PHoroGRAFHING 4 pArTLE
The InceaSant Whistle OF Bullets Is
Not Exactly Conducive 10
Good Work.

Many people have had ideas OF pho
tographing battle. A photograph OF
Modder river would reveal nothing but
a bare stretch Of veldt with line Of
willowsand poplars in the background.
Not a Boer could be seen, and even our
own men were almost invisible as they
lay therein sand-colored khaki, keeping
aliberal five PAGES apart only here and
there whore a slight undulation gave a
precarious cover could one see the
Khaki backs clustered together like a
swarm Of locusts on the plain, says
Scribner's.
Personally, having been fortunate
enough to find a small ant-hill for my
head protection, | endeayorcd TO take
few snapshots with kodak, not be-
cause there was anything to take, but
in order to give some idea Of the bare
aspect of a modern battlefield, but
am free TO confess that to let go the
shutter and still keep ones head be-
hind an ant-heapproved SO difficult an
operation that ii was a pure matter Of
chance whether I photographed the
yeldt or the sky.
The incessant whistle Of bullets is
not good for photography, though, GU
riously enough, it encourages sleep
Many men dozed off that morning un-
der the rays Of a particularly insistent
sun, only to be awakened by the
bursting of a big shell or the repeated
reports of a most disagreeable quick
firing gun employed by the enemy with
equal impartiality against our firing
line and our hospital wagons.
All the morning the one cheering
note was the incessant reports of our
own field pieces and naval guns. Early
in the day the two field batteries had
moved round from our extreme right !
and came up in the center just little
to the east of the railway and did most
magnificent work.

Alton and Return on SUNDAY,

The boys who went to Alton yester-
day had very pleasant trip. They

ten and, after a few falls on the way,
reached Alton about FIVE minutes af-
ter eleven o'clock. They stayed in
Alton couple ~ hours, taking din
ner while there and started back
about one O'Clock. They stopped at
the creek about a half an hour aud
then rode on 70 town reaching here
about half past two and NOT much the
worse for wear.

There is every indication that we
are to have another long seige of
waiting for the final allotment and
settlement Of land titles in the
Cherokee nation. The Cherokee
delegation, from all accounts have
signally failed to make treaty
with the government and will
come home, having given up the
task in disgust. Allotment under
the Curtis bill with all its disa-
greeable and Objectionable features
is all that is now left.

START OF THE FEUD.
DAILY Eighty Thousand Dollars
for Al Stream.

Gus" Schmidt tells this story in
connection with the trouble of Senator
Clark, Of Montana. who is bitterly pur-
sued by Marcus DAILY, says the Indian
apolis Press:
"The start of this feud dates from
their early mining days when Clark
was dependent on the water from a
small stream for the successful work
ing of his mines. DAILY bought the wa
ter right for $4,000 and compelled
Clark to pay $4,000 for its use.
"a further item, which goes to show
Clark's luck. or pluck. is that a prom
inent western smelling company was
financially embarrassed, and as it was
at a time of panic the company could
not obtain ready money. Clark exam
ined its books, and. finding them in
good condition. took 100000 stock in
the company. In going over the books
he noticed a carload Of ore once in
awhile that was exceedingly rich. and
made inquiry of the name Of the mine
from which the ore came. lie was told.
and went TO the mine dressed as a
miner and hired himself out to the four
young men who owned IT, and went TO
work as a miner After seeing the
wealth of the mine he bought IL for
$500 900. and this mine Is now making
him Millions

General John B. Gordon arrived
on the belated Katy train and will
deliver his famous lecture The
last days of the Confederacy" at
the opera house at $3.50. This
will no doubt be the last oppor-
tunity many of our people will
have Of hearing the distinguished
Southerner. General Gordon is an
old man and in few short years
will have passed away as have
most Of the illustrious men of bis
time.

Now that nearly all the towns
in the Indian Territory have rolled
up democratic majorities in their
municipal elections, statehood.
with or without Oklahoma will
hardly be considered. Statehood
for the five tribes will come when
another democratic administration
comes, not before.

While the conflict for supremacy
thickens, and as the rivalry OF In

sharper, it should behoove the
citizens of Vinita to stand together
in all matters essential to the
growth and prosperity of the city.

TWO MEN
KILLED.
Shot While In Pursuit
OF the. Emporia
Burglars.

Suffolk. Va, March 22.-As a
sequel to the robbery of John r.
Grlzzard's home at Emporia, Va.
yesterday two citizens who had
volunteered to run down the burg
lars and who had been deputized as
officers were this morning shot
down at the desperadoes' rendez-
vous few miles from Emporia.
They were John Saunders and b.
W. Walton, whose death was
accomplished without any damage
to the men who it was sought to
dislodge. The hold burglary in
Grizzard's bedchamber, folio wing
as it did the assassination,of G. W.
Blick at Emporia and numerous
burg'aries ofcountry stores, aroused
the citizens Of that vicinity to the
point Of desperation. and many
determined men offered to help the
officers and bloodhounds in run
ming down the criminals. Two or
more trails were being followed
simultaneously. The branch posse
OF which Saunders and Walton
were members suspected that some
ofthe outlaws might be using an
old building in s. Guided wood as
headquarters. They approached
cautiously and were rece we'd by a
vol!ey. The first shot leled one of
the attacking party and the other S
fall was only delayed a few seconds.
A third memb escaped unhurt
and reported their disastrous re-
pulse.
The news Of the death of the two
men at the hand of the alleged
burglars spread rapidly. Many
other citizens joined a posse and
the force was Cent'a'iz ID about the
IoreI y rende2ous, avenues ofescapc
being cut off. A white man with
long, unkempt hair and whose
general appearance is typical Of a
mountain desperate was captured.
lie is supposed to be the leader,
thought there is no evidence that
he is guilty of any thing but the
shooting. None but negroes have
been seen in the burgjaries and
hold-ups. There is much excite
ment, with strong pospects Of a
lynch'ng. The negro who was
with the white man when the
murders were done is beng fol.
lowed, and it is thought he cannot
escape the pursuers. Never before
has Emporia been SO aroused, ard
