Life Story of Al Jennings Brightens Oklahoma Nomination
Oklahoma City Aug 15. Al Jennings once a train robber and outlaw told his life story to supporters as he sought the Democratic nomination for prosecutor in Oklahoma County. He described early trials, a deadly feud, revolts with lawmen, and a life sentence later commuted by Senator Marcus Hanna. Jennings said his turn to law followed family tragedy and outlaw years, and that his wife’s influence helped him reform.

Lawton Oklahoma August 15 Approximately three million dollars in gross revenue tax would be added to the state treasury if the Oklahoma Supreme Court sustains District Judge J T Johnson ruling. The decision found Comanche Light and Power Company liable for three years of unpaid gross revenue earnings despite Supreme Court abrogation of such assessments for corporations. Attorney General R E Gish says the case tests public service tax as a statewide precedent potentially involving about three million dollars.
