COUNTY TREASURER
 SHORT BY S65,OOO
MuskOgee County, Oklahoma, Of- ficial Accused of High Finance" Handling of Funds-COunty
 Protected by Bonds.

Muskogee, Ok, Nov. l.-County Treasurer w. H. Wainright was ar rested at 30 o'clock this afternoon on a charge of embedding S65,000 of the county's funds.
 His resignation was accepted this morning at meeting of the county commissioners.
 The warrant, issued on complaint of County Attorney Disney, was served in the rear of the justice $ office, Mir. Wainwright having come there to voluntarily accept sum- mons the moment he heard the warrant was out. Justice Miller fixed his bond at Sl5,00O and 1t was immediately signed.
 Preliminary examination was set for December i.
 Wainwright positively refused to make any statement as also did County Attorney Disney although the latter admitted that more in teresting developments were com ing later and that the whole busi- ness would be sifted to the bottom" |"
 Said to Have kited Checks.
 For more than two weeks State Examiner Parkinson and two of his assistants have been making an ex- animation of the books in the coun- ty treaSurer's office, but although from the start it was thought some thing was wrong, the county com missioners delayed action until to- day, not wishing to take any steps until they felt absolutely assured of the facts reported to them. Only a few days ago Mr. Wainwright sent letter to the board in which he voluntarily agreed to resign if any irregularities were found, and withdrew his entire force from the offices in order to give the exam iners every opportunity to investi- gate the books. Since then all sorts of rumors have been ahoat and shortages as high as S75,000 have been reported "On the streets" but nothing could be verified. as the county commissioners positively re- lOotu tO Idlh. It 10 Sdlu JlltN gave Mr. Wainwright a chance to pay back the alleged shortage, but that he was unable to do so. He is under heavy bond and the county will not lose one penny if things are as the county attorney and those who have made the examination believe they are.
 It is said the alleged discrepancy in the treasurer's accounts was covered by kiting checks from one bank to another. The work was so clever that whenever any of these banks were called on for state ment by the examiner, the balance was always the same as the balance in the county treasurer's office. Most of the checks, it is alleged, found their way eventually into the Wainwright bank at Wainwright, in which the county treasurer was heavily interested, and there they remained

GUILTY OF KILLING
 WOMAN AND BABES
Former Polk County Farmer Will Be Hanger for Killing Mother and Two Children-Many Murders,
 First Death Penalty.

1t required but forty-hve min utes for a jury to declare s. A. Blank, farmer, guilty of the mur- ders of Mrs. George Webb and her children, a son aged seven and a daughter aged five, in the Circuit court at Hugo, Ok, Saturday after noon. Blank was sentenced to be hanged. The case went to the jury at o'clock. Two ballots were talk en. The first ballot stood 10 to ?.
 Blank formerly lived in Polk county and was we'll known by sev- eral citizens of Mena.
 The women and children were shot to death October 26, 1912, near Boswell. The crime was one of the most brutal in the history of the state. Blanks son and Clem Dod- son are to be tried as accessories, and Dodson's father, Henry, for al legged subordination of perjury. The conviction was chiefly secured through the testimony of Thomas Sprangley, the confessor, whose story that the elder DOdson in- huenced him to swear falsely in favor of Blank. caused the arrest of Blanks son and the Dodsons.

TRACK COMPLETE,
 OPENED TO PUBLIC
Builder Is Confident Mena Course Will Be Fastest in Arkansas Wants Everybody to Try It
 With Cars and Horses.

After about a months work with a large force of men and teams, di- rected by U. R. Miller and J. D. Budd. the half mile race and train ing track on the Oaklawn farm in She south part of town was thrown open to the public Thursday after noon. The construction of the mile boulevard circling the track is now under way, and a start on building the stables will begin i'll few days
 Mir. Budd and Nr. Miller are eX- tending a special invitation to all owners of autos and horses to make free use of the track. Thursday several were out and doubtless the speedometerS on some of the cars registered higher than ever before at least while running in this county. The track is banked at the turns so that there is no skid ding, even at the best speeds shown.
 Mena horses that really enjoy a limbering up their legs and have never had a chance to do so for the distance of a half of mile without danger of injury to them selves or the vehicles drawn, may now take the exercise on an almost perfect roadway-that is, if their masters are willing.
 The work of developing a fast and ideal track is one of weeks and months. and it cannot be done in any other way. The surface may appear perfect but in use it will show soft spots, hard spots and un- eveness. As it is roughened up by hoofs and tires, it is continuously smoothed down -" "hoated," the builders call it, and in the end be- comes smooth and of even texture over the entire surface.
 In the construction of a good track there are many things to be watched. There are fills to be made. the turns must be banked just right. Where too sandy soil IS found 1t is entirely removed and replaced by other earth, and in the end an entire top dressing is given of selected clay-clay that, by tests, will have life" and spring" and will not "cup" out in holes when struck by the striding horses. When the clay covering is all made heavy harrows are used with teeth driven deep, until for a depth of several inches the earth has been complete Iy cut to pieces and mixed. When this is done the dragging or float ing" begins "a process that goes on indefinitely. Of course there are many other things to look after, such as placing tile drains to carry away the rains, the removing of rocks, etc., and all these have been met and cared for on the Mena track.
 The permanent entrance to the track will be an extension of Horn beck avenue, but another opening vii be made as far as the boulevard to connect with the FOran Gap road.
 Go out and see and try the new lrack.

WILL BE HANGED ON
 CRIME ANNIVERSARY
Arthur Tillman to Die One Year From Date on Which He Killed His Sweetheart - Supreme
 Court His Hope.

Bonneville, Nov. 1.-March 10, one year from the date on which he killed his 19-year-old sweetheart, Amanda Stevens, Arthur Tillman, aged 2l, will be hanged on the gal lows at Paris, this Logan county.
 The jurors into whose hands Till mans fate had been entrusted last night, returned at 1O:15 this morn ing with verdict to the effect that Tillman was guilty of first degree murder.
 Tillman's attorneys at once filed a motion for a new trial, and Judge Evans promptly refused it. Then, in solemn tones which rang like a death knell through the otherwise silent courtroom, the judge pro- nounced the young murderer's doom, decreeing that he should die on the first anniversary of his crime.
 Only through action of the Su- preme court can Tillman hope to escape the decree of the court.
 Tillman will be hanged because the new state law substituting eIectrocution for hanging. did not go into effect until some time after the date on which his crime was committed.
 Murdered His Sweetheart.
 The murder was one of the most brutal in the history of Logan county Amanda Stephens, daugh- ter of a prosperous farmer living near Delaware, in the eastern part Of the county, mysteriously disap- lpeared from her home on the night of March 10 of this year. The first clue as to her fate resulted from the discovery in her room of a note from Arthur Tillman asking her tC meet him at an old abandoned vel near her home. The we'll was searched, and at the bottom was found the body of the unfortunate girl, crushed beneath tons of stone which had been thrown upon it Examination showed that she haC been shot her body bound with wire and thrown down into the ole well, after which the murderer haC hurled down great stones upon her lifeless form.
 An autopsy was performed upor the body and the discovery that the igirl would have become a mother gave a motive for the crime. | Clarence Tillman, cousin of Ar thur, is under indictment as an ac- cessory to the murder of the girl | No date has been set for his trial as the prosecuting attorney wished to have Arthur Tillman's ease de- cided first. The case of Clarence lTillman will probably be taken up as soon as possible now.
