our dear ones suffer while awaiting the
arrival Of the doctor An Albany On W
dairyman called at drug store there for
doctor to come and see his child, then
very sick with Group. Not finding the
doctor in, he left word for him to come
at once on his return. He also bought a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
which he hoped would give some relief
until the doctor should arrive In a few
hours he returned, saying the doctor need
not come, as the child was much better
The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the
family has since recommended Cham

demand for it from that part of the

GIBSON FLIES FLAG OF TRUCE
And PrOpOsesll Protocol but Officers
viii Not Listen

Guthrie. o. T., April 21.-Andrew Gibson,
the demented man who wounded two men
Wednesday in Oklahoma county, is still
resisting arrest and at last accounts was
barricaded In his house with his Winches-
ter and 200 rounds OF ammunition. still
defies the posse to take him.
Gibson returned home some time Wed
nesday night, and yesterday morning the
officers surrounded the place, and await
ed developments. Finally Gibson shout
ed that he had a proposition to submit.
He would come to Oklahoma City and
surrender provided he was allowed to re-
tain his Winchester, and provided the
county attorney and probate judge would
guarantee to protect him from mob vio-
lence. The officers declined to treat with
Gibson and after cursing them he was
heard from no more.
Gibson's dugout is so arranged that the
only entrance is a hole in the ground
which one must get on his all tours to
crawl through. What is inside the de-
mented mans house is unknown as no
one save himself has entered it. The Of
1icers will wait for an opportunity to
take Gibson alive, but in case he attacks
them he will very likely be killed or bad
ly wounded, as the officers are now well
armed.
]. D. Couchman is resting well at his
home in this city. and Gale King is at
St. Anthony's hospital. He is also rest
ing easy.

ONE DEAD AND ONE INSANE
Result of an Arrest in Oklahoma for
COunterfeiting.

Guthrie, o. T., April 21-What was
probably a false arrest has caused one
woman to lose her life by drowning and
her husband to go insane, in Western
Oklahoma In explaining the singular
case the Weatherford Republican says:
Last Monday a certain Mr.. Clark and
Mrs. Carl Wesky, on the way to Araraho
tried to ford Barnitz creek, which at
tempt cost the life of Mrs. Wesky. The
creek was very high on account of the
heavy rains and the current was so swift
that the horse. buggy and inmates were
washed down the stream. Mr.. Clark, an
elderly man, fortunately was able to
catch on to some wire and hold himself
above water till help came. The horse
managed to land several hundred yards
below the ford. The body OF Mrs. Wesky
was not found until Tuesday afternoon, a
half mile down the creek. The unfortun-
ate woman was on her way to see her
husband who had been placed in Jail last
Saturday on the charge of passing
counterfeit money. He placed $3.50 into
the bank and $500 were announced
counterfeit It is believed now that the
money Is not counterfeit. but had been
buried. If such is the case, the hasty
charges cost the life Of the mother, which
the father is now insane over his troubles
and the death of his wife"

BRILLIANT FREE HOMES PLAN
Used in Oklahoma to Get Eastern
Manufacturers Interested.

Guthrie, 0. T.. April 21.-New plans for
the help of the free homes bill are being
discovered right along. Perhaps the most
novel is that arranged by J. w. Courtney
of Enid, who is an agent for a Michigan
manufacturing company. This company
manufactures implements which are sold
to Oklahoma farmers and Courtney wrote
them a letter asking their aid for free
homes. In return the company has taken
the matter UP with the Michigan dele
cation and is helping. Courtney's letter
TO the manufacturers reads as follows:
Gentlemen-You are probably aware that
the most important question politically
to the people of Oklahoma Is the ques-
ton Of free homes. During the last po-
litical campaign both parties, or more
properly speaking all parties, made it
plank in their platform favoring free
homes; a bill carrying these promises
into effect has been before congress al
most continuously since the opening of
the Cherokee Strip to settlement, but on
some pretense or other, has so far failed
to materialize into law to the sad detri-
ment of our people who, after continu-
Gus residence of five years on a quarter
section of land, enduring all the priva-
tons and hardships incident to frontier
life find themselves compelled to pay to
the government from one and a half to
two dollars per acre in order to obtain
a title, and our people have formed an
opinion that the platforms of political
parties are made to go>in and to serve no
other purpose. Now it occurs to me that
If the eastern manufacturers. who are
relying on this territory as a market for
their goods. would take it up with their
members in congress, much could be ac
complshed. Now. I have the honor os
your agent, and in the name Of the peo-
pie who have paid you thousands Of dol
lars. and promise to give your line such
a reception during 1900 as will break all
previous records, to say for these People,
I believe you are under some obligations.
Will you take the matter Of free homes
up with your members Of congress and
request them to give ii their support and
let me know their reply?
The answer the manufacturers sent TO
Mr.. Courtney is this: Dear Sir: Yours
of the 18th inst. calling our attention 10
the free homes bill now before congress,
received. In reply thereto We are pleased
to comply with your rquest and TO he
of any service to the people OF Oklahoma
in the cause OF free homes within our
power. We are happy TO be able TO re-
port that We have the assurance OF Sen
ators McNinen and Burrows and Repre-
sentative Ganding that they VIII support
the free homes bill. and will use their
personal influence 70 secure its passage.
