A DESPERATE BATTLE.



GUTHRIE, 0. T.. May pa courier from
Deep Forks brings particulars Of a desper-
ate encounter of deputy marshal, single.
handed, with two horse thieves, in which
both of the latter were killed and the deputy
mortally wounded
Deputy United States Marshal E. L.
Drake met William HOstetter and Will
lam Miller, who have been wanted for
horse stealing for over two years. Drake
knowing that they were in the country and
mistrusting that they were the men asked
them if they did not go by the names of
"Wild Bill" and "Billy the Kid" One of
them, stepping up, asked Drake if he was
a deputy marshal, and warned him to move
He had no sooner got the words out Of his
mouth when the outlaws drew their re-
vOlyers, shooting Drake through the thigh
and killing his horse. Drake drew up his
Winchester and the men started to run.
He fired killing Hostetter. Miller halted
and returned the fire, hitting Drake in the
side, knocking him down. Drake, lying on
the ground took aim at Miller, and at a
distance of 200 yards shot him through the
heart.
Drake crawled to where the desperadoes
had their horses tied, and securing one
went for help.
He was taken to Sapulpa, where his
mother resides, and where he is being ten
were taken to the railroad and their fathers
were telegraphed. The latter removed the
bodies to Golden City, Mo-, for burial.
HOstetter and Miller were two of the most
desperate horse thieves that ever roamed
the Western border.

HAS HAD ENOUGH.
The Salvation Army Needed in
other Parts of the city.

other Parts of the city.
DR.. Armstrong has been annoyed for the
past month by the nightly concerts of the
Salvation Army, which takes up its post
directly under his window. The doctor
has sent to the captain of the Army the
following letter:
OLYMPIA May p, 1892.
Captain Salvation Army:
For the past month you have held your
outdoor meeting under my window, every
evening. 1 do not object to music, but you
overWhelm me with it; neither do I object
to you making me the special object of your
efforts, but it appears to me that salvation
was never intended for only one person in
a town. There are many other distin-
guished sinners who deserve some con-
sideratiOn. One night each week might
protitably be spent on DR.. Kincaid,
another on Contractor Liberman, Brad
Davis and Milton Giles. Then any spare
time you may have should be devoted to
the city council. They need it and l am
sure will appreciate it. They are unre-
generated and may require some extra labor
on your part but when won, would GER
tainly make a picturesque addition to your
procession. Respectfully suggested by
G. S. ARMSTRONG.

room sleepers, elegant day coaches and
dining cars of latest design, built expressly
for this service, and are exquisite in furn-
ishings and convenient and comfortable in
arrangement and so complete in every
detail that they have no superior in COM
fort and elegance. The dining car service
is pronounced by all the most elegant ever
inaugurated, and is operated i'll the interest
of its patrons.

A Little Girls Experience in a
Lighthouse.

Mr.. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keepers
of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand Beach,
Mich, and are blessed with daughter four
years old. Last April she was taken down
with Measles, followed with a dreadful
Cough and turning into Fever. Doctors
at home and at Detroit treated her, but in
vain, she grew worse rapidly, until she was
a mere 'handful of bones. Then she
tried DR.. Kings New Discovery and after
the use of two and a half bottles, was COM
pletely cured. They say DR.. Kings New
Discovery is worth its weight in gold, yet
you may get trial bottle free at Mari &

Hon. Daniel f. Beatty, the great organ
and piano manufacturer, is building and
shipping more organs and pianos than
eyer. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home pen
nuess plow boy, and by his indomitable
will he has worked his way up so as to sell
so far, nearly 100000 of Beatty's organs
and pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles in his way that
would have wrecked any ordinary man for
comes out of brighter than ever. His in
stTuments, as is well known, are very pop
ular and are to be found in all parts of the
world. We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 100000
more of his make, that means a business
of $40, ,OOO,O 900 if we average them at $1OO
each. 1t is already the largest business of
the kind in existence. Send to Daniel +.

FRANK FORD s Son, proprietors of Il Sun
nyside," have established one of the largest and
best Seed Houses in America. Their business
the past year was enormous, and yet thus far
| their sales for 1892 are fully one-third larger
| than during the same period of 1891. Their
| fame and success rests on a solid merit Their
statements are always verified by the facts. No
one ever had any old or inferior seed palmed
| off on him for a first class article, when order
| ing from this reliable house. The rapid growth
of their trade attests their continued popularity,
and demonstrates the character of their seeds.
People who are accustomed to send their or
ders. to distant seedsmen, should get one ot
FORDS Catalogues, and then give this house
their orders for seeds. That will end their send
ing away for Seeds for of all the numerous es-
Establishments of the country, none offer superior
advantages to the purchaser, and very few as
many, as that of FORD & Son. Then FORD s
Son are right here, and if mistake occurs or
either side, or if you are in a great hurry for
your seeds, the advantages are manifest, to say
nothing of express charges, &c. FORD & Son
handle the best seeds grown, and apply the mos
thorough tests before using them for the trade
Those who have never visited Sunnysde
, should avail themselves of a personal inspection
of its resources. They will be given pleasan
greeting by the genial proprietors, who will b
found not only entertaining but sound o
: all they claim for their seeds.

ABOUT UMBRELLAS.
One Who Knows Tells How to Preserve
These Necessary Friends in Need.

lit is an old umbrella, sir; it is
weak in the limbs and stiff in the joints
like a rheumatic, and yet it is highly
respectable umbrella and one that has
served me faithfully for years" So
spoke an exquisite gentleman at the
Southern to st. Louis GtObe-Den20crGt
reporter. and he spoke with an affec-
ton which there was no attempt to
conceal. DO you know" he contin-
ued, 'there is something wonderfully
companionable about an old umbrella?
l have a strong regard for everything
that is old-old pipes, old cigars. an
old friend, old wine-especially the
last named, on suitable occasions and
in appropriate quantities. Therefore,
| like an old umbrella, and moreover,
it is quite a companion, as have said.
I do not think there are many men
who can boast of the same care as
have shown for this umbrella, and that
is the reason why it has lasted me SO
long.
"There are a couple of points with
regard to the care of an um brella with
which l would wish to supply the pub
lie, for | am crank on the subject.
One is in connection with the rolling
of it up. To do this so as not to in-
jure the ribs and joints firmly grasp
the points below the cloth with your
right hand while you glide downward
with your left till the folds are nicely
laid. The other is when the umbrella
is soaked with wet, set it with the
handle resting on the floor and let the
water run off the ends of the ribs. If
you set it with the ferule down, the
water will rust the hinges at the crest. :"
The audience to whom the remarks
were addressed agreed that the advice
was timely
