OKLAHOMA OUTLINES.

| Frank Cease judge at Norman, holds
court barefooted.
Nearly all the old Oklahoma eases in the
Muskogee court have been stricken from
the docket.
The Ell Reno base ball club and the
Kingfsher boys probably couldn't play a
game through, either
The fact that Jake Admire has gone into
the newspaper business is pretty good
evidence that Governor Steele is not going
to resign.
The Portland girl who wants an Okla
homa husband forgot to state who she ex-
pected to pay the fare from Washington
to the territory.
The commissioners, having failed to
| bring the Wichita Indians to taw, have
gone 10 see what success they can have in
the Kickapoo country.
| The Oklahoma City Gazette thinks that
if the Oklahoma City base ball boys had
won a victory over the Guthrie boys Gov
/ ernor Steele would have vetoed il.
For some reason or other C.. NJ Barnes
will not be marshal of the day" at Guth-
RE on the Fourth. 1t was generally con-
coded that he had the cinch on that honor
You can always depend on the man
who brings the editor in a stalk of corn
| eight feet high and says he has acres just
| like IL, being OF ''unquestionable veracity."
Guthrie News: Those who think it
makes no difference who gets Greer coun-
! ty do not know anything about the value
of the territory in dispute. 1t IS rich
region and this year will produce over two
million bushels of wheat.
If anybody has any doubts as to whether
the type in paper makes any difference
In the pleasure of reading it, they should
see the Oklahoma City Gazette since it
has put on its new dress. Without any
buncombe, it is beauty.
The Indian commissioners believe they
will be successful in their negotiations
with the Kickapoos, and SO do a great
many others who have talked with the
Indians; but those thoroughly acquainted
with the kickapoo character say there can
be no telling what they will do. The
kickapoos they say delight in deeeiving
people as to their tribal affairs. 1t is
thought the money they see their neigh
bors, the Sac and Fox Indians, getting
will stimulate the allotment sentiment.
The editor of the Oklahoma City Journal
received this letter the other day. The
night after its publication twenty letters
going to the girl were seen in the post
office:

The white people in the Indian territory |
watch every chance to get a right" IN the |
territory, and the Indian is considerable |
above par. Recently, at Kemp. l. T., a |
doctor took extreme measures to secure the |
coveted right. The story is told by cor |
of the Purcell Topic as follows: |
Behold, in these days there was certain |
doctor living in this community who /
lifted up his voice and wept because he |
had no right in the Indian Territory. Then
he turned to his wife and said LET us
have our little boy Cal to marry an Indian
woman; l know IL year old boy is quite
young to marry, but 1T will secure the
right all the same. So the doctor goes to
work and the match is quickly made; then
he takes the boy and Indian girl and goes
to Texas to have the matrimonial rite
Then he back home returns,
and sets down his foot to pat, and to his
darling wife says we can now settle down
for life. But alas it came to pass as the
doctor walked out one morning he found a
written notice on his gate post warning
him to get out of the country within ten
days else he would get right 3x6.
Hence the doctor is now running from
house to house with petition asking his
neighbors to sign and certify that he is a
good man. What will be done next for
right in the Indian country the Lord only
knows.
