"A large sized "bsOm" is just about
to strike vinita, but the people are
prepared forit A large brick build
ing Eill be built soon and other small
er houses That is as il should be.
The only cause for surprise il that .
boom has not been raging here all the
time. for there is no better location in
the B. I. T, than Vinits.
Another wreck happened on the
n, K & I. road early sunday morn
ing delaying the trains about seven
hours. The wreck WAS below Eufaula
and is supposed to have been caused
By the rails spreading. Several cars
were badly smashed and killed q negro
tramp who was beating hin way and
was in q car containing car wheels.
His body vas cut all to pieces.
United States Indian Agent Ben
nett will meet the Shawnee council in
Vinita Monday or Wednesday to set
tie the question Of heirship to the es-
tate Of Capt. Flint. . deceased Shaw
nee Indian The trouble arises from
the fact that one Of the heirs 20 the
estate Is q Delaware, whereas the old
Shawnee law holds that none but
shswnees can inherit properly from
deceased members Of that tribe.
"A rather pitifnl case presented it.
self this week A young woman,
probably twenty years OF age, came in
from ST. Louis Tuesday with a babe
in her arms, looking for q man named
COchrzn, who she said was q sewing
machine agent. He sent her ten
dollars TO come to this place ''in
order that she might be near him."
and then failed to meet her. She was
out Of money and yesterday went
about town soliciting means to get
back TO st. Louis Cochran is under
stood to be at Peirce City.
William Spencer, ex-chief Of the
Seneca nation, went TO Seneca, No., n
little over q week ago with q wagon
load Of wheat. Having sold his wheat
he left for home about o'clock D. m.
The next morning at O'Clock he was
found about fifteen miles from Seneca
lying in the road in an unconscious
condition with two inches of his skull
crushed in, as il with Q sharp stone.
As his team was found not far sway,
and as be had q little money in his
pocket, il is supposed the team ran
away, throwing him out. But little
hope Of his recovery Is entertained.
1t is to be feared that the festive
ground hog. who. by the way, has
greater reputation in the weather
business than Irl r. Hicks himself, Is
getting the fruit trees into trouble.
That gentleman, the ground hog, came
out at the appointed time. and not
seeing his shadow sat himself down
and gieefully sang his ode to spring.
Thereupon, DIR. Thompson says some
of his fruit trees. With more faith than
wisdom, began to pnt forth their ten
der buds and fragrant blossoms. and it
is to be feared that there are other
trees as con6ding as the doctors. Il
viii not do 70 put 100 much faith in
weather prophets.
