NEW YEAR PROSPECTS,

This is the last issue of The
Daily Chieftain until we shall have
entered upon the closing year o.
the 10th century, in many respects
the greatest of all the centuries Of
the Christion era. AS measured
by inventions, by physical arts
and sciences no century in the his
tory Of the world can compare
with it. The world ought to be
better than ever before as meas
ured by advantages and oppoItu-
mites, and in spite of many sad
and distressing conditions it un-
doubtedIy is. Locally the century
will close with many unsolved
problems; allotment and relin-
quishment of tribal relations will
hardly be contaminated, but the
prospects of our town will be grow
ing brighter and brighter. But by
what shall the coming year be es-
pecially noted in Vinita and the
Indian Territory? Shall it be the
crown of all the years that have
passed, in its history? There may
be great surprises for US in store,
and achievements by which the
century will close year hence in
a perfect blaze of glory. AS was
with the past year, none can pen
citrate the recesses of the year now
opening to discover what it holds
of grief or gladness, of disappoint-
ment, of achievement. Some of
US shall no doubt have passed out
from this earth life to the bourne
from whence no traveller returns
before it's close, and our eyes shall
look upon what now seem to be
the yelled mysteries of the other
world.9
This should be the greatest year
Vinita ever saw in many respects.
The ripening conditions that sur
round it, the elimination of long
line Of circumstances that have for
years been moving toward its ad-
vancement, and the general for
ward movement in the whole In
dian territory, all tend to the
of It's cherished

Attempt to Kill.

Deputy Sheriffs Hollis, Hardy and Ca
trow, arc out on the trail Of I. M. Craw-
fork. of McCoy's Ferry. and so far he has
succeeded in evading the officers. He is
charged with attempting to kill his wife
and daughter.
Lately his wife and daughter left him
and went TO the home of Mr.. Chas. Bo-
dine, where they have been living Craw-
ford did not like the idea of them leaving
him and on Monday, seeing them al the
window Of MIR. Bodine's house. he pro-
cecded there with double barrel shot
gun. He commanded them TO come with
him and when they refused he AIMED the
gun at the window and discharged both
barrels. The loads passed through the
window. but fortunately did NOT strike
anyone.
Mr.. Bodine then had warrant sworn
out for his arrest and on Thursday Dep
uty Hollis and Catrow went 10 Nc Coy's
Ferry. but couldn't find him. Ii seems
that Crawford was hiding and watched
the movements Of the officers, for directly
after they left he struck his wife with
large stone and cut her head badly.
The officers went down again Fri
day and spent the nj hit at the home OF
Mr.. Bodine. bur Crawford failed to show
up and they were compelled to return
again without him. IT. a pretty sc 1ous
charge against Crawford and il he is
caught il will not go easy with him. The
officers intend making another trip after
him.

Richmond, Va.

City employees at Richmond, Va, the
other day dug trench in the center Of
Fifth street near the almshouse and in
what now Is populous district. At q
distance of two feet they struck large
deposit of human bones. The skele-
tons were packed close together. as II
buried in one large grave. Dark stains
and shapes in the earth show where cof-
fins had once existed.
About 200 skeletons were unearthed
in trench seven feet wide. No digging
was done on either side and the extent
Of the burial place is not known. An
old citizen suggests that the remains
are those of victims of a cholera epi-
demic in 1910. when the locality where
they are buried was waste land. The
street grade where the bodies were
found has been lowered several feet in
late years. No soldiers were buried
there during the civil war.
