She Defended Her Claim.

When the Cherokee strip was opened
some time ago Miss Agnes Jones took
up a claim some twenty miles north OF
Perry, in the Perry land district, and
built a neat house on it. Not long
ago she went to Kansas to visit her
relatives and during her absence a
man named Sam Bartel took posses
sion of her claim and moved into her
house. A few days since she returned
from her visit and found her home
occupied. She was very Indignant and
ordered Bartel to leave the place at
once, but he laughed in her face and
declined to go. T%hereupon Miss Jones
whipped out from under her apron Il
big ~six-shooter and opened fire on the
intruder. He returned the fire. but
she proved the better marksman, for
she put three bullets into him and he
did not hurt her. Ncighbors came
running In to see what the trouble
was about and Bartel asked them to
carry him off the claim. which they
did. He Is fatally wounded, but the
opinion OF the district upholds Miss
Jones In defending her rights.

4 Sea Monster.

London Telegraph.
A remarkable encounter with a
strange SEA monster is reported BY
the crew OF the bark L0ogana, which
arrived from the Gilbert group to-day.
The vessel was drifting along some.
where In the vicinity of the Santa
Cruz group when the helmsmen shout
cd out that there was a whale along
side. According to the mate, the visit
or, which almost touched the vessels
side, was not IA whale at all, but a
monster 30 feet long and II feet broad,
completely different from anything
even seen before by any one on tue
ship.
1t had Il mouth large enough to take
in half a dozen men. 1t resembled u
whale about the tail, but was different
~ formed about the head, and was OF
a dark color spotted with white. Ilm
eyes were visible. Fearing an attack
from the monster, two shots were
tied at its body from Il Winchester
rifle, but the bullets appeared to nave
not the slightest effect. A third siiol,
which struck its head, had the desired
result, and with one sweep OF the Tall
it turned and disappeared as suddenly
as IL had hove in sight.

Judge Il. l.. Boyd Of this city,
who represents the progressive,
or allotment ideas, s, =, Mo5loy
and William Byrd each repres-
enting factional ends of the pull

ments. 1t is hard for any one
not into the workings of Chick
asaw politics to conjecture with
any degree Of correctness as to
the results and nothing short of
the actual returns can form a
basis for IN opinion. Judge
Boyd has made a vigorous cam
paign and there eau be but little
doubt that should u free ballot
and fair count prevail lie will be
the choice of a majority Of those
entitled TO n voice in the election.
lie represents the only Intelligent
Issue. that Of an inevitable chan
se of conditions either by accept
anco ~f prolfered terms from the
government or through oompu.-
sorry congressional legislation.
This being generally accepted as
the true situation il seems TO us
tho interests of the Indians would
have a better show for protection
in the hands OF one in. harmony
with the views of the Dawes COM
mission, than they would in
those OF governor who is dis
posed to be actuated bv blinded

The ARDMoRErTE trusts the inter-
married citizens and progressive
full bloods will do their duty not

by voting for and electing Judge
Boyd as their next and last gov
ernor.
