should mention a certain Brother
Hoyle, he of rule-making fame for
card games, as being the last-word in
authority on matters relating to PIN
ochle. it's almost foregone conclu-
sion that aforesaid Independent PIN
ochlers would give the daring one the
cold and stony stare.
All of which is the natural conse-
quence OF last nights victory chalked
up by aforesaid firemen-devotees of
the game of "bid-and-meld" over the
opposing quartettes representing the
local Elks Club. While the margin of
victory was not sufficient to make a
rooster lose his lusty voice, the final
team-count standing 81 to 20 with the
Independents on the long end of the

BANDIT, BURIED ONCE,

Underworld Pals Character
ize Holloway as Square
Shooter"

Tulsa. Okla. Feb. 1O.-Deep beneath
armfuls Of blossoms in the most select
section of Rose Hin Cemetery, Frank
Holloway, notorious over the South and
West as a bandit and gun fighter, was
buried.
The burial was in dramatic contrast
to the one in the dismal thicket, two
miles west of Red Fork, where his body
was found late Wednesday, crowded
into rough hewn hole after he had
been brutally murdered by unknown
hands.
More than 800 friends, most of them
Old-time settlers and many identified
with the night life of the magic city
n decade ago when gambling halls ran
wide open and men walked the streets
with pistols on their hips, crowded the
chapel as the last words were said over
HolIoway's coffin.
In that crowd were men and women
who once walked the underworld trails
hand in hand with Holloway and his
kind. Some Of these have since climbed
upward to responsibility and even af-
fluence. Others, with the stamp of dis
sipatiOn deep upon their faces, showed
they had held to the down grade.
Mrs. Edith Long Holloway, the Wild
ow, had the silent sympathy of those
who attended the funeral. She fire.
quently Sburst into tears during the fun
eral service.
BY the code OF his world. Frank Hol-
loway was a square shooter"
That was the estimate more than one
hard-faced man placed upon him as he
turned away from the grave.
