Send Big Men to the Legislature.

(Rosalia Internationally
Governor Listers words that no spe-
cial interest should be represented at
the legislature are words of wisdom
and should sink deep into the hearts
of the voters. A man chosen to the
state legislature should go there un-
tied, free to act in the interest of the
whole state and for things found to be
of most value to the greatest number.
The country or district should not be
forgotten, but at the same time the
officer should not have to vote for 80
or 40 bad laws to bedeck the statutes
in order to accomplish legislation for
the special purpose of some clique or
clan that has selfish motives. Men,
broad-minded. big, broad-guaged men,
should be sent to the legislative halls

The Primary for President.

me PRIMARY for President.
Chg Bend Outlook.)
President Wilson's declaration for a
direct presidential primary has met
with favorable response all along the
line. The probabilities are that we
have seen our last national convention
for the nomination of candidates for
president and vice president One
beauty of the plan is that no section
OF the country will have an unfair pre-
ponderance in the naming of a presi-
dental candidate, and another is that
the present incumbents will find that
the best recommendation for a re-
election is record of faithful service.

CLEANING
QUESTION
SETTLED
Court Holds Council Has No Au.
thority to Let Such Contracts
Without Passing Ordinance
Veto Power Not Discussed


III decision handed down this
morning Judge Frank N. Bailey of the
district court wiped the boards clean
in the cases involving the city clean
ing contracts, holding that both the
contracts in the controversy are void
and ordering that both Walter Friffin
and NJ. S. Marshall be enioined from
further work under the terms Of them
It was the opinion Of the court that
the city has an ordinance governing
the cleaning Of alleys and as these con-
tracts attempted to provide a different
method and were therefore attempts
to amend said ordinance by rotion.
the entire proceeding was void since
ain ordinance can be amended only by
passing an ordinance
According to this reasoning it was
declared that neither Griffin or Mar
shall had a legal contract with the
city. In reaching this conclusion the
court didn't find It necessary to rule
upon the question as to whether the
mayor has the right to veto a motion
and that question therefore remains
unsettled
Whether the decision Of Judge
Bailey will be accepted al final il NOT
known positively but it il said that III
disposition to appeal the case has baea
manifested. As to what further action
may be taken BY the council nothing
has yet been said
The Griffin contracJ was awarded
at s2lOo per year and subsequently
when the mayor vetoed it, the council
vetoed three to three, two members
being absent. on the Marshall con
tract at sl1OO. the mayor casting ths

Held FOR
THEFT OF
A HORSE

The arrest Of supposed horse thief
that was made on suspicion by the
sheriffs force here Thursday night,
was further verified today when John
G. Lewis learned over the phone that
the officers at Cushing were hunting
for horse answering the description
Of the animal taken in town at che
time the arrest was made. The story
was withheld from publication until
some verification was made
The man arrested in possession Of
the horse was R. C. Martin, who form,
erly worked in this city for Webb
Neal The first intimation that the
Grady county officers had that they
had probably arrested the right man,
was an advertisement in the Anti
Horse Thief publication stating that
on last Saturday a horse had been
stolen from a pasture near Cushing.
The description fitted exactly and Mr.
Lewis called the Cushing authorities
at once. The sheriff Of that county
win be in Chickasha tonight or tomor-
row and viii take the horse and alleg-
ed thief back with him.
Thursday evening negro put in an
appearance at the sheriff's office and
stated that he had seen a gray horse
tied in the bushes east OF the Rock
Island tracks in Solthtown and had
seen man, wearing a six-shooter,
leave the bushes and start toward the
city This, he said, he had seen in the
morning.
1 Immediately the officers went to the
spot, but the horse was gone and a
search Of the entire section availed
nothing. About o'clock in the even

was found tied in the weeds east OF
the Collins Cotton company. J. A
Thompson and Jim Dillon took posi-

from a skull fracture, and WITH his
chest severely injured. Jack Turner

that occurred in the Rock Island yards
about 7:40. At noon today he was
alive but in a most critical condition,
with only a Slight chance for recovery.
According to the best information
obtainable, no one saw the accident
and the first knowledge anyone had
that an accident had happened was
when the engine crew Of switch en-
gine No. 60 saw a man lyiag on the
main line of the Rock Island, about
95O feet south Of the road crossing
north of the depot. The engine and
switch crew had been at work in the
north end Of the yards switching cars
onto the house track and other sidings
in that section
The "Firefly" was Just ready 70 pull
out and the switch engine had pulled
to the north end and was backing ONO
T. siding to clear the main line for the
departure Of the FREELY Two cars
attached to the engine were being
pushed ahead Of the engine AS the
switch engine passed down the siding
the enginemen saw a form lying OH the
main line track The engine was
stopped and Switchman Thompson,
who had been riding on the running
board Of the engine, rushed to the
prostrate form and saw that it was
Jack Turner.
An ambulance was called immediate
" and the injured man was taken tc
the hospital, where his wounds were
dressed. He was unconscious when he
was found and remained in stupor all
night, but this morning had partially
regained consciousness, not enough
however, to give any tangible account
OF the accident.
Only a few moments before the ac
cident occurred, Turner was seen wan
dering around in the yards slightly t,
the northwest Of the freight house. Thl

that is the last time he was seen be
fore the accident His location at tha
time was about 200 yards from tn
point where he was found lying on th
track, after the accident and the raj
road men are wondering how he ira
