CLUB HOUSE
COMPLETED AND FRAMEWORK
is GOING UP - WORK HAM,
PERED BY BAD WEATHER.

Work on the Dornick Hill County
club house is progressing as rapidly
as the weather will permit. The
foundation is completed and the
framework is being erected. The

recreation spot in this locality when
all is completed. The golf course
is said by those in position to be
ideal and the scenery is unsurpass
ed. The members have been work
ing hard to make the grounds at
tractive and the officers are to be
congratulated upon their efforts.

DOW BRAz|EL
ACQUITTED
BY THE JURY
RETURNS VERDICT YESTERDAY
MORNING AFTER BEING OUT
BUT A SHORT TIME - CASE
WAS HARD FOUGHT.

A case in the district court that
equalled any in interest since state
hood was finished Saturday morning.
when Attorney Moman Pruitt of Ok
lahoma City, as attorney for the
state, finished his closing argument,
and the case was given over to the
jury for their consideration.
In this case, wherein the defendant.
Dow Braziel, a special enforcement
officer commissioned as such by the
United States interior department.
was charged with the murder of Tom
Greenwood, which occurred Septem-
Der II, last The state endeavored
to show a motive in the killing of
the deceased caused by the circula-
ton Of a certain petition said to
have been signed by the deceased
and another party in this city, al
leging that Braziel had, while acting
as chief Of police of this city, ac-
cepted brbes from bootleggers and
gamblers for immunity. This docu-
ment was admitted into the record,
and was likewise read by the county
attorney to the jury in his opening
remarks Friday night.
In all about forty witnesses were
summoned and used by both the
state and the defense. The case has
been the hardest fought of any that
has been in the district court since
statehood The state was represent
ed in the prosecution by County Al
torney Hardy, Assistant Attorney
Bowman, and Moman Pruitt perhaps
the best known criminal lawyer in
the southwest, who resides in Ok
lahoma City. The defense was rep
resented by Attorneys Thos. Norman
J. II. Mathers, and r. n. Robnett,
formidable array of legal talent
The Judge instructed the jury Fri.
day afternoon as to their duties in
the matter, and the arguments were
begun. Attorney Bowman opened for
the state and was followed by Mr..
Robnett for the defense. On account
of illness, Attorney Thomas Norman
could not participate in the argu-
ment. At the night session, County
Attorney Hardy presented his argu-
ment for the state, and was followed
by James II. Mathers, former county
attorney, who spoke for the defense.
Each of these speeches consumed
over one hour in length.
In the concluding argument, At
torney Pruitt began speaking little
before midnight, but il was well past
the midnight hour when he concluded
what was perhaps the most eloquent
appeal ever addressed to a jury in
any courtroom in Oklahoma. Mr.
Pruitt's fame as a lawyer had pre-
ceded him, and the courtroom was
filled to its capacity by those who
desired to hear him speak. The
large crowd was very attentive
throughout, and were rewarded for
their patience. At the conclusion OF
his remarks, court adjourned until
nine o'clock Saturday morning, when
the court gave the case into the
hands Of the jury.
The jury retired, after brief in
structions from the court, and in a
few moments returned q verdict OF
not guilty as charged. Thus ends
one of the hardest fought cases in
the history of the district court OF
this county.
