WewoIta for Week.


Wewoka, Okla. June 16-Posses have
been seeking Henry Conley for the
past week. The territory for many
miles in every direction has been comb

way through the mountains and con-
tinued the search as far as the Canadian
river.
1t is felt certain here that Conley is
the guilty negro. He has been missing
since the crime was committed. and all
other Wewoka negroes have accounted
for their whereabouts at the time the
crime was committed.
The posse and the prisoner are ex-

ANCIENT THRONE
SPAIN TOTTERS
IN REVOLUTIONARY
PROPAGANDA.
PEOPLE ARE PRO-ALLY
King and Aristocratic Element In Gen
eral Are German Partisans-GrOwing
Unrest May Soon Break Into Revolt
Food Shortage Serious.

London, June 16-The upheaval
caused by the great war which has al
ready hurled two monarchs from their
thrones now menaces the ancient
throne of Spain.
The utmost exertions Of the Spanish
censors have failed to completely sup
press the reports of grave happenings
in the peninsular kingdom.
From what little is known, the Span.
ish army is taking the lead in the revo-
lutionary movement which is further
accelerated by the food scarcity, and
industrial unrest.
Talks to Muzzle People.
Rumors of revolt have been current
for several months and at the end Of
May it was announced the constitutions
al guarantees would De suspended
while the government prohibited all pub
lie manifestations in regard TO interns.
tional questions.
This was followed by an outbreak at
Barcelona on June 1, the seriousness
of which was indicated by the fact that
the soldiers sided with the revolters
and imprisoned a number Of their Of.
ficers.
The exact part which the issues Of
the war play in the Spanish crisis is
difficult to determine. The N M

ed with being strongly proally in sentr-
ment while the aristocracy leaned to.
ward the side OF Germany.
At the same time, the demand for
internal reform and other domestic
questions have apparently had a lead
ing role in the growing unrest.
Poor Pay In Army.
The Daily News has received reports
OF industrial unrest in Spain. II says
the rank and file of the army contains
as many dissatisfied ones as the popu-
lace. and probably is the chief link be-
tween them in the matter Of grievances.
Bad conditions and poor pay in the
army have bred angry feelings and
there has been seething disquiet.
Labor troubles, actual or threatened,
in many other districts Of the kingdom
are partly explainabe by the widespread
poverty due to the high food prices
All OF the reports contain illusions
to German influences working for
their own ends.
The Spanish embassy In London dis.
claims knowledge Of anything unusual,
but II is stated that neither commercial
firms nor newspapers are able to &c.
replies TO telegraph queries.
