Members of the lower house of the
Oklahoma legislature will not resort

This announcement was made to
night by W. b. McBee, representative
from Stephens county and leader ol
the impeachment movement against
tlie governor. Representative McBee
said tlie legislature would use the
courts should Governor Walton act to
prevent the assemble on
The statement of
McBee was in reply to a
made by the chief executive this aft
ernoon that the house members “from
their open defiance of lawful author
ity evidently intend to ride through
blood up to the bridle of their steeds
and any who oppposes them will be
wading through a slaughter-house to
an open grave.”
A threat to close the Old Oklaho
