ASSERTS OFFICERS
SLEW BOY IN JAIL
FATHER ACCUSES OFFICIALS OF
SETTING FIRE TO JAIL TO HIDE
CRIME.

Hugo, Okla, Sept. 1S.-FollowinS
the eXhuming of the body of Will
Wortham, a young man who was burn
ed to death in the county jan at Fort
Townson, this county, a week ago last
Monday night, Thomas Workman, the
boys father, who was paroled from
the state prison by Governor Cruce
so that he could attend the funeral of
his son, demanded County Attorney
Warren today to issue warrants for
the arrest of two Fort Townson ofIic-
ers, whom he declares are responsible
for the death of his son.
The prosecutor, who is investigat-
ing the case which has created a
sensation, refused to issue the war
rants at the present time, alleging
the evidence is insufficient.
1t was generally supposed that
Workman fired the jail in an effort
to escape When the fire was discov-
cred, the Jail was almost destroyed
and Wortham's charred remains were
not found until the blaze had been eN-
tinguished. His relatives declare the
fire was started from the outside by
enemies of Workman and that the
fire was a deliberate plot TO kill the
young man.
When Wortham's body was eX'
humed it was found that his right
arm had been broken.

PETT|COAT CAFE
GREAT SUCCESS
COMING MONEY, AND MEN SEEM
WELL PLEASED WITH THE
ARRANGEMENT

In the village of Plona, Canton OF
st. Gail, the men petitioned recently
the local authorities to open calo
where they could obtain drinks anu
pass a pleasant evening. The women
folk, however, strongly objected, anu
the affair was dropped. The men IN
revenge, consequently visited the cares
in the neighboring villages and MADE
a point of returning home late at
night. The women of Plona then pc
titioned for the establishment OF a
cafe under their management, giving
ample financial and moral guaran-
tees, and the petition was granted.
The cafe was launched by the wo-
men OF the village and kept under
their control. Good drinks and food
were sold at a little over cost price,
and the farmers daughters took it in
turn to wait on the customers once a
week. and everybody is so well pleas
ed that there have been no more eX-
cursions to other villages and mid
night returns. The cafe is closed at
II p. m, and nobody who has had a
glass too much is allowed another
drink.
The "petticoat cafe" as it is nick
named is a distinct financial success
because the women give their ser
vices free, and buy the best in the
cheapest market and at the lowest
possible price.--London Standard.

Cauuht Bio Fish.

While Mr. and Mrs. NJ. d. Smith
were in Vermont this summer Mr.
Smith could tell the biggest stories
about the wonderful things in Ok
lahoma but Mrs. Smith could beat
him WITH rod and line. She caught
ten and half pound pickerel one
afternoon and they were never out
fishing together that she did not
catch more than he. At one place
where they stopped at a resort forty
persons took their meals there and
the Smiths undertook to supply the
table for dinner by fishing one al
ternoon. When they returned from
the lake their fish weighed seventy
pounds ana in this bunch was the
pickerel weighing more than ter
pounds.

TRAMPS COST
100000 EACH
DAY IN THE YEAR
Won't Work, Whole World Their
Prey and Jails a Welcome
Winter Home.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Nov. Is
THE cost Of tramps of the country
is 100000 a day" said Professor WILL
liam Bailey, of the chair of econo-
mics at Yale University in an address
on THE American Tramp" before
the Hope Church Brotherhood.
"Jails are of no value in solving
the problem. Tramps discuss the rel
alive merits of lock ups and jails in
the various towns much as the or
binary citizen discusses summer re-
sorts.
after pros and cons have been
carefully weighed, the tramp decides
In which place he win commit mis-
demeanor which will esta blish him IN
a comfortable jail for the winter"
There are four grades Of tramps,
ranging from the lowest, the tomato
can" variety, TO gypsies. Professor
Bailey says. The former, with the
proverbial can strung over his Shout
der, is not exaggerated in the least
in comic magazine caricatures.
The tomato can tramp is old in ex
perience II not in years He knows
that he has not long to live, but seem,
not to mind this phase of existence
His outla attire often includes
two or three suits, one worn over the
other. He spends his days in begging
and sleeps in crates, on lawns or in
Railways.
Next above the Knights of the To-
mato Can are the "dossers," so-called
because they have the price of bed
In a doss house in which lodgings
may be had at from 5 to Is cents a
night. The "dosser" Is vain I'D COZ
sders himself respeCta BILE citizen.
: The everyday hobo" who comes
next in the scale, is more dignified
and of a higher grade of intelligence
than the "dosSer"
The gypsy is the highest type If
tramp, though the American gypsy is
not really a gypsy at all. The gypsy
has two or three wagons, several
horses, more dogs and often numer-
Gus children, His principal occupa
ton Is swapping horses. The WON en-
tell fortunes and the boys earn odd
nickels doing gymnastic stunts.
The common occupation of gypsies
is picking pockets. County fairs are
veritable gold mines for them, and
the average gypsy, has a fiourishing
bank account. The gypsy is the only
kind of tramp the authorities toler-
ate The gypsy is merely ordered to
move on, and as a result towns mere
ly swap undesirable characters, and
the gypsy, with his petty eXa sperat-
ing depredations, Is in fair way TO
flourish indefinitely.
