Alva, o. T., Sept. 6.-(Special)-In-
formation was brought here this morn
ing OF the killing Of VIM. Holland and
the sheriff, county attorney, Justice a
j. Ross, acting coroner and Or. d. G.
Gamble as examiner, left for the Scene
or the murder. Holland was living
about sixty-five miles south of Alva,
south OF the Cimmaron river, about
three miles south Of the Black Jacks
near the head of the Cheyenne creek
ana owned a bunch Of about fifty-five
cattle. He was last seen alive on last
Sunday when two men were seen with
him at his house. Yesterday morning
Mr.. Cole who has been trying to buy
Hollands cattle went to Holland s
mouse to buy them. Not finding either
holland or the cattle he suspected
toui play and aroused the neighbors
10 search for them. The body of Hol-
land was found buried a few miles
from his house and left there until coun-
~ officials could be notified and an in
quest held. Meantime the parties seen
with Holland had disappeared The
people of the community, believing
that the cattle were stolen and Holland
murdered by these parties, have turned
out en- masse, as they did after Dick
wager. and will hunt the double GRIM
lnaiS down and the public may expect
to hear of their being lynched unless
the officers manage to get to Jail with
the parties, if caught, before the set
tiers get hold of them.
The location of this tragedy is near
Inc Cheyenne country and not near
Ava and our community would prefer
that the Eagle would so report it as
we never have had any such trouble
near Alva and do not enjoy such a
reputation as some newspapers have
enormously attributed to our peaceful
progressive and enlightened citizens.
ALVA'S GREAT FAIR.
The great fair of the Western Okla
homa association to be held here for
four days, commencing on the 18th in
stance, the anniversary of the opening

stock-raising country, second to none |
Our races and other stock exhibits will

tesy and possibly possibly conducting

Some aspiring towns in Oklahoma as
we'll as some southern Kansas towns
have been making s.eat claims in the
Eagle columns to- their towns and
vicinity and we hope soon to furnish
some statittics on freight traffic at AL
va and other matters for friendly COM
parison if the Eagle will favor Us by
publishing them.

does not meet with favor from the
business men of this city and COM
mentS anything but complimentary are
being passed on the promoters of the
in question The bust
ness men contend that such organlZa-
tons create unfavora BILE impressions
in the minds of people living outside
the territory. and consequently retard
the growth of this city and paralyZes
industries The saloon keepers are eS-
pecially indignant since they have been
TO lower their screens and
remove the blinds on their windows.
They say they do not care so much
a bout the mere form of removing
since they can stand the light
being thrown behind the bar, but they
dislike the manner in which the orders
We're issued. They declare they have
been singled out as yiolatorS of the law
while bawdy house keepers and indis-
Greet ministers are allowed TO continue
AT large. Yesterday the salooniSts dis
covered the fact that Mr.. NJ. y. Clark,
proprietor Of the Welcome grocery, was
interested in the law and order move
nlent. and a few hot-headed dealers,
il seems. at once got on the war pain |
and inaugurated retaliatory measures
on Mr. Clark. Seeing Mr.. Clark was
/ lover Of law and order, they decided
10 hold him up TO the public as the first :
riolator OF the law. Mr.. Clark con-
iucts a large grocery store at the COR
Ter of Harrison and Division, and, like :
,ther merchants, displays his goods on
he pavement in front Of his store.
