WARDEN DICK
WILL Be RE-
APPOINTED
NOW BELIEVED GOV. WILLIAMS
WILL RETAIN PRESENT WAR
DEN At THE STATE PENAL IN
STITUTlON.

Oklahoma City, Okla, June 21.-
There has been deep interest among
politicians of this state ever since the
election of Governor Williams as to
his probable choice of a warden for
the penitentiary at McAlester. The
present warden, II. w. Dick of Ard
more, has held the place under the two
former state administrations, and his
conduct of the prison has been com
mended in many quarters and con-
demned in others. His system of hon
or credits and TRUSTEES is unique The
prison at McAlester is different from
most other prisons because of the lib
critics allowed men who are believed
to be worthy of them.
1t was believed for some time that
Governor Williams would appoint an
other man to the McAlester place. 1t
is now believed in circles that are in
formed that Warden Dick will be re-
tanned in his place at McAlester.

DIRECT ROUTE
To THE CAPITAL
|S|N VIEW
CoMMlS SSloNERS WILL MEET THE
MURRAY COUNTY COMMISSION
ERS AT COUNTY LINE-DlREcT
ROUTE TO OKLAHOMA CITY.

The board of county commission
ers adjourned yesterday afternoon,
and will meet again next Monday
when they will finish as a board OF
equalization. Several matters are to
come before the commissioners on
| this occasion. Among others the
question of repairs to steel bridges
which have been damaged by the re
cent high waters in various streams
of the county.
The commissioners found upon in
vestigation yesterday that the steel
bridges were protected by five-year
guarantee, and, as this time has not
expired in many instances, it will be
necessary for the builders to make
the necessary repairs under the terms
of their contract.
Yesterday several parties came be-
fore the board of county commits
sioners for adjudication of taxes,
among whom was the Corsicana Pc
troleum company, through its repre-
sentative, Judge W. L. Neel, who ask
ed that their property be assessed at
the same rate as other properties in
the field, which was granted by the
board
The board took action toward build
ing a road north from Springer to the
line of Murray county, connecting
with a road being built across that
county, direct to Oklahoma City. Muir
ray county voted bonds for. this pur-
pose, and work has already begun.
This county will have to build but a
short distance to reach the county
line, and then a direct highway to
Oklahoma City will be the result.
The commissioners stated that it
was practically settled that they
would build this road, and as soon
as the levy is made and the money
is available, work will begin. This
will be a great boon to those who
prefer to drive through the country
to Oklahoma City. At present they
are compelled to go several miles
from direct route over roads that
are anything but good at any season
of the year.

OFFICERS KILL TWO
LIQUOR hAULERS

Okemah, Okla, June 21.-Two un-
identified liquor haulers were shot
to death Monday noon one mile east
of Welty in Okfuskee county by S.
NJ. Wilson, sheriff, L. NJ. Boulware
and L. H. McDermott, deputy sheriffs
of Okfuskee county.
The men were hauling a wagon
load of beer toward Okmulgee coun.
ty, when they were overtaken by the
officers. Sheriff Wilson commanded
the liquor haulers to halt, and was
fired at by one of the men on the
wagon. The shot went wild, and the
man was instantly killed by the two
deputies. The second man on the
wagon reached for a revolver and
was killed by Wilson.

WILL CARTER
COUNTY HAVE
FREE FAIR?
WILL BE UP TO THE CITIZENS
OF THE CITY TO CAST THE DE-
GLIDING VOTE - COMMISSION.
ERS WILL ACT.

The question of whether Carter
county will have a permanent free
fair in the years to come will in a
large measure be left up to the citi
zens of the city who will be asked
to donate the necessary buildings for
such purpose.
The townships of the county have
organized, and want the fair. They
have selected two members from each
township to be the Carter County
Fair association, and now # is up
to the citizens of the city to decide
whether they will have the fair or
not. The city has agreed to donate
the old fair park and race track for
long term of years, but under the
provisions of the law, the fair is to
be held in any city in the county that
will donate the necessary grounds and
erect the buildings.
Secretary West of the Chamber of
Commerce, together with several of
the local business men, have the
matter in hand, and will 90 before
the commissioners when they meet
Monday, and tell them what they
have accomplished.
James r. Taliaferro, chairman of
the board OF county commissioners,
stated this morning that the board
is heartily in favor of the county fair
and will do anything in their power
to promote it, but, unless it could
be made a credit to the county and
city, they would not give it their ap-
proval or order the levy. in other
words, be stated that the city must
erect suitable buildings in which to
make the exhibits, and otherwise pro
vide the grounds, etc, 30 that the
fair would be a permanent institu-
ton.
The board can authorize a levy of
not to exceed one-half of one mill,
and, at the present valuation of the
county, this would raise approximate
ly four thousand dollars. None of
this money can be used, under the
law, for buildings or grounds, merely
for premiums. For that reason, if
Carter county has free fair associa.
tion, the buildings and grounds must
be donated.
The Ardmore Credit Mems associa-
ton meet in regular session tonight,
and no doubt the matter will be dis.
cussed by them. The sentiment here
seems to be for the fair, and it is
not doubted but what the business
men of the city will lend their aid in !
this movement.

Germans, al 'el,. he Teutons also are
reported to be d 'ng east OF. this
town, the investme emberg must
be so nearly compile. lat the Rus
SLAMS either must withdraw from the
Galician capital or leave portion OF
their forces there to be besieged.
The German General, Won Macken
sen, is reported to have seized the rail
way connecting Rawa Ruska with Lem.
berg, thus cutting off the retreat
northward of the Russians. According
to the latest news from the Austrian
headquarters, the Teutonic allies are
now within nine miles of Lemberg
Wonder IS expressed by German
military critics over the Austro-Ger,
man advance of the last few days.
They expected the Russians to make a
firm stand along the Grodek line. In
stead however Grand Duke Nicholas,
the commander in chief of the Rus
SLAMS, not only retired quickly from
this position, but evidently recogniz-
ing his dangerous predicament, also
ordered the withdrawal of the Russian
forces from south of the Dniester river.
An official Turkish report indicates
that there has been considerable ac-
tivity in the Dardanelles, with an al
lied battlship battering away at the
forts of Seddul Bahr.
In the west Paris continues to re-
port French advances, especially in the
region of Arras. Here, it is asserted
progress has been made in the direc-
tion of Souchez, and the capture of
several trenches has brought the at.
tackers near the northwest part of
the village. Further progress also is
reported in the Lorraine district and
in the Vosges. In the latter region
the French claim to have made an ad-
vance beyond the cemetery at Metze-
raj, the loss of which town is now of
ficially admitted by Berlin.
Announcement in Berlin today that
Emperor William assumed supreme
command of the opera--uns in Galicia
is interpreted here as an indication
of complete German confidence in the
final victory of the assault on Lem
berg, now regarded as so near at hand
that the generals who, during the last
across the province wish the emperor
to participate personally in expected
triumph.

Already thirteen steamers have left

In October of this year, according

tutions abroad S2.s16.974: general gifts
