ment prevails over the gold strike near

southwest OF Arapahoe. 1t is now said
that the range igoId can be found all
along the hills from the head OF Cobo
Creek, in Caddo county, to the east line OF
Geer county, distance OF
about 40 miles, but the richest strikes SO
far have been at the head OF Boggy and
Turkey creeks, southwest of here. Sena-
tor Mccoy, who came in today from
Arapahoe, says that the town is almost de-
serted by people leaving all day Tor
the gold find, 10 miles south of Wassita

but the door would not open; the bolt

A wire was brought, and with some

around the bolt and lift it, little by little,
steadying 1t with the blade of pocket

out of the hole, the knife blade was slip

down steep flight of steps into dark

lighted their way with many successive

BAND LOST ITS WAY.
Therefore Kettle Point Got the Over
ture OF a Concert.

A German band or an Italian band, or
band OF six men OF some nationality, who
earn a livelihood by playing on brass mu-
steal instruments, and stroll from one end
of the world to the other, made descent
upon Kettle Point about 7:30 O'Clock last
evening. -
The first intimation the residents
of this beautiful spot had that there was
music in tho vicinity was few
moments earlier, when, now and again,
strain or two of music was waited over
the waves from the direction of the
Squantum Club. To the residents OF
Kettle Point the sound was rare and
beautiful, and coming as it did from the
club it was thought TO be the production
of Reeves or Livsey. OF course, all Oh
the notes could not be heard.
After a while every resident OF Kettle
Point from the youngest, which was just
one year old yesterday, to the Oldest, who
is old enough to have a picture in the
papers, were in q great state of excite
ment, for there was band
| OF music in the yard Of the family that
| lived nearest TO the railroad and Squan-
! tum. One tune had been played
and the musicians had just broken
| into the second piece, when
| they wero informed that one of their par
ty was in the next yard lying upon the
| lawn and was in danger OF being devoured
by the numerous dogs of the place. This
was sufficient, the band went pell NELL to
the assistance of their fellow bandsman.
They picked him up, bass horn and all,
and made an effort to stand him on his
| feet.
The poor fellow was helpless, and 1t
was learned that he with the others had
been to one OF the shore resorts during
the day and had squandered his income
for liauor. The five partially sober mer
were ordered to remove their mate
from the lawn or the owner
would not be responsible for him, and III
is held responsible by the natives o
Kettle Point as being the sole cause o
their not listening to the only band con
cert ever given at this place.

Tho women are all right.


In spite of the alleged witticisms of some
newspapers, the ladies, heaven bless 'em, are
all right and if the men of this country were
half as sober, half as well bred, half as saving,
half as straight up and up as their mothers,
wives, sisters, sweothearts, this world would
be pretty good to bo born in to and die out OIL
The great trouble with men, including my
self, is, we are a trife too fresh, and are
carried away with the idea that we are tho

new leaf. and for a starter see If we can't eat
