A short time ago Jacob Williams of
Wilburton put an acetylene gas
plant in his place of business, and
last night while be was recharging
the reservoir it exploded with such
violence that Mr.. Williams was
thrown into the next room and was
terribly burned about the face and
hands. His clerk, young man they
call John, was also very badly
-burned.-South McAlester Capital.
Vinita can now be properly con-
1sidered the seat of political power
for the Indian Territory. 1t is the
home of National Committeeman
Mellette, of Judge Joseph A. Gill
and of Pliny L. Soper, the suave and
accommodating prosecuting attor'
ney for the northern district. Seek
ers after political patronage must
needs come To Vinita.-Vinita Chief

The year drawing to a close has
been so far the most prosperous one
in the history of the NJ. Z. & T. rail-
way. This is not because of political
conditions, however, but because of
the development of the Indian Terri
tory and Texas. Along its entire
route of loco miles Muskogee and
Denfson show the greatest gain in
business and the greatest per cent
in local improvement. - Muskogee
Times.
Yesterday morning word was
brought to the city that Claude, the
second youngest son of Ben j..
Vaughn, had accidently shot and
killed himself while out hunting with
his youngest brother, Oscar. At
formation or full particulars, but
from what we can learn the boys
were out hunting, Oscar, the young
est, having no gun. The two were
epaTated by little patch of brushy
ground when Oscar heard the gun q
report, and looking, saw his brother
falling from his horse, He went at
once for help and the injured one
was taken home at once. The whole
load of shot entered the side of ths
head. He lived about two hours,
and while seemingly conscious,
could not speak. His body was
buried yesterday afternoon at the
cemetery on the Little Washita by
the side of his mother, who died
eight years ago. Rev. Cameron OFF,

men and they forthwith proceeded
to liquidate.-Muskoge Times.

erett's little boy placed % cartridge
in his mouth and was chewing on ii
when the shell exploded in his

Alton Climax.
DR.. Callahan of Muskogee was in
In the city few days ago, and he
says the smallpox money is badly
tied up and he doesn't know when
1t will be paid out. He says the
tChoctaw nation alone has turned in
over $50 900 of accounts and they are
still coming. The appropriation
will not cover half of the accounts
