Of the case Wednesday for the men,
and Ralph Crews, counsel for the

This is Christmas play, without

The audience will alternately laugh
and weep with Diane, the lovely

her by her dead father, And then her

Henry Clay Pickins, colored, driv-

ton truck belonging to the Coco Cola
Bottling Works in front of Varney
Brothers store this morning, causing
considerable damage to the automo-
bile. The truck was driven by Jack
Tackett, stellar catcher of the Ell
Centre baseball team, who stated fol-
lowing the accident that he was 60
ing east on Main street at slow
rate of speed.
Poor brakes on the machine are al
legged to have been the cause of the
accident.
The colored man told Police Officer
Jim Elliott that he was going less
than 20 miles per hour.
The damage is estimated at $3.50.

has worked increasingly the last
year obtaining and producing these
works of art. Although he gathered
and finished most Of the pictures
simply to satisfy his artistic inclina-

him to part with some of his collec-

Starting tomorrow for two days

than in any other picture that Tom

Those who pass the usual westerner
up with something approaching scorn
will want to see this. 1t is different,
and on account of the unusual char
acter of the whole picture it was Sc
lected and shown at the Capital thea

capacity this largest theater in the

MuSkogee, Feb. 5.-The revival
services being carried on by BLACK
Billy Sunday" at the Antioch Baptist
Church on North Fourth street, are
attracting large and cnthuiaStic au-
diences every night. The manner in
which this Negro evangelist attacks
Satan and sin is in large degree
similar to that of the original white
Billy Sunday. These eXhortations
for the wicked to leave crooked
paths and to take up the journey
along the narrow and straight path
are making deep impression and
mary converts have crowned the
speakers efforts. Muskogee's lit
tie giant" the Rev. S. S. Jones. is be.
ing congratulated for inauguraiine
much needed revival under suCl
an able and competent leader.
During the past week, real estate
