IS VICTIM
OF FLAMES

Lawton, Oklahoma, December 49,
Josie, the eleven year old daughter
of L. A. Tucker was burned to death
in a fire which destroyed the resi-
dence of Raymond Carmichael, 205
Summit, at midnight last night, and
the six months old baby Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Carmichael was SC badly burned
that there is little hopes of saving its
life. The charred body of the little
Tucker girl was taken to the Ritter
undertaking parlors and physicians
worked until late dressing the wounds
OF the baby and of Il. A. Tucker, who
made desperate attempt to save the
life of his little daughter. Both Mr.

she thought she was dreaming and
ran out of the house She then real

the burning building and clasped her
baby in her arms, again gaining the
yard. Here she laid the baby upon
the ground, screaming meantime at
the top Of her voice for help. She at
once re-entered the burning building
in an attempt to save her little sister,
cropping over the bed with her hands,
but the little girl was not there. The
smoke and flames at once drove her
again to the outside, where she fell
upon the ground
Father on Scene.
Her father, E. A. Tucker, had heard
her screams and ran to her assistance.
When he found his little daughter was
still in the burning house he forced
an entrance through a window and
pulled all the bed clothes from the
bed in frantic effort to find the lit
lie girl, but found the bed vacant.
When he emerged his hands were
badly burned and his hair and eye
brows scorched.

City Jailer GunneIls and George

at Adjourned Session
Tonight
TAKE STEPS FOR
AUDIT OF BOOKS
Resolution Requesting Governor to
Send Examiner Will Be For
warded at Once Christmas
Money for Employees

That the adjourned meeting Of the
city council to be held toaight will
rival in interest and consequence the
investigation of certain police officers
some two years ago, and at which time
the charges were declared unfounded,
was evident by the skirmish engaged
in at the councils session last night.
While the proceedings last night
we're not exactly in the nature of
charges, at least the discussions and
attempted definite action showed that
something is due tonight. The begin
ming of the discussion was when AL
derman Hayes made motion to the
effect that Chief Hugh Anderson be
instructed to ask Howard Gunnells,
city jailer, for his resignation The
motion was seconded by R. M. Cavett.
but when it came to a vote was lost,
four to three. Caneman, Harbour,
Lorensen and Neal voted No." while
Cavett, Hayes and DuBose voted for
the passage of the motion.
1t is understood that the reason for
the action was alleged neglect of duty
and not strict adherence to sobriety,
according to reports that are said to
have come to the city dads. The idea
of the meeting tonight is to give Mr..
Gunnells hearing on the PROPOSE
tion.
1t is understood also that the session
tonight will make certain investiga-
tions into charges lodged against
Police Officer Brown. The charges
were reported to members Of the
council and to the mayor some days
ago by an Elk City man who held that
he had been insulted by Brown.
In reply to the communication sent
two weeks ago to the state examiner
and inspector, requesting that man
be sent from that office to Chickasha
for the purpose of auditing the city's
books, a communication from that Of
flee was received, outlining the neces-
sary procedure 1t was stated that
according to law, a resolution must
be passed asking the governor OF the
state to send man for the purpose OF
auditing the books. The matter would
then be referred to the examiner and
inspectors office and the wishes ex-
pressed. in the resolution would be
complied with.
Resolutions to that effect were pass
ed by the council and the city clerk
was instructed to forward them at
once to the governor. The expenses
to the city will be So per day and all
expenses for the man sent to do the
work
A petition was made to the council
asking that members of the Church OF
Christ be allowed to hold services In
the auditorium of the city hall on one
Sunday in each month. The request
was granted by the council.
In accordance with the usual Gus
tom Of the administration a resolu
tion was passed ordering the cit.
