HE FELT SORRY AFTERWARO
But City Marshal Stanley Had AL
ready Done Gone and Done 1t.

Tonkawa. o. T, Sept. 16.-A little incl
dent occurred at this place last evening
which for self-concett takes all the feath-
ers out of Aguinaldo's cap. City Marshal
Stanley was in the act of clearing away
the accumulated waste paper from in
front of his jewelry store and burning the
same. when one of our reliable and sub
stantial merchants stepped out in front
of his place of business and playfully
threw a piece of Dasteboard at a friaud
who was watching the officers actions.
The innocent bit of board flew wide Of
its mark and lit near the officer, who in
a minute was mad as a wet hen. and
rushing into the merchants place of bus
mess. dragged him out and commanded
hi INTO pick the obstacle up and take it
away. This he did without further COM
ment, but he was warm under the col
lar and kept getting warmer. There was
some talk OF an arrest for assault but
after the swelling had gone out of the
pompoUs marshal and his brain cooled off
he went TO the merchant and apologized.
1t is the prevailing opinion here that the
copper is too heavy for his uniform and

Guthrie, o. T, Sept 1.-THE details Of
a strange death are given by the SILVIA

Nicely, youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs. s.
NJ. Nicely of this city, died last Monday
evening. after a very short and peculiar
illness lasting only about thirty-six hours.
The little fellow retired Saturday night
apparently in the best of health. Upon
arising Sunday morning he went to the
kitchen and called for a drink of water
His mother handed him an empty cup,
suppOsing he would get a drink, but in
stead, he dropped the cup to the floor
and stood apparently asleep His mother,
thinking him not clearly awake led him
to wash bowl and bathed his face Wa
ter was then given him to drink, but
hardly had it touched his tongue until he
fell backward in a spasm. Medical aid
was summoned as quickly as possible but
despite the efforts of the physicians one
spasm followed another in rapid success
sion until he had fifteen Sunday fore
noon. After that, until death relieved
him Of his suffering. they were less fire.

OKARCHE'S WORST FIRE
starts in a Restaurant and Burns a
Row Of Buildings

Okarche, o. r, Sept. 1.-THE most de-
structive fire that has ever been expert
enced in our village occurred yesterday
morning and leaves a big vacancy in the
business part of town. The alarm was
given about half past f. when the parti-
ton between the postoffice building and
the Model restaurant was discovered to
be on fire and so far under way that it
could not be extinguished, and the large
two-story building and new restaurant
were soon burned. The Boldly building
was soon in flames, and the carpenter
shop of Mr.. WEIGH was soon torn down
in hopes of checking the progress Of the
fire, but the space was not large enough
and the Shoultz building was next to
feed the flames. The Hendricks drug
store was on fire in several places at one
time but by the use of a fire extinguisher
in the building the fire was checked and
the building saved from serious damage.
The entire row between ]. E. BothelI's
and the Hendricks store was burned The
sufferers are: A j. Thompson, two build
ings, stock of books postoffice cabinets,
etc, no insurance; DR. Eunice Foster, Of
fee; E. V. Boldly, building, photograph

No REMEDY N LAN
Oklahoma Towns Not Liable
for Acts of MODS.
EVEN THOUGH COMMITTED
By Connivance of Authorities.
Case to be Appealed,

Guthrie, o. T.. Sept ia very impor-
tant case has been decided at Norman.
In the district court yesterday, in pass
ing on a demurrer to the petition in the
case of ]. ]. Wallace VS.. the Town of
Norman, Judge Burwen sustained the de-
murrer and in doing so held that towns
and cities are not liable for injuries done
to persons by mobs and unlawful assem-
blages, even though the mobs congregate
and do the damage with connivance,
knowledge and consent Of the authorities
of the town or city. This decision dis
poses of the Wallace case as far as this
court is concerned 1t will now proba-
bly, go to the supreme court. This case
will be remembered as one growing out
of the injuries inflicted upon Mr.. ]. ].
Wallace in Norman while he was at
tempting to protect a colored man from
a mob. He was badly hurt, and sued the
city for $4,000 damages. At the next term
OF court Judge Burwell especially charg-
ed the grand jury TO investigate the out
rage with view of bringing the guilty
parties to justice. but that body failed to
get any evidence that would justify them
in finding bill 1t is evident the law is
against his recovery of any damages;
and the failure to get evidence against
the perpetrators of the outrage cuts him
out from furnishing them.

MONSTER RATHER KILLED
Eight Feet Loug aud "a Inches in
Circunsferance

Guthrie o. T.. Sept. 1.-THE Weather
ford Democrat says: Last week while
Willard Haskins and ]. E. Richey of this
city were in the Wichita mountains in
the Kiowa and Comanche country, they
noticed an object growing through the
grass at a distance of 800 yards. On ap-
preaching. they discovered it was mon
strous rattlesnake of the diamond species
eight feet in circumference. They en-
deavored to lasso him. cashting the rope
over his head several times. but each
time he drew his length through the
moose and fought so viciously that they
were compelled 10 shoot him. He carried
twenty-five rattles and IS pronounced by
old stockmen Of that section 10 be the
largest ever seen in this section of the
world. He had a hooded head. covered
with soft blue-black hair. resembling the
fur of bat. The young men took off his
skin and poured fifty pounds of -four
mixed with salt into it for the purpose of
preserving it until they got home. The
skin IS now being stuffed and mounted
and Will be exhibited here in a fEw days
It is certainly a natural curiosity.
