AN HISTORICAL STORY.
Cherokees Held TO be of Egyptian
Origin.

Mr.. John B. Dickinson, the
popular insurance man, will soon
finish a very interesting historical
story dealing with the Cherokees
and other Indians, which will be
published in The Chieftain. Mr..
Dickinson has been gathering in
formation while travelling through
the territory, and while at Table
quah last week he discovered some
valuable data for his forthcoming
article. lie says the Cherokees
are a noble race, and his research
leads him to the conclusion that
they are lineal descendants of the
Egyptian priests. This, he says,
accounts for so much grace and
beauty amongst the Cherokee la
dies. He promises TO give The
Chieitain readers a very good
story, in the near future. Wall
street, and Old Mexico expert
ence, has fitted Mr.. Dickinson for
almost any task he might under
take, but his friends say he is a
better insurance man than any
thing else. His record of nearly
one million dollars of insurance in
the past five months is certainly a
good one, and his company may
justly feel proud Of him.

A STRANGER DROWNED.
Body Found on the Bank of
Whiteoak.

The dead body Of a stranger was
found early yesterday morning where
the road crosses Whiteoak, three miles
below town, a short distance below
| the railroad water tank. In ac old
road, perhaps fifteen feet from the
one now Travelled, the body was dis
covered, entirely out Of the water,
which probably went down during the
night, leaving il exposed.
Across the creek a small, thin, roam
pony was found, with a saddle, not
much wOrn-except that the leather
upon the horn had been considerably
SCARED, as though by horses teeth
and without a bride. The man was
below medium height, rather heavy
build, and had brown hair. lie had
on a suit of dark or black clothes,
somewhat worn and not originally
expensive, and black suspenders. In
his pockets were found a five dollar
bill, silver dollar and two coppers;
also an express receipt to Frank
Wood for a valise shipped from Par
sons on the 2lst, Sunday, to South
Canadian, where il now is. From
this it is concluded the mans name is
Frank Wood and it has already been
learned that he has two brOthers-in-
law, Albert and John Mckinney, at
or near Checotah. The valise had
been reshipped at Parsons, and ap-
pears to have come TO that point from
Galena. A man answering the de-
scription OF the one found stayed |
Monday night at the Thompson res
taurant in this city, and started south |
aboat seven Tuesday morning. The |
horse is fully identified as the one |
ridden. The man was seen by Mr.. |
at the crossing where the
body was found, the latter starting for
Adair, but turning back when he
found the waters so high, as a result
)f the heavy rains OF the night before.
A peculiar thing was that the water
could hardly have been five feet deep
1t the highest stage, where the body
ay, aud it certainly never washed
here. And further, it was in dead
water and not in the current.
Several persons passed the body but
refused to do anything with it until
he arrival Of an officer, and had not

litely. As il was, it was brought to
his city and delivered to the Ming

-ardiug burial. The horse is at w.

LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE.
A Few Facts Regarding Its Erection
and Cost.

The highest bid for the labor of
erecting the long distance tele-
phone line was $3.50 a mile.
Since then it has been learned that
it is sometimes done in the states
as low as $500 mile. The new
company is required to keep en-
tirely off the railroad right of way,
and where they cross a telegraph
line, must have their wires ten
feet above. The price of wire was
$500 a hundred pounds a few
months ago; now it is S4.2O for the
quality to be used, which weighs
$50 pounds to the mile. The poles
used are to be 20 feet long and to
set three feet in the ground. The
line now contemplated reaches 1O1
miles in length-Chetopa to Wag-
oner, and Vinita to Miami.

A RaiIroader Still.

John Deem passed up on the flyer
Saturday night accompanied by his
wife, after months visit in Texas.
Fourteen years ago he was agent for
a time at this place, for the Katy, but
is now running a tram out OF Grand
Rapids. An idea Of the changes which
have taken place in those years may
be gathered from the fact that the
only two persons at the station when
the train passed up who knew Mr..
Deem were l.. p ISbell and the
writer. ID Mr.. Isbcll did not recog-
niZe him.
