PEAR WHEN "TRUSTY" GETS A

Andy Sheriff., black and husky,
was sentenced some time ago to
serve sentence in the city Jail for
stealing pair of shoes from an
other negro on the east side. He
was put at odd jobs about the bas-
tile and was given considerable
freedom by the officials
He was sent by the mayor to
do some cleaning up about his place
Saturday afternoon and later several
pieces of valuable jewelry were
missing. The officers took the trail
of Andy and he was captured last
night. After a social seance witt
the officers, he was induced to tel
where the plunder was, and later
if was recovered.
Andy will have considerable time
to donate to the county when his
case comes up for final hearing
and in the meantime, the mayor has
lost faith in all TRUSTEES.

WOMAN HELD ON
SERIOUS CHARGE
ALLEGED THAT SHE ADMINS
TERED POISON TO DECEASED
HUSBAND.

Alleging thar the death of her
late husband was surrounded with
suspicious circumstances and that
poison was administered to him.
Mrs. b. b. Askew Of Bromide was
placed under arrest here this morn
ing and taken to TishominSo by
Deputy Williams, where she will be
arraigned and her bond set.
Askew died at the Hardy sanItar-
nm here a few weeks ago. Rela-
tiyes of the dead man became sus =
picious and had the body eXhumed
for examination. The examination
made by local physicians did not
satisfy them as their report seemed
to conform to the statement Of the
physician in charge of the hospital
where he died, that death was cauS-
ed by some intestinal trouble. The
stomach of the deceased was sent
TO the state university at Norman
for analysis, but no report has beer
received from there.
Attorneys II. II. and Kelly Brown
went to Tishomingo this morning t'
represent the defendant, and state
that there will be no difficulty II
making her bond.

GRIEF AND RESPONSIBILITY.
By Ebert Hubbard,


To stand by the open grave of one
Won have loved and feel the SKY smut
down over less worth in the world IS
the supreme test.
TherG and then you prove your
worth, if ever.
You must live and face the day.
and each succeeding day, realizing.
that the moving finger writes ana
having written moves on; nor all your
piety nor wit shall lure it back to can
eel half line, nor all your tears wash
out line of it,
Heroes are born, but it is calamity
that discovers them.
once in Western Kansas, in the ear,
ly eighties | saw a loaded iour-horse
wagon skid and topple in going across
a gully.
The driver sprang from his seat and
tried to hold the wagon upright.
The horses sweryed down the ditch
instead of going straight across 1t ana
the overturnng wagon caught the
man and pinned him to the ground
Half a dozen Of us sprang from our
horses.
After much effort the tangled ami
mails we're unhitched and the wagon
rshted.
But the man was dead.
In the wagon were his wife and
six children. the Oldest boy of -.
All were safely caught in the canvas
top and escaped unhurt
We campcd there, not knowing
what elise to do. We Strengthened
the mangled form of the dead, and
covered the body with a blanket.
That night the mother and the Old
est boy sat by the camp fire and
watched the long night away with
their dead. The stars marched in sol
,mn procession across the sky The
SLOW. crawling night passed. The first
faint flush of dawn appeared in the
east.
lay near the camp fire, my head
pinowcd on saddle, and heard th'
widowed mother and her boy talking
in low but earnest tones.
I'VE must go back, We must 90 baci
to Illinois, 1t is the only thing t'
do" / heard the mother moan.
And the boy answered; Mother lis
ten to what ! say; we will 80 on-w'
will go on. We know where fathe
was going to take us-we know Wha
he was going to do. We will so on
and we will do what he intended t
do. and. if possible, We will do it bel
ter. We will go on"
The first burst of pink in the cas-
had turned to gold. Great streaks c
light stretched from horizon TO zer
it'll. | could see in the dim and haz
light the hobbled horses grain
across the plain a quarter of mil
away.
The boy OF Il arose and put fu'
on the fire. After breakfast | sa
that boy get a spade, shovel an
pick out of the wagon. With ii
help of others a grave was dug theI
on the prairie.
The dead was rolled in a blank
that was tied about with thongs aft,
the fashion of the Indians. Lines WEI
taken from the harness and we lowe
cd the body into the grave.
saw that boy pat the mound WI
the back of the spade.
saw him carve with awkward, bo
ish hands the initials of his fathe
the date of his birth, and the day
his death. l saw him drive the 81;
down at the head of the grave.
saw him harness the four hors
and help his little brothers and siste
