THAT BLACK BEAR AFFAIR.
A Report That Five Mounted Men We're Seen
There TeSi erday.

A private telegram received here last
night stated that there were five mounted
men, acting in suspicious manner. seen
in the neig hborhood of Black Bear creek,
Oklahoma, shortly before noon yesterday.
They attempted to do nothing, OF course,
as they were discovered before any train
was due and probably heard that there
was posse of officers in the neighbor-
hood. That was shortly before noon yes
terday and nothing has been heard from
there since. This, if.true, confirms or at
least gives color TO the statement OF
Emanuel Herrick as given in yesterday S
EAGLE 1t may be possible that he was
telling the truth.
Herrick who was confined in the county
Jail here night before last, on the charge
of holding up the Santa re train; was
taken to o, .iahoma yesterday morning on
the train he attempted to rob. Hereto
fore such crimes were subject to the juris-
diction of the United States court for this
district, but now they are subject to the
court of the territory.
While he was in Jail be was very rest
less and did not sleep wink during the
entire night. This may he natural consid-
ering the charges preferred against him,
but it is possible that he might be afraid
to go to sleep for other reasons. He was
told when he was placed IN a
cell in the rotary that spooks
visited there occasionally aud held
high carnival with the prisoners and his
attention was also called to the fact that
a number of men We're hanged in the jail.
and attaches of the jailsis that Herrlck is
deficient in intellect and that this added
to the fact of him reading dime novels
eteInally led him to the attack on the
train. Others say there is method in
his madness" and that it will yet be de-
veloped that he is daring and slick
young outlaw.
The Santa Fe people have their eyes
open and if conspiracy really existed to
rob the train they Will find it out

A CALDWELL FISH STORY.

A gentleman who came up from Cald-
well yesterday brought bran new fish
story with him. AS Caldwell people never
lie the story must be true.
About a week ago boomer came into
| that town flushed with excitement and
spread the alarm that he saw a whale or
sea serpent or same other aquatic monster
IN Fall Creek just below the water works
dam. lie was quite sure it was the biggest
fish mortal eyes ever rested upon, but
when he was pinned down TO it he
acknowledged that the fish wouldn't
weigh more than 200 pounds. This was
sufficiently large to create excitement even
In Caldwell and the chief men of the town
put their heads together and sentenced
that fish to death. Sam Woodson got a
repeating rifle, Pat O'Connor, be-
ing pretty handy with pitch
fork selected that weapon, Uncle Billy
Crozine, being a cowman, naturally took
lariet rope along John Nyoe took
double barrelled shot gun and Harvey
Horner, whose rain-making experiments
have made him partial to explosives, took
an immense stick of dynamite. Arriving
on the scene they fshed for the fish but
could not find him. A council of war
was held and it was unanimously decided
that the fish was hiding under the water
fall caused by the dam. How To get him
out of there was the important question.
Horner was Immediately seized by happy
thought. He placed Woodson, O'Connor,
Nyce and Corzine in the creek about 100
feet below and told them that he would
explode the dynamite where he supposed
the fish was and that when tue explosion
occurred the fish would swim towards them
and that then they could kill him easily.
Capital idea, " all shouted in unison and
taking off their boots and tucking up
their trousers the four entered the creek,
forming guard extending from bank to
bank. This being done Horner exploded
the dynamite at the base of the dam, but
instead of it blowing up the fish it blew up
the dam and the four men below came
within an ace of being drowned in the
wild, rushing volume of water that was
liberated
The repairs will cost about 500 and in
the meantime the water supply is depend
ent on few emergency wells.
Horner is the only man who finds conso-
lation ia the incident. He has been telling
the people all summer that he could pro-
duce floods by explosives and he has sue
ceeded to the entire satisfaction of the
four citizens who barely escaped from the
jaws of watery grave with their lives.
