-Vinita was as quiet and orderly
last week as the most puritanical

disturbance.
DIR. L. 0. Ellis, dentist, of South
west City, Mo-, will be in Chelsea from
October l4th TO 18th; Claremore from
Goth to 25th; Tulsa 9th to 3lst.
The holding of the Frisco train un-
til 4;30 last Saturday evening, thus
enabling all of the western visitors to
see the end of the fair, was very
obliging.
The erection of one hundred feet
front of buildings on the corner near
the railroad is going to help the APP
pearance of that part of the town
amazingly.
-Ex- hief Bushyhead spent several
more days here last week than he al
ticipated, for the purpose OF being
treated for the catarrh, with which he
is troubled of late.
The differences between the town
and the railroad company, over the
crossing, have been settled by the
town agreeing to put in sluice boxes
to carry the water off.
A storm which petrifes corn fields
and the hogs which have broken into
them, such as is reported from Ten
nessee, is the kind we don't have here
-whiskey is too scarce.
r. D. Knight had a quantity of
moulding on exhibition at the fair
which took the eye of all interested in
such things. 1t was made of native
lumber and was the product OF his
new planning mill.
MIR. and Mrs. Frank Bilingslea |
will receive the coincidence of their
friends on the death of their little boy, |
one year old, which oceyrre1 Tuesday.
The funeral took place at the res
idence of L.W Burlington last evening.
"A note from friend at CoAeyville |
st ates: "This town is on boom and |
has better trade than any place on
the border. The gas well is blazing |
ten feet high. Chas. Harris. James
Beatty and Solicitor Elliott are in town
and ale making the boys feel good"
John Payne roped an engine at
Bluejacket the other day but his horse
failed to hold the "critter." A wit
was issued, however, that will proba-
bly, hold John. Had it not been for
Blake Gore coming to the rescue it is
likely the outfit would have been a
horse short.
On of the principal reasons why
our fairs are so popular is because
there is no extortion practiced by ho-.
tel keepers or people in any of the
other lines of business. Board is the
same price fair week that it is any
other day in the year, and so it is with
everything else.
The Daltons, Enmet and Bob, are
in the vicinity of Tulsa, OF went there
after their Baxter Springs escapade,
crossing the NJ, X. & t. road about
six miles above this place. Through
sympathy and fear together they are
harbored at a great many places in
the locality named and to surpr ise
them will be a difficult task.
