SUPREME COURT TO Be
GIVEN JURISDICTION
CASE IN HUGH COURT WILL
DECIDE TAX PENALTY
OWNERSHIP

The open, flagrant and successful
violation of liquor and gaming laws
that has marked the social surface OF
oil field counties and made Tulsa a
reputation that is now receiving at
tention from the Attorney General,
under instructions from the governor
of the state, forms subject that is
sure to be presented to the legisla-
ture when that body shall meet again.
The interest that has beer taken
by Governor Williams in this situa-
tion and in the possible remedies for
1t has been intense As O result OF
the study Of conditions that an un-
healthy public sentiment has fortered,
1t is the intention of Governor viii
liams 70 submit to the legislature a
plan for reaching such conditions
without cireulloeuton and without
hazard as to the result This will be
to give the supreme court Jurisdiction
over such eases when any citizen or
official shall make the proper showing
IN hat court to give the supreme
court power Of suspension over all
couney ana city or village ollicers, (.
and to give that court complete juris-
diction over the cases involving yio-
lation OF the liquor and gaming laws,
and especially over cases involving
failure on the part OF officials to en-
force such laws:
That the legislature will view the
suggestion with favor, seems to be
likely, owing to the length to which
law yiolators have gone in some sec
tons of the state and the necessity
for sending the attorney general to
such sections to enforce the laws.

JAY EsTus. BRAVE
MAN, CALLED BLUFF
MUST TAKE CONSEQUENCES AND
OLD PALS SAY WHAT HE WILL
GET WILL BE A-PLENTY

Jay J.. Estus, the popular Mulhall
druggist. has for years been adjudged
a confirmed bachelor by every one
except his best girl, Miss Mable
Brown. All the men, and most girls
have accused him of all degrees Of
bachelorism from girlish timidity to
chrome yellow. Out of pure sympathy
for the young lady as these winter
night winds began to howl and search
the recesses of lonely bedrooms, THIS
sympathy has been taking on tangible
and practical forms, until in despera-
ton the young men of Mulhall raised
a pot of $50 to pay for Thanksgiving
banquet for all the marriageable
young men and girls in Mulhall, CIV
ing Jay the alternative of calling
them or footing the bill of the ban
quet himself. Jay played a begging
game all last week, but late Satur-
day night he and Miss Brown quietly
stole away and were married early
morning in Oklahoma City.
The happy couple viii reach Nulhall
in time for the banquet, but the men
have now raised another $50 which
hey are investing in dynamite bonhs
md other forms of ammunition, de-
,laring that they will pull off grand
celebration every night for the next
week after the couple returns home.

countryside was so beautiful. A whis-

train wheezed to standstill, grunted
and moved on, leaving a solitary pas
senger on the platform.
All Archer's pleasant anticipations
vanished with his first glimpse OF
Miss June Rose, plain-featured young
woman, dressed in severely cut gray
cloth suit. She wore a mannish pana
ma hat, like his own, and her red lips
were set in stern, uncompromisinG
line. Archer decided that her large
gray-green eyes were her best fea
ture. The lashes were long and thick
and black and curling in strange con
trast to her vivid red hair.

smile and advanced with barred hea(

warmth of the June sunshine.
