E DISTRESSING bereavement be,
,I1 fel the family of James II.
Akin early Monday morning. Strange,
the Oldest son, aged about thirteen,
arose and started a fire and then went
back up stairs and began playing with
pistol in company with his brother
couple of years younger, named
Uric. The pistol, small thirty-two
calibre, was known by the boys TO
have one cartridge but it had refused
TO fire after repeated attempts and so
the boys snapped" the weapon, pos
sibly at each other, several times.
Finally when Strange pointed it at
his brothers head and pulled the
trigger, the cartridge exploded and
the bullet entered near the temple and
came out through the top Of his head.
Without regaining consciousness the
little fellow died in short time. Mr..
Akin was absent at Claremore when
the misfortune occurred but was COM
munieated with and reached home
about aoon. The funeral took place
Tuesday afternoon at the Methodist
church and the expression of those
present told how deeply our people
sympathise with the stricken family
in their bereavement.

Thomas. Saturday, at his request,
some small United States flags, nc
large ones being at hand, were
brought into the court room and by
his directions proceedings ceased un-
til they could be put up. He stated
that so far as he was aware this was
the only United States court which
was held without flag being exhibit

one. The district attorney took Oc-
casion TO say that the contract for the
new court house, made at Washington
provided for flag.

"a circus deal; involving two of the
largest amusement enterprises in the
country, has just been consummated,
iu the combination of the interests OF
the well known Forepaugh show with
Sells Brothers enormous railroad
shows. The combination was effected
by James A. Baily, owner of the Fore
paugh show, who concluded arrange
ments with Messrs. Ephraim, Lewis
and Peter Sells. The consolidation
will make the new show one of the
largest in the world. The Forepaugh
show was founded nearly half cen

two greatest shows will be stupend-

the church there and at Redfork and
bore a good reputation. He was in
the mercantile business at the latter
place and it will be remembered that
he distinguished himself by defending
his store against the Green brothers
a year or two ago when they attempt
ed to hold him up and rob the store
On that occasion he severely wounded
one of the Greens and drove them
away single handed and alone, being
wounded himself in the fight. While
he proved himself able to defend him
self against the onslaught of band
of outlaws, he was evidently not able
to withstand the wiles of a pretty but
naughty woman. The woman is said
