DON'T BE TOO GEN EROUS
The Water Works Builders
Asking a Heap.

We don't believe the people Of
Vinita are in favor of giving or
selling the important franchises OF
the town for life period under
any conditions. What invention
and the general progress Of the
world will give US within the next
fifty or one hundred years, is be-
yond the ken of man to tell.
Twenty five years ago horse cars
were the shot stuff" and Chicago
jumped in and granted long time
franchise to the horse car COM
panies and it cost the city ten
times the worth ofthe franchise to
get the horse cars out of the way
of the electric ana trolley lines.
Dom. tie up the interests of the
town for any great length of time.
If you do your children will have
to pay the bills and stand the ex-
pense Of indorslng your foolish
ness. 1t is barely possible these
SO year men nor these 30 year
men, will not live out the time,
tho they no doubt think they will.
We will say, however, that the
people who put their money into
an artesian well, or into water
works for the town of Vinita ought
to be fully protected by ordinance
granting reasonable time in
which to make their money with
reasonable interest out of the en-
terprise. Men are not going to
invest without some protection,
but when the town has secured
them sufficiently there is the time
to stop, and don't tie the city up
in lifelong franchises.

FIRE WOOD.
No Restriction Against the
Citizen Cutting His Own.

Our understanding relative TO
cutting timber for stove and fire
wood from the Cherokee public
domain by citizens, is that while
there seems to be no
provision for it, no prosecu-
tions will follow. Any citizen of
the Cherokee nation who owns
timber lands may safely sell to the
people Of the town all the wood
be desires, or be may dispose Of
his timber fuel to non-citizens who
desire to engage in cutting and
hauling to town or elsewhere.

up from Muskogee yesterday morning.
In passing from one coach to another
the porter slammed the door on his

wound is a very painful one, though
only about half an inch was cut off.

being accessory to the principal is a

what Judge Ewart is reported here as

it or carrying material to it or the pro-

\ PENITEN TlARY CRIME
OBTAINED MONEY IN RALEIGH
LAST WEEK.
HE ASKED AID FOR Mr.. coLcLouGR
Mr.. Colclough Writes Letter in Which He De-
nounces Roycroft as Fraud and Says
He is Collecting The Money
For His Own Use.

Last week there was young man
in Raleigh, Ed. Roycroft by name solic-
iting assistance for C. C. Colclough, a
merchant and mill man in Durham coun-
ty. He said Colclough had lost by
fire all he had in the world. In PROOF
of this he showed a subscription list
supporting to be signed by Colclough's
friends and neighbors and others, some
contributing various amounts.
While here Roycroft collected a consid-
cradle amount. All the officials in the
court house, for instance, were called
ON and contributed. But suspecting
that there was something wrong with
Roycfoft and his mission, Mr.. a. NJ.
Adams. deputy clerk in the register of
deeds office, wrote to Mr.. j.. +. Chand-
Ter. lieighbor of Mr.. Colclough's.
Yesterday a reply was received to the
letter and was as follows:
Danton, Y. G., Dec. y, 1899.
Dir. A. NJ. Adams, Raleigh, N. c.
Dear Sir: | am now at Mr. Col
clough's house and have had an inter
view with him relative to Ed. Roycroft,
the young man who was in Raleigh
Wednesday last with a subscription,
asking for money for Mr.. Colclough.
Mr. Golclough informs me that he did
not solicit or ask Roycroft to do any
such thing for him, and would not have
thought of it. as he looks on him as a
dangerous fellow, and a low-down
scoundrel. He is looked upon by all OF
the citizens in this community as N
,-o,xv lnx-. .lnx,,,, no, :, onJ tba4 ba Shnurt
be speedily apprehended and dealt with
az the law directs in such cases. He
is not a citizen of this county and lives
in Person county. at or near Timber
lake. Attend to him and have him
brought to justice. All Of the names
that he has on his subscription are
forged, and he is getting money for his
own use. He has not been here to turn
over the money that he has received
from the court house officials.
Respectfully,
j. r. CHANDLER.
Mr.. Adams: / certify that the above
statement Of Mr.. Chandler is correct.
and Roycroft should be punished to the
full extent of the law and / will testify
against him when called on.
G. c. COLCLOUGH.
1t will be seen from the above that
Roycroft has been obtaining money I'M
der false pretense. which is peniten-
tiary crime. In fact, only two weeks
ago white man was brought here
to the penitentiary from Johnston coun-
ty, having been convicted Of exactly
the fraud that Roycroft has practiced,
except that he solicited the funds for
himself, claiming that he had been
burned out. when as matter Of fact
he had not had a dollars worth of
anything burned.
1t is not known where Roycroft went
from here, but it is supposed he is now
in some other county soliciting aid for
Mr.. Colclough,' or some one else.
