OKLAHOMA OUTLINES,

The Oklahoma City Journal sends up q
very commendable cry for more free
| bridges.
II the Indians get to killing there will
not be so many ''sooners" in the new
country.
Bushyhead is candidate for governor
in the Cherokee nation and his head is
very busy.
The authorities are surely not going to
| allow this week TO go by without captur-
ing the Daltons again.
The Oklahoma City Gazette will not re-
! ceive vegetables on subscription. Times
must really be getting prosperous IN Okla
| homa
| There is no row in the church in Okla
homa. They are too busy building new
| edlfices and keeping the flock together for
| that.
| Secretary Noble says he is too much
| overworked to visit Oklahoma. That is
| just why he should visit Oklahoma. 1t is
! better than summer resort.
The BARRIERS of Oklahoma City want one
day in the week to talk little, and they
have petitioned the city council to forbid
shops to be opened on Sundays.
The first introduction the traveller gets
to Oklahoma, coming from the north, is
the Ponca Indians eating the intestines OF
dead cattle. If man can stand that he
| can endure almost anything else he is
liable to see i'll the whole territory.
A young man named Cobb, living down
in the Nine Mile valley was drowned Sat
urday afternoon while bathing in the
North Canadian river. He was out in the
current of the stream when he was taken
with violent cramp and was drawn down
by the current. His body was found Sun
day. afternoon 100 yards below where it
sank.
The work of allotment goes right on.
Now Uncle Sam has put an Indian woman
at it. Miss Helen Clark, a fuil-bood of
the Blackfooe tribe, has been appointed
special allotting agent by Secretary Noble
and began work on the old Nez Perces
reservation, south Of Arkansas City, a few
days ago, allotting the land to the Tonka-
was. After she finishes there she will
visit the Poncas, Otoes and Pawnees in
succession, allotting land to each OF the
members of these tribes. 1t is said il will
take her two years to complete the work.
She is an intelligent looking lady and Is
graduate of Carlisle.
Oklahoma City Journal: Last night
about o'clock jesse Newman walked
into the residence OF James Mundv at the
west end of First street. and made an in
decent proposal to Mrs. Mundy, which
she Indignantly refused, whereupon he
drew a revolver and was about to compel
her TO submit TO his proposal when Mr.
Mundy stepped in and grabbed the william,
but in the struggle he freed himself and
escaped. Mr.. Mundy runs confectionery
next to DR.. Munger's drug store on Broad
way, and last evening he closed bis place
Of business just before the rain and start
ed home. AS he drew near his residence
on West First street, he could hear his
wife moaning and saying, please go
away and leave me-" He rushed to the
door and WAS inside before the brute had
time 20 escape or even change his position
On throwing open the door Mr. Mundy
found Jesse Newman standing in the mid
die OF the room pointing a 10 Colts re-
volver at Mrs. Mundy, who was sitting on
the edge of the bed removing her shoes in
obedience to his command. Mundy sprang
at the fiead and grabbed both his arms
from behind. Newman struggled to get
free and threw back his right hand which
struck the open door, knocking his revol-
yer out of his hand. He then sprang away
from Mundy and got outside running
across the street to his own house Mundy
did not try to follow him far in the in
tense darkness, but after taking his wife
to a neighbours he hurried down town and
got Officer Day out in search of the brute.
Officer Day went directly to Newmau's
house, and when somebody from the
inside started to open the door in obedi-
ence to his knock, pressed the door open
and quickly stepped into the room. He
at first discovered only a tall man in the
room who did not resemble Newman in
the least, but just as he was about TO
step outside again he glanced behind the
door and there discovered Newman. He
made no effort to resist but came AWAY
feigning to know nothing of the crime
with which he stands charged. He was
taken TO the jail and locked ND. where he
