Perez became involved In quarrel with
some drunken Shawnee Indians. which
resulted in the death Of the Mexican.
Information is hard 20 obtain. 1t appears
that Perez took whisky on the ground,
became boisterous, breaking into the ring
and interfering with the dance. Several
alterations were had during the evening,
and it is said that the Indians took the
Mexican and tied him. but he broke loose.
1T is believed that he was killed about
midnight, being struck on the head with
a wagon wrench. His head was mashed
into a jelly. AS soon as the killing was
reported the crowd dispersed. The justice
of the peace for Little River township

DR.. Baird-Chinaman Sam Lee bout and
last night it was reported that some Of
Baird's friends were preparing to blow the
Chinaman UP with dynamite. The prin-
cipai scene of the fright was the Far

is said, was considerably exercised. He
made complaint and the officers We're set
to watching. but nothing developed to
prove that the suspicion was well found
ed. DR.. Baird denied having any knowl-
edge Of the threat if such was in the air,
but declared that the Chinaman should
not be allowed 10 remain in Blackwell
Three or four of Hendron's roomers were
afraid to sleep there last night. claiming
to have positive information that some
thing of this kind was to transpire.
Hendron got his Information first from
Frank Lineberger ana thinks his suspi-
cion was well founded. The officers are
working on the case and may develop
something interesting.

Chickasha, o. T., June 22-The COM

the sudden and repeated discharge Of
firearms. It was soon recognized as an
alarm Of fire and in few moments the
streets were alive with apprehensive prop
erty owners. The fire was in the mint,
conducted by Cook & Cook 1t started
from the generator which supplies gas
for the lamps. The attendant pulled out
one OF the corks and neglected to replace
it. The gas ignited and set the wall pa
per on fire. Before it could be exiting

and leaped to the ceiling BY heroic
work the fire was extingulshed before
the flames got beyond control.
1t was a close can for the entire block
between Second and Third street, but
with no water service a disastrous fire
may be expected at any time. This is a
matter the council should look after.

Especial correspondence

Harrisburg, June 1S.-As the session
Of the Legislature is drawing to a close
the members of the senate and house
are industriously working night and
day, despite the frequent hot spells,
and are making splendid progress in
clearing the calendars. While it was
for time thought that the legislature
would be able to adjourn on the 2lst
inst, it is now settled that even by
keeping up the present spirit of indus
try, the final adjournment cannot be
made until Thursday, the 9th inst,
the date fixed in the concurrent reso-
luton adopted some weeks ago.
Questions involving party policy and
the apportionment of the state into
congressional, judicial, senatorial and
representative districts are now en-
gaging the attention of the states law.
makers, along with the tremendous
task Of alloting the appropriation to
the various departments Of the state
government, to the schools and the va
rious charitable institutions and hospi,
tails Of the. commonwealth.
When the record of this legislature
shall be fully written it will be found
to compare very favorably with that OF
any session Of the general assembly Of
Pennsylvania, and in many matters it
will be deserving of exceptional praise
for the courage and devotion to the in
terests of the people displayed by ma
1ority of the senators and representa-
tives.
There are still some bitches in the
apportionment plans, but it is believed
they will be Strengthened out very
shortly.
