ENID DENIES PAUPER STORIES.
Dispatches Announcing Destitution IN
Denounced.

Enid, o. r, June 11.-(Special)-Te
terday beginning at u:3S one Of the
heaviest rains that has fallen since the
opening of the strip visited the country
surrounding this city. The rain storm
formed in three different directions
and lasted about twelve hours at inter-
walls. The west part of Garfield county
was very much flooded, eight inches
having fallen in the Turkey creek and
valley and five and half inches farther
north. Nearly three inches Of water
fell in this city and from one and
half to four inches east Of the city.
This section of the territory has been
blessed with sufficient rain to insure
good crops for the last three weeks.
The wheat crop which was thought 70
be an entire failure three weeks ago
will avera ge ten bushels to the acre.
irresponsible adventuristS who live
through misrepresentation have been
travelling in the east seeking aid for
alleged sufferers in this county, making
an elephant out of mouse in their re-
ports concerning the condition Of the
people and their untruthful reports
reached the Associated Press, hence the
reputation of the strip counties has been
injured.
The manager of the Enid Daily Wave
has made a canvass of the country sur
rounding this city and found very little
dctual CeStltutlOn, IN Iacl not any more
than is usually found in older coun-
tries. 1t is true that there is a small
per centage of destitute people here
who came into the country destitute
not having any means to begin farming,
some Of them not being able to buy a
horse or anything else to begin work
on their claims. This class perhaps
beat some good people out of claims
who would have had means to Improve
the virgin soil. The majority Of the
so-called destitute have not plowed
much land and many Of their claims lay
Just as they did the day of the opening,
with no improvements whatever. A
family would starve to death on a farm
in the east If they didn't work it The
Garfield county authorities are taking
care of the deserving destitute. It 10
quite natural that there would be some
restitution in the strip as it is the his
tory OF all new countries.
: The city of Enid is fourishing -
much as the circumstances of the pe0-
pie will allow, building as fast az adj
visable. The city is the distributing
point for a vast country lying to the
west. at least 10000 people do their
trading in Enid.

FIFTEEN WERE IN THE HOUSE
Bot of Hot Lightning Rummages Through
an Oklahoma Family.

Guthrie, June 11.-Yesterday after
noon while the storm was at it's heighth
around Orlando. lightning struck the
house Of Mr.. Harleman who lives two
miles north Of that burg, and as the
house contained fifteen persons at the
time, that some of them were not
killed seems short Of miracle.
DR.. Sharp of Orlando. who was there
on a professional visit, his wife, the
three little boys Of J. w. Avery and Mr.
Harleman's family were all in the house
when the electric bolt struck the CHM
ney and ran down the pipe, tearing it
to pieces. and four large balls Of fire
poured off the legs Of the stove into the
ground. Mrs. Sharp was hit with q
piece Of coal and Mr.. Harleman's old
est son shocked, but although they were
all around the stvye and the bolt was
so fervid that it baked the ground white
around the stove. no one was seriously
injured.
During the storm the house Of Mr.
Delaney, who adjoins the town, was
also struck but no one was injured.

New York, June 11-Chauncey M
Depew says the speeches he has made
in the last two years have not been as
satisfactory to him as some others he
has made. It has been limited that Mr.
Depew intends to go on a presidential
starring tour over the country preyi-

will be about July Is. Report says Mr..
Depew is carefully studying newspaper

noting every reference to himself as a
possibility for the presidential nOmina-
ton. This starring tour is said to be
Tor the purpose Of feeling the national
pulse, SO that. if failing himself, he can
predict the nominee. When Mr.. Depew
was informed Of these stories he laugh
ed and said:

theatrical folks call "long jump" as
he hopes to make speech at the Van

their creed. but at all events that
speech did not receive as much thought

lie Harrington, murdered in her own
room ten days ago, was concluded to-
day. The testimony Of four additional
witnesses completed a perfect alibi for
the late Senator Buck. /. ". Lees,
chief Of the local detective force, stated
that he had followed every clue and
every person having any apparent pos
sible connection with the case. He was
still absolutely In the dark regarding
the identity Of the murderer and adj

indicated that the murder was most
brutal. He was satisfied that the muir
derer was thoroughly familiar with
the premises. He was convinced that
the crime had not been committed for
purposes Of robbery. The fatal wounds
had probably been inflicted by pistol
used as a club. The jury returned a
verdict Of murder committed by some

Washington. June 1.-THE secretary
of the interior decided today to send
Inspector Faison to the Usage country
to report on the perturbed condition
OF affairs in that country. Almost daily
for weeks the secretary has received
letters from people living in the reser-
walton or on the border making COM
plants against Agent Freeman, who is
being accused of almost everything. in
Guiding some very serious ones of
financial character. Charges are also
made Of immortality in the reservation
schools due to some extent to the action
OF the agent. as alleged. 1t is complain
ed that nearly year ago Freeman is
sued an order forbidding merchants
and business men on the border in Kan
sas. Oklahoma and the Indian Terri
tory to collect bills in the Usage coun-
try. Formerly the border people had
been accorded this privilege and when
the order was issued the Indians and
whites living in the Usage country had
credit for over $4,000 in goods and the
order prevents collections for debts
contracted before it was issued This
feature is especially represented as be-
ing unfair. Some demand that the
agent be compelled to recind this order.
while others ask that at least they be
allowed to collect bills contracted be-
fore the order was issued The agent
Is charged with being in collision with

Chairman Caldwell, General Passenger
Agent Sebastian of the Rock Island,
and Assistant General Passenger Agent
Smith Of the Burlington and Missouri
river were appointed committee to
draw up an agreement which is to be
presented to the meeting tomorrow.
The committee was also directed to
confer with the lines not represented,
and ascertain their views on the
formation Of an association. The
lines not represented were the Missou-
ri. Kansas and Texas; the Denver and
Rio Grande and the Colorado Mid
land. The general feeling today was in
favor of an association to cover all
the territory between Chicago and
Utah. There were. however, lines
which favored the two associations,
one for the territory between Chi.
cago and the Missouri river, and one
for the territory between the Missouri
river and Utah. The Denver and Rio
Grand in particular is in favor Of the
latter plan. 1t wants a trans Missouri
association with headquarters at Den
yer. The Colorado Midland is non-com-
initial and there are doubts whether
or not the Missouri. Kansas and Texas
will consent to come into the asSocia-
ton. The Fort Scott and Gulf today
declared that It did not care to be-
come a member as it had so little at
stake in the territory in which the as

committee will without doubt, report
tomorrow in favor Of one association
between Chicago and Utah and it is
fairly contain that the attempt to
form such an association will fail.
