HOH OKLAHOMA SUFFERs.
The factional fight in the Republi-
can party has not only everlastingly
electrocuted that putrid organization,
bat has east cloud over the fair
name Of the territory and dimmed her
commercial glory. The many bad re-
ports going out Of the territory des-
cribing the arrest Of the territorial
auditor and the scendalous charges
hurled back and for th by the oppos-
ing factions, has given oklahoma an
unenviable notoriety which decade
of time cannot efface. The whole
country has begun to regard Oklaho-
ma as nest of thieves and a whole
some place to remain away from.
II the truth were known the one
thing that has kept Oklahoma from
the enjoyments Of statehood mas been
the activity OF political sand bags gers
men who are not interested in the ulti'
mate welfare Of the territory, but
who came here as jobless stihs hoping
for d rake-oH and failing to fulfill
their desires entered on ceaselesH
campaign of yiiliieation against every
thing and every body, good, bad and
indifferent, political aud commercial,

was about SO years of age and when
he left the city for his home Saturday
evening was in apparent good health.
According to his own story, which he
was able to tell after reaching home,
he was taken with sudden weakness
accompanied with acute pains in the
stomach. Dismounting from the
qorse he was riding, he tied the bride
reins to the saddle horn and started
the animal toward home. Upon the
arrival of the horse Mrs. Nelson
started in search of her husband, but
was met short distance from the
house by neighbor who had found
Mr.. Nelson unconscious at the
roadside. The unfortunate man
recovered consciousness only long
enough to tell of the attack, when
he quietly succumbed to the Grim
Destroyer.
The remains we're brought to Canon
City Monday and inferred under the
direction of Royal Gorge Lodge No z,

The outlook for frst-class mining

with each succeeding day. Outside

owners being rewarded for their la
Dor by another discovery Of free gold
in the vein which now appears to be
in place and of sufficient dimensions
to give great hope for the futnre.
Good reports come from every part
of the camp. Some Of these, while
from a perfectly reliable source. are
not yet in shape to be made public,
while others are OF character that
will not justify publication.
The one thing of greatest impor-
tsnce to the camp and city is the
granting Of q $4,000 bond and lease
on the Bonanza claim, owned by
Frank Young and Sam Sheperd. The
claim ia situated on the east side Of
Grape Creek about one mile and a
half northwest Of Dawson, and was
bonded 10 George Strong and as
socistes Of Cripple Greek, Mr.. Strong
being one Of the discoverers Of the
famous Strong mime A clause in the
lease provides for the continuous
working Of the claim for certain
length Of time, which will insure per-

feet. Mr.. Jewett says that inside of
two weeks the property could be
placed in shape to produce twenty
