Hard Times In Oklahoma.

GUTHRIE, o. II. Sept 25.-A courier
just in from Chandler says the situation
there Is a terrible one, and that hundreds
of people are leaving. Muddy, nauseat-
ing water sells for 25 cents a glass, and
horses are dying by the score. On the
road no water Is to be had for twenty
miles, and the sides OF the road are lined
with exhausted teams. Unless the town
site Is opened soon, riot and b~loodshed
will follow. Bread Is so cents q loaf,
and other things in proportion.

DEAR SIR: Your letter of yesterday
was received. L have reason to fear
that jenkins who is Il desperate man
will escape, and should be lodged in
jail as soon us practicable. If the ply.
sicians Is not perfectly disinterested
and honorable you can have doctors ex-
anime him, and find out his condition.
But the main thing is the guard who
has him in charge. This guard should
be q brave, watchful and cautious man,
and after every precaution has been
taken he, the prisoner, should be car
RED to jail before he gets fully well or
strong. OF course. 1 am solicitous
about his escape, because. of the requisi"
ton from Florida and not about the
crime in this state, and L only wanted
to put you on your guard.
Yours respectfully,

DEAR SIR-In answer to q letter Of

way manage to escape the guard and

arrest. Captain McTeer has been very
Ill for q long time and Is still in a very

DIED,

DIED.
CORNEVEAUX-In this city, suddenly, of
dropsy of the heart, Sunday morning, June
IA, 1891, Mrs. Amy l.. the beloved wife of
Frank J. Corneveaux, aged rs years.
The announcement of this sudden death
comes like a shock to this community. A
year has rot yet elapsed since she stood
bride at the marriage altar. The hopes and
plans of happy home are so soon and so
terribly blighted. Mrs. Corneveaux was the
daughter of Drvid L. Chandler of Cedar City.
She received good education, being gradu'
ate of the upper Iowa College at Fayette.
She was most acceptable and successful
teacher in the county for several years. She
| was a young lady of high moral and religious
purposes and of generous heart. In less
than two weeks she was planning to become
settled in the fine new house nearly finished for
| their residence. But the Divine purpose was
different. Appropriate funeral services were
held at the house by Rev. G. E. Wright, after
which the remains we're taken to Cedar City
| for burial. A funeral service was held at the
Cedar City school house and the very large
number of friends present evinced the wide
spread regard in which the deceased was
held. To the sorrewing husband and othe,
relatives we extend our sincere sympathy.
