STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
EWiIburton Lumber Yard
Destroyed By Fire. \

This morning at A o'clock amid
the noise Of the terrible storm, the
firing Of pistols and ringing OF bells
was heard, which readiiys uggested
fire. Though the rain poured
in torrents it was not long until
many people were at the scene
which proved to be the lumber
yard of Wilburton Lumber Co.
This was terrible night and
disastrous fire. Our men worked
faithfully and although drenched
with water the fighting never
ceased. When first discovered
there was only small streak Of
FIRE extending the whole length OF
the roof, but in few moments all
was in flames. The loss is esti-
mated at about $1,000, with $1,000
insurance. With faithful work on
q part of our men a portion of the
lumber was saved, some damaged
but can be used; 5000 worth of
lime and cement were destroyed
and altogether this was quite
heavy loss to the company. Stith
Davenport, manager, in name of
the company, desires to thank all
who responded so promptly and
worked so faithfully to help save
their property. The Springfield
Grocery Co., and Hill Hardware
Co.. be desired to thank also for
the use OF their buckets.

A MYSTERIOUS KILLING.
"A Most Remarkable story Told For
The Truth.

Monday last, while Frank Will
Jams, who lives near, Collinsville.
was returning home with some
medicine, he felt something sting
him in the back just above the
left hip. He thought he bad
broken the medicine and it had
spilled on him. 1t kept burning
until he reached home, when he
had one of the family examine his
back TO see what had hurt him.
1t was found that he had been
shot, a piece OF his shirt having
been carried into the wound which
stanched the flow OF blood. A
physician was called in and the
ball was located just above the
right hip inside OF the skin. Will
Jams died the next day. 1t is not
kaown whether the shot was inten-
tional, or stray bullet. He was
conscious up to the time OF his.
death, but could think of no
enemy that would revenge himself
in this manner. The affair is
profound mystery. = Claremore

HIS Help to Memory.

Astrarger dropped into one OF
the V oodward avenue groceries
the other day and inquired OF the
clerk if he had any nuts. The
clerk answered in the affirmative.
What kind do you want@ he
asked.
II don't know. Just name them
over to me, will your
"Well, we have hickory nuts,
pecans. beech, walnuts, almonds,
peanuts," and he ratified off a
number of other varieties, but
the stranger shook his head.
"Filberts," suggested the clerk.
No." something like that, but
not filberts."
"Butternuts%
The stranger smiled. "That's
it, thank you.'
"How many do you wantw
asked the clerk.
II don't want any. I've been

A Snoring Premier.
During the all-night sitting of
the New South Wales Legislative
assembly this week the premier,
Mr.. Reid, spent q large part Of
the night in slumber on the oppo-
sition benches. The incident did
not escape notice, as the rotund
attitude of the sleepy premier
and his nasal performances com
PEELED attention from all parts of
the house. Eventually it was
satirically demanded why the
leader Of the government should
persist in remaining on the oppo-
sition side of the house. Mr.. Bar
ton pomptly and wittily defend
ed his new colleague by asking
"Why should he not be there?
Is be not now my sleeping part

In its first issue after the cleo
tioa the esteemed Tahlequah Sem
tinel proceeds to "even up" with
those who have seen fit to. differ
with it ON some ofths questions
of the day. The Chieftain is con-
tent. II advocated allotment ten
years ago and has continued to do
SO ever since, and has never
skulked or been on the fence in
any important issue during the
years of its existence. The vote
in Cooweescoowee district was a
thousand votes below normal.
There was money used in the last
chiefs election, lots of it and It
was used lavishly in this district.
The Chieftain has denounced every
steal that has come TO its knowl-
edge ID hcluding t6ei s4oO, 900 freed
men steal, and that may be the
Sentinel's sore place. 49,,

double Tragedy last Thursday

that has been manifested in the

is in and about the Sentinel office
at Tahlequah. There is a sore

The ratification meeting that
was TO be held at the Bug Tucker

An Unnamed Hero.

Among the melancholy applications

Stella disaster was one touching in its
revelation of a deed of heroism. The

when the father made a piteous ap-
peal to a boat load of passengers who
We're leaving the side to find room for

Identity there is absolutely no trace,
instantly stepped back to the ship and
allowed the lady to take his place. AS
the boat cleared the side the vessel
went down, carrying with it the girls

beautiful! how unutterably sad His
anonymity seems somehow to enhance
the heroic granduer of his death. Moth
