BONNIE BURR'S STORY
OF LAST NIGHTS FUN
She Easily EIuded Capture
AfCify's Busiest Corner.
Moved About in Big
Crowd at Fourth and
Marker Undecided.

Miss Bonnie Burr. the "Girl in the
Pink Mask" who, by the way, used
automobile goggles, was sought by a
crowd Of several thousand persons at
Fourth and Market streets, between
62O and $50 O'Clock. last evening.
Bonnie Burr was in disguise, and
mingled in the enormous crowd and
was jostled about, but she asserts that
7 not one person saluted her as Bonnie
Burr. Two women alongside her
seemed to suspect her, she said, but
they did not greet her with the saIuta-
ton prescribed in THE EVENING
JOURNAL
The first person who greets her
with the salutation and who complies
with the rules as printed will be es-
corted by Miss Bonnie Burr to THE
EVENING JOURNAL office and will
receive the 5000 reward offered for
her detection.
Ono Of the persons with whom she
ronYersed at Fourth and Market
streets, last night, was Patrolman No.
~. According to the police depart
ment records, Officer 40 Is Patrolman
Devenish.
The crowd at Fourth and Market
streets began to assemble at S o'clock
and by $50 the throng was so great
that squads of policemen, mounted Of
ficer Barr and employees of the Will
mington and Philadelphia Traction
Company were required to keep a
passageway clear for street cars.
There were many laughable incidents
b the crowd. Scores of women and not
few men gero mistaken for Bonnie
Burr by persons eager to get the $500
lewsrd. In some instances women
lokingly said that they were Bonnie
Burr, in response TO salutations. But
Hiss Bonnie Burr. the genuine. says that
bot one person -tually saluted her.
Naturally, many persons thought they
bad discovered her, but they did not. "
Me is discovered and saluted according
10 the rules prescribed, she viii admit
lcr identity at once
Taking advantage of the throng
about Fourth and Market streets, a
delegation of equal suffragists, headed
~ Miss Mabel Vernon. held a meeting
N the corner The Majestic Theatre
ast night showed views OF Miss Bonnie
Burr aud the crowd in front Of THE
JOURNAL office which were taken at
loon yesterday. The views will be

The Biblical injunction. "An eve for
an eye" was advocated by Mrs. Jes-
sic Stidham, Of No. 622 West Fifth
street on Sunday when she asked
Harry Snyder. OF No. 409 Montgom-
cry street, to allow her to kick him
on the leg, after he had kicked her
11-year-old son. George. Snyder
would not agree to this, although
Mrs. stidham said if he did it would
even matters.
As a result Of the trouble which
started over Mrs. Stidham's son hav-
ing fight with son of snyder's, the
case was called in City Court today.
when Snyder was charged with as
sault and battery. After hearing
considerable testimony, a fine of $40
and costs was imposed.
Mrs. Elsie Snyder, wife OF the de-
fendant, said she considered il her
duty to help her husband, and she
claimed that no one was in an alley
when her husband is alleged to have
kicked the Stidham boy.
This morning Frank Stout. humane
agent. and Police Sergeant Tucker
told of seeing the bruise on the Stid-
ham boys leg last Wednesday. Mrs.
Stidham, when called. told Of her
boy coming home on Sunday CRYING
and OF her asking Snyder to allow
her to kick him on the leg TO even
matters. Snyder today denied kick
ing the boy, but witnesses called by
the prosecution showed he had kick
ed the child.

TlONS FOR ALL INSTITUTIONS
-REFERENDUM IN AUGUST.

Contrary to expectation, the fifteen
school measures, carrying appropria'
tions of approximately 100000 were
approved Friday afternoon by Cover
nor Cruce. 1t is understood, how
ever, that although the governor is
opposed to the number of schools in
the state, he felt that no harm would
be done in approving the bills as he
had been assured referendum to
abolish certain of the scholastic in
stitutons would be referred to the
people in August.
The total appropriation amounts to
$679, ,090, with the university and the
A. and M. college not yet completed
With all of the schools included, it
is said that the state will have to
pay upwards of million and hall
for the maintenance of these institu-
tions.
The appropriation measures ap'
proved include the following institu-
tions: Ada normal, Goodwell school,
Tahlequah normal Tonkawa school,
school at Broken Arrow, Edmond nor
NAL, Tishomingo school, Warner
school, Lawton school, Alva normal,
Chickasha school for girls, Weather

Pimples would break out and make his face
sore and infamed. and he was very cross
and fretful. 1t was awful. He suffered
tortures from 1t. and we had to tie mittens
on his hands to keep him from scratching.
We tried everything we knew and had him
to three doctors. but they could not help
him. friend OF mine told me of the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment and l went to q
drug store and bought them. When We
would bathe his face with the Cuticura Soap
and apply the Cuticura Ointment. he would
be much better. He would wake up In tho
nights and cry with his face and we would
put on some Of the Cuticura Ointment and
then he would rest all right. By keeping
this up every day his face began to heal and
then got well altogether. He suffered Just
about year before we used the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and they have cured
him completely of the eczema. We use the

better soap for the skin" (Signed) Mrs.
