But instead of reasoning earnestly wi
their pastor, the members OF the flock W
disagreed with him preferred what mig
be called direct action"-on his way hor
from church services the Rev. Mr.. Irw
was kidnapped, carried off into the WOO
and thoroughly we'll blackjacked. TIL
the members OF his flock expressed thu
disapproval in terms which there was
room for misunderstanding.
When Mrs Harry Sheriff. recently {
cided that her husband was spending mo
time and attention on pretty Ham
Novak than was warranted, she put
hat on her head and a pistol in her pock
and went out to straighten the matter o,
Mrs. Sheriff. came across an automob
standing in front of a shop. and on the co
Portable back seat sat Miss Novak. VIII
better occasion would there be to EXPIRE
her disapproval?
Mrs. Sheriff. stepped on the runni
board, pointed her pistol in Miss Noval
face and shot her to death. Thus s.
ended the family trouble by removing Z
cause, and 1t was so much quicker al
more certain than to be bothered with I
long tiresome delays of the courts.
And thus, with similar direct method
although not with a pistol, Mrs. Geor
Thomas Strengthened out her own diff
Guilty by inducing pretty Mrs. Billy Dali
TO have an automobile ride with h
into the woods to pick wild flowers.
Mrs Daley. Mrs. Thomas felt was
entirely too friendly with Mr..
Thomas.
When the automobile stopped and
the ladies got out to pick wild flow
ers. Mrs. Daley was astonished to
find that she was about to get the
most almighty horsewhipping Of
her life.
Judges sitting in courts use dis
cretion as to what shall be the pen
atty inflicted in various cases. And
so the ladies of Oklahoma use their
discretion as to what shall be the
penalty for those who intrude upon
the peace Of their fresdes. Thus
Mrs. Sheriff. felt that pistol bullet
was the proper sentence for Miss
Novak-and Miss Novak got the
pistol bullet just where Mrs Sher-
rill thought It was deserved. But
Mrs. Thomas judged that a first
class horse-whipping would be about
right for Mrs. Billy Dailey-and a
humping good horse whipping is
Just what Mrs. Daley received.
And so the other night when Judge
Day came home in the early hours
OF the morning and says he looked
in the window and saw Lieutenant.
Colonel Beck doing something which
ought to have immediate attention
and punishment, the judge proceeded
direct to the drawer where he keeps
his pistol and in another moment
put a shot through the army officers
head, which relieved the court Of
bothering to waste its time in lis
tening to lot Of tiresome witnesses
and then agreeing on verdict.

Republican Democratic Parties

Returns were late in coming in,
many of them not until past mid
night. AS the voting law now stands
it is detriment to small towns and
waste of time to all.
AS it proved in this county, practi-
cally every vote was polled by five
o'clock, the usual time, and election
officers had to stay around with moth
ing to do for three more mortal
hours. The new law is all right for
cities, but all wrong for country
towns.
No returns were received until af-
ter $3.50 p. m. and then county and
scattering state began to come, Not
until after 1870 were the county
returns all in. Thanks to the Citi-
zens' Telephone Company service,
only were we able to give as COM
