The First Eight Months of Oklahoma City.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 1.

The election passed off quietly although considerable excitement was manifested. The troops remained in camp all day in readiness to march at a moments notice to quell any disturbance, but there was none reported. Hundreds of people did not vote from the simple fact that they did not care to leave their work. The election resulted as follows: W. L. Couch, mayor; John A. Blackburn, recorder; M. C. Quinton, treasurer; O. H. Violet, police judge; Chas. Chamberlain, city engineer; Sidney Clarke, E. G. Hudson, John Wallace, C. T. Scott, W. C. Wells and J. E. Jones, councilmen.
