MAYOR DENIES CHARGE THAT
HORSE WAS MALTREATEO

In emphatic denial of the charge
made in an issue of Independent
couple of weeks ago by party sign
ing his name "a Friend of Dumb Ami
mails" to the effect that two men had
brutally treated a horse which was
driven to death, knocking out its eye,
etc, Mayor Watson H. Stewart says
that there is practically no truth in
the statement and that it was manu-
factured as lot of bunk.
Mr.. Stewart says that the incident
occurred near the city hall and he
as an eye witness, and that the facts
are about as follows:
The horse was ill and when its con-
dition was discovered a veterinarian
was called who said that he could de
nothing for it. The horse was loaded
into wagon to be taken to the home
of the men who had driven it. and as
the humane officer was not in town,
at the request of the owners it was
shot as an act of mercy by the sheriff.
We wish to herewith give notice,
and we have made this statement verb
ally time and again, that hereafter no
articles will be accepted for publica-
tion in this paper unless signed by the
real name Of the originator. Such cog
nomens as "a Friend of Dumb AMI
mails" or IAN Enemy of the Editor
won't go, and if any person mails an
article signed in that way it's a cinch
it will land in the waste basket.

They profess devoted friendship

And with mirth have power all sad

And they advocate both church and

And are all good friends, and great

With the noble pride of an Arab

And in department, they hold the

Of the style chord in every eventful
chime;
While all the others follow with
wistful toddle.

Whose daily bearings are upright

For they are soon to have big pay

And be lauded to the skies by

THE OXFORD EAGLE
Not common with the other people
of the town;
Their ambition is the following OF
high tide;
And they are as amusing as cir
Gus clown.
The Faust family are the funniest on
ROLL
They are always jolly and have
fine old time
They enjoy picnic pleasures with body
and soul;
And they strive mighty hard to
look handsome and fine.
Then comes Parson Brown, and others
bearing the name
Most of whom being too shy to
live right in town;
And choose their homes at the end OF
a suburb lane,
To teach country neighbors the
ways of town clown.
Then comes a high class tribe by the
,,op,o Of R,1f1or
The real peers of the burg's
schemers and planners
They have but one synonym and that
means hustler;
They shoulud be awarded some
evergreen banners.
Parson Sparks, whose dwelling
house is the village bank,
Walks the streets with all the pride
of Kaiser Bill;
And fights ideas of an underground
oil tank;
He prays, 'Lord make me the only |
shark on the hill"
AS to the Mitchells they are Of
course, mighty smart;
They live in the Westside mansion
of the city
And the crowned-head of the tribe
has a great big heart,
And the fact it's unknown, is a
mighty pity.
Then there are the Mauney S Of hotel
number two
Mr.. Mauney treats alike both
friend and stranger;
And is plain to tell one and all, just
what he'll do;
For he is an expert information
ranger.
There is family here by the name
of Wood;
They are quiet and unassuming in
their ways;
And that they are he>orable, seems
understood,
Which is good; for pure motive
always pays.
The Clifton family that runs the
village farm,
Spend time most quietly on their
reservation;
For their greatest ambition is to fill
their barn,
Attend church, and avoid eternal
damnatior.
The Johnsons are clinging to the
slickest round of up,
And are moving with unusual
speed in the art
They, no doubt, may some day drink
from a silver cup;
For they press onward with for
wards most flashing dart.
Then by the way, there is mail carrier
Whitehead;
Noblest guy in or out Of the corpo-
ration
He is our standard bearer of blue
white and red;
And real mogul in scripture
speculation.
Professor Samuels, President Of the

Graces with decorating personall-
