SLIGHTLY MIXED.

An Oklahoma editor, whose resi-
dence is situated between Method
ist church and a dance hall, sat on
the verandah at his home one even
ing recently and took in the situa-
ton. Prayer meeting was going on
at the church and a dance in prog
ress at the hall. The proceedings.
as he could catch them, were about
as follows: Let us pray-all salute
we beseech thee to-join hands
and draw near-circle to the left
listen to us first couple forward
and back-as we-all promenade
kneel before thee and-balance all
present our petition--grand right
and left-for Christs sake seat
your partners. II is said that the
situation shocked the pious editor
to such an extent that he shook the
ungodly dust of Oklahoma from off
his feet and pulled his freight" fer
the truly moral Indian territory.

"On gaining the outside of the
prison walls tower guards called
on Blalock and Pound to halt aud
they opened fire on them when they
refused. Eight shots were fired
and each man was hit and fell
twice.
