The town of Yukon was aroused on
Wednesday morning, by the arrival on
hand car, Of the dead body of Jim
Davis, who was murdered by w. II.
Draper, who lives about a mile from
town.
The story of the killing is about as
follows: Davis was a section hand on
the Choctaw railroad, and in company
with the section foreman and two 9th
er hands, left the Yukon station at
seven o'clock Wednesday morning to do
some work on the track. At about
7:30 o'clock Draper came to the place
where the men were working and ask
ed Davis IL he had made use of certain
remarks he had heard. Davis replied
that he did. Draper then pulled out a
knife and stabbed Davis, killing him
instantly. Davis is the father of three
little children, his wife having been
dead some time.
Draper is u bachelor and is about &C
years old. He is well fixed finaucially,
owning a fine farm, well stocked with
cattle, horses and hogs.
Draper waived examination and is
now confined in e Reno Jail to await
the action of the grand jury. He does
not seem to realize the enormity oi
the crime he has committed.

THETERRITORIES.
Late Happenings of More Than
Ordinary Interest.
On the Repor, Of Governor Barnes.


The report OF Governor Barnes for
the fiscal year ending June 30, is a
most Rratifyin ing statement. 1t shows
remarkable progress in the develop
ment of this resourceful territory,
which but few years ago was thrown
open to the people of the United
States for cultivation. The population
has increased Is per cent in two years,
which have been remarkable through
out the country for stationary popula-
tion, except in the newest and most
enterprising centers. The aggregate
wealth of the territory is surprisingly
large, considering the brief period that
has been required to accu mulate it.
Business interests of various kinds
make a good showing, and the educa-
tional facilities already employed and
those provided for in the liberal school
fund sysue IN indicate that the territory
is to take high rank educationally. In
1897 Oklahoma raised Is, 600, 900 bushels
of wheat, l40, 900 bales of cotton and
an enormous crop of corn, the last
named product not being estimated for
the reason that so large portion OF 1t
was fed to cattle and hogs and not
nj arketed in the usual way. There are
in the territory at present 03,o0i
horses, 3s,s37 mules, 775, 900 cattle,
25s, 600 hogs and $4,000 sheep. 1t will
be seen, therefore, that the soil re-
sources, which are among the richest
in the world, have been rapidly cult
vated and that Oklahoma territory Is
already great, wealthy, orderly and
settled community. Most of the peo'
pie of this new territory are native
born Americans. They are thrifty
and enterprising. They are alive to
the advantages of soil and geographical
location. They are figuring largely
in the making of the greater west, an
an EN- oire that will reach it's fortune
with the opening of gulf ports for the
receipt and shipment OF the agricutu'
raj products of the plains. There's
nothing the mater with Oklahoma.

Rough Riders Returned

NewbirlS Republicans: Ira Hill and
Frank Weilzel, rough riders, returned
to Newkirk last Saturday evening, and
were glad to get home again. They
have their discharge papers and say
all of the rough riders are ordered
musi cred out, although some of those
on turlough have not received of
fetal notice of it. Deck Amrine has
received none, Ira Hill says he was
with Starr Wetmore the night before
he left for Newkirk, and that Starr
was in the hospital at Camp Wikoff,
Rhode Island, slowly recovering from
his wound and will be ready to come
home in about four weeks. He is
wounded in the left leg and told Ira
that he expected to be slightly lame
the rest of his life.
A. III. Denham, another rough rider,
passed through town on the train this
week on his way home at Oklahoma
City. He was wounded in Cuba and
had to use crutches in walking.

PRACTICAL KINDNESS.
One Hundred Thousand Grateful Soil
diers.

These war times have tried mems souls
in many unexpected ways, but like a shaft
Of sunshine and good cheer out Of the cloud
of privation and endurance has been the
work that The American Tobacco Co. has
done among the U. S. Soldiers and Sailors
ever since the war began-for when they
discovered that the cTmps and hospitals
were not supplied with tobacco they de-
cided to provide them, free of cost, with
enough for every man, and have already
given outright to our Soldiers and Sailors
over one hundred thousand pounds Of BAT
Az Plug" and Dukes Mixture" Smoking
Tobacco and have bought and distributed
fifty thousand briar wood pipes at total
cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dol
lars.
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly, by establishing headquarters
in each camp, so that every camp and ever;
hospital of the United States Army his
been supplied with enough tobacco fa-
every man and the sailors on thirty
United States Ships in Cuban waters have
shared with the soldiers this most welcome
of all "rations."
Perhaps it will be only fair to remember
when we hear the remark again that
corporations have no SOULS" that there
is one American corporation whose soul

Orders were this week received at
Fort Reno to get the post hospital in
shape to receive number of wounded
and sick soldiers who have been doing
duty in Santiago. This is the health
lest post in the United States and a
few weeks there will bring back the
men to their old form.
Charles E. Gallup and Charles NJ.
Naudain, troop Is first cavalry, and
Albert Il. Swift, company ii, tenth
infantry, are at Fort Reno from Mon
taulS point. The men were all wound
ed ia the battles before Santiago and
are glad TO get back to Fort Reno. In
reply TO a question relating to the
treatment they received at Montauk
Point, they said they were treated ali
right. Where so many men needed at
tention il was not 10 be expected that
they should receive special treatment.
All of the regulars who have returned
from Santiago tell the same story.
