The following story, told in a dis.
patch to the New York Herald from
Arkansas City, Kan, may be taken
with just little grain Of salt: One OF
the most interesting incidents of the
opening of Oklahoma occurred upon
the return to Arkansas City of the
train carrying newspaper correspond
ents. Seven of the Chicago and other
Western correspondents had pooled
their issues and engaged a cowboy to
meet them on horseback Just after the
train entered the yards at Arkansas
City, and to gallop furiously to the
telegraph offices. James Cox, of the
st. Louis GIObe-Democrat, was shut
out of the combination. The plan
worked beautifully until the cowboy
had galloped half a block on his way
to the telegraph Office. Then Mr.. Cox
saw the scheme, and, Ieaping from the
moving train, he started on foot after
the horsemen. It was a run of more
than mile to the telegraph Office. By
a squirt Mr.. Cox overlook the horse.
and then a desperate race began. The
cowboy dashed his horse vigorously.
but he could not shake off the feet
footed correspondent. On the last
eighth of a mile Mr.. Cox spurted like
a Splinter, and by a terrific effort
reached the telegraph Office forty rods
ahead. When he entered the Office he
could hardly stand or see. The cow
boy has not since been seen.

ALuokv Texan.

HalIettsville Tex New Era May Is.
The people in this section have been spec
ulating in louisiana State Lottery tickets
for some time, and have received several
good premiums and on one or two occasions
large ones, but the town was struck dumb
when it was found that ticket No. 32.O74 draw
ing the first capital prize of $4,000 in the
April drawing, was held partially by party
in Haliettsvllle. 1t is often said that luck
falls to the unworthy, but interviewing Otto
Van Rosenberg, the happy pOssess0r Of one
twentieth part of the ticket, we find it has
fallen in the right place. He is an industri.
GUS young merchant, who has been here bu
a short time, his native home being Rounts
Top, Texas. The $4,000 received by him
VIII be partly used IN his business; it estab-
fishes him on a firm financial basis. 1t has
not turned his head, and he viii use his new
found wealth with sense and discretion for
his own advancement and the furthsrance
of his interest in the public welfare. He
has been investing IN one ticket each month
IN the Louisiana State Lottery for about two
years, and he thinks the amount expended
was well invested. The Louisiana State Lot
terry Company is a thoroughly reliable insUi-
tuition, as was evidenced in this case. Mr..
Rosenberg sent his ticket for collection to
Ball. HutchIns q Co., Of Galveston, and It
was paid upon presentation without any
discount.

THE wife of Admiral Febiger, who
was killed at Washington lately in a
runaway accident, had a pathetic life
history. When young and beautiful
girl she was married to Lieut.. Riley,
a handsome young officer of the United
States navy, and the wedding was a
very swell society affair. It occurred
in the evening, and was attended by
the most noted people in official, social,
army, and navy circles. The next
morning Lieut.. Riley left, under or.

cruise. His vessel was the President,
and after she left New York she was
never heard from again. Mrs. Riley

but he cannot induce his thick, gray
ish-brown hair to remain in the state of
smoothness to which he endeavors to
reduce it, and, rump1ed over his broad
forehead, it gives him singuIarly
youthful appearance. He is rather

dark, with heavy features and very
deep eyes beneath dropping lids, but
which light up wonderfully, as indeed
the whole face does when he is con-
versing."
