RAW COP BEATS UP
OEFENSELESS JAG

That a club in the hands of a raw
policeman is vicious weapon was
forcibly exemplified in front Of the
Gem theatre Friday night when Cy
Ewing, a plain drunk, was overhauled
by Morgan, new police officer
The inebriated man, while harm
less, showed some resistance. The
police recruit at once showed excite
ment, and instead Of calling assist
ance and plotting the jag to the call
aboose, proceeded TO WELD his club
with all his corn fed strength.
The drunken man was so badly cut
and beaten over the hesd that the
services of a surgeon were required
to sew up the mans wounds.
A large crowd gathered and jeered
the policeman. Several ladies were
witnesses to the disgraceful scene.
The city federation is incensed over
the affair and will demand that Com
missioner Carter remove the brutal
cop from the force.

DR.. Sharer manager of the bath
house made a very interesting talE
detailing what had been done by the
institution during the past year what
was being done now and what was
contemplated for the future. He
showed by actual figures that the
showing made by Guthrie in the first
year OF its history as a health resort
was better than any of the other
famous resorts of the country had
been able to make until about the
tenth year or later. He said that
with the operation OF the entire
citizenship they would be able to
make the bath house a complete suc-
cess from this on. Other speakers
spoke Of the great possibilities for
Guthrie in the mineral waters and the
bath house.
The Importance of Guthrie push
ing the search for oil or gas to an
early success w0s brought out and
the meeting FOR time became an
enthusiastic one for oil. 1t is said
that oil and water do not mix but /
they surely did to good advantage
last night and it was the unanimous
opinion Of all present that the well

put down to three thousand feet at
once and most OF the men showed
faith in their opinions by backing
