c. w. THURMAN IS HELD
 PRISONER IN COUNTY JAIL
A Married Daughter Charges Serious Crime, Another Denies-Sad
 Condition Revealed,

c. w. Thurman, held a prisoner at the county jail, is either one of the unluckiest men in the world, or else a Ifiend in human form. Thurman, whose home is in the wilds west of Hatton, close to the Oklahoma line, is held in default of $500 bond to answer a charge of incest. If he doesn't give bond soon, fine crop of home grown tobacco on his hillside farm is going to spoil.
 Thurman was bound over to await action by the October grand jury, fol- lowing an examining trial Wednesday afternoon before Justice s. H. Smith. There is no direct evidence that Thur man is guilty of the unnatural crime with which he is charged, and the sur- prising feature of what evidence there is against him is that it comes from his own daughter, Mrs. Lillie Demo- vich, who apparently is determined to act as a parental nemesis.
 Mrs. Denovich not only expresses a belief that her father has wronged her younger sister, Myrtle Thurman, but she declares her father attempted similar crimes against two other sis ters.
 Thurman emphatically denies the charges made against him, and his youngest daughter, Myrtle, the IT, year-old miss, who is charged with having killed her new born babe, also denies that her father has mistreated her. Father and daughter sat face to face in the courthouse Wednesday af- ternoon and there was no evidence of fear or guilt in the countenance of the father when he asked the direct uues- ton of his daughter. And there was no hesitation on the part of the daugh- ter in denying the accusation.
 Both father and daughter blame Mrs. Denovich for the charges made against them and say that she is ac- tuated by desire for revenge.
 Charley Thurman, 13-year-old son of the man in jail, is also a witness against his father and sister. He claims to have seen the new born baby's body lying on brush heap af- ter the little one had died. The body disappeared and has never been locat- ed While his father and sister are in the hands of the authorities, Char ley will make his home with Mrs. Den ovich, and will be looked after by the officials of the juvenile court.
 The girl, Myrtle Thurman, is held to answer a charge of murdering her baby. and for the present is being kept by Mrs. M. E. Robinson, there being no suitable place for her at the coun- ty jail.
 Regardless of whether Thurman and his daughter are cleared of the terri ble charges against them, the case has served to call attention to horri- ble condition of affairs in Polk county and one that calls for the help of charitable and philanthropic persons The examination in the justice court revealed that neither Myrtle or Char les Thurman had much of chance to get an education and from their de- scription of the life led on a hillside farm. it must have bare and mono tonous existence at best.

BOARD CAMPERS CHAMPIONS
 OF POLK COUNTY TO DATE
Defeat Union Grove in Decisive Fash ion on Menafield-Nunley Beat
 Shady Grove.


 Board Camps baseball team is en- titled to claim the championship title for Polk county to date, having de- feated Union Grove in a decisive bat tie at Menafield Saturday by score of to 6. It was hard fought bat tie turnout, and was not decided until the last out was made.
 Union Grove lost the game in the third inning, when it seemed that ev- eryone tried to play as poorly as pos sible. A combination of hits, errors and blunders let Board Camp score five times and clinch the victory.
 Big Bill Anderson did the receiving for Swiger and made the Board Camp boys hug the bases. Dalt Heath and Sims were the battery mates for Board Camp.
 Both pitchers were hit hard, but errors are responsible for most of the runs made. The score by innings shows
 Board Camp 70 I 5 O10 0 0 Is Union Grove 70 0 0 3 0 0 0-e
 In the last half of the ninth, with two on and two gone, Big Bill Ander- son lifted a long one to left field that looked like it would fall safe and tie the score, but Parker camped under it and saved the day for Board Camp This is the third time the teams have met this season and the second victory for Board Camp. Peeler and Tits worth were the umpires.
 Preceding this game Nunley and Shady Grove put on snappy contest the first-named winning 15 to 13 Shady Grove staged a ninth inning rally, but could not make enough to tie up the game.
