TALES OF THE TOWN.
A Man Who Never Surrendered
Story of Joe Donovan

A Man Who Never Surrendered
Story of Joe Donovan-ActOr.
Under the shade OF the trees in
front of the Cobb hotel afternoons,
is given up to be the most comfort
able place in the city these sultry
days. Landlord Arter's big Office
chairs are carried out unceremoni-
ously and occupied by guests, Wis
itors, loungers and men of leisure
every day. If all that is said there
could be compiled and edited from
day to day it would fill columns OF
interesting reading matter.
Tuesday Captain Nelms inter
ested a crowd for some time, tell
ing some of his war experience.
OF course the Captains friends all
know that he was wounded in
battle toward the close of the civil
war by having his thigh broken by
q rifle ball and lay in the hospital
at Richmond, Va, till after the
surrender at ADpomatox. But
many of them did not know tha the
never surrendered and refused to
take the oath of allegiance even, at
the earnest solicitation of Gen.
Rob't E. Lee, whose daughter Wis
tied him often at the hospital after
it had fallen into the hands of the
government. Captain Nelms left
the hospital on a borrowed parole
that had been issued to some other
soldier and never did surrender
even to this day.
Another funny story was told, a
of the early days in
Vinita by a gentleman who has
lived here ever since the town was
started. During the Cherokee pay
ment of 1880, when the "bread
money" was paid out, the genial
landlord of the Western hotel en-
barked in the show business and
gave performances nightly in big
tent all over the Cherokee nation
wherever a disbursement was
made. The star character in
the aggregation was a barber
and hotel porter named Joe
Donovan, of whom many of
our old citizens have vivid recol-
lections. Donovan had natural |
ability and took to his |
new roll as naturally as a duck
would take to water. One scene
in the play was especially suited
TO Joe's talent. He played the
part of student to a doctor, and |
among other duties swept his pre-
ceptoF's office, hoed his garden,
played hostler, etc., etc. Finally
the "stugent" as Joe was called,
thought the doctor should allow
him TO treat a case son his own
hook" but was put off on one ex-
,use and another lilf one day a
patient called upon the doctor and
was duly and gravely examined.
The fellow was suffering from
fits" and during the quiz was
AIKEN with a violent " fit" knock
ID the doctor down, broke the
,ffice furniture, and became very
violent. Joe, the faithful "stu-
,ent," stood by him, but the
ioctor became as crazy from fear
is the patient was from fits"
lie ran wildly from his Office yell
ng 10 the "stugent:" "That is
'our easel that is your case! do the
pest youcan for him, l am going
o take care of myself, l have
family to support"

Some one has figured out the
time it will take the town COM
missions in the Creek and Choc-
taw nations to finish their jobs.
The end of the present century
will see the good work just fairly
begun. The Cherokee nation will
perhaps be left over till the twen-
tieth century.

A new record in cattle receipts
was made yesterday at Kansas
City. Over $1,000 were received,
the largest receipts in the history
of the city. Most OF them were
from the grass ranges of the south

districts as feeders.

An Awful Mistake.

A beautiful young lady tripped
into a drug store a few days ago
and told the druggist who presides
that she wished some castor oil,
and asked him if he could mix il
up so as to disguise the taste of it.
"Oh, yes" the druggist replied.
Presently he said: "Will you
have a glass of soda water, Miss
-"
"Oh, yes" says she. After
drigking the soda water the young
lady waited awhile and then asked
the druggist if the castor oil was
ready.
"Oh," says he, "you have
already taken the oil in the soda
water"
"Great heavens, shrieked the
young lady, 81 wanted it for mo-
ther."

LIEUTENANT CRAVENS.
A nuskogee Boy fionored By Adju-
tant General COrbln.


Mr.. R. X. Cravens, of this city,
was yesterday notified from Wash
ington that he bad just been CON-
missioned to first iieutenancy in
the United States army by Adju-
tant General Corbin, and today he
has been receiving the congratu-
lations of his friends-which means
everybody in Muskogee.
Mr.. Crsvens enlisted year ago
in the First Territorial volunteer
infantry and was a first lieutenant
when mustered out of the service.
He is a true son of Mars and the
material instinct is his by inner
itance. His father, Colonel Cra-
vens, was a gallant Confederate
soldier. and participated in many
a hard fought engagement during
the civil war. Lieutenant Cravens
has not yet been assigned to SER
vice, but he will likely receive
orders in a few days to report for
duty.-Times.

Now that the grazing season is
about over the government has
begun its annual talk about taxing
the cattle men. By the time the
cattle are all shipped the depart
ment will again be notified that
the prosecuting attorney stands
ready to prosecute. The Indians
are getting an object lesson in the
white mans ways.

Some of the papers in the In
dian Territory are very much dis
satisfied with the work of the
Townsite commissioners, because
the commissioners have not made
more progress. That is not the
fault of the commissioners, for
they have proceeded as fast as 1t
was safe to do. They had no pre-
cedent 20 guide them in their
work, it was all new for them, and
brand new instructions and plans
for work had to be prepared for
them. In view of the many diff
culties in the way of their work,
the commissioner working in the
Chickasaw and Choctaw nations,
have done quick work.

The duties of the ex-clerks of
The district courts and also of the
supreme court of the Cherokee
nation ceased when the Curtis law
abolishing tribal courts went into
effect. The records of the district
clerks were supposed to have been
turned over to the executive de-
psrtnent of the nation long ago.
Such ex-official clerks should be
exceedingly careful about making
transcripts of records in their
hands. A great deal of such busi-
ness viii ultimately find its way
into the United States courts.
The DEGREES of the of the Chero-
kee courts will have to be carried
out under the federal laws and
endless litigation may result. The
records themselves will the best
evidence.

Delaware Emigration DELAYED.

The Delaware emigration party
to old Mexico, Of which Tom
Ketchum and family were to form
a part have called halt and will
wait developments before starting.
There is an Indian uprising now
going on in the very section of
country to which they were going
and they have been notified to not
start TIL it is quelled.

BEER SOLD AT WAGNER.

A good many people are wonder
ing why Wagner is the proud
possesser of the finest saloon in
the Indian Territory, and how it
is that beer is sold openly over
the bar day and night. This
seems all the more strange when
not long ago two kegs of beer came
to the depot in Vinita, and P. L.
Soper, the United States district
attorney got an officer and went
over to the depot, knocked the
heads of the kegs in and spilled
the beer. 1t is shipped into Wag-
oner under the name of "mist" by
the car load and not a word said.
When the tall term of court in the
Northern district opens it will be
interesting to watch their proceed
ings. The attention of the govern
ment at Washington will be called
to the state of affairs in the Indian
Territory as regards the enforce
ment of law. If the law is to be
ignored by officials whose sworn
duty il is to enforce it, it is high
time the fact was known, not only
by the people of the Indian cOun-
try but by the American people at
large. If there is one spot on the
American continent where the flag
is not respected, and where the
federal laws are despised let that
place be pointed ont and the re-
sponsible parties exposed,

Life a Total Failure.


We never loved a tree or flower
but that the rolling stone gathered
no moss. Our jokes fall fiat, stale
and Improbable, while our seri-
Gus and sober efforts evoke the
most enthusiastic outburts of mer-
riment. When we expect to split
a side we break a heart, and when
We would call up the tender tears
from the heart Of pathos, wild and
woody outbursts of laughter smite
upon our delicate end sensitive
ear. When we try to preach a
sermon we are mistaken for a jes-
ter and when we seek to rival
Josh Billings Talmage grows jeal-
ous.-Dyersburg, Tenn, Herald.
As long as the Indian Territory
can have such crop years as the
present, nobody will fuss much
about the kind of government we
have to live under. The tribal
governments are doing their best
to quit business, and will talk as
long and as intelligently about
measures to that end as will the
Dawes commission. The Chero-
KEGS have been accused of being
obstructionists, but now they are
willing to meet the government

throughout the country and for
many years a resident of Table

many years and held the position
at his death. He leaves a widow
