JAIL BREAK
WAS MADE
At SULPHUR
THREE MEN SAW A HOLE
THROUGH ROOF AND MAKE
COMPLETE ESCAPE SHERIFF
SCOURS COUNTRY.

Sulphur, Okla, Aug 22.-Adalee
Skaggs, Brady Koonce and John
Smith, prisoners in the Murray coun-
ty jail made a daring escape Thurs
day night, which was accomplished
in the novel manner of saving a hole
through the roof of the runway and
jumping to the ground by way OF a
small poultry house a few feet from
the Jail. Jailor Duncan had allowed
the prisoners the use of the runway
through the day because of the great
er comfort to the prisoners. Just
about dark, when Jailor Duncan was
busy elsewhere, the prisoners COM
pleted the work of saving through the
roof and were dropping to the ground
from the poultry house when Leon
ard Williams, a small boy, across
the street at the Mckenzie hotel, saw
the escaping prisoners. BY the time
the iailor reached the place, under
cover of darkness, the prisoners had

prisoners but up to a late hour they
were still at large.
Duncan says he has one trusty at
the Jail, but is sure from all he has
been able to learn that the trusty
is innocent of completely in the es-
cape, and there is as yet no clue to
the identity of the party furnishing
the saw.
Adalee Skaggs was in for Jail
sentence of six months. Brady
Koonce had been sentenced during
the present term of the district court
TO serve two years in the peniten-
tiary for burglary and John Smith
was awaiting trial at the October
court for introducing whiskey.
Three other prisoners, one under
sentence for year and day, and
one for fifteen years in the peniten-
tiary, were also in the runway, but
made no attempt to escape.

CIVIL SERVICE
Knocked Into Cooked Hat and Thrown
Out of the Window.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Figuratively
speaking, the house of representativ
es has knocked civil service into {
cooked hat and thrown it out of the
side window.
Representative Cullop of Indiana
in a rousing speech, declared war or
the system that is so obnoxious tc
every true sportsman and led the
charge. Greatly to his surprise, Rep
an leader Of the house, shouted to his
men: Come on, boys" and fell in
behind the martial Cullop, with the
result that the house, by an over
whelming vote of rs yeas to 25 nays
adopted the Cullop amendment, which
knocks the everlasting tar out of the
civil service as applied to the post.
offices of the United States.
Here is the Cullop amendment,
which the house adopted with a
whoop in committee of the whole:
Hereafter, any assistant postmas-
ter, clerk or employe in any post of.
flee who may be required by law or
by authority of the postmaster gen
eral to execute a bond to the United
States to secure faithful perform
ance of official duty may be required
to also execute bond to the post
master whose assistant clerk or en-
ploye he is for the faithful perform
ance of his duties as such in the
discretion of the postmaster general.
The postmaster in all such offices
shall have the power to select his as
sistant postmaster, all clerks and EN-
ployes, irrespective of any civil ser
vice law to the contrary. and all laws,
regulations and order in conflict with
this act are hereby repealed and null
lifted, provided that all such appoint
ments shall be for period of four
years"
The net effect of the Cullop amend
ment If approved by the senate, is
to give each postmaster the power to
appoint his assistant and all clerks
and employees under him, and at one
fell swoop it would take $4,000 postal
employees out of the civil service, of
whom $500 would be assistant post
masters. In sounding the call to bat
tie on the civil service, Cullop said
that when President Andy Jackson
was told that a man could become
so experienced in an office that no
one else could fill it he said:
Tell me the name of the office
and I'll abolish it."
The civil service commission, Cul-
lop said, now controls 100000 Of
fees, which is altogether too much
authority for three men. 1t was high
time that power is de-centralized, he
said The commission, he said is us
ing their offices to create a machine
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-08-23

TO work against the democratic
party.
"The postmaster said Cullop,
"knows better what the community
wants than commission 1000 miles
away 1t is not always a good edu-
cation that makes good public ser
want. Honesty, tact, industry and
ability to meet people are a better
equipment than mere school educa-
tion and ability to answer silly ques-
tions propounded by the civil SER
vice commission"
At first there was some doubt as to
the tactics of Representative Mann
and his republican cohorts in going
to 1t with such avidity when they
lined up for the Cullop proposition,
but it develops that they did so in
order to cruelty the democratic con
gressmen on a civil service cross,
The vote here on the Cullop amend
ment was in committee of the whole,
where there is no record vote. If the
amendment had been defeated there
would have been no record to show
how the democrats voted Now that
the amendment has been carried ii
will go into the house of representa-
tives to be acted on again, this time
on record, roll call vote, and every
democrat will have to fish or cut
bait
Many of them would about as soon
jump into the Potomac river as to
vote on this proposition on a roll
call. They do not want to do so much
violence to the civil service, but they
realize that if they do not go the
limit "the boys" back home, who see
red whenever civil service is men
toned, are likely to carve them up
considerably.
"The democratic congressman who
goes on record against my amend
ment will find a hot reception await
ing him at home, sure as you are
born," said Cullop.

1860 was Sunday. We met that
day at church at Pilot Point. Texas,
after church services were over we
returned to our homes, secured our
clothes and about o'clock p. m, we
started to Sherman. Texas. to join
a surveying company. We arrived
at Sherman about s o'clock Monday
morning, May 81. We Joined the com
pany that day. We were to get $25
per month each, horse and saddle
furnished, a six-shooter and a rifle
each. We were informed that we
were going into an Indian country
and that we might have to fight in
self defense.
We left Sherman on or about June
l, with three wagons, with six mules
to each wagon, one ambulance, eight
men mounted on horseback Our
company was composed of 16 men
all told Our commander was Capt.
Russell of Austin Texas. He had
contracted with the governor of Tex
as to survey the east and north line
of the Panhandle of Texas. We cross
ed Red river at Colbert's ferry, thence
to Fort Washita. When we got to
Fort Washita we found a captain of
the United States in command of
a company of cavalry guarding the
country. From there we went to-
thence to Fort Arbuckle,
in passing through from Tishomingo
to Arbuckle we passed through the
territory now called Carter county.
There was a dim wagon road all the
way to Fort Arbuckle. We travelled
south of the Arbuckle mountains un-
til we got within 20 miles of where
Ardmore now stands, then we travel
ed north and passed over the country
where Pooleville now stands, thence
over hills and rivers until we reached
Arbuckle. There we found well
regulated fort with two companies
of cavalry commanded by major of
the United States regular army. We
stopped and rested one day. From
there we went to Fort Cobb on the
Washita river. There we found three
Or four companies of cavalry guard

reservation. We camped there about |
, week and we had good time with |
he officers, soldiers and the Indians. |
We brought from Sherman several |
gallons of snake-bite medicine, think |

To the Editor: Apropos of the
interesting newspaper discussions
concerning the location of the Pa
cific Highway southerly from Ash
land, l will venture word.
First. l have full confidence in
the good judgment and public spirit
of our county engineer in locating
this great highway with eyes single
to the accomplishment of efficiency,
directness and the greatest good to
the greatest number, keeping stead
lily in view the welfare of the tax
payers in whose interest this great
project is undertaken.
The small section of road embraced
in the discussion involves but about
four miles in all; each of the three
lines presented being about the same
in length, the shortest having less
than quarter of a mile advantage.
/ am leaving out the proposition
of Mr.. Davis as being wholly imprac-
ticable under the circumstances. His
proposition is to continue the line
OF the Ashland Boulevard in It's
straight course southeasterly to q
junction with the old Oregon and
California stage road and bring the
Pacific Highway over 1t. This would
be more direct but would involve 0
