During his citizenship here H.
Thompson has filled with credit
and commendation many posi-.

might mention that he was at

NEGRO IS VICTIM
OF BOLD GUN MAN
Barney ClcayCr Spends Five Minutes
on Case and Gets
Man.

When John Banton. a negro car
penter with Tulsa citizenship
limited to five days, strolled from
without the glare of the lights of
Little Africa, he little expected to be-
come initiated into Tulsa's growing
fraternity Of Ive-Been- Robbed.
But that's what happened and all
the fireworks that goes with a honest
to goodness stickup were tossed into
the initiation ceremonies for good
luck or bad. according to which end
# the owl head you view the affair
from.
The police officers who dressed
Banton's wounds said that at an even
break the assaulted would have given
his assaliant more than his share.
When the smoke from the battle,
two shots fired by the would-be rob
Der, had cleared away Banton was
behind telephone post calling for
help and half hundred negroes were
trying to catch the robber.
Barney Cleaver later arrested a
negro answering the description Of
the man who fired the shots. and
from the prisoner took a revolver.
The negro carpenter was not seriously
injured by the bullets. one which
grazed the left hand and the other
striking the right thigh.
