Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. 1.-The
Oklahoma Central Railway was sold
today by its receiver at public auction
in Purcell to Francis X. Quinn of
Philadelphia, the only bidder. His bid
was 100000 and sole stipulations by
the court are assumed. Tomorrow the
road will be transferred by him to the
Oklahoma Central Railroad Company,
a corporation. which was started here
with a capital stock of $1,500,00O. This
company will in turn lease the road
10 the Santa Fe, which company is now
operating the property under a lease
made few months ago. The new
corporation will have principal offices
in Muskogee.
The incorporators are n. A. Gibson,
n. ID. Long, w. NJ. Cutlip, J. A. Latham
and George IL. Beasley, all of Musko-
gee. The road has no line into Musko
gee, nor has the Santa Fe. The Cen
tral extends from Lehigh to Chickasha,
Il distance of about 14O miles.

THE PEOPLES CONVENTION

Every voter in Carter county Will be
called upon next Tuesday to express
himself in behalf of the states best
interests This is a high privilege,
and no man in the county should fail
to vote, and vote intelligently his hon
est sentiments that day. Every man
should vote, and the man who fails
to exercise this privilege, conditions
being normal, is not performing his
duty as a good citizen.
OF course, every voter thinks he is
voting for the right man from COVER
nor to constable. While this assertion
seems true, would 1t not be sensible
for every voter in the county to re-
view the personnel of his favo,'te
before the ballot for them is cast, !

He is an all round good fallow, but
does he come up to the full require
ments of faithful, efficient officer;

pires? Shall ] foist upon the public
my friend, because love him? No, by
no means. No. Therefore | shall let
loose my friend, and vote for the
man who Is most competent politically,
morally and intellectually qualified for
the place.
Such a voter, one who can rise above
friendship and vote for the best in
terests of his country and state is a
patriot, and man whom his political
associates admire and respect
Can you, Mr.. Voter, get on this high
plane, and help Oklahoma in the peo-
pies convention, Aug. 4, 1914
One more appeal. Don't let the poll
tician do your thinking for you next
Go and vote your own mind.
Vote for your home, your wife and
your children. 1t is your solemn duty
to do this for the best interests of
society and the state.

Albert Solomon at Home"

Albert Solomon, the baker, is "at
home to his friends, and the chances
are very flattering that he will be
found there for several days to come,
through no fault of friend Albert's,
rather his enforced association with
his family was caused by the acci-
dental discharge of a .3S caliber Colt
pistol, which dropped from cot upon
which he was sleeping, and exploded,
the ball shattering his right ankle.
Mr. Solomon was sleeping on a cot
on the porch with the pistol under
his pillow, and when arising, the pistol
in srme manner was cast to the
floor, with the above result,

Friday was Hottest Day Of the Year


Friday was the hottest day of the
year The mercury here registered Ill
at the government observatory. Only
twice since 1902 has this point been
reached, on August IS, 1909, the same
figure was shown. The excessive heat
was relieved Friday night by cooling
showers that fell over practically this
entire section, and while 20 heavy
rainfall was recorded, the showers
were of benefit to the cotton crop and
served to cool the atmosphere. From
several points in this county heavy
showers were reported for a few mo-
ments, and at Mannsville, east of here,
the rain was sufficient to cause the
waters to rush through the streets of
that little city in torrents. Marietta,
Davis, Sulphur, Wapanucka, Madill, re-
port light showers, while to the west
from here, at Graham, Wilson, Heald.
ton and other points, good showers
were reported.
The atmosphere yesterday morning
was a relief to what it has been for
the past four weeks. and everybody
seemed in better spirits.

joining the town, and the robbers had
sought a grand field for operations.
They seemed to have vanished COM
pletely, however, leaving no clew be-
hind them. Then two evenings later
a new excitement set the village all
agog. BARLEY had bee Mound
wounded and insensible in waste
piece of ground about mile from
the village.
1t was Saturday night, and Worth,
apparently, had been on his way from
the neighboring town where he
worked, bent on his regular visit to
the Winston family, when attacked.
He had been struck on the head with
some heavy, blunt instrument. The
motive of the assault was mystery,
for. although his clothing had been
ransacked and torn, his money and
jewelry were intact.
For twenty-four hours Worth lay
insensible at the home of a relative,
whittier he had been removed. Then
fever set in, and for over a week
he was delirious or too weak to talk.
