ERROR IN REGISTRATION
Says the Envelopes Should
Have Been Used.
PAPERS STUCK ON HOOKS
Some AIIege That They Saw
Them Blow Away

Oklahoma City, July 27.-The Oklaho-
man of this city prints the following:
1t is probable that on the 9Th day Of
August, 1901. when the Kiowa-Comanche
reservations are opened for settlement
by proclamation by the president, there
Will be a run of homeseekers to settle
upon claims in the new country, and it is
absolutely certain that there viii be a
tangle in connection with the opening
under any circumstances.
c. c. Holland, of the legal staff Of the
war department was in this city yester-
day enroute to FL Reno and the new
country to act rs counsel for those per
sons who settle the lands Of the new
country by a run on the 9Th Of August.
Attorney Holland maintains that the
registration has not been carried out ac-
cording to the specifications Of the presi-
dents proclamation, and while the inter
Tor department will back the work Of it's
employees. the whole registration is bound
to be adjudged null and void by the
courts.
He is prepared to prove by hundreds Of
persons that the intent OF the proclama-
ton was violated by neglect of the regis
tration officials to have envelopes on hand
in which to place the registration slips
as soon as made out. The stationery was
on hand at Washington and was obtain

laid loosely on the tables-and numbers
of persons will swear to seeing their
papers blown away and lost, which fact
of itself will render the registration void.
Attorney Holland is in possession of
other evidence showing the registration
to be illegal, and says he feels absolutely
certain the courts will sustain him in an
action to test the matter, which he thinks
is inevitable.

Alva, o. T, July 27.-The Courier says:
Farmer James P. Candy, the erndite SEN
ator from the short grass land. has a
farm near AIva and has had some unique
experiences in farming. Recently he ha-.
an old dominicker hen to steal nine young
kittens from their mother, drive the moth
er cat entirely away and established her
self over them and begin sitting as though
they were so many eggs. At about the
time the kittens had had enough OF this
and were almost dead the senator-farmer
discovered the situation and rescued the
young unfortunates from the over-zealous
hen. Mr.. Candy also had three turkeys
on his farm, one gobbler and two hens,
and after the hens had lad a nest full of
eggs and began sitting they each died,
whereupon the gobbler gathered the eggs
intoa nest and commenced sitting upon
them and at the present time IS still sit
ting upon and lowering the eggs as well
as the best mother In the Rorld could do.
jim says the only thing that worries him
is the question that If the gobbler hatch

ALL KINDS OF CRAFTS.
How Passengers Were Done Up On
ChoctaW Road.


Oklahoma City. 0. T. July 3.-There
have been a number Of peculiar frauds
practiced on the travellers on the roads
IN the territory since the FL Reno rush
began a few weeks ago and some OF them
are unique from the nerve that has been
displayed in their execution. About the
boldest was practiced a few days ago on
a Choctaw excursion train to Fl Reno.
A man went through two coaches at the
rear OF the train after It had passed out
OF the yard limits and commenced to col
lect fares from the passengers, any old
thing from a ticket TO 50 cents. the regu-
lar fare or a dollar suited him and after
he had finished the cars he walked IL
and took a seat with the other passen-
gers. The regular conductors came
through later and were met with the
statement from most Of the passengers
that they had paid their fares and upon
inquiry they were shown the bogus coli
lector cooIly enjoying a cigar IN two
seats. They demanded the money from
him and were refused. which provoked a
fight. and after the conductor had besred
the collector and thrown him OF the
train, the fares were again collected from
those who had paid.
Another graft showed Up yesterday
when parties circulated amongst prospec-
tive passengers at the depot and sold
them conductors slips az al prices The
number q suckers who thought ~ beat
the ranway was large and the Erafters
took ia several dollars before the tra.l

Tragedy in Iowa.
Blackwell. 0. T, July 27.-The Sun

" viii remember Fred Fourhelm. who
took a claim IN the vicinity OF Braman
and after living there a couple OF years
returned TO his former home near Bart
lett. Ia. = late dispatch from Glenwood
conveys the intelligence that. actuate5 BY
jealousy, he murdered his wife, c years
old stepson, cut the throat of his favorite
horse, stationed his wagon and buggy
against the house which he set on FIRE,
and then blew out his brains with shot
gun. Owing 20 the fact that no witness
is left many OF the details Of the tragedy
must be surmised. It is thought that
jealousy, insane and totally gToundless.
prompted the butchery. Mrs. Fourhelm
had been previously married and had
son by her former husband. Fourhelm
was jealous of this boy and the child
was the innocent cause OF violent quar-
rels. Fourhelm was married in this
country shortly before he sold out and
his wife, formerly Of Wichita died. When
he went back to iowa he married the
woman who became the victim Of his IN
sanity.
