WILL
FIGHT REFUND
Of INDIAN TAX
CONFERENCE HELD WITH FORTY
COUNTY ATTORNEYS FROM OLD
INDIAN TERRITORY - 100000
is AMOUNT INVOLVED.

Oklahoma City June Ia meeting
of about forty county attorneys from
old Indian Territory counties was held
here today with Attorney General
Freezing and his assistant J. H. Nj.
ley. Plans were made to res.5t pay
ment of about half a million dollars
claimed in actions thai nave been
begun as having been wroCgfully col
lected as taxes. Most of the actions
have got no further than the county
commissioners, but in a lew eases
they are in the district courts, and
in two cases in the supreme court.
Two counties have already issued
bonds to pay the claims, amounting
to $4,000 in each case.
1t is the intention of Attorney
General Freezing to contest these
cases to the last resort. They grow
out of the assessment of Indian
homesteads, both before and following
alienation. The right of the counties
to levy such taxes is not established
as yet, but there has been much
litigation on the subject.

NEW BOARD
MUST NOW Be
APPOINTED
RESIGNATION OF OLD BOARD
LAST NIGHT LEAVES THE CITY.
WITHOUT ONE - WHO WILL
BE ON NEW BOARD?

Who will compose the new ceme-
terry board? This is a question that
was repeatedly asked on the streets
this morning when it was learned
that the old board had resigned and
that the city at present is without a
cemetery board.
The men who composed the old
board are among the best known
citizens of the city, and many com
ments were heard relative to their ac.
tions in quitting their jobs. The posi-
ton is purely honorary, and will
probably be accepted by some who are
Interested in Rose Hill cemetery.
There is a great deal of work to be
done at the cemetery. 1t has been
neglected for number of years. be-
cause of lack of funds, but, since the
recent legislature has made it possible
to levy taxes for cemetery purposes,
the city administration hopes to have
it cleared of weeds and otherwise
made beautiful
At the regular meeting of the city
commissioners last night no success
ors were named, but it will probably
be done at called meeting of the
board this week.

To CAP PTURE Of
HORSE THIEF
WAS MAKING EFFORT TO DIS.
POSE OF TEAM IN LOVE COUN-
TY WHEN SUSPICION BECAME
AROUSED.

A set of harness, reported to the
police department as having been
stolen, led Assistant Chief of Police
Frasher to a trail which eventually
ended in leading horsethief to the
county Jail, where he later confessed
to the crime, and resulted in the
restoration of the team to its rightful
owner.
A pair of stray mules were taken
to the city pound, and man, giving
his name as Pierce, came, paid the
fees and claimed the animals. His
actions aroused the suspicion of the
assistant chief, who began an inves-
tigation at once, which resulted later
in the arrest of Pierce.
A neighbor of Pierce, living on
West Main street, reported to the
police that he had lost a set of har-
ness and various other articles from
his stable, and suggested that Pierce
might be the guilty party.
About this time, Pierce left town
with a horse, buggy and the two
mules. At the time this fact was
ascertained, a phone call came from
Marietta from a farmer, stating that
he had purchased pair of mules
from an Ardmore man, and wanted
to know If the title to the animals
was good. He further stated that
the party offered for sale a horse,
buggy and harness at a small figure.
The owner of the harness went to
Marietta and secured the set of har-
ness that had been stolen, and Of
fcers arrested Pierce and brought him
back to this city. When he was
questioned at the city Jail, he denied
his guilt, stating that he had pur-
chased the harness from a stranger
but he was taken to the county Jail,
where he confessed his guilt. and
the case was turned over to the
county.
The owner of the mules was located
in Oklahoma county. but the owner
OF the horse and buggy has not been
ascertained. In the meantime, Pierce
is in the county Jail, awaiting a pre-
liminary hearing.
