The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1901-04-17

The pathetic agony of the
members of the party was pitt
able to witness, but Mr.. and
Mrs. Cole, with several neigh
bors, did all in their power to
assuage their grief.
The railroad company i'm
mediately provided transporta-
tion and summoned Drs. Fort
ner and Bagby from this city,
and Dr.. G. r. r. Smith from
Bluejacket- The medical gen
tlemen found that the woman's
right shoulder was dislocated,
her body about the stomach
and breast crushed, with sew
eral cuts and abrasions about
the head. They reduced the
dislocation and made the un-
conscious sufferer as comfort
able as possible. Slim Jim was
crushed about the hips, the
pelvic bone being badly frac-
tured as was the bone of his
right leg Blood flowed freely
from a deep cut in his side. He,
too, received the tender and
careful ministrations of the
medical gentlemen.
At midnight the physicians
returned to the track with the
intention Of "hagging" the
north bound train and riding to
Bluejacket. Gus Muropulos,
who attended the Vinita sur
geons in the capacity of instru-
ment bearer and assistant, evi-
IDENTIFY cast a spell on the for
tunes of the gentlemen. As
the train loomed in sight, by
some hoo-doo or other, the Ian
tern light went out and weary
walk to Bluejacket, lasting un-
til 2 a. M, was necessitated.
Because of his evil influence
Gus was compelled to walk in
the muddiest places and carry
a 40-pound valise of surgical
instruments and other medical
peraphernalia.
The injured and dead In
dians spent several hours in
Vinita yesterday afternoon
making quite extensive purch-
ases. The wagon in which
the Wilson's rode was fitted
with a new cover yesterday by
Lee Barrett.

Single Men Organize.

After several months of inactivity
the Washington Red Cedar Single
Manufacturers association met at
Seattle Saturday and effected reor-
ganization. A schedule of prices was
fixed, which the members are pledged
to maintain. The price for stars is
$l.4O per thousand, and the clears
$l.6O per thousand, these being the
principal grades. Several members
emphatically demanded prices at least
five points higher, but they were voted
down. 1t was decided to allow the
manufacturers to settle with brokers
and dealers as to what commissions
shall be paid. Commissions average
10 cents per thousand. Letters and
kilograms from 115 mills were read
endorsing the association, and the
members declared the outlook for con-
certed and harmonious action to be
brighter than ever before.

Ex-senator Wilson'S Good Advice.

Ex-United States Senator John L.
Wilson delivered an address before
the Olympia high school last week.
Here are some of the good things he
said: He began with a quotation
from Shakespeare, "Above all to thine
own self be true" Continuing he
expressed the belief that the Pacific
coast, in the near future, is to become
the center of empire and be a grand

are ready to grasp the opportunity
when the time comes and push; but,
said he, there is and will be no place
for the cigarette boys. He advised all
young men who are shaping their
course in life to "avoid politics as they
might the bubonic plague; politics
ruins more men than il benefits. ("
Passing, he said: "Be economic
Americans are splendid workers and
earners, but as whole they are such
magnificent spenders thai the hard

ness at the end OF q long life."
