It is stated on reliable authority that
he even went as far as to advise the
Paris manager to pull certain pitcher
II he didn't want to lose the game.
The Durant fans are a law abiding
and easy going bunch, but the limit is
about reached, and IL President john
son does not heed their pleas for a
square deal umpire, they are liable to
forget themselves and cause trouble.
One thing is certain. Umpire vitter is
not satisfactory umpire and the Du-
rant fans Will not stand for many
more raw decisions like he gave us in
Thursdays game.
Those who witnessed the game are
proud Of the Durant team, and well
may they be. for prettier exhibition
of baseball was never seen in this or
any other league.

THAT Is-INNING GAME

Talk about ball games-the one
played on the local grounds Thursday
afternoon was sure some game. The
Durant bunch beat out the top-notch-
ers, who used three pitchers in a vain
effort to stem the tide, but to no avail,
and Speers bunch came home with the
bacon in the sixteenth inning. with a
score OF 6 to 5.
Chapman. who pitched Is innings for
Durant, was wild in the beginning of
the game. and allowed 10 bases on
balls. After that he frightened up and
gave the prettiest exhibition Of ball
ever seen In the TO. League. Paris
secured IL hits off him in the fifteen
innings, but they were well scattered
and the team behind him gave excel
lent support. Adams pitched the last
inning, after Chapman was disuuali-
fled by retiring in favor of pinch hit
ter.
The feature OF the game was the hit
ting OF Jimmy Wicks, Durant's third
baseman. who was at bat 8 times and
secured hits, three of which were
home runs. and all delivered when
hits and runs were needed. Campbell
also delivered the goods. when he was
put in as a pinch hitter and CLEANED
three bagger. The work OF Johns at
bat was also good, he getting three
hits.
Umpire yitter was either off bad
or attempting to throw the game to
Paris, for he gave many rotten decis-
ions, and all adverse to the local team

BAD B0OTLEGGER

Jess Began, charged with peddling
whiskey on four counts, was arrested
at Tom Coles home near Wade Thurs
day afternoon, after Deputy Sheriff
Zion and Constable Dave Wright of
Wade had chased him all over the
country, and then it was necessary
for Wright to knock him in the head
with his gun to make him submissive
to arrest.
Began came into Oklahoma from
across Red River and sold booze to
everybody in Albany who would buy,
and made no bones about it. Going
from Albany to Wade, he did land Of
flee business and defied the law to
get him. Following the trail, officers
were advised by every farmer they
met that a booze peddler was selling
to everybody on the road and that
they would have to hurry to get him
Began is also charged with carrying
a pistol, which he tried TO draw on the
officers, when Dave Wright knocked
him down with the muzzle Of his gun,
cutting cash in his head four inches
long, which required medical attention,
and after which he was brought to
Durant without trouble. Began is re-
puted to be a tough customer and a
dangerous criminal.

Washington, June 19.-Congressmen
are slow to unite in anyone conclusion
on given proposition, but It has been
pretty definitely decided that the con-
tracts Of ]. F. McMurray Of McAlester,
with individual members OF the Five
Civilized Tribes, should never be rec
ognized, and that they represent moth
ing more or less than hugs grab, in
which McMurray, officials of several
Indian organizations, and close friends
would share.
A few days ago, when the Senate
Indian Affairs Committee inserted an
amendment in the general Indian ap-
preparation bill designed to "spuelch"
the contracts, McMurray agreed to
surrender his claims on any part of
the tribal estate when final settle

and was unable to collect his money

suit to collect from the city.

COLLECT CITY CLAIMS

Since the examination of the city's
financial condition by Mr.. e. w. Mat
thews, from whose report It was found
that the city owed altogether the sum
Of, $l6,977.s7, and was without funds
to pay. making it necessary to issue
funding bonds to pay the debts, there
has been much discussion over the
proposition as to whether the claim
ants against the city will be able to
collect what is Justly due them with
out an additional expense.
Mr.. Matthews, individually, made a
proposition to the creditors that they
employ him as trustee to bring suit
against the city for all the claims in
one lump, and letter was addressed
by him making that proposition to
creditors of the city. His method of
procedure was to secure a power OF
attorney from each claimant against
the city, and bring suit for all claims
at once in his own name, himself en-
ploying an attorney and bearing ex-
penses of the suit, snd for that service
he asked the creditors to pay him five
percent OF the amount of the claim re-
covered, which on the amount of the
Indebtedness, had al ! creditors ac-
cepted the proposition, would have
amounted to approximately 5000. How
many of the city's creditors accepted
Mr.. Matthews proposal has not been
learned. and no suits of such kind have
been filed of record as yet
The city council at meeting Tues
day night read letter from Mr.. w. A.
Brooks. who proposes to buy these
funding bonds II they are issued, ard
a motion was passed by the council
that the city clerk instruct all claim
ants to file their claims with him.
when the city would take the necessary
legal steps. and try to secure for
claimants money for them without an
additional cost.
A number of the claims unpaid and
lncluueu III lne anOunI Ior Whlcn tne
bonds will have to be issued, are those
of city employees who have not been
paid for their labor performed in
January and February, and in some
instances even farther back than that.
These labor claims run as high as
$367.47, and it is grossly unfair that
poor men, who earn their livlihood by
the sweat of their brow in the city's
employ, should have to wait several
months for their wages, and then pay
a percent of the amount past due them
in order to get their money. In event
there are additional costs connected
with the payment of these claims the
city should pay it, and not the labor
ers.

No. 141 to that effect was passed by

New Orleans, La, Nov. 14-B. :.
Sandborn, the man found lying un-
conscious alongside the Orleans cana
in the rear of the city park last Sun
day night suffering from exposure, is
much improved at the Charity hospital.
1t is expected that he will be well
enough to leave the institution in a
week.
Sandborn is Sc years old and was
formerly in the employ of the New Or
leans Railway and Light company. He
came to this city about two years ago.
He was found lying on the grass by
a Mr.. Valmount, who was passing in
an automobile. Mr.. Valmount conveyed
the unconscious man to Louis Martin s
saloon at Alexander and iCty ParK
avenue. The ambulance was sum
moned and Sandborn was taken to the
Charity hospital. In his possession
was found note which read:
"My name is B. A. Sandborn. Notify

1t was at first believed that the man
attempted to commit suicide, but it
was found that his condition was due
to sickness, lack of nourishment and
exposure.

The rather startling fact grew out OF
the proposition to form the Dooly
