GAVE HER A DECENT BURIAL
Notable Instance of Disinterested Be-
nevOlence at shawnee

Guthrie, o. T., Dec. 25.-The Shawnee
Quill gives an instance of charitable ac-
ton by some men in that city, in the
following report: Mrs. Sadie Keek came
to this city few days ago in delicate
condition, without money or friends. and
found employment at the Dewey restau-
rant on Broadway, but seemed to bemoan
her condition. On last Saturday she was
taken sick and died, and preparations
were made to bury the remains OF this
once happy young woman in the potters
field. Frank Chaplin, who is the pastry
cook at the English Kitchen and sleeps
at the Dewey restaurant during the day
hearing of the sad affair, said she could
not be buried in that way. He went to
Mr.. Castles undertaking rooms and or
dered them to give her decent burial
and he would foot the bill. George Tack
EFT, the undertaken. after hearing the sad
tale. helped Mr.. Chaplin to bear the ex~
pense. The woman was decentIy buried
by hands who didn OF even know her
name but were imbued with a Christian
spirit and, and II there ever was a heroic
or Christian act performed, this Is one"

Alva, O. T., Dec 25.-ChristmaS has
come to Alva again, and its finds the peo-
pie here and in the surrounding country
in better material shape and in better
spirits than any Christmas since the
opening in 1893. Our population has more
than doubled in the past year. and the
outlook for 1900 is better than ever be-
fore. The merchants have enjoyed the
largest trade they ever had The firm
OF S. B. Share & Bro. have had an i'm
mense trade, and to show the apprecia-
ton Of the services of their employees
they enclosed a five-dollar gold piece in
the envelope Saturday evening for each
one of the twenty clerks, making in all
500 in gold. This firm came here four
years ago and built a frame structure
2ixS0 feet, which they occupied for two
years, meeting with a fair degree Of suc-
cess. This building getting too small,
they sold it and built in the same block
a few doors south, a brick. 50xloo feet,
TO which they have since added 20 feet
more making a magnificent saIesroom Of
50x150 feet, stocked complete, with yearly
sales Of from 10000 up.
Among the other leading enterprising
business men ofAlva are: II. z. Noble,

"CAP" MASTERS0N is FOUND
He Left Oklahoma Two Years Ago
Under a Charge of Rape

Guthrie, O. T., Dec 25.-The Saltwater
Gazette announces that cap" Master
son, the ex-deputy sheriff of Payne coun-
ty, who jumped his bond and skipped two
years ago while under the charge of rape,
was located a few days ago by Sheriff
Annis. Masterson has been in Iowa for
some time and as soon as Sheriff Annis
had him located he at once teIegraphed
the authorities there to arrest and hold
him until a requistiUn could be procured.
Masterson has had a varied experience in
this country. He started in as a farmer,
bat afterWard drifted into the saloon
business. Five years ago, when Anterior
was elected sheriff of this county, Mas
terson secured a position as deputy.
When he lost that place he went into the
restaurant business in this city. 1t was
in this restaurant that the crime charged
against him was committed. On several
occasions he had spoken to a widow lady,
Mrs. McCrackin, about trading for her
farm three miles north of town. On Sum
day about two years. ago he met Mrs.
McCrackin upon the street and induced
her to go into his place on the pretext OF
getting more information about the place.
When once inside he securely locked the
door and despite her cries and efforts to
get away, accomplished his purpose. AS
soon as she was released she began
vigorous prosecution of the case against
him. He was arrested that afternoon,
but waived examination and his bail was
fixed by Probate Judge Basil at $500,
which he shortly afterwards gave, and
skinned for narts unknown The two
years that have elapsed since his escape
have wrought numerous changes in the
status of his case and now it is doubtful
whether he will be convicted. Mrs. Nc
Crackin has since married and left the
[ country and it is doubtful whether her
whereabouts can be ascertained.

Ell Reno. .. T, Dec. 25.-The jury in the
case of Anna Bowers Saturday returned
a verdict of guilty Of manslaughter in
the second degree. Miss Bowers was tried
on the charge Of numbering Merit Hickey
at Kingtisher last March, and was
brought here on a change Of venue from
Kingdsher county. The testimony of the
prosecution went TO establish the fact
that the defendant went TO the Office door
OF a livery stable, where Hickey wrked.
at 10 o clock at night. and called him out.
and almost Immediately after he stepped
out on the walk she fired a shot. the bail
striking him in the head and killing him
instantly. The defendant did not deny
the shooting. but the theory Of the de-
Tense was that as soon as Hickey stepped
our of the office ne struck the defendant
IN the head with his fist and she fell 70
her knees. and that he then attempted TO
wrench the pistol out OF her hand. and il
was discharged. killing Hickey. Two or
