This thing Of robbing the
poor, unsophisticated white
man of the Indian Territory Is
an outrage, isn't it! He came
here for the sole purpose Of
beneftting those willy Indians.
and now they try to rob him.
It's awful! fearful! outrag-
eous!!! Indeed it is. If the
poor fellow doesn't get justice
in this world, he viii in the
next, because he'll settle right
down on that potato patch that
the Indian will have outside the
present mundane sphere. He
couldn't keep off OF it to save
his neck, as soon as he found it
belonged to the Indians. TiSh-

During the rainstorm Mon
day afternoon lightning struck
the electric light wire in front
of the postofhce and entered
the building, throwing out
binding flashes The telephone
in the bookstore was burned
out entirely by the flash. At
Brown Bros lunchstand the
lights chanced to be turned on
and for some time the building
was brilliantly Illuminated by
the fluid that came in oyer the
wires. The ooys say it makes
a fine light, but they prefer
something less brilliant and
more easily handled. Purcell
