BICYCLE GIRL COMING.
Ernie Bloss En- Route to New
York AwheeI.

-
no doubt it will be grasped with
avidity. A young lady left Deni-
son yesterday morning for New
Yorkand about Sunday ought to be
seen, if the weather is good, flag
ging herself up the road from
Adair. II she is not met more
than half way to that town by
some OF our "bikers" and escorted
into the city with due ceremony
we had best have an auction of
second hand bicyces-riders
thrown in. The following account
OF the lady's journey is from the
Sherman Democrat OF yesterday:
Last evening little woman ap-
parently about II years old, wear
ing blue broad cloth costume
with rows Of brass buttons, eat in
the waiting room at the union sta
ton, and as one with the least
peouliarity of dress always does,
attracted the attention of every
one. Her skirt was short and she
wore leggings. Around her waist
was a belt filled with cartridges
and at her right side hung a scab-
bard from the top of which ap-
peared the pearl handle of a six
shooter. This particularly at
tracted the attention of bystanders
and there were some amusing con-
lectures as to what the little wo-
man might be, some saying she
must be United States officer,
others that she was a private de-
tective, while some concluded that
she was the daughter" of regi-
ment recently mustered out.
There was bicycle fully equip
ped for a long journey, leaning
against the wall near the strange
female and this told the story.
To a Democrat reporter the lit
tie woman said:
"My name is Ernie Bloss. |
am riding my wheel from Fort
Worth, Tex, to New York city for
a purse of $1,000. According to
contract / am to make the trip in
60 days and you bet am going to
do it. ! will leave here early to-
morrow morning and get my break
fast in Denison. From there /
will go right through the territory
to st. Louis,
~ am % years old and my
home is in Mineral Wells. MY
mother and other relatives live
there. The st. Louis, Kansas
City and New York papers have
already printed several articles
regarding my proposed trip and !
have been notified that / will be
met at St. Louis by delegation
Of representatives OF the press
and the cycle club. I may
have some pretty tough
times on the trip but ! am
going to make it all right
Miss Bloss is a bright young
lady and has plenty of confidence,
energy and nerve. She showed
the reporter copies of Fl. Worth
papers giving accounts Of her trip
and her early life.
She was raised on the plains of
western Texas. Took part in the
round-ups and rode bronchos with
any Of the cowboys. The papers
said she could handle a winches-
ter in manner surprising even TO
the crack shots and il cases of ne

ACCOUNT OF CURTIS BILL
Ground Being Claimed and
Lots Jumped. B


Accounts from some sections of
the country show that some peo-
pie have very extravagant ideas of
the scope and effect Of the Curtis
act. Not far from town one man
went over into his neighbours field
yesterday and staked off an so and
demanded that the fence be taken
from around it Immediately. An.
other, colored citizen, went into
his neighbours field and quietly or
dered him to not pillow any more,
as it was now his 80, in proof of
which he had brought along an
other colored brother as a witness.
A fellow out on Pawpaw solemnly
admonished the owner of big
farm that he must draw in his
fences as he was about to file on
two sos nearest his own place.
Posts, and stakes and stones, set
in the ground may be seen on
every hand. At Welch they have
been jumping lots, building
houses in the night and doing all
sorts of wild tricks.
A fine twenty-five inch vein Of
bituminous coal was struck on
Judge Thomas place at Muskogee
last Saturday at a depth of forty
FIVE feet while some men were
drilling a we'll. The coal is OF fine
quality and it is supposed to
abound in great quantities. Phoe-
nix.
The Muskogee Phoenix began
the publication of daily paper
yesterday. The heat Of the pres
ent campaign in that town is prob
ably the Immediate cause of the
appearance Of another daily.
For sale, a lot. .15o by 300 feet with

and other buildings, and good fenced

Mr.. Doll had been arrested for riding n bicycle
on the Speedway. so he tried to ride in a Ian
dau aud on horseback so as to make test cases
rs to each Of these means OF conveyance. Ho

OF bicyc,i,ists. He admitted that he knew that
the bride nth in tie park had been set APART

not adapted TO the use OF bicycles. II was built
for light vehicles going ut high speed. and 1t
would soon b" torn un II heavy conveyances
were allowed upon II. To permit bicyclists and

John Conrad Arrested as He Was Leaving
n COmmercial College in Omnhn.

OMAHA. Neb.. April John Conrad. an ale
legged cattle rustler wanted in Wyoming. Me-
braska and South Dakota. has been arrested
here. where he was studying at a commercial
college. Sheriff Smink OF Sundance. wyo.. ar
rested him as he was leaving the college with
other students to-day.
The officers allege that Conrad operated in
that stretch of range country where South Da-
kota. Nebraska. Wyoming and Colorado Join.
The Sheriff made it so hot for the gang that its
members finally scattered and its leader disap-
peared. For more than a year cattle in small
punches continued to be stolen and the officers
suspected Conrad. but could not find him.
Lately Omaha detectives noticed n man attend-
ing n commercial. college. here who answered
the description of Conrad. On making inqui-
rics they learned that tho student sometimes
disappeared for a week or SO. The Wyoming
sheriff was notified and came and arrested
Conrad.
Conrad's only admission was that he had dis.
posed OF some stolen cattle. He denied that he
had done any stealing directly.
