COCK AND BULL
RAINY DAY STORY

The Muskogee Daily Press prints
this great feature story bearing an
Oklahoma date line:
The game of politics as now being
played in Oklahoma City would do
credit to the days of Matthew S. Quay,
Tom Platt and Mark Hanna, when
these past masters of the art were at
the zenith of their power. There is
much mystery attending the objective
point aimed at but the result of pri
yate conferences, bed room caucuses
and meetings behind closed doors in.
dicate that the political plum tree is
about to be shaken and the grand
prize, consisting of U. S. senatorship
from Oklahoma is the desired fruit
OF the astute plans now being formed
Since the speakership fight was made
and won by Mr. Maxey it has suddenly
dawned on the Ovens men in the
house and senate that this puts the
Haskell force in the saddle, and gies
them complete control of the legisla.
ture. Following this discovery the
owen men made frantic attempt to
take the real power of the position
away from the speaker and have all
committees named by a committee on
and in this second battle
royal the Haskell forces were again
victorious. So alarming did the situa-
ton become following this second de-
feat that the Owen men sent out an
emergency call and an important pri-
Vate conference was held among the
trusted leaders of the Muskogee sena. !

The people of Oklahoma, that is the
'ank and file of the voters, expressed
themselves on the senatorship uues
ion last November in no uncertain
erms, but the fact remains that the
and not the people comprise

Law.
Washington, D. G., Jan 10-An
amendment Of the Sherman antitrust
law giving the different states the pow.

by Senator owen, of Oklahoma.
The states are helpless to look after
their own welfare in matters affecting
interstate and translate traffic because
the statute restricts relief to the at
torney general of the United States,
said Senator Owen, explaining his
to the senate.

sportsmen who had spent several
days at Wall Lake came home last
evening and this morning, but when

that each morning for the past few
days ducks have been on the lake in

before sun up, which is the legal
time to start hunting.

bushel. for corn husking. Men are
almost unavailable, although the us

idlers are seen on the streets every
day. A good corn husker can husk
about one hundred bushels of corn
in one day and gets his board free.

it certainly is large money for one
days work of this kind. The aver

also reported is about fifty bushels

.DO|NCS Of THE
DISTRICT COURT
Damage Case of Robert Inlay
Against II. M. Hanson is
Now on Trial.

In the district court today judg-
ment was rendered in favor Of the
Potlatch Lumber Company against
the Lane-Moore Lumber Company
for the sum Of $641.11 and costs.
The will of the late Enoch Oak
land was admitted to probate.
A jury was empanelled and evil
dence started in the case of Robert
Inlay vs.. H. NJ. Hanson. This case
is suit for damages. 1t seems that
the plaintiff and defendant had a
collision with their autos and it is
claimed by the plaintiff that the de-
PENDANT, with a brother-in-law, after
the collision, drove on and then
turned around and came back and
the two of them gave him a beating
A counter claim by the defendant is
also involved and the suit promises
to be interesting, as considerable
feeling has arisen.

MAY REVIVE BRICK
AND Tile WORKS
Rumored That Emmetsburg Parties
Will Take Over and Operate
the Plant.

1t is rumored among the business
men of the city that the old Acme
Cooperative Brick & Tile Company
will soon be taken over by an En-
metsburg concern. H. M. Sparboe,
who has been acting as receiver OF
the concern for some time, is out Of
the city and no authority can be
quoted as to the truth Of this rum
or. If true, however, it will mean a
valuable asset to the city, as from
thirty to fifty men can easily be en-
ployed and large amounts of first
class tile be made and sold from that
plant. Throughout this state there
are a great many of these plants
and with the large amount of priv
ate thing work to be done in the
next five or ten years the tile plants
should easily reap a harvest. While
in some ways it might make compe-
tition at home for the new plant n
this city, the products are not the
same as different sizes of tile are
made. The managers of the new
plant would like to see the old plant
started again. 1t has the equipment
to make first class brick, which If
pushed, would be largely used in
this community, and they would find
ready sale for all tile they could
make.

with intent to commit great bodily
injury and was given a sentence Of
one year in the penitentiary by
Judge Lee today.
O'Gara was at first charged with
assault with intent to commit muir

penitent and had a fairly good rec

modified the charge upon condition
that he plead guilty, which he did

O'Gara was on his way from Luverne
to Des M0ines. He was in company
with several friends from Luverne
and they were going to Des Moines

der the influence of liquor and
claims not to remember anything
that happened after he left Luverne.
He has been working at thing and

he has worked say he is good
worker, conscientious and honest
when sober, but occasionally gets in
toXicated, when he then becomes
quarrelsome. Under the sentence i'm
posed by Judge Lee, O'Gara may be
paroled in few months, though the
custom of the parole board is not to
interfere in cases where the sem
tence is for a year or less.
