ATTEMPTED HOLD.UP
OF CARNIVAL MAN

In Wednesdays issue we stated that
a supposedly crazy negro was arrest
ed the day before and taken to jail.
He was supposed to be full of hop
and his condition when found was con-
sidered serious. 1t now develops that
he had attempted to hold up a cashier
OF the carnival company while the lat
ter was on his way from the tents
TO the cars and the latter knocked
him out with Il billy or some other
weapon. Earlier in the evening two
shots were fired at him by another
member of the company when he was
found prowling about the cars.
The negro is said to be known to
members of the company, and he is
looked upon as a bad man.

WINDOW BROKEN
BY FIGHTERS

Last night about eleven o'clock sew
eral Mexican sheep shearers got into
an alteration in front of the Rein
hart Company store, and one of them
was Knocked through one of the big
plate glass windows. Officers Peck
and McMurtrey were quickly on the
scene but they succeeded in landing
only the fellow who broke the window.
He was badly cut about the head and
was otherfise injured A number of
stitches were required to close the
wounds.
The injured man told a disconnec-
ted story to the effect that he was
walking up the street when he was
assaulted by three other men who
knocked him through the window and
then fled. He claims that he did not
know any of them. The officers hold
the opinion, however, that he does
know the men who beat him up, but
for some reason is Withholding their
names. The officers are trying to
locate the other men, principally for
the reason that they might be forced
to ray the damage done to the store
window.

CARNIVAL MEN
HAVE SCRAP

II is well known fact that a lit
tie female of that certain class that in
habits dance halls can stir up more
hell in proportion to her weight than
anything else in the world, and it
seems that those connected with the
carnival company's 49.Camp are no ex-
cepticn to the rule. The officers re-
port that no end of trouble has been
caused here, and there is some talk
of causing the camp to be closed. A
couple of fights have occurred and
last night there was good prospect for
shooting scrape, all resulting, it is
said, from trouble which arose over
the camp.
1t reminds one of the verse of Kip
pings:
prayer,
Even as you and /,
To rag, and a bone, and a hank
of hair
We called her the woman who did
not care
iut the TOOL he called her his lady
fair,
Even as you and /.
One fight was pulled.off up town,
but in this the officers interfered be-
fore it had gone far, and the combat
ants were quieted. Both belonged to
the cCnrarr.
Late last ni%ht two other members
OF the company known as Dutch and
frenchie, had a lively scrap on the
carnival grounds and both were placed
under arrest. Blood flowed freely in
this scrap, and at least one gun was
flashed.
There are some very fine men con-
nected with the company. but there
are others whose room is preferable
to their company.

Friends of Harry II. Mayer, who is

yet by the senators in recommending
anyone for this place.
Much to the surprise of a postoffice
inspector who has just returned to
Washington from Sherman, Nevada,
he could find no one in the town who
wanted to be postmaster. He report
ed to the postmaster general that the
families in and near Sherman could be
served just as effectively by the star

there are no further developments, AS

INTERESTING NOTES
FROM WASHINGTON
Harry II. Mayer Has Been Recon-.
mended to Senators For
Postmaster, EIko

Serious consideration, it has Just
been learned, is being given the pc
tition of residents of Smoky valley for
the revival of the mail route down the
valley from Austin to Millett. A Pc
tition signed by many of the residents
oil the valley was received by Fourth
] Assistant Postmaster General j. L.
Blakslee recently, and this was fol-
lowed up by letters from Senator New
lands, who was sent a copy of the pc.
tttion and from others interested in
the reestablishment of the delivery
| route.
In the petition signed by residents
of the valley, Floyd o. Bone, who
formerly served the route, promised
the department that If bids would
again be asked by the department for
the carrying of this route, other bid
ders than himself would compete for
the contract

getting, inside of three or four years.
a larger, or indeed a more expensive
| building than the one now authorized.
1t was learned at the treasury depart
ment. Strong efforts have been made
by Senators Newlands and Pittman for
Fallon, with view to hurrying up the
work, and getting a better building
one which would be ample to include
the reclamation service and the Fed.
eral court.
The same difficulty is being expert
enced by other cities all over the
country, due to the fact that the of.
flee OF the supervising architect, in
which plans for all buildings are
drawn, Is more than two years behind

stood to be one of the plans by which,
not only the present administration,
but every administration for many
years, has held down appropriations
for public buildings. BY the simple
expedient of keeping several years be-
hind and with the work, and the re.
sulting impossibility of getting re.
suits quickly, the desire of congress.
men and senators to rush through
public building appropriations for
their own districts or states Is ma.
terially delayed. The individual sen.
ators or congressman also are prac.
tically helpless, since they know Il
would raise too much of storm TO
advance one particular case, when
every member thinks some town in
his district or state is actually the
worst treated in the country.
On the other hand, TO give the archl.
tcct enough draughtsmen to bring his
work up to date would result in such
volume OF public building appropri.
prlations as to swamp the treasury,

In New York.

New York Nov. 2.-ln addition to
the suffrage issue, a dominant fea-
ture of todays election is the ques-
tion of adopting a new State constitu-
ton as revised by recent state con-
stitutional convention presided over
by Elihu Root The new constitution,
at the request of the suffrage leaders,
has not been made to include the suf-
frage amendment, hence the constitu-
ton and the suffrage issue are being
voted upon separately, neither ques-
tion having anything to do directly
with the fate of the other. The fea-
lures OF the revised constitution are
measures designed to give the state
greater latitude in the managemnt of
affairs, and co-incidentally
to relieve the legislature of a vast
amount of local matters; to make the
governor more responsible individu-
al by making the numerous executive
arms OF the administration more di-
rectly responsible to him, to reform
the ballot and the judiciary system.

GUARDIANSHIP MATTERS

J. B. Moore. who has been APP
pointed by the federal government
to represent in the courts OF the state
the interests Of incompetent Indians,
mas made public a statement to the
effect that all guardians who have
not made their reports must do so at
once or he will bring proceedings to
oust them.
The matter OF guardianships has
been too long neglected in many parts
OF eastern Oklahoma. If all the
crimes committed against wards were
written in one book, the acts of all
the legislatures since statehood would
pale into insignificance in size when
compared with It, There are many
Instances where courts have connlyed
with guardians in misapproprlatins
funds of minor children and incom-
petents. Besides the downright
wrongs which have been practiced'
there Is another wrong which RODS
the child. but which does not seem
quite SO reprehensible These are
instances where fathers have been
made guardian OF the property OF
their children and have sold lands and
loaned or reinyested the money and
have lost it. The father in many
cases seems to be of the opinion that
whatever belongs TO his family be-
longs to him to do as he pleases with
it,
Mr. Moore is a very capable attor-
ney He is devoted to his duties as
a public official, and he will do vast
of good in his campaign 10
