nifty Of the law should be upheld,
and the government Of the United
States is back of it and it can be
upheld. 1t ought to be beneath
the dignity of an officer of the Uni
States to say that the law cannot
be enforced, and it is a stigma and
SANDER upon Indian Territory
manhood to say that grand juries
in certain sections have no regard
for their oaths.
The law may be oppressive and
wrong in principle, but it is the
law just the same and ought to be
upheld, and when an officer don't
feel that he can do his duty be
ought to resign. Away with the
thought that it is not possible to
enforce the law in the Indian Ter
ritory, or anywhere else where the
stars and stripes have ever gone.

MIST RESOLUTION.
Baptist Congregation at BartIesviIIe
Pass Resolutions.

We, the members of the Baptist
church at Bartlesville, |. T., as
sembled in business meeting at
said church, on the evening of
Aug. 29th, 1899, do hereby pass
the following resolutions:
Resolved: That it is the sense of
this meeting that a malt liquor
called "Mist" and various other
names put up in beer bottles and
the same packed in barrels is in
toxicating, and the places where
the said liquor is sold are nuisanc-
es TO the community. That said
liquor is sold by bottle and in
glasses in the pool room in this
town, and in various joints in 9TH
er towns and cities of the Indian
Territory. That the liquor called
mist" is very similar to hop tonic
and Manila tonic, the sale of which
with all other malt liquors was
prohibited by the decision of the
Appellate Court of the Indian Ter
ritory this summer. In fact, we
have the testimony of one of the
local dealers as to the similarity
between the above named bev-
erages.
Resolved: That the sale of
liquor called Mist is a violation of
the above decision of the Appel
late Court. That the sale OF said
liquor should be stopped and the
dealers punished, and that same
could be done if the United States
authorities, especially those in the
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1899-09-07

Indian Territory were aware Of the
facts in the case and would dill
gently do their duty. That after
the rendering of the decision of
the said court regarding malt
liquors,peace and sObriety reigned,
but now being somewhat changed
to disorder and drunkenness, espe-
ciaily in this community.
Believing it to be the duty Of all
good Christians to fight this and
the attendant evils, We ask the aid
of all Christians and believers in
temperance or total abstinence OF
any and all denominations to aid
US in crushing out this evil from
the indian Territory in whatever
way they see fit, and would sug-
gest that they use their influence
with and expose the traffic, to the
authorities OF the Indian Territory
and leading men of the nation.
Believing also that with the
present laws in force the liquor
traffic can be suppressed easier in
the Indian Territory than any
other place in the United States,
we implore all temperance unions,
societies and periodicals to use
their influence in having these
laws enforced.
Resolved: That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the head
men of the nations, we believing
from the laws prohibiting liquor
being sold in the Indian Territory
and to Indians, said laws being
made by United States Congress
and signed by the President, that
it was and is their intention to
keep this cursed evil away from
their wards.
Resolved: That the Bartlesville
Magnet be asked to print these
resolutions in their next publica-
tion and extra copies be secured to
send to those ministers whose ad-
dresses can be secured living in
Indian Territory communities in
which intoxicating beverages are
sold, also the authorities and off,
cials in said Territory.

SPILLED THEIR WHISKEY.
A Story of Twenty Years
Ago.

The prohibitory laws against
the introduction and sale of intox-
icants in the Indian Territory has
been the cause OF many a funny
escapade. and caused the citizens
of this country to resort to many
an ingenious device to get whis-
key for "home consumption" A
! great many good citizens who nev-
er sold drop of liquor in their
lives were frequently put to troub-
BILE and expense by the United
States deputy marshals who
watched and dogged the footsteps
of Cherokees who had occasion to
visit the neighbcring towns along
the line. Judge 7. NJ. Burlington
told a story the other day Of his
experience about 20 years ago in
trying to get from Southwest City
with few gallons for himself and
neighbors that, at this date is of
interest. Burlington and Jim Car
selOwey went to Southwest City
few days before Christmas to pur-
chase flour and other articles that
could be purchased cheaper there
than here. Among the articles
several sacks of bran for feed were
bought and the jugs of whiskey
placed among the sacks to save
breakage. When they reached
Cowskin prairie on the Cherokee
side they were Overtaken by a
well known deputy marshal for
the Fort Smith court who insisted
on searching the wagon. Buffing-
ton stood him off with revolver
while Carselowey broke the jugs
and spilled the whiskey, so when
the officer finally went through the
wagon he found nothing but the
smell of whiskey.
When they reached home a
number of their neighbOrs were on
hand waiting for their return and
were much disappointed at the
state of affairs, but to make most
of bad matter, pressed the liquor
out OF the bran, and apparently
not a drop had been lost, all
had been absorbed. They OBJ
tanned enough for a good sized jag
tor the whole party.

AS TO THE SMALLPOX.
Only One Case and That
ConVaIeSent.

The report was sent out last
week by designing persons that
there were several cases of small
pox in Vinita. The story Is abso-
lutely false and entirely without
foundation. There has never been
but one case and the man why had
it is now convalescent. The Chief
tain determined for itself at the
first that it would report the ex-
act truth from time to time,
and should the disease spread
would promptly give the whole
story. There has been nothing
kept back, and the statement
made herewith by the physician
in charge should be sufficient to
satisfy all.
Ed. CHIEFTAIN:-In reply to
your query about the small pox,
| beg to say that there is on
ly one case of small pox here, and
that so far l have no reason to fear
any further outbreak. The dis
ease is under control and quaran-
tine strictly enforced under my
personal supervision. There is no
reason why strangers shouln't
come here. The only case | have
on hand is now convalescent.

Full particulars OF the killing OF
Jim Hampton by Buff Wyly at Table
quah Saturday evening, have been re.
ceIyed and WHY seems to have been
fully justified in the act. Hampton
was a nephew Of the late Ned Christie
and was considered bad man, besides
his acts at the time OF the killing
warranted young Wyly in shooting
him. He snatched WHY'S pistol
from his belt and fired at him, evil

PARKER'S APOLOGY.
The Assistant Attorney Defends the
Non-Enforcement of the Law.

To the editor of the Chieftain:
The report circulated here yes
terday and published by you last
night that intoxicating liquor was
on sale at Fairland was wholly
without foundation. There was
not the slightest evidence OF intox-
ication either upon the streets or
at the grounds. A splendid pros
porous, law-abiding people were
there and they had a good time
without, as some people think in
dispensable, the assistance of in.
toxicating liquors. The town au-
thorities, and the United States
marshal's Office were well repre-
sented, and if there had been any
thing OF the kind going on, it
would have been promptly report
ed. Private individuals may have
procured some for their own use,
but none was sold or offered for
sale. | think it is due TO the town
of Fairland, and to the officers of
the law who efficiently performed
their duty to make this cOntradic-
tion public. Respectfully,
L. F. PARKER,
Asst. U. S. Attorney.
In addition to the above Mr..
Parker states that he is aware that
mist and other intoxicants are be-
ing dispensed at Wagner and
Muskogee and other points in the
northern district, but that the fault
lies wholly at the door of the
grand juries of the country who re-
fuse to indict people at Muskogee
for the sale of liquor. He states
further that the courts cannot pros
ecute or prevent the sale IF liquor
unless the grand juries will act.
If this be true We would like to
ask by what authority the prose
cutting attorney for the northern
district went to the depot in this
city a few weeks ago and instruct
ed his deputies to break the heads
and spill the contents of two kegs
of beer shipped in for private use.
Where, oh where was the grand |
jury on that warm July day when !
Mr.. Soper was seized with such |
an over-weening desire to enforce
the law, and to lay strong hand |
upon even the railroads to prevent
its introduction?
To jump up now and make the
statements Mr.. Parker makes
when it is known all over the
country that mist and other intox-
icants are being sold openly and
without let or hindrance, at Wag-
oner, MuskOgee and elsewhere, is
unusual and preposterous.
Coming down to the facts, and
the real situation, we say the dig

Host Welcome Callers.

Fathers Rene, of Juneau, and Bougis, of this city, were most welcome callers to our office last Thursday afternoon Father Rene recently returned from a trip to Dawson and Cape Nome, whith- CT he had gone in the interest of the missionary work of his church. He spent day at Cape Nome and confirms all the good reports that have reached us concerning that district. He thinks Cape Nome will become one of the great mining camps of the world and rejoices that it is located on the Amer ican side. The trip was pleasant one for Father Rene and he thinks all those who can should made the trip into the interior.
 We are more than pleased to have these two christian gentlemen honor the News with visit. Our latch string always hangs out for members of the queen of all professions.

OUR FEROcIoUs CAPTAIN.
Left Very SuddenIy--MournfuIC ICreditors--GoinG 2
 To Offer His Services To Daddy Kruger.
HIS PHOTOGRAPH A GEM.

Capt. Phelps, the captain of Company c. of the National Guards of this city, skipped out last week and left numer- ous creditors to mourn his nasty and unexpected departure. The Captain sent his family to Seattle on the last trip of the Cottage City, but stated to his friends that he intended to remain. He was chosen the first officer of the company when it organized and this unseemly conduct will no doubt do the organization much harm. He wrote a note to a friend in this city, from Ju- neau, in which he said he was going to Snettisham, but he no doubt intended to go. and did go to Seattle. We have good reasons for believing that he in tended to go to Seattle as soon as his family had left. The Captain had his picture taken a short time ago, in new military suit. It was a charm ing portrait we are told. No doubt the negative has been preserved-we hope so.
 Since the above was put in type, we learn from one of the friends of the captain that he became very much in censed over the manner in which the British were treating the people of the TransvaaI, and that he probably left so suddenly on account of wanting to get a steam ship sailing from New York for Africa, whose date for departure was near. It is said that our ferocious and fighting captain some time ago con cluded to offer his services to Daddy Kruger.

A Solemn Warning.

According to Dr. J. T. Boyd, an Indi- ana preacher and M. D., the world will come to an end on the 11th of next month. We make mention of this mat ter so that none on Douglas Island can plead or claim a want of notice. De- linuuent subscribers, of whom we have but seven, are especially warned to pay up before that time, and those who re- fuse to patronize the News because they are ''agin" the paper and the edit or. better repent at once. This thing of the world coming to an end is seri- ous matter. It hasn't happened for some time and some of the sausage GOV CTS that think they are fighting the News will have trouble in getting through the pearly gates. According to Dr. Boyd those who believe in the Lord will be removed before His sec. ond coming, and the chances are that we will not be here to see many of you shift off on the 11th of November, and we therefore take this opportunity of thanking our friends for patronage and good wishes and damning our enemies for trying to harm us.
