The wonderful strides OF develop
ment in Oklahoma and Indian Territor-
les during the past three years, and the
rapid advancement OF civilization and
Christianity in those territories during
that time, leave the outlaw no longer a
resting place on this continent.
Beautiful cities, rich valleys and the
rolling prairies Of that country now
teeming with an industrious and enter
prising class of people take the place
where such bands were roaming at win
only few short years ago. The peo-
pie of that territory have as little to fear
from any further outrages from such n
source as those in the east, and suca is
the result of favorable legislation,
backed up by the courage, push and en-
terprise of the American people.

night. The death occurred at the
home of his brother.in-law, Mr.. f. M.
Davis about two miles out in the
country The particulars of The trag-
edy received so far are meager. Mr..
Davis states THAI soon after dark he
staggered into the house with his
head and face badly bruised. When
asked what was the matter he an
swered: "That other fellow hit me-
To other questions he simply re-
piled; "He hit me with anything he
could lay his hands on" Immediately
afterward he sank into stupor, from
which he was never aroused. The at
tending physician states that death
was produced by rupture of blood
vessels in the brain, caused by a blow
on the side of the head with some fiat
object, presumably board. Justice
of the Peace j. P. Higgins has gone
out to hold the inquest, during which
1t is supposed thai other facts con-
necIcd with the tragedy will come to
light.

places where luor was being sold in
violation ofWhe local option law.

DALLAS, Tex, Feb. MARK Bes-
sard. bachelor As years of age, shot
himself at his residence, No. 225
Cantegral street, few minutes before
noon Wednesday. The affair came in
the way of very painful and unex-
pected surprise to all who knew him.
Save an intlmatiCn to his brother,
Adolph Bessard, a few days ago, that
his personal affairs were not doing to
TO suit him, there had been nothing
to indicate that he had more than his
share of mans troubles. file was n
member OF the firm of Madison and

Pacific avenue, and was rated as a
Well-to-do business man, one who
knew his calling thoroughly and could
be depended upon to attend strictly
TO his duties. lie arose at his usual
hour Wednesday morning and after
breakiasting went to his mill, where
he stent an hour or two attending to
the routine work of the office. His
associates and the employees about the
mill noticed nothing unusual about
his appearance. He was always IL
tlifle melancholy, but this air did not
seem exaggerated in the least Be-
fore IL o'clock he left the mills, and
upon returning to his residence
went immediately to his room. His
housekeeper paid little attention to
his actions aud suspected nothing un-
til she heard the mufiled report of n
revolver. He had gone into his room,
closing the door. People in the i'm
mediate neighborhood heard the shot
and i'll Il very rev minulesa crowd had
collected. One OF the first parties to
reach the room said that Bessard was
alive but unconscious when he arrived
and died in few minutes, the bullet
having plowed its way through his
his brain.

A Cold Plunge.

WACO, Tex, Feb. S.-James Doher-
ty, recently from Fort Worth, now
employed in a dairy in Waco, started
over the Brazos river last night on the
Cotton Belt railway bridge, aud find
ing that switch engine was about to
overtake him, he called through the
parapet and stood on the end of a
sleeper which was slippery with sleet.
The jar of the locomotive caused him
to slip and down he went into the
swollen river, in which drift was
floating in masses. 1t was forty feet
fall and Doherty sank deep, but
rose and swan out safely. When he
fell he cut cash in his head by strik-
ing against the sleeper. Otherwise
he is all right and the cash is not
serious. He made remarkable swim
in the dark, going mile swiftly with
the rushing current aud crawied out
by clingins to the willows on the steep
and slippery shore.

find of a pot of Mexican gold, amount
ing to large sum. The place where
it is claimed to have been dug up is n
deep hollow on the w. B. Taylor
farm. The secret seems to have been
with the owner of the farm and two
other men, who, with two negroes to
dig for them, worked a part of two
nights, but on the next night all OF
them did not appear, but it happened
that somebody had been there, and,
from signs left took the gold. One
of the three was at once suspected
and was called upon to give an ac-
count of it, but refused TO do so. One
of the negro claims to have seen the
vessel taken out, and afterward hid
Others are at work on it now and in
teresting results are looked for. The
amount is believed to be $4,000.

WALKING MADE EASY.
An Invention Which Does Away with
Half the Fatigue.

An Invention Which Does Away with
Half the Fatigue.
A spring heel attachment for shoes
to aid in walking is one of the latest de,
vices for the comfort of pedestrians
says the New York journal.
With this attachment the effort OF
lifting ones foot is practically reduced
to minimum. The spring actually lifts
the foot, and the pedestrian does the
rest
DR.. George E. Sewan is the inventor
and patentee of this curious device
which is nothing but a stiff strip of
steel about an inch in width and some
three inches long. 1t lis first bent double
and one end turned upward over the
other end, so as to fit it closely to the
edge of the heel of the shoe.
The spring Is screwed to the heel OF
any ordinary shoe, and once in place, IL
gives spring" to the step, which is OF
great assistance in walking or running
The idea is taken from the natural ac-
ton of the muscles of the foot, which
