Mr.. Grayson Wells and Miss Katie
Ross we're married last even ing at the
Methodist church by Rev .McCrary. As
the event was public one, the house
was full as IL comfortably could be Of
spectators, chiefly friends or acquaint-
ances of either bride or groom. At the
close Of the ceremony congratulations
were overflowing in profuseness.
The "man with the cavalry uniform"
is fraud. He was playing deaf mute
here with epileptic accompaniment
and collecting money TO carry him
home to Fort Smith. BY the Coffey-
Vile Journal we see he was up there
Friday performing the same act This
information will doubtless be very con-
soling(2) to a number Of parties around
town.
G. W. Rogers, general manager
and James Dunn, chief engineer Of the
Frisco railway were out to the end Of
their road this week with a special
train. Captain Rogers stopped here a
few minutes on his way east and made
some inquiries in relation to clearing
the right-ofway stating at the same
time that he had asked for the chiefs
order recently issued.
| Milton Turner has been interviewed
at Fort Smith on the Cherokee freed
man question. al simply ask, (" said he,
necessary legislation by the national
government in behalf Of those repre-
sent, 20 make restitution of their pro-
rata Of that fund'-the 100000. He
did not expect second payment by
the government, but settlement of this
debt by the Cherokee nation.
A STANDARDIZATION Jackson, Neo-
sho insurance agent, has been arrested
for forgery. The great number of risks
written by this man were pointed out
by the officers of the company to show
what energy would accomplish. When
he insured a $4,000 house on section
30 (the numbers do not reach beyond
36) and claimed his commission out oi
the premium the officials concluded to
investigate. They found nearly all Of
his policies bogus.
DANGEROUS PLAcEs.-That large hole
beside the Friscos track which was dug
for well to supply the roundhouse has
at last been fenced. A number o
ponies from a herd got in there some
days ago and one of them was drowned
The old stock yard well is said to be in
a very dangerous condition and should
also be attended TO. 1t is not securely
covered and is likely to cave in with
even trining weight. Being one hun
dred and fifty feet in depth it would b,
next 20 impossible 10 rescue anyone
so unfortunate as to tall in.
HAYING TRoUBLE.-Dr. q. L. Garret
son, of Chelsea, has been putting up
hay at that point and is, in conse
quence, having some trouble. One
day last week Sheriff Cochran seized
fifteen tons Of this hay which had been
loaded onto car and tomorrow will
sell the same at auction. The doctor
who is not a citizen, was taken before
the United States agent and having nc
permits, either for himself or the mer
employed, was commanded to betakC
his person hence and in the future keeT
it without the limits Of this nation
CHELSEA CELKBRATIoN.- The barbe-
cue announced to be held tomorrow al
Chelsea, promises TO be ''grand, gor
geous and imposing" affair in al re
spects. Last week il was stated tha
the meeting would I've held in the in
terest of the National party but w
have since learned that such is not tho
case. All parties are TO be represented
in general and none In particular. Al
especial invitation is extended to al
candidates TO be present and declare
their positions on the living issuei
Of the times. 1--WE trust this will not
deter any Of our public men from beinl
in attendance.) The object is not 4
assist anyone into Office, but simply tC
have a good time. Mr.. Strange Al
chairman of the committee on arrange
ments is seconded in his efforts by
corps of assistants who will use thei
! best endeavors to make the occasion
p pleasant one for all. Quite q numbe
