which has been made a part Of the IN

may be removed for the non payment OF

are nothing when compared with the
funds which the tribes have been re-

The collection OF these taxes is regarded
as absolutely necessary to the mainte-

ACTED UNLIKE JOSEPH
Queer Case in Oklahoma over the
Possession OF Child.

Guthrie. 0. T, Dec. 22-The Peoples
Voice. published at Norman, says: Last
Monday a rather remarkable case was
tried in the probate court in this city be-
fore Judge Williams. The facts in the
case as CLEANED are as follows: In 1895
the wife of Mr.. c. B. Woodring on her
deathbed gave her infant child, with its
fathers consent, to Mrs. P. NJ. WoOdring
to raise as her own, Mr.. and Mrs. Wood
ring having 10 children of their own.
Everything went along lovely until a
short time ago when Mr.. and Mrs.
Woodring decided TO move TO Roger Mills
county, and on their way to their new
home, in passing through Norman, the
adopted mother Of the child learned that
her father, Mr. c. B. Woodring, was get
ting habeas corpus papers to take the
child away from her. The adopted moth
er at once secured livery team and
drove with the child into the Chickasaw
nation to escape the writ, but unlike
Joseph. who fed with aMry in olden
times to escape Herod, the husband did
not accompany her, but remained in
Norman to look after the shipping Of
household effects and the writ was serv-
ed on him to produce the child. His fail
ure to do so brought him into court
where ne was tried for indirect contempt
of court and fined $40 and costs His at
torneys, Jackson & Newell, have taken
an appeal to the district court
A slightly different version is given by
the Democrat-Topic which says: "In
the probate court Monday habeas corpus
proceedings against P. NJ Woodring TO
recover Ionic, the little 5-year-oId son of
c. B. Woodring, brother Of the defen-
dant, was tried The story Of the case
as brought out at the trial showed that
the first wife of c. B. Woodring, a few
days prior to her death, and fully con
scious Of what the result Of her sickness
would be- gave her baby boy, a few
months old, to Mr.. and Mrs. P NJ. Wood
ring. 1t appears that about four years
afterward the brothers quarreled over an
estate and c. 3. Woodring tried to re-
cover his child. Having no children Of
their own, P NJ Woodring and wife re-
fused to give the little one up. having
grown attached to him. The case then
went to law. and Mrs. P. NJ. Woodring,
acting upon legal advice, hurriedly left
Cleveland county to avoid the habeas Ger
pus proceedings. She is now in Roger
Mills county with the child. Soon after
her departure the husband was arrested
charged with being implicated in getting
the child beyond the county's jurisdic-
ton. At the trial Monday he was found
guilty ana fined So"

Omaha platform lines, saying: THE
Peoples party territorial executive com
mittee met in Oklahoma City last Mon
day and talked over the political situa-
ton in the territory. It was decided that
a general conference Of all the voters in
the territory who favor the reforms as
set forth in the Omaha and Cincinnati
platforms and who favor severing all en-
tangling alliances with the old political
parties, should be held in the city Of
Guthrie some time in February, 1901, to
perfect a new territorial organization of
the reform forces and to take steps to
renew the educational work along the re-
form lines as laid down at Omaha and
Cincinnati. In the meantime it IS urged
that the reformers i'm the several c0un-
ties hold a mass convention in the re-
spective county seats throughout the ter
ritory and perfect a county organization.
and that the county chairmen subdivida
their respective counties into seven d.
visions and appoint an organizer in each
division, sending name and postofice ad-
dresses or organizers appointed TO the
Peoples Voice Office at Norman, o. T.
Before the next election the reform forces
in this territory should be organized I'm
der the plan adopted at Cincinnati last
May and if so organized they viii be
victorious at the polls. The sentiment in
this territory is Overwhelmingly for the

YOUNG MAN HAS DISAPPEARED
Reported That Lewis Chambers IS

Guthrie, 0. T., Dec. ga special to the
Capital from Blackwell says: Lewis
Chambers, a young married man about
q years old and of good moral habits,
quietly and mysteriously disappeared
from our city last Monday forenoon.
For the past year he has been employ
ed in his brothers printing Office, the
Kay County Sun, and about ten days be-
fore his disappearance his wife went to
Pond Creek, O. T., to visit with her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. McCray.
Upon her return home in the city Mon
day afternoon her husband was nowhere
to be found She does not know what to
do nor think Of his irrational act She
does not think he has left her for good,
nor does she think he has left her at
ALL but thinks that foul play or murder
has been the means Of his disappearance
He was to have begun the erection Of
q residence in this city this week with
the S175 he drew from the bank and his
father-ln-law, Mr.. McCray, came over
from Pond Creek Tuesday with the in
tention Of putting up the house for him
His wife is distracted. almost crazy, ana
says she don't see how she can endure
the suspense much longer.
The supposition is that he has gone to
California to make q stake as he would
say to the foreman Of the Office, How
would you like to be in California to
day?' and oftimes repeated the above
question during the day for two or three
weeks until the California fever go such
hold on him that he could not resist
temptation longer, but got his clothes
drew his money and quietly left the city
and his beautiful little wife behind
It is also rumored that the Chickasha
