Oklahoma
and his state enforcement officer were
kept waiting on the outside fully five
minutes before there was any sign
of wanting to admit them. All the
time there was hurry and hustle be-
hind the door, and the sound of NOV
sues from behind a curtain at the
opera house between acts. The gov
ernor said he thought thy were va
eating the premises. After the plant"
had been concealed the loungers ran
down the rear stairs, but seeing Gill
more scurried back, and those who
did not care about being seen in the
place made their escape through one
of the many emergency exists Then
it was that strip of boy lifted the
bar and asked the governor and Cau-
dill what was wanted
Trail of Poker Chips.
The pine tables, ordinarily employ
ed as a serving bar, were stacked, bot
tomside up, against the wall, a crap
table stood on its side with the 'lay
out" and green cloth against the plas-
tering, chairs were piled upon the
gambling paraphernalia as if they had
not been distributed in months, there
was suggestion of dust on some of
the furniture and the coup would prob
ably have served it's purpose had not
the governors eye discovered a trail
of poker chips dropped across the floor
In the hasty retreat. No liquor was
found and no arrests were made.
Il will get my mallet.' suggested
Gilmore, who disappeared and return
ed with a good size sledge, 'and they
can't keep us standing on the door
mat at the next place"
AS soon as it got noised about that
the governor was raiding joints, a
crowd Of 200 onlookers gathered in
the street. They next went south of

GOVERNOR CRUCE
IN JOINT RAID
@visitation" in Oklahoma City Friday
Night May Lead to Action
Alarms Quickly Given.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 20.-To test
tie truth of the many conflicting
stories about fragrant violations of the
prohibitory law in Oklahoma City, as
well as to determine what embargos,
il any, the states officers were COM
PEELED to overcome in law enforce
ment, were what impelled Governor
Lee Cruce to lead strongarm squad
of his personal selection Friday night
and make a series of raids. Ten
joints were visited. In all but two
the "plants" term used to denote
the stock Of liquids, had been effec-
lively concealed. The, governor is con.
vinced. however. that in these pre-.
election times intoxicants are permit
ted to be sold in more or less open
contempt for the statutes, and he has
the local conditions under considera-
tion by the Attorney Generals depart
ment. What plans he will pursue were
not revealed.
Governor Cruce found the stories
of barricaded doors, watched Railways
and of business comfy between joint
keepers, as reported to him, to be
true. He was amazed with the rapid
ity with which the inmates not only
got away with their stuff, but made
their getaway when the arm of the
law hove in sight. 1t was all new to
the governor of Oklahoma, yet an old,
old story to the denizens of the
street

Mrs. I. Whit ROsb0rOueh

On last Sunday afternoon the sad intelligence from Prescott reached the city that death had suddenly fastened it's hold upon Mrs. T. Whit Rosborough of that city. TeXarkanians were naturally interested and grieved, as MT. Rosborough of Prescott is the only son of Capt. and Mrs. J. T, Rosborough, a TeXarkan- ian by birth and rearing, and here as elsewhere, he has scores of friends who are with him in his deep sorrow. A little son, just five years old mourns her loss as well as the bereaved hus- band and other relatives.
 The death of this beloved wo- man was d great shock to all, as that morning Mrs. L. P. Beidel- man came over from Prescott. be- lieying her to be well, but before the afternoon trains departure, she was apprised of the death, and Mrs. Beidelman, acCompan- jed by Mrs. J. T. Rosborough, returned to Prescott. On Tues day, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Jacks, Mrs. Mary Dumbeck and Mrs. 0. $. Holiday went over to at tend the last sad rites.
 Mrs. T. Whit Rosborough was a fine character, a woman who did things, capable and intelli- gent, and much beloved by all who came within her sweet in huence-the memory of which will carry in years to come. Deepest sympathy is extended to the sad husband, the dear child, for well has it been said the bravest are the tenderest and soonest do they pass away" Sundays Daily TeXarkanian.
