ed in the LaBrasch hotel at Spirit

some difficulty and was considerably
affected by smoke. The child was sent
TO Wimbledon as soon as possible to
be cared for.

It remained for l.. n. houston and
DR.. Hugh Scott, register and receiver
respectively Of the Guthrie land OIL
ice, to establish the latest precedent
each having rendered his resignation
to the department several months dS7.
Today the two officials received no
tice that the designations had been
accepted, effective February LIST.
Judge l.. ~ Houston was appoint
ed to the Guthrie station in October,
1910, by President Roosevelt. He sue

ever possible.
Dr. Hugh Scott, who came here from

building provision was made for large
quarters to be occupied by the land
department
DR.. Scott will leave for New Or
