enough, nor continued sufficient
length oftime to bring great injury up
on stock, but in it's way this has been
very remarkable sleet storm. East
OF Grand river there was not great
amount OF ice, but to the west the
storm was similar to that which
visited this section.

AIR. J. Nj. Crutchfeld was married
last Thursday, Jan. 2, at Lockwood,
Mo-, to Miss Josie Newton, daughter
of DR.. IL. p. Newton. The groom is
known 10 nearly everybody in the ma
ton, while at Tulsa, where she has re.
sided several years, and until recently.
the lady has great many acquaint-
ances. The bridal pair reached this
city Sunday and next day went to the
ranch, near Tulsa, where they Will
make their home, and whore THn
,CnIEFTAIN's best wishes will follow
them.
During the holidays a renter living
la the .Woo!all settlement broug ght
eleven gallons OF sorghum moasses TO
town and sold it to Lee Crutchfield, at
ID. Hill & Co.'S. and II was measured
into nearly full barrel OF the same
commodity. The same morning a
neighbof's boy went to several Of the
stores and told that this same man was
coming 10 town TO sell a Quantity OF
syrup which the family could not eat
because they had found a dead cat In
the barrel. The warning came too
late, though for the eleven gallons had
been added to 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 who,c OF it
at 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 $1,000 each. There
is scarcely a possibility, even, that
they were in the robbery and it is.stated
that had no evidence been introduced
In their behalf discharge was certain.
They went upon the stand however,
and more conflicting evidence, says
the Chetopa Democrat, was never
aduced in any court.
-Butler Bros, at Chouteau, may
very properly be alluded to as snc-
cessful firm, Their trade has steadily /
increased since the first day the store
was opened, until their sales probably |
reach those of any establishment in /
the Cherokee nation. Nearly every
article and commodity is kept in stock
and in variety at that. If you want
q spool of thread or sack OF flour
they can supply IL and can also sell
you wagon to haul it home; or, IL
you have no home (housel they can
supply the lumber, nails Gnd every
thing with which to erect one. Give
Butler Bros. your trade and you will
profit thereby.
The COW thieves up north of town
are not having everything their own
way as much as they did. Bob Bar
Ser and Jim Rogers were arrested at
Baxter Springs one day last week in
possession of fifteen head Of stolen
'attle which they we're endeavoring to
ell to a butcher. After paying $40 he
ockei the cattle up In a corral and
tated that he would make inquiry as !
o ownership of the property. Upon
his the boys became abusive whereat
he butcher had them arrested and
oon learned that the stock had been {
tolen. Eight head belonged TO Mr.. I
'aSks, on the Dobkins place. and sew
raj te Fritz Ellis, OF the same neigh
orhood. Deputy Marshal Chas.
tickle took charge Of the prisoners }
nd after arresting Lawrence Barker,
mother member Of the gang. at bis
Iome, conveyed them TO Fort Smith.
