Bartlesville, Okla, Dec. 2S.-That
William r. Mayfield, deputy sheriff
of Washington county, shot Ollie
Weston, negro, with felonious intent
near Delaware county, December 20,
was the verdict of a coroners jury,
which held an inquest over the body
of the negro here. A charge of man
slaughter against Mayfield was sworn
out and signed by County Attorney
Bennett of Nowata county as re-
suit of the verdict.
Mayfeld and William Clay another
deputy sheriff, both testified that they
rode up behind Weston and his broth
er, who were walking, and ordered
them to halt, the officers believing
the negroes had liquor in their pos
session. The boys started to run, it
is alleged, and Mayfeld shot. An eye
witness testified that Mayfield issued
the command to halt and shot about
the same time and this testimony ev-
identity caused the jury to hold him
responsible for the negros death.

Have Secured Patent.

Thomas, Okla. Dec. 2S.-Thomas is
'the home of Dr. w. ]. Omer and j. C.
Stull, mayor and city engineer, res
pectively, who have invented a ma
chine for cleaning the scale from
boilers which is predicted will work
revolution in the manner of doing
that difficult and eXasperating job
in the future. The attention of the
two men was first attracted to the
matter in observing the frequency
with which the boilers at the city
lighting plant had to be cleaned, and
the apparent entire lack of facility
or adequate machinery for doing that
work qGickly, without undue loss of
power, and without the necessity of
shutting down the plant. AS a re-
suit they went to work on a ma
chine and after four attempts have
secured letters patent on their pro-
cess, which is claimed by those who
have witnessed its operation to be
a remarkably efficient invention. A
company has been organized to place
the new device on the market and
manufacture it, with DR.. w. ]. Omer
president, J. c. Stull, vice president
ard treasurer; Charles e. Shaw sec
retary, and Mr.. Jones of Weather
ford, attorney.

opposed to bonding the city and the
county in the past for any purpose
whatever, averring that taxes were
already as much as we can stand, bat
now as being in favor of voting bonds

1T is all well enough to sit down
and say, let we'll enough alone, when
you have the location grabbed, bu
that Ringing railroad that we gave 4
big bonus to is going to give us

that Jake Hamon or John Ringing

west to catch all the trade from that

Ardmore can sit here and see the

through her citizens wake up, do
