ROUNDUP AT ERIN SPRINGS,

Our neighbors, the Chickasaws,
will hold their annual stock meet
ing at Erin Springs on the 31st inst.
This is the spring roundup of the
Chickasaw Stock Association, and
will, in all probability, be an en-
thusiastic meeting, and as the citi-
zens Of Erin Spring are abundantly
blessed with the faculty Of kindness
and sociability, they will make
things pleasant for their guests.
The TRANSPORTER extends 70 the
members Of the association its many
thanks for sending us their call for
insertion, and also for an invitation
to attend their meeting, and it will
afford Us much pleasure to meet
with our friends, and we know of no
reason just now why we cannot be
present.

fONE OF THE "STANDBYS"

a word in every day use in this
Territory is "Johnson's Ranch -
which is known by every one far
and near The ranch consists of
quite settlement on the Main Cana
dian about twenty five miles south
east Of this agency, at the Texas
cattle trail crossing. Close to the
trail IS Johnson's store, conducted
under the management of p. A.
SMITH general headquarters for
the ChickasaW country. NJ r. John
son, the owner Of tie ranch, is an old
landmark, and was never out of the
limits of the Territory until his re-
cent trip to New York City, where
he spent four months visiting his
father c. Johnson and his son
Edward, nineteen years of age, now
attending college. G. Johnson, the
father, now sixty two years of age,
was Agent tor the Chickasaw and
ChoctaW Indians forty five years
ago, having come from the state of
Mississippi with the tribe, being
married to a half blood Chickasaw
woman. He was Agent for five
years, during which time Monfort
was born at 1uschimingo, the cap
itol of that nation. Mr. Johnson
located his present ranch on the
Canadian four Years ago and is sur
rounded in every direction with eyi-
dences Of his thrift and enterprise.
He has many of the conycnienccs of
civilization and ranks highly among
the ChickaSaW Stockmen. among
whom he takes a prominent place.
The ranch is convenient to nagniii-
cent ranges, upon which Mr.. John
son has his stock, consisting of
eight thousand cattle and four hun
dred horses, the latter being an I'M
usually large fine breed Of animals
in which Mr. Johnson takes much
pride. Muniort T. Johnson is now
thirty-nlne years Of age, and up to
the time cf his recent New York trip
was never out Of the Ind Territory.
He reportsa grand good time back
in civilization and during his visit
enjoyed a formal call on General
Hancock on Governors Island in
New York harbor. ond many other

GRAND DRESS PARADE.

Accepting an invitation from the
kind post people, several of our
Agency folks were permitted to wit
ness'a full dress parade at Ft. Reno
on Wednesday last, given in honor
f'Gen. Hatch, of Ft. Riley, who, in
company with Col. Henry, arrived
from Ft. Sill on Tuesday. The five
companies of the post, three of in
fantry and two of cavalry, were out
in full uniform, and are indeed q
well drilled force of men-each lieu
tenant havingcharge ofhis company
and drilling it in regular military
exercise. The parade as whole
was conducted by the alfable Capt.
Carroll, who did nobly in the rendi-
ton of his duties on this occasion.
The military band, although having
only short practice, furnished some
very appropriate martial music.
Just before the marching off of the
companies to their various quarters,
all were drawn in line and the read
ing of reports, ETC., by the adjutant,
Lieut.. Rogers, took place. & mes
sage from Gen. Pope, expressing his
gratitude and congratulatipg Capt.
Carroll for the manner and prompt
ness in which he fulfilled his orders
in dispoSing of the oklahoma crew,
was also read and listened to with
interest. While we know less of the
regulations Of the military than any
one, we would safely aver that the
officers who were connected with
thisparade are capable Of challeng-
ing any one body Of their fraternity
in the west, and that they would
carry away the medal, too. Our
Agency party, consisting of Misses
Starr, Maffet, Reed, Ellen Campbell,
Collins, Campbell, Eva Miles, Lille
Connell and Master Whit Miles,
were cordially invited to the bal
comics of DR.. and Mrs. LaGarde and
Lieutenant and Mrs. Huston from
which to view the parade, and were
entertained splcndidly. In the
evening a grand reception was ten
dered Gen. Hatch at the hospitable
quarters Of Captain and Mrs.
Bennett, and was pronounced the
most elegant affair to have ever oc-
Cured in the post Their quarters
were appropriately decorated in a
most picturesque manner, and the
Jealous Captain and lady We're high
ly lauded for their effort in
making the evening a pleasant one
to their guests.

On Sunday evening, the 18th inst,
Rev. Fl. Noth, of the Mennonite mis-

German, spoke hucntly and gram
matically, and his sermon as Il whole
was indeed an eloquent one, and his
effort was greeted with an attentive
and appreciativc audience. The adj
ditiOn OF some new members to the
choir. added much to the volume of
music, and the services all the way
through were exceeding interesting
as well as entertaining.
