Discouragina a Vocalist.

Why certain parrot never learned
to talk, Current Opinion tells in
these words:
Kerrigan went on trip to South
America, and while there bought a
pretty Spanish parrot as present
for his friend OBrien He shipped
the bird to O'Brien at once, and when
he got back home, he said:
"Dinny, did ye get the fine parrot
| sint ye from Rio laneiro?'
Il did that. Kerrigan, and | want to
tell ye that never put me teeth into
a tougher bird in me life!"

Governors Veto Over-riden

For the first time in the history of
Oklahoma the senate went over the
veto power of the chief executive,
the bill requiring railroads to main
tain hospital service within the state
for their employees, when the funds
for the maintenance of such service
is provided by employees. The bill
does not carry the emergency clause
and the constitutionality of the SEN
ate's action ia not questioned.
An attempt to repass the Vande-
venter bill, which sought to establish
a pa cent railroad fare on all rail-
roads in the state, over the governors
veto, failed to receive the necessary
majority Of 33 votes which is required
for the repassage Of emergency meas
ures. The vote Of the Vandeventer
bill was 26 to 10.
The other two measures the gov
ernor has vetoed, that reducing the
salary of the warden of the peniten-
tiary from $4,000 to $1,000 a year and
placing his appointment in the hands
of the prison board Of control and the
bill abolishing the office of the state
enforcement officer are emergency
measures and were defeated by fail
ure to receive the necessary 33 votes
to carry emergency measures over a
veto.
Blind School Tc BE Moved
The Oklahoma School for the Blind

Acting upon the recommendation of
Governor Cruce thai this Institution

larger city where the inmates might

Senator Garrett introduced meas.
ure in the senate providing for the
permanent location of the school at
Muskogee and setting aside suffi.

and the construction of the necessary
buildings. The bill carried in the leg

law when the signature of the cover.

Bryan Has a Fist Fight.

President c r. Bryan of the state
board of agriculture has probably in
volved himself in serious trouble with
the house of representatives by termi-
mating an argument with Representa-
tive Halsell of Durant with a blow
of his fist that knocked the aged legis'
lator to the pavement. The alterca-
ton took place at Second street and
Broadway.
Mr.. Bryan appeared before the bar
OF the house to make, SO the house
understood, an apology for his action,
but when he corrected the speakers
statement that he had asked to be
allowed to apologize to the house by
stating that he had not asked to ap,
pear and wanted the house to under
stand that he came before it simply
because the special committee named
to look into the matter had asked
him to do so, dozen members were
instantly on their feet protesting an
grily, and upon motion Of Lenox of
Okmulgee, he was asked to leave the
hall.
Il is understood that formal charges
will be presented to the house and an
attachment issued
A statement of the facts appears to
be that Representative Halsell and
Senator Mcintosh, both of Durant,
were discussing some matter at Sec
ond street and Broadway; that Mr..
Bryan Joined them; that there was
some argument over a minor bill
touching upon the duties of the board
Of agriculture; that Senator Mcintosh
moved away; that Mr.. Bryan angered
at some remark by Representative
Halsell connecting the board of agri.
culture and grafters, knocked him
down.
Representative Hlalseil DIS an old
school teacher, and one of the elderly
men of the house.
The bill appropriating $4,000 as a
deficiency for the state mining board
for the year ending July /, 1918, was
passed finally by the senate, as was
also the bill providing an appropria
tion for the state librarian, who shall
receive $1,000 year, and assistants
at $1,000 each year. Heretofore
an appropriation has only been pro
Wider for the librarians salary and
the salary of the assistant had to be
paid from a contingent fund.

TRIED TO HOLD UP
DOCTOR IN AUTO
BOLD Attempt Made on DIR. William
f. Verdi Near Durham Last
Night.
SHOTS FIRED AT THE CAR.
Two Go Through WindsIieId-Es-
capes BY Speeding Up His
Machine.

Middletown, Nov. 14-Dr William
F. Verdi. a prominent surgeon of New
Haven, was attacked by two supposed
"holdup" men, who fired a number of
shots at him, on the New Haven turn
pike between Durham and Northford
about 10 o'clock last night. DIR. Verdi
was in his automobile with his chauf-
feur, on the way from Midd1etown to
New Haven. The machine was going
rather slowly and the two men
jumped out from the under brush be-
side the road and one of them cried
out to the two occupants of the car:
Throw up your hands!
DR.. Verdi, who was driving the car
himself, instead of stopping, threw on
the high speed gear and speeded
away at about sixty miles an hour.
The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1913-11-14

The two "holdup' men, who had
jumped in front of the car, got out
of the way hastily and opened fire
with their revo1vers. DR.. Verdi and
his chauffeur leaned low in the ma
chine as the bullets whistled by them.
Two of the bullets crashed through
the windshield and several more
struck the rear of the car.
The two supposed robbers were
masked and neither DR.. Verdi nor hia
chauffeur could give a good descrip
ton of them. One of their assailants,
they believed, was a negro. The
other was above medium height.
There was another hold-up of
similar character almost in this same
spot a short time ago. The Middle
town police think it possible that both
were committed by the same men
The attempted hold-up was not
known here until the police were noti-
fed by a long distance telephone call
from New Haven, where DR.. Verdi
reported 1t upon his arrival. Immedi-
ate steps were taken to notify all the
towns and police officials in that dis
trict.

SO Danny led the Way to the Lone

sighed with relief. for here he could
jump without getting all tangled up in
long grass and without hurting his
tender feet on sharp stubble where
the grass had been cut. But Danny
felt more worried than ever. He
