The atmosphere is so uniformity heat

hot that the rain drops would be trans

The Kansas City livestock kmarket Is
an index to the situation. The cattle mar

Receipts during the week aggregate

Guthrie, O. T.. July 1s.-sherin BIZ

Cravens and his gang in the recent safe
blowing at Coyle and Ripley and Stroud.
The arrest was accomplished through
Sheriff TiIghman, who has been on the
stin hunt for the Cravens crowd for a
long time. Tnghman had located the
men near Cleveland and sent instructions
TO the deputy at that point to be on the
watch, with the result that Cravens and
Burns were surprised at a point on the
river near Cleveland where the latter was
washing up" and his capture was easy
Cravens was seen at a short distance by
the officers but made his escape on foot
and alone into the hills where he is be
ing closely pursued by posse with little
chance of ultimate escape.
Tighman reports that Burns is an old
timer and has served in the Kansas pen
itentiary at which place he formed the
acquaintance Of Cravens. Burns confes-
sed fully to Tnghman OF his former esca-
pades and his meeting with Cravens there
and their subsequent recent crimes in Ok
lahoma. When captured Burns had in
his possession the watch and pistol taken
from the young man at Stroud at-the
time Of the attempted robbery Of the
bank at that place In his talk Burns
stated that the railroad safes at Coyls
and Ripley were robbed by himself and
Cravens assisted by two other men who
were with Cravens. being men Of his Sc
lection, and whose names were not re-
rnembered by the prisoner.

No immediate relief is expected. 1t Is
the opinion of some who experienced
the drouth in 1860 that the present dry
period promises TO be even more severe
1t is hardly expected that there will be

CONSPIRACY CASES FINISHED.
Judge Bradford Decides Conspiracy
Cases In Short Order.

GaoCS III GHOEL OEQCTH
Ardmore. I T.. July 1S.-The Morning
Appeal says that the conspiracy cases
which has engaged the attention Of Judge
Bradford for the past two days was com
pleted yesterday. Those charged IN the
complaint were one Bond. Coker. Beacher
and Coker, who it is said consplred to-
gether for the purpose of either running
the negroes on or killing them, that are
employed by Contractor Watkins out near
Province.
The evidence as cleaned from the wit
nesses IS substantially as follows:
The parties named above. went to the
camp of Mr.. Watkins and fired some
thing like one hundred shots through
the tents soaring the negroes so much
that several have LEFT and those that
have remained. have done so with the
assurance Of protection.

Legal TangIe Surrounds Titles

Clear Titles Are as Scarce as
Product Seems to Be.
is CONSULTED

Red Fork, L T., July 13.-The legal
tangle that surrounds the title to any
property near the scene of the late oil
strike at this place has caused specula-
tors to delay in investing, with the re-
suit that the boom prices that were at
first offered for the tiheless land have
dropped to low water mark.
The seeming confusion Of opinion as to
the exact laws governing the title ques-
ton in the Creek Nation, has led to OBJ
tanning the opinion Of District Attorney
Pliney L Soper on the mooted point.
AT the present time" said Mr.. Soper,
"a one years lease of 100 acres Of land
is all that can be obtained from any
Creek citizen by an alien. When, how
ever, any citizen of the Creek nation shall
have had its title certificate TO his ailot-
ment issued by the Dawes commission,
he can any time befoe the expiration Of
five years sell 100 acres subject to the
approval Of the secretary OF the interior
The remaining forty acres IS inalienable-
At the expiration Of five years he is free
TO dispose Of 120 acres, without any re-
striction whatever
This does not include. however, the
tract Of 16O acres which has been set
aside by the Dawes commission for a
tcwnsite for Red Fork, which at present
is not an incorporated town.
''NJo citizen can sell or dispose Of any
part OF this land except improvements
thereon, that were placed thereon prior
to its reservation as a townsite
This land stands as public domain
OF the Creek nation and the intercourse
act fixes the penalty of the disposal Of
any part Of it at $1,000"
This should show to any prospective
purchaser that a cloudy title IS very cas-
nv obtained in the ne vol fields, and
that clear titles are as scarce as recent
reports show the product TO be.

WORK Is SUSPENDED.
Secretary Sn1Iser Has Ceased Work
On Appraisement Of Caddo.

On Appraisemenr OF Cdcdo.
Guthrie O. T, July 13.-The Choctaw
townsite commission has suspaned work
or the appraisement of Caddo.
The cause of such suspension was the
receipt OF a letter by Secretary Smiser
on the 30 from Governor G. ~. Dukes in
structirg him not to go or with the ap-
praisement or sale Of any town noc sur
veyed and plated under the terms Of the
Atoka agreement Caddo had baen sur
] Hinkley and undere a special rule Of con-
gress.
When Secretary smlser received the
letter he quit and left Dr. Sterrett hold
ing the bag. too. so to speak The doctor
quit too and passed the townsite up 10
the Hon. J. George Wright. and is him
self awaiting instructions from Washing
ton. There is but one more town, the
! map of which passed through the hands
of the commissioners and approved by
them, and that is Poteau. It has been sp-
praised and the notices viii be sent out
and will be sold in good time, but all the
rest of the town work in the Choctaw
nation has been done under the direction
Of Mr. Hinckly. The governor holds that
a treaty is a treaty until it has been
amended or discsred by mutual consent
The taking the work out Of the hands
Of the commission was, he claims, a fla
grant violation of the Atoka agreement
and he viii stand by his rights. The
supplementary treaty offered by the
Choctaws last winter and turned down by
congress provided for the ratification Of
the work done by AIr. Hinkley. CaddO
Durant. Coalgate. Antlers. Wister. Howe
and Old Town are the towns affected by
the order. AS DR. Serrett cannot very
well proceed alone, he quit also and is
awaiting instructions from headquarters
Commissioner Smiser is surprised at the
receipt OF the order. Last winter when
the order came taking the surveys out
of the commission he protested that il
was in violation Of the treaty and he
declared that it was all wrong. He
thought that the Choctaw government
would stop it then and there and as the
work had gone so far he supposed It was
to proceed. A reporter for the Capital
called on George Manifold. one Of the at
torneys for the Choctaw nation and
asked for some information regarding the
governors intention IN the matter. but
ne said that there was nothing more TO
it than that the Atoka agreement ratified
by congress sought to be violated by that
body and the governor OF the Choctaw na-
ton wanted to live up TO. Il is the prin-
ciple more than the result that IS IN
volved In the meantime the Choctaw
towns can wait.
