Governor Renfrow Presents His Annual
Report to Secretary Smith.
WASHINGTON, Oct 3.-Governor Rem
frow of Oklahoma, in his animal re-
port takes a strong position IN favor
of opening to settlement the Wichita,
Kiowa, Comanche and Apache reserva-
tions. He scores the press of the coun-
try for ublishlng things about Okla
homa, and also takes TO task the Home
Missionary society for making repre-
sensations about restitution pre-
vailing in certain parts of
oklahoma Says the governor:
1.-The press of the nation has often
depicted the suffering in Oklahoma,
which may have led many to a miscon-
ception of the true condition of the
people of this territory. So, too, have
been the statements of many persons
who have taken upon themselves the
task of calling aid f.r Oklahoma, and
even the agents for some of the Home
Missionary societies have depicted a
condition which, if it really existed,
ought to cause their supporters to
Withdraw from SO barren a field
The governor observes that there has
been very little outlawry in Oklahoma
outside the invasions made from the
population is 275, 900, with Oklahoma
county leading, with 2O,523, and Logan
county next, with 10, 532.
TaXabl property has increased dur
ing the year from $40, 947, 1922 to $685.
275, 1879. This phenomenal increase is
ascribed to the fact that patents are
being issued on claims, placing claims
within the reach of taxa ton. Cana
dian county leads in taxable property,
having s., SIC, 500 and Oklahoma coun-
ty next, with 81, SIS. $50.
In covering the finances of the ter
there is very little borrowed capital

counts, 1896, 00U; securities, $4,000;
cash and sight exchange, $l65, 900.
The school population is reported to
be 77,770, and the membership of the
Baptist church $500, and that of the
Catholic church is placed at even
10000
The governor closes his report with
some remarks about the Indian, in
which he insists that it would be well
for the Indian to be forced to work.
The governor observes: 1.-The Indian
citizen, when left to solve the problem
of life like other men, will no doubt
find that he must conform to the con-
ditions of life about him. and will set
tie down to life of useful industry

DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 3.-Dallas peo-
pie tbronged the streets discussing the
news from Austin, and the general
sentiment is that the question is
finally settled and that all idea of
holding the mill here must be aban-
doned. Said Dan Stuart discussing the
matter: 1.-The contest VIII not come

far under the law. We did not touch
a stick of timber till the highest
judicial tribunal of Texas in criminal
matters decided there was no law
against glove contests on the statute
books The legislature was called to
remedy the defective law, and that is
an end of it. F"

asked.

at the corner of Twenty fourth and
State streets, where Mr.. Pabst
wrenched the whip from his wife's
hand as the latter struck her husband
a blow full in the face.
Gustave Pabst and Margaret Mather
were married in November, 1892, but
