' When you took your pen in hand to- j
day and dashed off the date in your j
I usual hurry, you did something you j
I never can do again in your lifetime. I
You wrote three identical numbers for;
: rite month, day and year—l 2-12-12, just,
; like that. I
•lust a year and a month and a day, l
ago there was a combination of six
i straight lines. 11-11-11, for the date.'
! But this is the last time you'll ever have ;
the Hire-' number? all alike. For there)
isn’t any “13” month.
The three-number combination will I
not occur again until 2010. The three- |
twelve combination can not be used;
again until 2012.
However, if you’re fond of thirteens, ’
I totrn i row will be Friday, the thir-j

DESPERATE MOB IN
COUNTY SEAT WAR
GROVE, OKLA., Dec. 12. —With aj
mob in control of affairs at Jay—known .
as Old Jay and declaring they will
light rather than permit the removal ,
of tiie county records to New Jay, held I
| by the courts to be the county seat of!
| Delaware county the situation there
■ today is critical. Sheriff Bud Thom-
ason, sworn in yesterday when Sheriff]
■ Hogan resigned, refused troops when lr
I asked them of Governor Cruce, lias i
I taken matters into his own hands. He !
lias an armed posse ready to advance]
on Old Jay some time during the morn- ;
ing, according to lhe latest reports from I
the two towns, and has asserted that I
lie will disperse the mob. As a preeau I
tionary' measure, women and children j
have been warned out of town, and]
many of them already have left.
Tlie condition of affairs Is so serious
that Judge Pitchford last night appeal
ed to Governor t’ruee to send troops
that had been asked.
The mob endeavoring to prevent
making New Jay the county seat Is
headed by Sam Boney, a Cherokee In
dian. He has about 150 men under Ins
I'ominund, mid they are all arftted, most
of them with rifles. The slierlil has u
posse <»f 200 men, nil well armed.

HOPE OF SAVING
Doomed Man Smokes
rettes Incessantly as Hour
of Execution Nears.
■« r t
His silence unbroken and his express}
slon of Imbecility unchanged, Robert L.l
Clay, sentenced to hang at noon tomor-I
row for the murder of his wife, Katlstu
Hughes Clay, was taken from his celt
on the second floor of the Tower thijc*
morning and lodged in a little box of a.)
room adjoining the death chamber.
Over the condemned man was placed, l
a death watch and within sound of his
ears jailers busied themselves during"
the morning with preparation for tht»l
execution. Clay exhibited no interest]
In the proceedings. He ate a heartj" *
breakfast at 7 o'clock and smoke<u
cigarettes incessantly, but to his jailers'
he showed no sign of weakening.
He sat silently In the cell
straight ahead wtth his Jaw dropped.:
and his eyes fixed—exactly as he has
sat for four months, wearing what;
three alienists have pronounced a mask
of insanity.
Doomed Man’s
I Attorney Gives Up Hope.
William M. Smith, the doomed man's
attorney, said today that he had given
up all hope of saving his client’s life. ,
The governor, he said, was the last re
soxt, and when the chief executive de
cided not to interfere with the sentence
of the court Clay’s fate was sealed.
Smith asserted that he hoped to have
Dr. James Baird and Dr. S. H. Green
make an examination of Clay today. H •
said that Dr. Green had agreed to go to
the jail and repeat his tests, but the at
torney declared that the doctors’ exam
inaion probably would bo unfavorable
to the prisoner. He admitted that there
was little or no chance to.prevent Clay’s
death
"There- is no chance to obtain a lu
nacy commission to examine Slay," said
Smith. “The law requires that a show
ing be made before the governor if such
a commission is to be named. I have
been unable to make such a showing.
Jailers Do Not
Believe Clay Is Insane.
“Not a single jailer or Jail attache or
any person acquaint’d with the man's
condition since he has been incar
cerated was willing to sign an affidavit
expressing the belief that he is insane.
I went to the governor without a case
because the doctors have maintained
persistently thftt Clay was sound of
mind and declared that he was sham
ming insanity.”
Attorney Smith 1s consistent In his
belief that the prisoner is of unsound
mind and has been so since the night
lie went to the little cottage in Lee
street and shot his wife to death.
i Clay’s indifferent demeanor this
| morning, when he was moved Into the
I death cell, last occupied by George
j Burge, a wife slayer, who paid for hfs.
crime on the gallows a year ago.
strengthens his lawyer’s belief that the
1 man Is insane.
Shows No Emotion
As Gallows Are Built.
When Clay was told that he occupied |
the cell last used to house George
Burge, he made no sign. If he heard
| tlie jail attaches in the gallows room
busy with preparations he gave no sign.
: Hxeept to light another cigarette and
: smoke it slowly, he did not stir during
| the morning.
Sheriff Mangum announced today . S
that tlie execution would be conducted fl
! in private in strict compliance with the
I law. No person, excepting the author- |
i iti'-s, will be permitted to witness a
1 Clay's death. The sheriff said that he
had received hundreds of requests from
morbidly curious persons to see the ex
| eeutlon, but no admission tickets would
; be issued.
