The second alarm this week was sounded
about 9;45 Wednesday evening for a fire
IN Higgins's livery stable, rear of Todd's
Main street block. The department re-
sponded quickly, but it was several minutes
before water came, as it was necessary to
NIL all the pipes in town, for they are
drained out in cold weather to prevent
freezing. The fire broke out in the stable
office and was probably caused from the
explosion of lamp. Mr.. Higgins was in
the room over the Office working on his
books when he was surrounded by flames.
he went to the stairway but could not de-
scend as it was all ablaze. He broke out a
window aud jumped to the ground, at the
same time shouting fire. He had pack
age OF money amounting to $500 on the
desk when he was writing, and he had no
time to save even this. He was quite Sc
verely burned about the head and face 1t
was about 30 minutes after the alarm was
sounded before the fire was under control,
and it was only by hard fighting that it
was cut off from the large three story block
adjoining. All the buildings in the vicinity
were in danger, as large sparks foated in
all directions, making it necessary to turn
| streams of water on those nearest the build
ing. The fire spread so rapidly that it was
with difficulty that the several horses in the
barn were saved, and two of them were
badly burned. One of the horses when
taken out was literally on fire, for the blanket
was blazing all over. Mr.. Higgins saved
all his wagons, but lost some % harness
and seven single and two double sleighs
and lot of robes and blankets. He lost
several account books but saved quite LOT
which are scorched and soaked with water
His loss will aggregate $4,000, with nc
insurance. Todd's loss on buildings will
probably be $1,000, insured. The Worder
company used corner in the barn as {
store-room for hardware, paints, ETC., anC
will lose about $500, insured, damag,
mostly by water. NJ. V. Colton's loss from
water will probably reach SIS, insured
Mr. Todd, we understand, will not rebuild
the barn but instead will put up tenemen
block on the site.

NO RIGHT TO MARRY.

A marriage contracted between
members of the two races, whites and
blacks, is declared to be illegal and
void under the State laws of Arkan-
sas.
Such was the declaration of Judge
j. Lea. in decision rendered by him
in the Pulaski circuit court, al Little
Rock, Ark, on yesterdav, in the case
of the state against Thomas and Mary
Dodson, who were charged with vio-
lating the State law by illegal cohabi-
tation. Dodson is very black negro
and his spouse white woman. They
were married many years ago in reg
ular form by minister, and we're ar
rested some months ago for Illegal CO.
habitation. Judge Vaughan defended
them and urged that the clauses of the
constitutions of 1864, 1868, and 1874,
granting TO the blacks the rights OF all
white persons to enter into contracts
abtogated the provision of slavery
days embodied in section 1898 of
Mansfield's Digest which provides
that "all marriages of white persons
and negroes or mulattoes are declared
To be illegal and void" He also urges
that this act was contrary to the 14th
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States.
Judge Lea administered the lowest
fine. known to the law which was 500
in the case Of each. Judge Lea also
held that the minister who performed
the ceremony had violated the law.
Judge Vaughan took an appeal to the
Supreme Court which was granted

go, in the Chickasaw Nation, and who
is thoroughly well posted on the sub
ject, has this to say:
"The Indians are almost unanimous
ly opposed to any attempt to change
their present status. The full bloods
especially are extremely jealous Of any
move in that direction. The govern
or, Jonas Wolf, full blood, who does
not speak English, called the leglsla-
ture together in special session for the
purpose of sending two delegates to
Washington to oppose any law look
ing to a change of their present status.
The legislature met at Tishomingo
Monday, Jan. %, and received the gov
ernor's message. The governor read
it himself in Indian, after which his
interpreter translated the same in En-
glish, tor the benefit of the, English
speaking members of the legislature,
Of whom there are but five or six.
The governor took strong ground
against Statehood, saying there was
discussion throughout the press Of the
country of measures affecting the
Chickssaw nation, and it was necess-
airy for the nation to send delegates to
Washington to defend and protect its
interest. He did not, as published in
press dispatches, appoint committee
to meet the Dawes commission, and
meyer made any reference to said COM
mission. 1t appears that he intends
to ignore the commission and treat
with congress through representatives
ofhis own selection"
Concerning the views Of the white
element Of the nation COL Stsndifer
says:
"They seem to be generally in favor
of it. They regard it as inevitable at
no distant period, and squatters are
already beginning to invade the ma
tion go as to be ON the ground when
the country is thrown open to home
stead settlement"
