TELEPHONE COMPANY MAY
:. SOON AMEND BYLAWS

Amendments to its charter and by
laws providing for a change in date
of the annual meeting from September
to February will be acted on at a spe-
cial meeting of the stockholders of the
Mutual Telephone Company to be
held June / at the company's offices.
Heretofore the September meeting
has been adjourned subject to the call
of the chair and then always called
in February, as the company's books
are closed at the end of the calendar
year. This has caused considerable
inconvenience to some of the stock
holders and the amendments, which
will have to be submitted to the gov
ernor and treasurer for approval, are
designed to do away with this.
Some minor changes in the bylaws
affecting the resistance of lost stock
certificates will also be made.

CREDIT TO STECE
FOR BLUM RETURN
Bertillon Expert Found
Tulsa County Jail
Breaker.

Harry Siege. Bertllon expert of
the Tulsa police department, is given
credit for the bringing back Of Grover
Blum from Hutchinson, Kan, to the
Tulsa county Jail from where he es-
capped about year ago with Harry
Wells and "Blackie" Duval after
holding up the jailer and locking him
in cell. They then ran down a
stairway.
BY means of his vast index of de-
scriptions and mugs" Siege located
Blum at the reformatory at Hutchin-
son. He apprised Sheriff Woolley or
the fact and when his term expired a
few days ago that official had com
pleted arrangements to bring him
back here from where he will be
taken to the state penitentiary to
serve a five-year term for burglary of
which he had been convicted at the
time of his escape.
Wells engineered the delivery AT
the time Blum escaped by stealing
the jailor's revolver. A short time aft
erwards Wells was recaptured and
brought back here to finish his term
but later was arrested at Muskogee
for highway robbery He Is now
serving a term of three years in the
state penitentiary. Duval was never
caught.
Sheriff Woolley Is expected to re-
turn today bringing Blum with him
He will probably be taken to Nc
Alester at once to begin serving his
five year term.

generate warm air to dry the cars.
With windows and doors closed
they continued their work for about
an hour when they were stunned by

seem to point to sewer gas as the
trouble maker, although there is a
possibility of the flame in the gas
