The coming of May, with
its numerous weddings, May
balls and other social events,
brings an increased demand
upon Our stock. Social lead
ers here look to us for this
sort of footwear-and from
past experiences give us that
confidence which we so freely
enjoy wherever the fame of
Rich's footwear has gone.
The brides of the month
can safely leave it to us to
carry out their ideas in the
matter of footwear to go with
the wedding trousseaux.
When required we make slip
pers of satin Of the same ma
terial as the gown to order
if furnished with a sample.
But the chances are that you
can find just what you want
in our readv-to-wear stock
which contains almost every
shade and color usually worn.
The dainty suedes, bronzes
and kids abound in an almost
endless variety of styles and
effects. These are the nov
elites identical styles
found only in a few of the
leading shoe stores of other
large cities. Ours is the rep
resentative store at the capital

without an equal.
Always expect to find here
everything in footwear you

CHRISTMAS CASUALTIES.
A Woman Killed as a Result
of a Holiday Drunk.

Two Christmas casualties are re-
ported from Cowskin prairie, pre-
sumably the result of drinking
Southwest City whisky. Saturday
night some parties were passing
the home of Mrs. Allen Down,
three miles east of Grove, and
fired into the house, the inmates
being in bed. A bullet struck Mrs.
Down in the side, killing her.
The same night Walker Fields,
the son of George Fields, passed
some campers on the road from
Southwest City. They were drunk,
and be may have been so. In any
event, a fight ensued in which
Fields was shot, though not "a
tally.
There is a United States statute
against selling whisky to Indians
but as its enforcement would en-
tail a material reduction in the
money receipts of all the state bor-
der towns, such a condition is
probably not to be considered.

THE NEW JUDGE COMING.
Subordinate Appointments to
be Made Soon.

Judge Gill, Of Colby, Kansas,
the newly appointed Judge of the
Northern district, is expected to
arrived on the 4:12 train this
morning. He will spend some
time in Vinita and in company
with the district attorney will then
go to Muskogee. Judge Gill's ap-
pointments for the subordinate po-
siiions, such as commissioners,
deputy clerks, ETC., will be made
in few days, or as soon as he ar
rlves and looks the field over.
The supposition is that the new
Judge will reside in Vinita, and
the advantages to the town of hav-
ing the judge of the Northern dis
trict a resident of the city and in
close proximity to the principal
court in the district are apparent.
The next term OF court conveEes
here on the 18th inst, and both the
criminal a d the civil dockets are
exceedingly lengthy, and The pre-
sumption is that the term will last
far into the spring.

Tim Time 1t Was a Man.

"The querest letter 1 ever saw
In my life," said a Washington
newspaper man who was in the
city recently, "was shown me at
the home of an army officer now
on duty in the war department. 1t
is written in lead on a couple Of
thin slabs Of grayish-white stone,
each about six inches long and
two inches broad, and its story is
rather romantic. When General
Crook was chasing the Apache
Chief Geronimo across Southern
Arizona in 1885, the officer to
whom I refer commanded a COM
pany of infantry, and while the
main command pushed west along
the Gila river he took a couple Of
troops and struck out southwark
on a reconnoitre.
"They had been gone about two
weeks, suffering all manner Of
hardships and living exactly like
the Indians themselves, when the
captain decided to send one of his
men back with a verbal report
He was anxious to embrace the
opportunity to also dispatch
letter to his sweetheart, who was
then a young belle in Washington
society, but there was not a scrap
of paper Of any kind in the party,
nor as much as a mOrsel Of pencil.
Knowing she was eagerly await
ing news from the front he racked
his brain and finally noticed some
smooth fragments of limestone
that had Clipped off from a near
by ledge.
THAT solved the problem. He
selected two fat pieces, drew a
pistol cartridge from his belt
and scrawled his letter with the
poit of the bullet. Laying the
stones face TO face, so that the
writing would not be rubbed OF
by abrasion, he tied them firmly
together with strips Of a hand
kerchief and inscribed the address
on the outside. Nothing remain
ed but to affix the stamps, which
the trooper promised to do as soon
as he struck camp. He put the
pared in his blouse, got through
in safety, although he had several
hairbreadth escapes, and mailed
it at Maricopa. 1t required Is
cents postage, and the date mark
is still quite legible. 1 need hard
ly say that the lady prizes this
strange epistle above all the souv-
anirs which now fill her beauti-
tul Washington home"

COURT CLERKSHIP.
An Outsider Slated for the
Northern District.

Washington, Dee. "a judicial
matters of interest TO the Northern
district of Indian Territory have
been much in evidence ia Wash
ingtOn during the past week. Ma
tional Committeeman Leo Bennett
aud United States Attorney Piiny
L. Soper have encountered some
unpleasant experiences, and as
result neither one is as much in
love with the chairman of the re-
publican national committee, Mar
Gus Alonzo Hanna, as they have
been in the past. In fact the love
OF the two United States officials
in the territory for the "big boss"
in the republican party is not near
ly so pronounced. For the first
time since the commencement of
the present administration, Chair
man Hanna openly and vigorously
brushed aside all recommendations
made by Bennett and Soper, and
directed that c. A. Davis, OF Cleve-
land, Ohio, be appointed clerk OF
the court in the Northern district,
over which Judge Gill, of Kansas,
is to preside.
Both Mr.. Soper and Mr.. Bennett
want this place for a local man,
but their wants were ignored and
their protests Intellectual. Follow
ing this came the announcement
that the arrangement entered into
six months ago by which Charles
H. Sawyer, of Connecticut, was to
lie appointed assistant United
States attorney. to succeed Mr.
Parker, had been cOnsummated.
Thus Bennett and Soper found
themselves in an extremely awk-
ward position. Three of the fat
jobs in the territory had gone to
rank outsiders. The appointment
of Judge Gill was not so bad, but
to have a Cleveland man given the
clerkship and a Connecticut man
the assistant attorneyship was gall
and wormwood.
When this fact became known
to Mr.. Bennett he carefully sur
veyed the situation, arrived at the |
conclusion that nothing could be
done and packed his grip and |
started for home: SOper, however,
was more persistent. He remain
I'd on the ground and protested |
aud kicked. He also received the !
assistance of National Committee
man Cy Leland, of Kansas, but
the odds against them were too
great and they were finally com.
PEELED to lay down, but Soper did
so still protesting.
Mr.. Parker, the first assistant
United States attorney is to be APP
pointed master in chancery for the |
court in the Northern district. He |
is to be succeeded by Charles II.
Sawyer, of Connecticut. Upon the
retirement of Mr.. Wilcox next |
spring, Sawyer will be promoted |
to first assistant attorney and J.H
Huckleberry, of Sallisaw, is to be
appointed to second assistant at
torney to fill the place made va
cant by Sawyer's promotion.-l

great deal of discussion is going on

of the opinion that an abundant

more real benefit to the town than
oil. gas or coal. Without water

IL was everywhere known, WINS always
kept nenr Che dividing line, and was the
most popular rendezvous in the two town
ships for those of a convivial nature.
Sharp eyed and quick cared sentinels were
continually on the watch, however, and
at the first breath Of warning OF the APP
proach Of the sheriff of Pittsfeld the float,
IL 1t CHANGED TO be on that side, was speed
fly scuIled or poled over into Lanesboro
There the baffled Pittsfield officer might
gaze at It to his hearts content, but it
was beyond his jurisdiction. In the same
wey the sheriff Of Lanesboro found that
the float successfully eluded all his most
vigorous attempts to surprise it on his
side of the line. Each officer was so anx-
ious M mako the capture in his own
township that the rivalry was spirited and
the hoat led Q life of excitement But this
same rivalry between the sheriffs was also
its protection, for their professional jesl-
ousy OF each other prevented them from
trying the clearly feasible plan Of joining
their forces and running the foat down
into one township or the other.
After q few seasons of this life J. retired
