There was a dance at the Calvery home

drinking, began fighting Morrison, and
John, it is said, cut him in the lower
part CT the abdomen with C knife
Morrison is now at the Calvery home in

MADE HUSBAND FEEL BAD.
TO Have His Wife's Forbid Stuck In
der His Nose.

Guthrie, O. r., Nov. 23.-An unusul in
cident relative to the sale of liquor to an
excessive drinker, is related in the Still
water Gazette. According to the Gazette
some time since a lady came to town
and had legal notice served on the
saloons not to sell her husband any more
intoxicants. Just previous to this her
husband who is a farmer living d few
miles from town, had INDUCED in a 'whiz
of several days duration, during which
time he was thrown into the city cooler
a couple of times and had had an eX-
pensive visit TO the police court. Nat
uraHy the wife felt indignant and no
doubt very much Inundated on account
Of such conduct and came TO town, with
the result already mentioned.
She was in town again today making
an effort to undo the good work she had
done. She applied to the police judge for
the return of the notices from the saloon
keepers. but was told that this would
not help the matter at all: that the
saloons had been notified legally and
would have TO remain so. The husbands
chief objections seems to be that they
stick those notices in his face every time
he goes into saloon

Contention About the New Gas Well

Guthrie. O. T., Nov. 23.-Reporting
BlackweTs second attempt for gas the
Record of that city says: The new hole
is to be 10 feet from the old one, and
some of our people think they are max
ing a mistake in drilling 50 close to the
old well, fearing that they viii have to
contend with the same heavy vein of salt
water struck in the old hole. The con-
tractors were paid Ss75 for the work done
on the old hole. and are to bore the new
well under the original contract. 2,000
feet If necessary. We hope that, with the
knowledge gained by their work in the
other hole. that the new one may be put
down without so many aggravating in
terruptions. and that they viii succeed
in striking even a stronger flow Of gas
than in the first hole. The contractors
are sanguine that they viii strike the
same flow of gas at the same depth. and
possibly better veins at a greater depth.
The old hole was less than 500 feet, at
its greatest depth"

dest affairs we have heard of lately. was
The death of Cora Profits little baby last
Friday. Mrs. Sue Profit and daughter,
Cora. living three miles northwest Of
Britton, drove over TO Mr.. /. c. Halow's
last Friday to visit during the day TAX
ing the daughters little three-months-old
baby with them. The weather being
rather cold the baby was securely wrap
ped up in blanket and shawl. On ar
irving at Mr.. Harlows the baby was laid
on bed while the mother assisted in
unhitching the team as there were no
men folks at the house at that time.
Imagine the grief Of all when they went
to look at the baby and discovered that
it was dead. The body was still warm.
The mother. who was holding the baby
on her lap on the way over said it began
TO cry when they were about a mile and
a half from Mr.. Harlows place, but
after nursing it a while the baby be-
came quiet From al indications the child
was accidentally smOthered to death. No
blame can be attached to anyone for its
death.
It's death recalls another sad event in
the life of the mother. and could her
friends get hold Of the one who is re-

Guthrie, o. T, Nov. 2S.-Robert Nen, Of
Kay county, thinks that Democratic or
ganization in Oklahoma is woefuny in
sufficient and that the Democrats cant
count on victory until they throw out the

There has never been made a proper
effort TO get out the fun vote in the
strong anti-Republican counties Of Okla

Keaton something less, and Neff a ma
jority OF a little over 500 In Pottawat-
omie county there's an anti-Republican
majority Of fully 1,500 and so it is IN other
counties.
There has never been a proper system
Of organization in this territory. There
have been too many cliques and factions,
and too many to the rule or ruin fell
lows for the squirt OF harmony to even
find a temporary roosting place. The
territory is now old enough and the peo-
pie sufficiently acquainted to relegate
few chronic kickers 10 the rear. Pick
out men for party advisers and organ

the deceased stopped at the saloon, took
a drink and when about TO leave asked
Paisley, one OF the bar-tenders, if he
owed anything. Paisley said not, when
the defendant, from whom he had got
ten the drink, spoke up and said: He
owes the bar ten cents. This seemed to
enrage Donahue, who applied some vile
epithets To Thurman, who told him to
leave the house, but instead of doing SO
he whipped out a gun, pointed it at de-
PENDANT. and with an oath said he was
going to kill him, and attempted TO pull
the trigger, but for some reason or other
the gun would not go of. Thurman, who
was behind the counter. with both Ell
bows leaning on the bar. when the de-
ceased pulled the gun on him, quickly
reached under the bar, got a gun and
fired, the bali striking Donahue in the
eye and killing him instantly. All the
testimony showed Donahue to be the ag-
gressor, and that Thurman simply shot

ing the evidence, found that it was justi-
fable homicide, and discharged the de-

Drew Poor Number at Ell
Reno but Got Fine Claim.
NAP WAS MARKED WRONG
He Took a Piece, Appealed TO
Washington and Won.

Guthrie, o. T, Nov. 23.-Lt is reported
here that W e Franklin, of South Ha-
ven township, Sumner county, Kansas,
was luckier in the FL Reno drawing for
lands in more senses than one. Accord
ing to the story, he has secured one Of
the finest claims in the FL Reno district,
after getting a number in the drawing so
high up and near the end that there was
little left worth fling on. apparently,
when mis- time came. Just as he was
leaving Fl Reno, having made up his
mind to throw up his chance altogether,
he got a tip that there was a valuable
claim on the Washita bottoms that had
been covered up on the land office map.
He found, on investigation, that the land
had been marked off on the map as an
Indian allotment, but close scrutiny
showed it had been done in different
ink He demanded TO see the records Of
the office They showed no entry against
the land whatever. lie offered a fling,
which was rejected, and Immediately
took an appeal TO the department at
Washington. Congressman Long and
Curtis We're induced to see that his appeal
received prompt attention, and in a short
time he received notice from the secre-
tary Of the interior that the land was
clear and his fling would be allowed
Mr. Franklin took the first train for FL
Reno. made his fling, and on going out
10 see the claim found he had secured
IS7 acres of choice bottom land, lying
in a bend of the Washita river. 1t had
several dug-outs and foundations for
houses upon it, where people had settled
on it the night Of October 9Th. Mr..
Franklin says the land as it stands is
easily worth 5000 and is saleable at
these figures The claim would have

thus been selected IL would have been i'm
possible TO have secured them and the
territory would have been at a consid-
cradle loss, as it hardly seems probable
that there viii be opened or added TO this
territory any further reservations in
which 50 large = body Of land could be
secured.
The reservation made by the president
and designated as the Wichita Forest
Reservation. was made subsequent 70 the
tirre OF selecting the lands lost in the
other reservations in the Kiowa country.
and was made at such late date that
it was impossible TO select lands in lieu
of those lost in this reservation. The ter
ritory is therefore entitled TO some 6.e00
acres in place OF those so lost
In addition 10 the above the territory
is stiu entitled to about 1000 acres for
loss Of land from various causes.
Immediately upon the securing of these
lands preparations were made for their
leasing The board for leasing school
land profting by the experience in the
easing of the Cherokee outlet. concluded
that these lands should be viewed in an
accurate report made Of each quarter
section and rental value placed on each
piece. this appraisal rental value TO be
in proportion with the same quality Of
lands in other and adjacent parts Of the
territory.
After appraising the lands at a fair rem
tai value provision has been made
the lands shall be advertised
and subjected to competitive bids, and
each tract shall then be awarded to the
highest bidder for term of three years.
The amount which the applicant bids
over the appraised rental value TO be
paid in cash and to accompany the ap-
piication. The balance of the rental is to
be paid in the same manner and time as
the rental of other lands in the terri
tory. In this manner no lands are rented
for less than their value. and an equality
and correct ratio for rental is preserved.
In selecting the indemnity lands care
was taken to make a proper distribution
so that school districts will not suffer
eventually by the loss CT taxable prop
erty. These lands will be leased when in
a grazing district by sections. or tracts
IF more than sections. according to the
nature OF the land and the supply of
water.

LITTLE BOY SHOOTS MOTHER.

Buckshot

Guthrie. O. T., Nov "a shooting
accident in the house of Dan Erbey near
Tonkawa, is reported by the Blackwell
Sun. His eldest son had borrowed
shotgun and laid it on the bed IN
room adjoining the kitchen. II was un-
loaded. The youngest child saw the
weapon and began playing with II dur
ing the brothers absence. When the
young man returned he heavily loaded
the gun with buckshot, and laid IL down
again. The little yoUngster returned TO
play with the weapon and unconsciously
pulled the trigger. The greater portion
Of the load penetrated the wall and two
shot struck Mrs. Erbey one in the arm,
and the other in the knee.
