Shawnee, Okla, Jan. IT,
The weather continues fine.
The improvements in the city
at this time are almost alto
gether in residences; but few
business houses are under con-
struction. One small house
has been built on the burned
district.
The health of the city is good.
Some of the boys that braveIy
faced the storms on the night
of the expected Indian uprising
contracted severe colds-suffi-
cient, they think. to entitle
them to a pension.
On the night of the fire all
was confusion. 1t was hard to
tell which was doing the great
er damage, the fire or those at
work. IS is the case in all
towns without water works.
there was no way of stopping
the fire except to tear the build
ing out of the path of the
flames. This was done with
ropes and cables, and in the
scrimmage a large frame build
ing was literally torn to splint-
ers.
The Ardmore boys employed
here hold some of the best posi-
tions in the city. Ii. C. Bennett
and Z. E. Heflin have places
with leading houses here.
Movers are coming in every
day. Will Shears and JEFF
Ross, from near Mannsville,
came in last week, and have
bought property and located in

Fort Smith, Jan. H. Henry
Starr, the notorious young
Cherokee outlaw, who FIVE
years ago led a gang in the In
dian country, was sentenced
by Judge Rogers of the United
court to fifteen years in the
penitentiary at Columbus, o.
seven years for the Pryor Creek
train robbery; five years for
the robbing of the express of
fee at Nowata, |. T.. and three
years for manslaughter.
Starr has been in Jail here
since 1898. having been cap
tured in Colorado just after the
Bentonville, Ark, bank rob-
berry, for which he was never
tried, that Being a state offense
over which the federal court
had no jurisdiction.
Since his arrest he has been
twice convicted of murder fol
the killing of Floyd Williams,
who was trying to arrest him.
Each time he was sentenced to
be hanged, but appealed to the
United States supreme court,
and secured new trial.
When arraigned the third
time he was allowed to enter a
plea of guilty to manslaughter.
He was scarce 20 years of age
when first put in Jail.

Guthrie, Ok, Jan. 17.-Offi-

governors Office today state
that the work of the mob in
burning the two Indians at
Maud is being thoroughly in
vestigated and many Of them
will be arrested within the next
few days.
1t is now practically certain
that not a single member of the
moi was a resident of Potta-
watomie county, or any part of
Oklahoma, and that it was com
posed largely of outlaws who
live in the Seminole and Chick
asaw nations. 1t is also known
that the Indian scare was start
ed by them by shooting, build
ing fires and sending messages
to people to flee for their lives.
Commissioner Fear, who is
conducting the investigation at
Wewoka, wires that everything
indicates that one of he In
dams burned was innocent.
The Seminole council is in ses-
sion and the members advise
the Indians to keep quiet and
allow the law to avenge their
wrongs.
