FRIENDs EsTRANGED.

Chief Ki2er's fight was looked after
principally by Mr.. James " Trehy. who,
with others lighting for Chief I[izer's
retention in Office, were supporting the
straight Democratic primary ticket.
That Mr.. Trehy and Mr.. J. L. Prince
should thus be opposed to each other
shows something of the bitterness of
the fight. There was formerly no closer
political friends In Norfolk than these
two. but they were cstranecd by the
fight of yesterday. No man in Norfolk
worked harder than Mr.. Prince for MIR.
Trehy's nomination for Clerk in the
Democratic primary in April. The for

a Bitter Fight Between tho Prince Kizcr

mir. j. L. Prince and MIR. j. v. Trchy--
Political EstransSments--Big Fight In
tho First.

There was probably never another
election in Norfolk OF the peculiar
character of the one held yesterday.
Political combna tions. with the most
intricate qualifications, were plainly
felt, especially in the First Ward, where
was witnessed one of the bitterest po-
litical fights ever seen. It's bitterness
was sharply contrasted, because the
light was between erstwhile political
friends. men who had fought and work
ed together tremendously and even in
timately, in the Democratic ranks.
On the surface even it ceased to be
fight between the candidates for
Council simply for Councilmanic
honors. The real and overshadowing
fight was between two gentlemen who
would normally be entirely the back
ground. non entities. as 1t were, but
who. because of a recent deal of the
political cards, were the disturbing ele-
ments in yesterdays memorable fight in
the First Ward. The political fate Of
Chief of Police Charles G. IiiZer and
Captain of Police Nj. ii. Prince was
at stake, and both, with their friends,
were playing heavy hands to win. Both
wanted to be Chief of Police. and they
realized that, with the Councilmen from
the other wards pretty evenly divided;
the First was the fighting ground.

THE FIELD SURVEYED.

SaGacious politicians on both sides
viewed the field over and saw what
must be done to win. There were
thirteen candidates for Council from
the ward, eight of whom were to be
elected There were formerly sixteen
candidates, or two straight tickets, put
out by the Democratic primary and the
City League for Good Government re-
spectively. but three of the Good Gov
eminent candidates withdrew. They
were Messrs. James e. Mccoy Frank
Balm and II. ]. Williamson. The Ex-
ecutive Committee of the League an
nounced that the League would support
In their stead Messrs. l.. Fl. Cunning

The editor OF the Christian En-
deavor World says that the acting
chairman Of the Dawes commits
sion gave out an interview to the
Chicago Inter Ocean and quotes
the following as coming from Mr..
Bixby:
"The work OF enrolling the In
dians will be completed by the
first of the year, and the work Of
appraising the land will be finish
ed in one year from now, and the
indians will have been placed on
their allosments, drawn their SS,-
600, 900 trust fund from the United
States, and made citizens of the
United States before the snow flies
in the year 1901. Then the Indian
Territory, with 2O,OOO,0OO acres OF
land. will be thrown into the hands
Of the whites, as all the Indians
will either sell or rent their allot-
ments, and it will be added as a
state to the union"

statement be should Immediately

SETTLERS COMING.
From st. Louis the Road is Dotted
With Wagons Headed This Way.

Frank O'Connell, representing
one OF the theatrical companies
owned by VIM. A. Brady, manager
of James ]. Jeffries, passed
through the city at noon today
over the Frisco road on his way to
Oklahoma.
Mr.. O'Connell said that the next
championship fight would prob
ably be between Jeffries and
Sharkey, as Fitzsimmaps seemed
loath to meet the big fellow and
Corbett placed too many obstacles
in the way of a meeting.
Jeffries, he stated, is playing TO
crowded houses in the east in his
new play, "a Man From the
West" which was written espec-
tally with a view of showing of
the wonderful physical develop
ment Of the California boiler.
maker.
"All along the line" said Mr..
O'Connell, ''from St. Louis wher-
ever the pike ran near to the rail-
road tracks we could see wagons
laden with furniture, household
effects and children all bound for
Indian territory and Oklahoma.
Many hundreds in the states OF
Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, now
that their seasons crops are in,
are pulling stakes and heading this
way. If your towns and country
continue to increase in population
and development as they have
done, it will not be many seasons
before the very highest class attrac-
tions will be presented for the
amusement OF your people in new
opera houses that are sure to be
built"

CARNIVAL OF BLOOD.
Ten Deaths by Violence Was the Rec
ord for the Past Week.

During the past week there has
been quite a carnival OF crime IN
the territory. Ten persons met
with violent deaths since last
Thursday morning, all Of the kill
ings being reported in The Chief
tain the issue following.
When grouped under a review
Of the week, however, they form
a startling array.
Last Thursday a negro named
Johnson was killed near Berwyn.
Jim Rivers, another negro, has
been jailed for the offense. Mon
day last Thomas Owen shot and
mortally wounded Noah Wits.
Robert Gentry armed himself and
went hunting for City Marshal
Baker at Checotah. He found him
but the marshal got the drop and
killed Gentry. Near Choska a
brutal negro named Will Williams
shot and killed an Indian girl.
Near Alahambra, Chickasaw ma
tion, Lon Polk went to collect farm
rent from a tenant named Day. A
row ensued; guns were drawn;
Day is dead.
Jim Neal was fatally wounded
by shot from Tom Douglas pis-
tol at Chouteau and a boy named
Catalina was run over and horribly
mutilated by Katy train near
Lehigh. AT Muskogee Jim Scott
and L. Butler, full blooded Creek
Indians, are in Jail charged with
having killed Peter King, another
full blood, last Saturday near
Okmulgee.
On Pryor creek father named
Fincher was showing a shotgun to
his brother. IL was accidentally
discharged, the shot instantly kill
ing his 6-year.old boy. The un-
fortunate parent is crazed with
grief.
Near Wagner Monday m irning
the dead body Of Eli Peel was
found near the railroad tracks,
mangled almost beyond recogni-
tion. He had gunshot wound in
one hand and possibly others that
could not be located.

MK&T Reduces Rates in Indian
Territory

Ever since the construction OF the
NJ. K. & T. Ry. through the Indian
Territory its local passenger rate be-
tween stations in the Indian Terri
tory has been on the basis OF five cents
a mile. The customary rate Of pas
senger fares on railroads except in
sparsely settled country, is three
cents a mile. The population OF the
Indian Territory has grown rapidly;
there has been large increase OF
passenger traffic on this account, and
the Katy officials, recognizing the
wants OF the people and the justice Of
so doing, have voluntarily arranged
to reduce the local passenger rate to
a basis Of three cents mile. This
reduction will take effect about Nov
ember first. There will be great re-
joicing among the residents along
the line Of the NJ. X. st.
