will be remem bered as one of the most
pleasant, profitable and speedy excur-

turned TO gray dawn, and we were
joined by goodly numbers at Oklaho-

ride through the territory and Kansas
was cool and comfortable and an extra
sleeper was attached which we lost no
time in occupying. The excellent ser
vice and rapid time made, kept all the
passengers in good spirits.
Mr. Scagraves, the genial passenger
igent of the Santa Fe accompanied
the party through TO Denver and
spared no efforts conducive TO the
pleasure and comfort of the passeu-
gers.
Tuesday morning found us in full

broad eXpanse of rolling prairie sparse
Y coyered with sage brush and cactus
and SO desolate that even the jack
rabbits looked disconsolate.
As we journeyed northward the
mountains seemed nearer and looked
bluer at every mile until Pixies Peal
seemed To all of us not more than hall
a mile distant Then we continuous

Vnlaiuous Il UnCa,Icd for Attack on
Rev joel smith
one Of the most villaiuous and out.
ragcous libels ever perpctrated in Ok
lahoma was that which appeared in
the Capital last evening, charging
Rev Joel Smith, presiding elder of the
Methodist church cf Oklahoma, with
being intimate with married lady at
Gucda Springs, Kansas. The story
told is a lie out Of whole cloth and has
no foundation whatever Smith ar
rived ia the city last night and was
Inundated and mortified when told Of
the story printed by the evening
sheet
1t the most diabolical outrage /
ever heard Of, said Rev smith, land
somebody will suffer The wife Of one
Of my best friends was at Gueda
Springs while was there, and as a
friend and minister showed
her some friendly attentions
but never for moment d d l think
courteous treatment would be con-
strued TO mean anything else The
clipping from the Gueda Springs Her
aid while contemplate is not libelous,
but the comments of the Capital would
lead one TO think | am a beast | am
young man and nave my way to
make, but such publications as the
Capital makes, will tend to ruin me. |
am entirely innocent OF any wrong
doing and feel sure my church will
not let the aspersions east upon it, go
unheeded.
Elder Smith labored under great
suppressed excitement while making
his statement lie is one Of the Gore
most preachers in Oklahoma and bears
the respect and esteem OF all The
attack made on him is slur on the
ministry and should not go unnoticed
Bat as the Capital is in the habit of
saying something one day and rctract-
ing IL the next, TuE LEADER does not
think its blovations will amount to
much.
