Fight in a Newspaper Office.


OKLAHOMA, o. T, Nov 2S-Last evening
about : o'clock G. B. Mcfarland came into
the Gazette Office III company with Mont
Williams, constable, and made an assault
on Otto G. Beckmeyer, city editor of the
Evening Gazette. Mr.. Beckmeyer was en-
tirely alone and was writing at his desk
when the assault was made. In
the scuffie which followed two reading
lamps were overturned and the fire was
quickly communicated TO the surrounding
Mr.. McMaster, editor of the Gazette. came
IN, and after jerking Mr. Beckmeyer away
from his murderous assailant
turned his attention to smothering
the flames which We're already burning
fiercly, in which he was hindered by the
now thoroughly enraged Mcfarland, who
picked up couple of chairs and threw
them at the editor and drove him away.
By this time the alarm of fire had been
raised, and By the united efforts of
the outsiders what promised to
be a destructive confagration was
happily avoided. In the meantime McF'ar-
land left the Gazette Office in company with
the constable and went for Justice Butler
where ne pleaded guilty to simple assault.
Subsequently warrant was sworn out by
MIR. McMasters against Mct arland for ar
son, and he was takeo before Judge Stewart
and placed under 5000 bond. which
he has not yet succeeded in furnishing.
Mcfarland is the proprietor of the Com
mcrcial hotel in this city, and the cause of
his assault was an article which appeared
in the Gazette last evening giving an ac-
count of his attempted assault on a dining
room girl

TAHLEQUAH. l. T., Nov. 2S-It is rumored
in Tahlequah to-day that trade between
the United States and Cherokee nation has
at last nearly been agreed upon for 4
transfer OF the Strip to the United
States, though nothing Officially has
been announced. The two commissions
have been III several joint sessions
this week, though the proceedings have
been kept from the public. However,
enough has leaked out to warrant the predic-
ton that the government will within few
more days have something over 5000, 900
acres of Indian land to throw open to white
settlement. The commission sat yesterday
and it is understood the United States COM
mission offered S., 80, 900, or about 81. 40 per
acre for the Strip, together with nearly all
the concessions asked for by the Cherokees.
An ad journment was then taken until Mon
day, when the big deal will be concluded
without further trouble. The Cherokees
are happy over the tattering prospect of an
early settlement of this troublesome matter
and of receiving $500 apiece in cash for
these lands

GUTHRIE, 0. T., Nov. 2S-J. NJ Smith of
Seward, o. T.. who is nearly ninety years
old, states that he remembers well Sam
uel Brent of Columbia, Ky, who sixty
years ago conceived the idea of causing
rainfall by using explosives, and for that
purpose erected Il high tower from which
he exploded large quantities of powder.
So successful was he that he obtained Il
large following and created Il great sensa-
ton throughout Kentucky and bordering
states. His experiments We're not tinanci-
ally successfully, however, and after eX-
pending large means, his efforts fell into
innocuous desuetude and were forgotten by
a tickle public.
Before the ace of balloons and dynamite
he appears to have caused rain to fall by
the same means sought by Melbourne and
others. Then why should he not be ac-
corded the credit of discovery, instead of
these modern rain kings VINO simply fol-
low in his footsteps, causing rain by atmos-
pheric disturbances, but using later diScov-
cred means instead of powder in accom-
plishing the same object!
