last Thursday, Jan. 3, at lockwood.
Mo, to Miss Josie Newton, daughter
Of DR.. d. P. Newton. The groom is
known 10 nearly everybody in the na-
ton, while at Tulsa, where she has re-

the lady has a great many acqusint-
Snces- The bridal pair reached this
city Sunday and next day went to the
ranch, near Tulsa. where they will
make their home, and where THs
'CHIEFTAIS's best wishes will follow
them.
During the holidays a renter living
nj the WOodall settlement brought
eleven gallons Of sorghum molasses 10
town and sold il TO Lee Crufchfeld. at
D. Hill & Co.'S. and il was measured
into nearly 4 full barrel Of the same
commodity. The same morning a
neighboI's : boy went to several of the
stores and toll that this same man was
coming to town to sell a Quantity OF
syrup which the family could not eat
because they had found a dead cat in
the barrel. The warming came too
late, though for the eleven gallons had
been added 20 q barrel which already
contained forty. What 10 do. was the
question and it was quickly solved.
The barrel was set aside and next time
the man who sOldit came to town he
was compelled TO buy the whole Of il
at a good profit.
The men arrested at Chetopa on
suspicion Of being implicated in the
Pryor Greek train robbery have been
bound over before Commissioner
Neale in the sum of 5000 each There
is scarcely a possibility, even, that
they were IN the robbery aud il is.stated
that had no evidence been introduced
in their behalf a discharge was certain.
They went upon the stand however,
and more conflicting evidence, says
the ChetOpa Democrat, was never
aduced in any court.
