Careless Burglars Firelight Escape From Ratcliff Store
Two burglars burgled the Ratcliff Mercantile company store using matches for light in the clothing room. Mayor Sheehan and Dr. Day pursued them after the back door opened, but both escaped through a plate glass window. The chase ended in the railroad yards with the culprits separating and vanishing in darkness. Suspicions point toward a local duo known for prior burglaries.

Vinita Band Spurs City Rally Amid Creek Nation Debate
The Vinita brass band attracted Democratic support and boosted rally morale in Muskogee as city franchise ownership and bonding debates heated the campaign. Republicans attempted to block music by bid but Democrats outbid them, energizing turnout at courthouse and street corner meetings. The band returned weary but proud, with Turner and Chandler figures prominent in the scene.
