happened. were sitting clear Of the

work had progressed on the big
building TO the point where the frame
was almost complete, which work has
required the constant labor cf a crew
OF twenty men or more for a month.
The results OF that labor were wiped
away by the wind in a single moment.
Men who were at work on the build
ing today stated that during the morn

extent, but that at that time they did
not think there was any danger Of its
immediate collapse and paid little at
tention to the swaying of the big
frame. Hardly had some of the men
seated themselves at dinner, when the

Lawton, Nov. 20.-Arguments in the
case Of the SCOTS. charged with the
murder of George Norton were con
Quoted at o'clock and the case is now
with the jury. No verdict had been
reached at $3.50 p. m.
For almost ten hours Wednesday at
torneys argued the case before the
jury The court room was packed to
the doors all day and at night and
interest in the arguments of attorneys
was intense The instructions to the
jury as given by Judge J. I. Johnson
Wednesday morning were as clear and
concise as it would seem possible to
prepare, and attorneys for both sides
seemed to be impressed with their
fairness and the comprehensive man
ner in which the case was covered.
County Attorney 7. B. Orr opened
for the state and his argument was
pronounced as being the best effort Of
his career. He ccnfined his time most
ly to arguments and a review Of the
evidence, leaving the discussion Of the
instructions and the law in the case
TO his more experienced co-counsel.
j +. Michalson opened for the de-
tense and his calm, detailed analyza-
ton Of the evidence demonstrated that
not shred OF testimony on the part
OF many Witnesses had been overlook
ed. He drove home his argument with
a force and positiveness that he has
never previously displayed and his
arguments were logical and his deduc-
tons practical and reasonable.
Contrary to expectations, John A.
fain is not to close for the state, but
followed Mr.. Michalson. For three
hours and twenty minutes Mr.. Fain
reviewed and argued the case and
many pronounced his argument the
strongest they had ever heard. He
denounced the killing OF George Nor
ton as an assassination and expressed
confidence that verdict for the state
would be returned.
Col +. l.. Gregory followed Mr.. Fain,
II being the first time the Colonel has
faced a jury in eight years, not having
engaged in practice during that time.
He dwelt especially and frequently
upon the fact that Norton went to the
home of the SCOTS surrounded by his
employees and with loaded shotgun
in his buggy and weighed the testi-
mony Of the Scots against that of
John Smith, Ad Mcguire ard John Hor-
igan.
John F. Thomas spoke for an hour
last night, completing his arguments
this morning. Mr.. Thomas has taken
the initiative for the defense through
out the case and his discussion of last
night is evidence that not a single
shred Of testimony was introduced but
what he has stored in his memory
His faculty for finding the weak spot
in his opponents armor and hurting his
attack against that spot was demon
strated.

TEAM OFF
FOR SCENE
OF BATTLE

This evening on the "Firefly" a very
determined band of warriors will set
sail for Shawnee. wnere they do bat
tie tomorrow with the defenders Of
that gridiron for the highest football
honors in the state. Said warriors are
none other than the Chickasha high
school football team and while the
practice during the past week has not
been what it should have been, the
majority Of the team are determined
to win, or leave themselves scattered
about over the Shawnee field.
The team will LAY over" in El Reno
tonight and get a good nights rest,
leaving there early tomorrow morning
and arriving in Shawnee about noon.
The squad viii consist of Is men.
Capt. Goode will rely on an open style
Of play and will try to sew the game
up ia the opening moments Of the
play. The forward pass will be work
ed great deal, and together with end
runs will be the Chickasha attack.
The Chickasha line is one OF the best
in the state on defense. while the new
arrangement Of Ward on the end and
Gowdy replacing Heffner at safety. us
ing Heffner at end on defense, seems
to work better.
If the purple and gold can win over
Shawnee the state championship will
rest at Chickasha, when the Norman
game is wiped off the map on account
OF the ineligibility Of three players. If
Chickasha loses tomorrow, the 1913
football season will be history.
