wBAr THEY THINK.
Views OF some Of the People ON the New
Territory BIII-0eaersIy FsvOrs-
bIe TO the Proposed Measure

The ARDMoREITE pilgrim made
a short tour around the town this
morning and gathered few more
expressions of opinion on the new
Territory bill, which follow:
Charles Miner Il don't see
much to commend in the bill. 1t
doesn't say just what we may ex-
pect. I'd like to know what these
lots will cost us.
w. s. Wolverton-Don't like
the bill much. The Indian can't
sell his land. This thing of town
government Cat this juneture
a big town sow sneaked up to a
bucket of potatoes and stole the
largest one in the lot Oh, for a
town government If it will sup
press that nuisance, give it to us
at once-Curtis bill or any thing
else.
r. w Dick-Yes. I've read the
bill, and l suppose it's all right.
I'm like the man who, while being
beaten to shreds by cyclone, was
heard praying for an earthquake,
and when asked to explain such a
proceeding said: Il was anxious
for a change of any kind"
Nj. Wheeler-It seems to me
that the measure is a start in the
right direction. It's not perfected
yet, l think, but l am anxious to
see it go through at the earliest
moment.
j. s. B. Apollos-It's a fair
bill. | think; and l believe it will
do us good here. 1t will, of course.
be changed somewhat, but a law
along the line blazed out by Mr..
Curtis will be acceptable.
G. w. Stuart-Have read that
portion of the bill which affects
me, and fail to see anything to
object to seriously. Believe il
will help us.
The ARDMoREITE solicits brief
expressions of opinion regarding
the Curtis bill, and will gladly give
space to them.

HAS A WORD TO SAY.
Judge Townsend Speaks Briefly ca
Questions In which Considerable
Interest Is Takea.

The reproduction in some of
the Territory papers of an inter
view with Judge Townsend.
which appeared in the Denver
papers recently, has created
considerable discussion among
the people here. In order to
find if the statements accredited
to him were true ard at the
same time afford him an oppor-
tunity of righting any erron-
eous impression that might
have been made by a too hasty
reading of the article in ques-
ton. an ARDMoREITE represen-
tative called on Judge Town
send this morning and asked
him if he had anything to say
on the subject. In reply he
said:
my interviews in the Denver
papers are in the main correct.
My statements were to the eff
feet that no public schools ex-
listed and that. if this condition
continued. the coming genera
ton would be the most illiterate
in the whole country and that
an imperative necessity existed
for the government to enact
some legislation that would
speedily cure this great evil"
DO you not think that the
Curtis bill will provide some
relief in this line, judgel" was
asked.
Upon an examination of the
Curtis BILL" said Judge Town
send, Il find that while the
townsite clause provides for
public schools in towns and
cities, no provision is inserted,
nor is there any plan evolved,
to establish and maintain pub.
lie schools in the rural districts
where the greatest necessity
exists. The bill, in its present
shape, does not meet the re.
quirements of the situation"

Graham School House VIII Be Rebuilt.
Several members of the Ora
ham community are in town to-
day. j. A. Drury and Prot. G..
A. Mutt were two who called at
the ARDMoREITE office. In
speaking of the burning of the
school house at that place on
the 18th inst, an account of
which appeared in the ARD
MoREITE at the time, they said
the building was used as a
church honse and schoolroom
below. the upper story being
used by the Masonic fraternity
and the Odd Fellows, both of
which orders lost all of their
paraphernalia. These gentle
men stated that while the house
was yet burning a subscription
list was opened and in a few
minutes $240 was raised, and
by Friday following this was
increased $100 more. A num-
Der of wagons were at once
started to town for lumber, and
each man was an authorized
committee to solicit funds for
rebuilding. In this way the
sum of $3.50 was raised. The
people of that community pro-
pose to erect a larger and more
comfortable building than the
one recently destroyed.

The wharf at the landing cor
ner of Mill and Main streets

necessitated by the high water
at that point.
The work of filing up the
bog hole at the intersection OF

successfully completed.
A plank walk and stepping
stones are being put across
Broadway between the Chicka-
saw lumber yard and the pro
tenn court house. This is a val

dreds who cross there.
One of the incest streets in
Ardmore was Broadway. But
"how have the mighty fallenl''
Since converting it into a cot
ton yard it has become neces
sary to do a lot of filling In on
this street. This work is now
in progress and the material
used is the scapings and litter
of wagon yards-verily a hogs
paradise.

The PuIIIam ShootInn.

The shooting of Bud Pulliam
yesterday by a negro near OF
terville was the talk of the town
last evening and again this
morning.
Later, however, definite in
formation served to clear mat
ters somewhat and allay the ex-
citement to a great extent.
Bud Pulliam was securing
some cotton to be applied on 3
debt due VIM. Keller, for whom
be was working. Four negroes
were present and, with one ex-
ception, objected to the removal
of the cotton until they received
their pay for picking it. Words
engendered words more bitter,
until finally guns were drawn
and Pulliam received a bullet
through the left wrist which
shattered the bone.
Another entered just below
the right nipple and ranged
around to the back. AS he fell
two of the negroes, who are
now in jail, jumped on him and
held him, at the same time eau
tioning the other negro, jim
billiard, who was doing the
shooting, to desist. Pulliam is
said to have shot at billiard, the
bullet just grazing his head.
AS stated yesterday, the off,
GERS at once got on the scene
but the enemy had fed.
The wounded man was
brought here today and is nov
resting easily at the home oi
his brother, A. S. Pulliam. The
physicians cut out the bullef
after he got here, and we are
informed the wounds are not 81
dangerous as at first supposed
Some of the officers took the
trail of the negroes and followed
them all night. About dayllgh
this morning Deputy Stewar
rounded in r. Mckee and Dep
uty John Hammer got Lindsay
billiard, brother to the one whC
did the shooting, at the home
of his father near the mouth o.
Caddo. The men were brough
here and placed in jail. 1t i
expected that Jim billiard viii
surrender in a day or so.
