Assassinated.

The story that John Morrison, Il
farmer and stock trader living near
Mustang creek, had been murdered in
the Spavinaw country has been cur
rent on the streets here, and the talk
OF the country round abJut for fort
night
The circumstances leading up to
what is thought TO be the murder Of
Morrison cate back for a period of
something like two years. The infor-
nation is that kind of Ke-too-wah
for the purpose of stealing and dis
posing of stock was organized with 4
membership of about fifty, who were
sworn to secrecy and with the regula-
tion death penalty for violation of any
OF the rules. The constant and whole
sale stealing of cattle, hogs and horses
became notorious. Cattle were driven
out and sold in droyeS. AT list the
officers determined to break il up and
made number of arrests, and Morri-
ell W elS uSNh dS buC mann
witness. Five or six of the Wickliffs
were arrested and sent TO Jail at Mus
kogee in default of bail, chiefly upon
Morrison's testimony. That the Or
ganization had determined to kill
John Morrison was generally believed, !
and it is said his friends warned him
to stay away from that section of
country where the depredations had
been carried on, and where the men,
bers lived. The last time deceased
was seen alive was some two weeks
ago, late one afternoon, at the home
of Cherokee named Jim Lacy. from
whence he started across the hills to
a place four or five miles away for the
purpose of buying some hogs. The
horse ridden by Morrison was found
loose with the saddle on somewhere
in the same neighbOrhood, and the re-
port now is that the body was found
near the Muskrat spring, between
Drowning creek and Brushy creek, ten
Dr twelve miles northeast of folens

Died in New Mexico.

Joe McSpadden died Thursday last
at some springs eighteen miles from
Albuquerque, \. NJ, Of consumption,
a disease which manifested itself in
his case eighteen years ago. Two
months ago he went TO New Mexico
and up TO a short time before his
death appeared to be doing very well,
and his son, Booth, came home. In
response to d dispatch stating that
the sick man was falling, Mrs. Nc
Spadden went out, but arrived the
day after he died. The remains were
brought home for burial, passing
through here Tuesday, and the funeral
took place yesterday at Chelsea,
Brother Butler, of Vinita, officiating.
There are seven children in the fam
lily, the two eldest nearly grown. The
family have u fine farm just out of
Chelsea and are quite well provided

cannot marry an Indian girl for the
sole purpose of obtaining a right

Tuesday, refused to allow George

About the biggest burlesque in
the way of baseball aggregation
that has haunted the hearts OF the
festive fans of Muskogee, was the
faced, lanky-limbed male
impersonators, who sail under the
nom de guerre of the Boston Bloom
ers, and who attempted to enter
tain an audience of 600 people, a
majority of whom were ladies,
with very stale quality of base
ball on last Friday. While mel
lie Bly," the pitcher, was respon-
sible tor the home boys defeat in
score of IL to 8, she presented
somewhat varigated assortment of
pretzel-tinged twisters that almost
gave the batters spinal meningitis
in their attempt to fan the air. In
fact, it was about the hardest out
fit OF barn stormers that has visi-
ted Muskogee in many day, and
we vouch the assertion that more
thoroughly disgusted audience
could not be found, when the game
was over.
A very amusing incident hap
pened Monday last which would
have been a treat for any one to
witness. About year and half
ago live alligator of a length of s
inches and which was kept on ex-
hibition at Muskogee, was placed |
in the large pond of water in the
north part of town near Mr.. Bells
plumbing shop, and of which MOTH
ing has been seen since, it being |
that the cold weather
had killed it, but last Monday az .
Lernoon while two little colored .
boys were wading around, the ALI
gator, now grown to a size of about
.hree feet, came to the top of the
water and captured a live duck
swimming around i'm the water
levouring it at once, and then gave
,hase to the little darkies, who
when last seen were breaking for !
he hills at a rapid speed. The
light was laughable and Mr.. Bells
ays that not another darkey boy /
las been near the place since. {

Failure of Grain and Fruits.

This season seems TO be unfortunate
in its failure to mature and ripen
grain and fruit. The fine wheat pros
pect of two weeks ago was rudely de-
stroyed by the rust and chinch bugs
blasting and running the crop after
heading out. The oat crop is greatly
injured by rust. The peaches are ill
wormy aud the apples are falling Of
the trees. The splendid prospect for
an abundant yield of grapes now seems
about to be destroyed by black rot,
and so failure seems TO be the rule ali
the way around.
