A Small Deluee.

The heaviest rain for half dozen
years fell here and north of here Mon
day night, aud railroad communica-
ton was cut of east and north for a
halliday or more. A wash out on the

fore day Tuesday, and about the mid
die of the forenoon on the Frisco a
mile or so east Of this town. between
the fair grounds and Little Cabin. The
track at the latter place was carried of
the dump" but left in such condition
that hand cars ere run upon il and
thus the transfer Of passengers, mail,
express, &c, was made. No casualties
have been reported, but those who
went out Tuesday evening on the train
were treated to a fright by h. d.
Knights boy, Herman, who rode into
the water horse back and soon got be-
yond his depth. The horse founder

started of in straight line and struck
higher ground. Gus Nichols and
Prof. Hawkins, who went to his res

nature, but their positions we're not
so peiilous. The damage to growing
crops and fields cannot but have been
considerable and great deal of fonc-

The Dead Desperate.

The man killed near Claremore on
Wednesday of last week is thought to
have been Hunter Sanders, OF Going
snake district. The man, whoever he
was, stopped for the night at the home
of the widow Gacatcher, four miles
from Clarenore, on the Verdigris,
Tuesday night lie said the marshals
were hunting him and went out ana
in several times; on one occasion lac
shot the dog. Finally the women
folks ran away from the house and the
man shot at, but missed them. They
went to the home Of Mr.. Hendricks, a
neighbor, and that mans two boys
and II. Helton and son Charles, rent
ers, went over TO see what was the
matter. They waited by the fence un-
til morning and shortly after the man
first appeared called on him to surren.
der. lie fred at them with a Win
chester and their return volley killed
HIM instantly. The body was brought
to Claremore and buried
full blood Cherokee named San
ders killed Cal scraper in Goingsnake
district last Christmas, and it is
thought from letters found upon the
person OF the man killed at Claremore
that be is Hunter Sanders. The dead
man is probably twenty-one or twenty
two years of age and must have been
crazy. During the night he set his
bed afre aud must have had difficulty |
in putting il ,ut as the stats had burn
ed in two. lie was riding an excellent
bay horse, a Hambetonian in appear
ance, which was probably stolen and |
is now in possession of Sheriff w E.
Sanders, of Claremore.
The Hendricks boys will be indicted |
by the grand jury next week and tried |
by the Cherokee courts, while Heltou
and son have been taken to TT. Smith.
OF course all Of them will be acquitted |
and thus relieved Of future embarras-
meut.

The Gallows Their Fate.

In the fedora. court at Fort Smith
last Saturday, Judge Parker passed
sentence Of death on John Pointer,
John Thornton, and John Brown, the
day set for execution being Tuesday,
June 2s, 1892. In sentencing Brown,
Judge Parker said: There is no doubt,
in the light of the evidence, of your
guilt. From the proof, you were an
actual participant in the killing of
these two men, and in brutal, savage
and wicked way, with your own hands
you shot and killed Thomas White
head and then robbed him. The dis
position to Kill was so great, the mur-
derous purpose was so powerful, that
you would not stay your hand until
you had fired the deadly bullet into the
brain of your victim. You did not en-
ter upon these murders for the purpose
of robbery, though you robbed the
man you slew. 1t seems from the ev-
idence you entered upon your bloody
missions at the instigation of wicked
woman who wanted her husband as
sassinated, and that you, Hampton and
perhaps Roach, entered upon your
bloody expedition with this purpose in
view; that you killed the two men,
Poorboy and Whitehead thi hiking at
the time they were Heck Bruner, a
United States deputy marshal, and
Brown Hitchcock, the husband Of the
woman who sent you on your terrible
errand Of blood. There are no palliat-
ing circumstances in your case, and no
extenuating facts which can be CON
sidered." All Of the condemned men
took toe matter coolly, aud had moth
ing to say.

The Duty of Total Abstinence.

The duty of total abstinence must urge
itself with peculiar force at the present
time upon all men who are truly con-
cerned for the temporal and spiritual
welfare of their fellow beings. No one
who has eyes To see or ears to hear can
deny that the results of the liquor traf-
fic upon the world at large are of the
most alarming and deplorable character
The evidence here is positive and over
whelming. On the other hand, the
known benefits resulting from the same
traffic are at the best but few and fec
BILE. Except in its use as a medicinal
agent, no one will claim that alcoholic
liquors of any kind really add anything
to the sum total of the well being and
happiness of mankind. The balance of
positive and tangible results is practi-
cally against indulgence in drink. Where
it works positive good in one case, it
works positive evil in hundred cases.
Charged against the drink habit on
the one side is a long and ever increasing
catalogue of crimes, miseries and woes,
whsle ON the other it has nothing to its
credit except the temporary relief which
alcoholic stimulants sometimes afford
the sick and diseased and the pleasur-
able sensations which accompany in
diligence with the ordinary drinker. In
view of these facts it is difficult to. un-
derstand why men of character and es-
pecially Christian men, should persist in
giving the aid of their influence and ex-
ample to the perpetuation of the drink
habit and the liquor business. There is
but one true and Christian ground to
take in a case like this, and that is the
ground taken by st. Paul, 'If meat
make my brother to offend, will eat no
flesh while the world standeth." When
will Christian men open their eyes to
this truth?-Christian at Work.

Teetotalism and Lonrexitx.

The Rev. Thomas Snow, writes DIR. j.
Moir, whose brother was one of the
most distinguished medical men in Eng
land. and became one of band of medi-
cal abstainers in London in 1867, has
collected the ages of 2,2l1 total abstain
ers now living. from the age of forty
years and upward, and he finds that
nearly one-third of the whole, or 731 out
of 2,2l1, are seventy years of age and
upward.
The ages are as follows: Ninety years
and over. s; 80 to 90 years, 1876; 20 to so
years. 5SS; 60 to 20 years, 594; 30 to 60
nrs, AS: 40 20 80 years, 40. The aver
. age is Gl.46 years, the Oldest being
95 and the youngest 40; 729 are life alb
stainers, their average age being 49. IA;
the average age when these life abstain
ers are deducted is 67.53 years, and the
average duration of their teetotalism is
20.54 years. Fifteen of the life abstain
ers are 20 years old or more, three being
over 50, and one of them IS; the last
four all hail from Scotland. When we
put these cell living teetotalers, with
an average age of Gl.46 years, and still
growing, against the 222 dead teetotal-
ers of the startling statistics" report SC
gloated over by the enemies of total alb
stinence. there is nothing more to be
