We're Three Robbers.
There were three of the robbers,
third, who appeared to be the leader,
was unmasked. They stood the train
men up by themse Ives, and refused to
take anything from them. One man
saved $50 by slipping his roll down
the neck of his little boy inside of his
shirt Many of the other passengers
also secreted their Naluables and
money, one travelling man putting a
valuable diamond ring in his mouth.
When the job was completed the rob-
bers compelled the porter of the car
to pull the air brake and stop the
train.
4 Wagon In Waiting.
From n remark dropped by them it
is supposed they had wagon in wait
ing. As they left the ear they warned
the passengers not to get off or stick
their heads out OF the window, for
said one of the robbers. 1--WE would
hate to be forced to kill anybody for
the small amount we got"
Robbers Were Too Slow.
The robbers seemed to be disap-
pointed over the amount of their haul,
and remarked that they did not see
how SO poor lot of passengers could
niford to ride in sleeping car
The passengers say the slowness Of
the robbers enabled them to secrete
their valuables. As soon as the train
stopped the robbers disappeared in the
darkness.
The robbers are described as being
roughly dressed, two of them being
big, burly fellows, and the third, from
his appearance, was consumptive.

NECESSITY OF DISCIPLINE.

Every observer of human affairs
must have seen tEat-discipline
must come personally to every son
of Adam. If the child in the home
gets it, it requires less in the man
or woman. If the boy is neglected
while growing into manhood, he is
sure to get an increased dose when
he reaches manhood and goes up
against the stern realities of
heartless world. Men who have
had their own way for a series of
years become tyrannical and op-
pressive and forget the rights of
other entirely. Then they have
TO be disciplined; sometimes they
have TO be sent to the penitentiary,
sometimes they have to be hung,
and always it is necessary to ad-
minister punishment. Men have
been known TO be so forgetful OF
the rights of others that whole
communities rose up and admin
istered rebuke to them. We see
this idea exempli6ed in tbs pro-
LESSONS. aud Ia business and in
social lie.

HUTCHINGS' LETTER.
Explains His Position as to
Cherokee Laws.

The following is a letter from
Attorney Hutchings OF which men
tion was made III last weeks Re-
publican and we have since OBJ
tanned his consent to publish the
sauv.
MUsKoGEE, L. T. oct. 81. 1899.
Editor Republican, see a mis-
statement In your usually well in
formed paper this week, to this
effect: Thus after having Hutch
ings declare that our laws were
abrogated." No man ever heard
me declare any such thing; on the
contrary, it was due to my repeat
ed arguments and briefs before the
treasury and interior departments,
as well as in the United States
courts here, that the view was
taken that the laws were still in
force. | made three different ar
guments before the treasury de-
partment on that point and finally
prevailed on them to decide that
the CherOkees could still issue
warrants. The position / have
taken which some seem to mis-
understand is that the recent
United States laws have abrogated
the intercourse laws, and that the
Curtis bill did not abolish the
power of the nation to collect its
own taxes, but only forbid the col
lection of rents and royalties by
any one but United States officer. |
What | am fighting and what l |
propose te continue to fight is the |
right of the Indian agent to put
United States citizens out of this
country without showing that they |
are here here contrary to some
law. | think the establishment
here now of courts has abrogated
that law. There is forum here
now and good laws for the proper
settlement of every question that
can arise. x x | find no
lduiI Win anybody Tor crltlclslng
me or my acts; all | ask is not to
be misrepresented, which | am
sure you would not wIlfully do.

COal I'm Abundance.

The long looked for and much
talked of opening OF the famous
Horse Pen coal mines at and near
Collinsville took place last Mon,
day. The Horse Pen company
consisting of Col. S. NJ. Porter,
Major William Edwards, Capt.
Harve Truskett. Mr.. Alexander
Paltison and other Caney capital
lists, were in Bartlesville Tuesday
on its return from the opening and
were much slated over the outlook
of the venture. Major Edwards,
who appeared as spokesman for
the company, said that three con-
tracts had been let for the getting
out of the coal and that each of
these contractors was obliged to
get out from 5 to 20 car loads
day. This will give the mines a
total output of sixty cars per diem,
which is enough to supply the
whole northwestern corner of the
territory and also a good export
trade.
The opening of the Horse Pen
mines will, among other benefits,
usher in an era of cheap coal. In
deed, in view of the short distance
which it has to be shipped and the
consequent low freight rate, the 4
company expects to be able within @
two or three weeks to supply tn {
market with coal : n
the very low figure of ten or twefe Q
cents a bu-hel. In addition to =
supplying the territorial dsmads,
he company will ship 10 or 2 car y
Dads day into Kansas sd has
llready made arrangement with h
he Santa Fe foT the moing of Il
hat amount.
That coal exists in pEctically n,

If General Joseph Wheeler does
as active fighting in the Phillip
pines, where he has recently been
ordered, as he did in the South
during the civil war, he is apt to
make his presence felt. General
Horace Porter tells the following
story, which is both true and
timely: Il was about the middle
of the civil war when a freshly ap-
pointed colonel with a newly en-
listed regiment joi,ed the Union
forces in the far South. They
were beautifully 1ew, both in ex.
perience and in uniforms, and
they were very anxious to fight.
The routine o. camp life drove
them amos to mutiny. One
bright 0ctAoar morning word was
received nat q small detachment
of Geneai Wheeler's cavalrymen

and orce started out in pursuit. |

printed in this paper is worthy of
the careful perusaI of every prop

decision turned was as to whether
=. H. Tarrant, a white man and
a aon-citizen of the Cherokee ma
ton had cause of action in bring
ing suitin injunction. The court
held that the parks were dedicated
to ihe use of the public by the
Cherokee nation, and that they
could not afterwards be sold.

since We come to think of it
there is really not much that the
Cherokee national council can or
Eli do in the way of legislation.
A lew commission to negotiate
l.eaty with the Dawes commission
is one of the things the Cherokee
people expect to see done. The
average Cherokee citizen don't
even care to discuss the feasibility
of trying to rehabilitate the old
