THE CHooTAw WAR.
A sanguinary Conflict Between the
Factions Narrowly Averted.

After being lulled to rest and their
fears silenced by the supposed armis-
tice between the warning factions of
Jones and Locke, the citizens of the
Choctaw Nation are again thrown in
to a fever of excitement by the latest
movement between the contending
forces, which had already resulted in
the capture of fourteen militiamen by
Locke and his followers, and but for
the timely interference of Government
Inspector Faison, would in few
hours more have resulted in bloody
battle. Locke was moving on Good
| land and in an hour he would have
swooped down upon the militia. The
attack would have been so unexpected
that they would have have been scat
tered to the wind. He was thorough
ly posted as to their position. A
great item was spoiled. Locke turn
ed the prisoners loose, but kept their
guns, and went back to Antlers.
There Mr.. Faison informed him that
his men must disband. He marched
up in line, made them talk and told
them to 90 home. They all left at
once.
Mr.. Faison then went to Goodland
and met Gov. Jones, who readily
agreed to disband the militia. Satur-
day night 1875 of them left OIL the
north-bound Frisco. AT Talehina, on
Dukes order, they stopped and went
into camp. Then they had a great
time. There was row in camp and
a shooting scrape occurred in which a
sheriff was shot through the foot. AT
ter that they went wild and riddled
the section house with bullets.
Mr.. Faison went again to Goodland
and there much to his surprise found
about two hundred mllitismen there
Mr.. Faison in talking with Gov. Jones
demanded the process they claimed to
have for the men wanted II was re-
luctantly shown him. 1t read;
ARREST Willie Jones and all others
who may be wanted"
Jones was told that such a docu.
ment was worthless and was asked
why he gave such a sweeping order
He said he did it upon the advice OF
friends. 1t was suggested that he had
better burn 1t.
Agent Bennett is at Antlers, as is
Commissioner Gibbons md Captain
Guthrie, against whom the Jones del
egation to Washington preferred grave
charges. These gentlemen are court
ing the fullest investigation of their
acts and do not fear the result.

Justice Hamilton's Court.

The case OF State Va. w. l.. Grigsby,
whose arrest on charge Of bigamy
was noted In this paper some days
since, was called for examining trial
before Justice W. I. Hamilton this
morning. Upon arraignment the de-
fendant waived examination and was
committed to jail, In default of $500
bail, to await the action of the Miller
County Grand Jury A large num-
Der of witnesses appeared, in answer
to summons Of the court, to testify
in the cause, all Of whom were
cited to appear at the next term of

MAYOR LARY's PROCLAMATION
An Able and Interesting Document
from the West Side Mayor.

An Able and Interesting Document
from the West Side Mayor.
We take pleasure in reproducing
from the recent message of Mayor S.
d. Larry to the West side city council,
the following extracts, which are adj
dressed to the capitalists of the coun-
try who are seeking safe investment
in city property:
In conclusion will say to capitalists:
| do not know of a better city In the
south In which to invest your capital,
as we can safely guarantee you IL to
IA per cent per annum upon all judi
cial investments which you may place
IN the city of Texarkana And /
hereby invite, and guarantee that our
citizens will aid financially, in estab-
fishing in this city such enterprises as
canning factories, iron foundries,
furniture factories, wondenware fac
tories; being in the midst of one of the
largest timber and iron belts in the
southwest, and located within six
miles of a river that is navigable nine
months out of the year, and could
safely say that with good line of
steamboats, established on the Sulphur
river, that we could receive freight
from st. Louis, New Orleans and New
York City at about % cents per 100.
We have railroad connections with
the four cardinal points of the con-
tinent, q new line ofrailroads in course
of construction, with large number
of men and teams at work on ii from
Kansas City to Texarkana, with a
continuation to Sabine Pass, one of
the deep-water ports of the Gulf OF
Mexico.
The health of our city is unusually
good at present, the death rate an
nually being not over 6 to the thous-
and. The morals of our city are bet
ter than ever known. A few years
ago, like all new cities, we had few
killers among US and few bad men
from Bitter creek, but they have all
like the Star of Empire, sought their
way further west to places like Okla
homa and the wild west settlements
We have to-day among us as many
churches, ministers and church-going
people as any city of our size in the
enlightened east, as we have a church
for every two or three blocks, min
lister for every church, and good
paying congregation to every minis
ter, we are right along with the march
of civilization, religiously speaking.
We have few crimes committed in
our city like all large cities of the east
and west, but the punishment has
been so swift here Of late till they are
largely on the decrease.
l invite all persons to locate with
us, grow up with us, be with us finan-
cially, politically, religiously and 80
cially. Very Respectfully submitted

Mayor of the city of Texarkana, Texas

The Rnlsterous Atlantic

Is terror to timid voyagers, scarcely
less on account of the perils of the
deep than the almost certainty of sea
sickness. The best curative of mai de
mer is Hostctter's Stomach Bitters
which settles the stomach at once and
prevents its disturbance. TO all trav-
elers and tourists, whether by sea or
land, II presents happy medium be-
tween the nauseous or Intellectual re-
sources OF the medicine chest, and the
problematical benefit derivablc from
an unmedicated alcoholic stimulant
no matter how pure. The jarring OF
a railroad car often produces stomach
disorders akin to that caused by the
rolling of ship. For this the Bitters
is prompt and certain remedy. The
use Of a brackish water, particularly
on long voyages in the tropics, inevi-
tably breeds disorders Of the stomach
and bowels. IIostetter's Stomach
Bitters mixed with impure water null
lifes its impurities. Similarly 1t coun.
teracts malarial and other prejudicial
influences of climate or atmosphere
as well as the effects Of exposure and

REpEEnING SILVER.

The statement has often been made that
the Government of the United States has
promised to redeem silver in gold. If this
statement were true it would mean that the
4l2a grain silver dollar is redsenable in
25S grain gold dollars. But no promise of
this nature has ever been made. The silver
dollar circula ties at par with the gold dollar
for the reason that both are taken at their
face value for Government dues. But while
tie Government is uuder an obligation to
accept silver dollars at their face value for
dues, 1t is not under any obligation to ex-
change gold dollars for silver ones. The So
called Bland act. which required the treas
ury to coin not less than $4,000, coo nor more
than S4,000O00 worth of silver each month,
made the silver dollar so coined a full legal
tender for all debts in which the nature OF
the medium of payment was not expressed.
1t is not supposed, however. that the legal
right to pay legal tender or bonds in silver
will ever be exercised. The custom of
redeeming in gold has almost the moral
force of law. Coin bonds have been pur-
chased at high rates On the general under
standing that in the future as in the past
payment Of principal and interest would be
made in gold. 1t is possible, however, that
the fact that American securities are actu-
ally payable in coin has had much to do with
the outflow of gold. Foreign holders of
these securities have probably taken this
fact into consideration when opportunities
have been offered to invest in some kind Of
European securities which are on the face Of
tie bonds made payable in gold.

WILL KEEP HIS PLEDGE.

a contemporary comments on the decara-
ton OF County Clerk Haley to conduct his
office on $4,000 a month as follows:
II the County Clerk shall attempt to sacrifice
The public service and the interests Of the com.
munity to his pledge there viii be no excuse for
him. for II is an old and true saying that bad
promise is better broken than kept.
A promise made with full knowledge Of
the conditions under which it would be
worked out cannot be considered as one of
the promises that may be broken for the
reason that greater harm would result from
Keeping II than from breaking it; besides,
during the administration preceding the last,
the County Clerks office was conducted on
$1,000 a month. There have been no COM
plants Of a sacrifice Of public interests to
the pledge the Clerk made on accepting the
nomination. Mr.. Haley took the same
pledge which was broken by other caudi-
dates. Mr.. Haley knew what he coull do
with $1,000 month. and the public will up
hold him in keeping his pledge.

Correspondence OF THE MoRSISG CALL
1t is a curious fact that the western and
southwestern sides of the foothills of the
coast range are barren Of trees, the effect,
doubtless, of the sea breeZes or trade
winds. All the eastern slopes. and some
facing the north or south are crowded full
of wooded growths.
The willow, the bay and the laurel fol-
low close along the banks Of every stream /;
the alder is close at hand. while the wonder
fully beautiful sycamore rises from the bed
of the stream, follows the winding banks
and wanders out occasionally into the val
leys. 1t is the monarch Of valley trees.
The buckeye, the manzanita, the madrone
and oak belong to the hillsides, but the oak
alone climbs TO the hlltOps and beauties

but the AK has driven them back TO deeper
canyons and inaccessible hillsides,
A wealth OF shrubbery covers every shell
tered ravne, the most beautiful Of ali these
is the native toyan or brilliant Christmas
berry.
About many OF the farmhouses in the val
ley you VIII find rare shrubs or fine old
trees-cypress. pepper, eucalyptus or pop
lar-but the native trees at our very doors
are neglected. They are easily transplant
ed, as rule, and are as ornamental as very
many Oh lUSlI imported COUSINS. lneV do

growth.
An evergreen oak, perfect in shape stands
in Daniel San born's garden, the stump be-
ing over foot in diameter. 1t is not yet 30
years old and rivals in size and beauty any
upon the hills. Some three years ago Mr.. San
born found it necessary TO remove an ave-
nue. OF sycamore trees about the same age
as the oak. There were about forty trees
in all, none less than two feet In diameter.
and all being shapeiy and beautiful These
native trees improve under cultivation, grow
rapidly, are hardy and long lived. The

eye IS as ornamental as the pepper, and no

PROMOTING INDUSTRIES.

4 number of business men met IN the
Office Of the Carnal-Hopkins Company
Friday evening to compare views as TO the
most feasible methods of building up local
industries. Mr.. NJ. J. Flavln advocated the
formation of a real estate firm or corpora
ton to put real estate on the market in lots
60 suit purchasers of limited means. So far
rs the leading idea of this proposition is
concerned no fault need be found with il.
The more homes we have in the hands of
the wage-earning class the better for them
and for the State. But Mr.. Flayin is re-
ported as saying:
In doing this you bring to the front the great
advantages that prompt investment 10 Pacific
Coast land must have, especially in San Fran
cisco and Its surrounding country. With this In
view YOU can list and sell he better part OF the
unlmprOyed or improved property in both this
and surrounding cities upon the London Paris
and Berlin markets, Tor no other State in the
United States, or lhaps no part Of the world.
has such future as has the Stale OF California
to-day.
If California has such a magnificent
future-and of that we entertain no doubt
why part with the better part Of the real
estate of San Francisco and its surround.
Ing country? Why sell at low prices and
hand over the natural increase in land val
ues 10 foreign owners? Why not let our
own people have the profit of whatever ad-
vance in values is made? a State OF city
whose real property Is owned largely abroad
may be compared to a healthful man who is
under sentence to lose every few days
few ounces of blood. The incessant drain
Tepresses the natural vitality. In the case
of the State or city the money which should
Cow into the channels of home trade is sent
10 the foreign property holders. Whether
business is good or bad the rents must be
paid. There is no report of any delibera-
zion at this meeting to bring labor and capt.
tai together On equitable terms. But this is
where the real work is to be done. The
secret of activity in real estate is activity in
mechanical and manufacturing industries.
Every white man that works in the city
wants a home. His wages are distributed
through every channel Of trade. As soon as
he has a little surplus cash he buys a lot
and builds a house. a few thousand men
of this stamp added to the population Of
this city each year will make a market for
real estate far more reliable than can be
created by booming the State in foreign
eat
