President and Mrs. Roosevelt are
expected to open the season with re-

A SURVIVOR
* OF 1872

The last surviving veteran of the
war of 1912 Is Hiram Cronk of North
western, Oneida county, N. Y. who
celebrated his 101st birthday recently.
Mr.. Cronk was born in Frankfort.
Herk!;sss9 county. ~ Y, in 1900 His
father was the son of James Cronk,
who was the grendson of Captain
James Cronk of Crolkhite, who came
from Holland in 1742 James Cronk-
hite was commissioned a captain in
October. i775, and served in the war
OF the revolution. His daughter mar
ried Abraham Depew. grandfather of
Senator Chauncey Depew. Jacob. the
brother of Captain James Cronkhlte,
was killed in the battle of Bennington.
The other brother, Caspar, returned
10 Holland in 1777, and two years
later died. leaving an estate valued
at S12,07 0000. This family estate H.
nally passed into the possession of the
government of Holland. and although
the heirs remaining in America made
strenuous efforts 20 prove their right
to the estate, they were unsuccessful.
Enlisted when Only Thirteen.
Hiram Cronk was in his thirteenth
year when he enlisted in the United
States army and took part in the war
of 1912 with his father and two broth
ers, John and Jeptha. He served for
about 100 days at Sackett's Harbor.
The extreme frailty OF his physique
made him the butt of many jokes, the
soldiers alleging that If young Hiram
couldn't keep up with the others. or If
he became exhausted on the march
or wounded on the battlefield, his
coat pocket.
Young Cronk, however, possessed
more nerve than he was given credit
for. In one skirmish against the
British he behaved in sucn soldiery
manner that the captain of his COM
pany remarked that If he had COM
pany of men as full of nerve as young
Hi Cronk, he would go up into Cana
da and lick the British on their own
ground"
After the cessation of hostilities
Cronk returned to his country home
and engaged in fol owing the occupa-
ton of a shoemaker. He went about
among the country folk several times
n year making their shoes and repair
ing their old footwear.

MO FOUL PLAY.
Body of Joseph HaItom Shows no
Evidence of Murder.

The remains of Joe Haltom-the
unfortunate young man whose
mangled body was found on the
railroad track at the tank near
Bluejacket on the morning of the
7th inst. were taken up yesterday
at the instigation of his brothers,
r. w. Haltom, of Nacegdoches,
Texas, and Giles M. Haltom, of
this city, and reinterred in the
cemetery at Bluejacket. The
body was in a horribly decom-
posed state, but Notwithstanding
this fact an autopsy was held by
DR.. b. +. Fortner with the view
TO thorough investigation as to
the cause OF death. Strong sus-
picion of foul play has prevailed
at Bluejacket ever since the dis
covery of the dead body OF the
young man, but DIR. Former could
find no evidences that would bear
out such suspicion. The question
OF foul play. seems to be one of
doubt, and opinion is divided.
All investigation has failed to
produce any clue to the person or
persons, guilty of the deed, if in
deed there was murder. 1t is
clearly shown that the young man
who was travelling with young
Haltom could not be guilty OF his
murder, as he left Haltom alive
and before night on the evening Of
his death and was detained In
horse traders camp until next
morning. The mysterious action
of the young man is uneKplanable,
however, and all effort will be
made for his apprehension, in the
hope that some information may
be elected from him that will
throw some light Oh. the deplor-
able affair and probably clear up
all mystery.

EARLY POLITICS.
Democrats Stalking OLta Claim in
The New Lands.

I'll Reno, Ok. July 1.-THE
Democracy of Oklahoma, through
the Jefferson club, organized at
Oklahoma City about six weeks
ago, has made its plans for captur-
ing the county municipal organi-
cations ia the new country. A
large number of Democrats will 60
from old Oklahoma TO the new
country to engage in business and
at the same time do their utmost
to mold an anti Republican senti-
ment. The Democrats expect
the same reaction TO follow the
officeholding of Republican ap-
pointees as followed in the Cbero-
kee strip when Governor William
c. Renirow appointed the officers
for those counties. The extrava-
CANT expenditures of Democratic
ofiiceholders in the Cherokee strip
aroused such resentment among
citizens of all parties that the
Democratic party was discredited
and turned down in communities
that, from natural conditions,
should have been Democratic.
The Republicans quickly took ad-
vantage of opportunities and the
strip ever since has piled up Re-
publicsn msjorities that could not
have been secured had the first
Democrat county adminirtrations
been without reproach Che Re-
publicans are not asleep, however,
and some OF the best workers of
the party will 60 from old Okla

premacy will be hardest.

TALK OF ENJOINING
The City From Drilling the Well
Made by Those who Want TO
see the Public Fount Built
From Private Purses and not
Public Funds.

The one topic OF discussion
amongst the business men and city
officials today, is how and whore
to build the proposed public ar
tesian we'll. The immediate me-
cessity of having such water
leupply is recognized by all, but
THE measures to be adapted for it's
establishment has developed into
q tri-party discussion, that un-
fortunately threatens to delay the
work.
The majority oithose interested
seem to favor the original idea of
making it bona fide, public in
|lstitution. They think that the
Expense incurred should come
wholly from the public funds, and
that the well should be located in
lhe most travelled section Of the
bpsiness quarter of the town..
- 9th ers have expressed their
Willingness TO contribute to the
fund necessary TO meet the eK-
psnse Of drilling, if they are al
4 lowed the privilege OF naming it's
location. This, it is claimed by
The others, would make the well
but quasi public institution, and
would result in its being placed at
some point contiguous to the con-
tributor's property, without re-
{ gard to public convenience.
Others who are in helpless
minority, advocate South Park,
with the added feature of public
bath, as the proper thing TO do.
District Attorney p. L. Soper,
who strenously advocates inanc-
ing the proposed work by public
subscription alone, is reported
10 have threatened to take
Che matter into the courts. if
the public funds are diverted
for that purpose, and enjoin the
city from drilling a we'll. Such
action on the part OF Mr.. Soper
would be very unfortunate as it
would at least delay the COM
mencement of the work. while the
Question of whether an incorporat-
ed town has a right to legislate for
itself, was being determined by
United States court.
A meeting of the city council
will be held tonight, when re-
port will be rendered by the COM
mitteeappointed several days ago
TO select a site. In case the COM
mittee can be brought to an agree
ment, provisions will at once be
made to begin work, and to meet
any legal tangles that may devei-
ope.
