The administration had to make Dem
ocrat postmaster at Tohee. They couldn't
find Republican who would have it.
Bee Guthrey has applied for protection
from the Saltwater authorities. He thinks
the Dalton boys have designs on the Hawk
Office
The initial steps have been taken by the
Choctaw railway toward the construction
of telegraph line between FL Reno and
Oklahoma City.
An Arapahoe Indian came into FL Reno
last week with nothing but a shirt and
vest on. And there was considerable OF
breeze blowing, too.
Ell Reno Eagle: Trunks. grips" and
paraSols are among the first articles pur-
chased by the Indians after they. receive
their money. They go Tor them like a bull
pup for hot tomallies.
Territorial medical examinations have
been called at Guthrie on Friday, July 81:
and at e. Reno, Monday, August 3. The
board will also pass upon diplomas at that
time.
Lexington Leader: Last week there was
man in town that had it in for Kansas
people, and in order to impress the fact
more strongly on the minds of the public
ne went around town proclaimlng that
ANY one that came from Kansas was a
thief" 1t did not take him long to find
Kansas man who objected to being called
such pet names as that. and the man who
had it in for Kansas people paid hack 8
TO take him out of reach OF the Kansas
mans wrath.
Oklahoma City Journal: j. H. Wheeler
is in receipt of letter from Mr.. Thomp-
son, Of the waterworkS in which he says
that he has at last got matters in shape TO
begin active operations, and that he Will
be here tomorrow or the day following to
personally superintend the work. He
says he has had tremendous job to get
company together to take hold OF the
franchise but he has at last succeeded.
The tower will cost enormously, the lowest
bid for its construction being SOS, 600.
Work will be pushed on the tower and the
next step will be to locate the pumping
station.
FL Reno Eagle: The c. and A. allotting
agents are in the field but have not &C
complished anything as yet in the way of
making allotments. They will endeavor
to 90 to work after the next $4,000 has
been paid the Indians, after which time it
is thought the agents will not meet with
much opposition from the red men. Five
agents have been appointed to make these
allotments, but it is thought the number
will be increased and probably doubled, as
Unere Is large amount Oh work 10 90 ana
but little time left in which to do it. The
proposes to have the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe lands allotted in severalty
much sooner than some of the agents
think for, and unless there is a change
made in the program at Washington the
reservation will be opened for settlement
this fall without fail.
Yukon Courier: The second fifty thous-
and dollars of Cheyenne and Arapahoe
money has been paid out, and we suppose
by this time has all been spent By this
time every Indian and every pappoose has
a baby carriage, trunk, valise and any
number of silk fans and parasols. A
wagon load of dirty. greasy young ones
would have each fine silk parasoi The
stock of umbrellas, fans and valises soon
disappeared from the stores at Ell Reno.
One hot day last week we saw big, dirty
Indian standing in the center of the road
in his bare head tanning himself with
silk embroidered fan. Around his body
he had wrapped an old sheet and under
his arm he had large umbrella. An In
dian boy purchased three hats at one time.
Anything that suited their fancy they
would buy. The payments will not help
the Indians particle, for they will not
keen it.
