Danutv Marshala

Quite a little interest has been man
ifested in the selection Of deputy mar
shals for this place and two caucuses
have been held and several pilgrimages
to McAlester have been made. Thus
far l.. p. Isbeil, constable, and t. X.
Knight. city marshal, have been APP
pointed. A man named johnson from
below here, has been commissioned
and will serve here until jane, when
Marshal McAlester intends to regular
ly organize his force. Sam Ridenhour
aud Joe Walker, the Southwest City
mail carrier, have been recommended
by one OF more of the caucuses and IL
is probable may be appointed. In in
structing his deputies the marshal
told them that "trumped up" petty
and frivolous cases should be given nc
attention; that il man got in bottle
or Jug of whisky for his own use II
was his own matter, not the deputy's
but If he was guilty Of selling they
should spare no effort to convict him
The same course was to be pursued, h'
said, in reference to minor disturb
ances, where no injury resulted; II
other words, the spirit rather than th'
letter OF the law was to be observed.

The M, X. g. T. Again overhauled
at Pryor Greek.


The Missouri, Kansas & Texas rail-
road suffered another raid Tuesday
night at Pryor Greek this time atthe
town. As the south-bound pas ssenger
train stopped there, at eight o'clock,
two robbers presented Winthesters Mt
the engine and ordered the engineer
and fireman TO accompany them 70 the
express car. Four other men took
charge Of the balance OF the train, the
depot and everybouy about It, and dur.
ing the succeeding operations, lasting
an hour aud ten minutes, probably ff-
ty shots were fred by the robbers
When the attack on the door begun
the messenger fired shot but threats
Of dynamite silenced him. AS soon as
one panel had been battered out the
man in charge told them the door was
locked but II they would come 10 the
other he would open IL. The car being
entered, the safes we're ordered opened
but the messenger protested that he
could not unlock the Through" safe
and finally satisfied the robbers of that
fact. The "local" safe was quickly
opened and yielded up a quantity Of
jewelry and some lottery tickets. At
tention was then directed to robbing
such persons as we're captured about
the depot and then the passengers, as
far back as the sleepers. No Que In
either OF these cars was disturbed nor
President Gentry's party, of the Kan
sas City, Pittsburg & Gulf, occupying
two special cars. When the work was
completed the robbers marched their
Victims down the track a short dis
tance to where six horses we're tied,
mounted and rode of. The amount oi
booty secured was small, as the pas
seBgers had time to secrete their val
uables and most Of them did so. W.
10. Chamberlin, mayor OF this city
lost his gold watch and money, Lyons
the insurance man, contributed few
dollars, LOU" the Chinaman, chipped
in two and a half and 80 II went
through the train. Heretofore Pryor
Greek tank has usually been the scene
OF action but for some reason the town
was chosen this time. Who the out
laws were is beyond conjecture. Pur
suit was instituted as early as possible
but thus far has not been rewarded by
success.

Am EveninR of Fun

The "Deestuck Skule," as portrayed
at the Methodist church last Friday
night and again Monday night, by
local talent, was a great hit" Not
withstanding the stormy evening the
house was full to oyerhowing and
great many failed TO get seats.
1t has been many day since an en-
tertainment in Vinita has given its
patrons more real fun. From the roll
licking, barefoot boys aud girls on
their way 10 "skule" to the staid, old
time "skulemaster" Of half a century
ago, incidents both laughable and pa
taetic were presented with viyidness
worthy of experienced stage players.

dulgent twin sister, the incorrigible
"Michael o'Flynn," whose halfsoled
trousers. disheveled locks aud dirty
face betold character we'll qualified
to give. the good "Mr. Buttermiik"
trouble, the generous Ben Harrison,
whose every pocket seemed to be a
''Yankee hens nest" and who per
sisted in giving the ''skulemaster" all
the eggs, in spite Of his earnest pro-
testations, the "Simon Simpson" with
one suspender and portholed panta-
looms out ofwhich protruded the ample
folds Of very much soiled shirt, the
lnimitable Timothy Truck" who, in
true schoolboy fashion on his way tc
school with his sweetheart stumps his
toe, falls down and yells Justify, hold
ing the decapitated member in both
hands imploriDg the tender-hearteC
"Nantoad Pegtacker" TO tie it up
which she does in the most approved
fashion, the blushing "Heliotrop'
Honeysuekle" who, girl like. asks per
mission to change her pantilets be
fore the arrival Of the "skule" board
all these, and many more character
and scenes so vividly and pleasantly
portrayed, almost made one wish to b
a schoolboy again.
