north of Line creek, a mass of
scalds from head to foot. Con-
dition very serious.
Thomas Henderson, at the home
of Mr.. Bennett badly scalded on
face and legs, but the body escap-
ed injury.
J. J. Berry, owner of the plant
was injured but little, the cinders
and dirt flying in his eyes being the
worst. He has a sore on his leg
which breaks and bleeds when he
lifts heavily, This broke loose and
before discovered left puddIes of
blood on the floor. lie was not
badly hurt.
E. I. Watson, who had been in a
water closet back of the premises
and had just came out as the ex-
plosion occurred, was knocked
down, but received no wounds or
scalds.
Frank Davis and jim DAVIS, two
brothers from Checota, Kansas,
were onlookers and strangers, when
The boiler blew up, Each were
badly scaled about the face and
body. Jim Davis had a finger
broken and hand badly mashed.
These two are at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. White, one door west Of
Major Smiths, wherey the were
taken in and cared for by Mrs.
White. Mrs. White, in the good
ness of her heart, does not consider
it a burden, but the matter is one
for the Epworth League, perhaps,
or at least charitable people of the
city to assist the good lady and
make the burden as light as possible.
The young men, so the surgeon in
attendance says, will probably be
able to go to their home in few
days. The parents of the young
men have been notified.
This Is the worst catastrophe that
ever happened in the town. Many
outburts of criticism are heard over
the use of an old worn out boiler,
and in the hands Of incompetent
men, but the worst had happened,
and only ready hands and willing
hearts were ready to give succor
and help TO all, both home folks
and strangers. All were taken to
their homes, ana the two strangers
were taken into the hospital home
of Mr.. and Mrs. White, where they
are receiving every attention.
The damage to engine boiler and
house are not in the account. The
engine was worthless, the house
cheap box building. The damage
to building is about $50.

The Condition.

The South McAlester Capital
sums up the conditions in the In
dian Territory as follows:
OF the many intricate points
the Indian Territory riddle pre-
sents up to date, the following
have been solved;
That the white non citizen had
no business to come here IN the
first place.
Since he is lerc be is an interlop-
er and has 70 rights either the In
dams or the federal officials of the
Interior department are bound to
respect.
That his presence is tolerated
because he is q source of wealth
TO the indians and provided jobs
for a lot of carpet baggers who
had to be cared for by the admin
istration.
That since he is here he has got
TO pay the indians taxes and pay
the salaries of the tax gatherers.
Any show of resistance on his
part will result in his being put
out Of the territory by armed men.
That he is entitled to no edu
cational advantages other than
that he is able to pay for.
That the cattleman will now
have to pay the tax the same as
the merchant and the laborer.
That the Curtis bill has been
declared unconstitutional by the
courts.
The rejection by Injunction
election by force, collection by
levy and subjection of personal
rights, are to be the rule.
That at the present rate of pro-
gress another century will be re-
quired to wind mp affairs under
the present regime.
That none of The agents of the
department are wasting any time
trying to hasten their work.
That the people who have built
the cities of the towns and terri
tories are not to have a voice in
the appraisement of their towns.
That when congress passes a
law, as in the timber and stone in
stance, which is not satisfactory
to the secretary of the interior or
some his snb0rdinates, he or they
quickly make a ruling to nulifiy it.
These are a few of the most
vexaiions points which seem to
have been fully and finally deter
mined by the powers in charge,
so it cannot be said things are
moving either forward or back

THE ENGINE IN THE STORE.
Piled up in Mr.. Berry's Store Fifty
Feet From Where it Was Be-
fore the Explosion.

About S O'Clock this morning
a loud boom startled the town.
1T proved to be the explosion of
the steam boiler at the wood yard
of J. J. Berry, and the amount OF
damage dond is a marvel for
so small a boiler. The engine
was ten horse power traction
engine and used for saving wood
with circular saw, and for running
a small corn mill. The machine
has been running in the city for a
year or more, although not con
sidered safe, having been con-
demned in Montague county,
Texas, several years ago.
The engineer, Simon Stinson,
says he had steam up and the
guage showed about $50 pounds
when he started. A moment after
starting something got loose about
the saw and he shut the engine
down. He opened the door of
the fire box, but steam kept
climbing up on him. In a very
few miutes he opened the throttle
and the explosion came, scattering
steam and hot water over every
thing and everybody within reach.
The engine and boiler were locat-
ed about 80 feet from the rear of
the building used a store room for
feed and groceries. The engine was
facing from the building. The
boiler head was blown completely
out and the boiler, engines and
trucks plowed their way through
the rear end of the building and a
partition, stopping within ten feet
of this front of the building, one
end resting on the counter. the
other on the floor. The building
is so feet long, SO that this mass
was trucked about 100 feet, the
wheels remaing under the machine
until near the end, when one pair
left it, throwing one end up on the
The damage was all done by the
steam and hot water, no
flying missiles or pieces being re-
ported. 1t is mystery how the
steam and hot water could reach
