The Confederate cavalryman had "fee
simple title" to his horse, and therefore he
usually took good care of him, carrying
no unnecessary baggage-seldom more
than one blanket. Generally two or three
soldiers slept together
Upon a certain occasion, near Rogers
vile, where it was "a long time between
drinks" we went into camp in an open
field, Lieut.-Col. Pryor, Mai. Parker and
myself "bunking" together. As i was
a small, slender boy, they put me in the
middle" We slumbered through the en-
tire night, unconscious that heavy snow
had fallen. When day dawned l felt
that 1 was crowded and unusually
warm. Removing the blanket from my
head, the cold snow fell upon the necks
of my fright and left bowers" both of
whom, being suddenly awakened by the
shock, cried out, ugh! Ughv'
Looking about me | could see no one
stirring. The men were sleeping sound
ly and comfortably, their snow-covered
forms having the appearance of so many
inanimate logs. That experience con-
vinced me that on a cold Winter night
one could have no warmer coverlet than
a snow blanket

After the battle of Marion we remained
comparatively inactive until early in the
Spring of 1860, just before Appomattox

Miller, as l remember, near Wytheville

In this engagement, our last "armed
conflict" which was a running fight, Our
friends, the enemy" being in the lead,
we lost one man killed, Major jenkins,
a gallant youth when "knighthood was
in flower" He and his brother had left
their old Kentucky home, a home Of
wealth and luxury, to enter upon the hard
and dangerous career of soldiers in

soldier, Major jenkins, because he was
the last man l saw killed, l being near
him when he was shot from his horse.

FIRST CLASS CITY
Afva's Petition Acted Upon by Secre-
tnrV Jenkins

Guthrie, o. T., March 29.-Acting Gov
ernor Jenkins has made Alva a city Of
the first class. The petition was filed
some time ago and the action had been
anticipated. The proclamation issued is as
follows:
Whereas, an enumeration of the fl
habitants of the town of Alva, Okla
homa, as defined by town plat now on
file in the Office Of the register OF deeds
Of Woos county, said territory, together
with certain additions thereto, having
been taken in accordance with section 1,
of article 1, Of chapter "A of the statutes
of Oklahoma, and a report of the same
filed in the executive office of the terri
tory of Oklahoma, showing a population
of 2,5S5; and
Whereas, A petition signed by a ma
jority of the voters of said city having
been fled with the governor of the terri
tory praying for the organization Of said
town Of Alva as a city Of the first class;
Now, therefore, I, William NJ. Jenkins,
acting governor of the territory Of Ok
lahoma, by virtue of the authority in me
vested by the laws of the territory, do
declare and proclaim said town Of Alva,
as above described, to be city of the
first class and hereby call an election to

Effort Being Made to Compel
Him to Insert a Bill
I'M THE STATUTE BOOK
That Was Vetoed DO Governor
Barnes.

Guthrie, o. T, March 29.-Judge Bur-
ford this morning gram an alternative
writ Of mandamus. to compel Secretary
jenkins to place in the session laws Of
this year Council Bill No. so. appropriate
ing $500 for the Agricultural and Ne
chanicaI college at Saltwater, passed by
the last legislature, or show the reason
why he should not do it.
| The action is brought at the instigation
| of Senator Miller of Saltwater and is be-
! ing prosecuted by Dale & Bierer, who
represent Senator Miller in the matter.
Council Bill No. was passed during the
session of the legislature after q hard
| fight and was sent to the governor for his
! signature. After it had reached his desk
it was recalled by the council 1t was re-
turned to Governor Barnes having been
sent to him on February %. After hav-
ing hao it for d short time, Governor
Barnes vetoed it. To ease the feeling in
the matter an appropriation was made of
IS, 900 for barn and repairs on some of
the buildings.
The claim which Senator Miller makes
is that, according to the laws of Okla
homa, the bill would become law ii not
signed by the governor, and this was not
done, having Deen vetoed after the five
days limit had expired. This being the
case, the bill would become a law with
out the signature Of Governor Barnes,
and consequently the veto would not be
effective.
There are several features in the whole
matter which tend to the political and in
which the Mound Buffers measure
comes to the front again. Miler's ale
glance 10 the public building bill was
questioned, and II is stated that this had
something to do with the withdrawal of
the appropriation bin in order to find Just
where tie senator from Saltwater stood
After having determined that matter, the
bill was sent bac4- to the governor.
The whole thing involves an interesting
question. The session laws are now in
the hands of the co1.4ylng committee and
the arguments will be made tomorrow
morning on the matter. - is the opinion
of the attorneys who have interested
themselves in the matter that the bin be-
came a law without the signature of the
governor and the withdrawal of the bill
and its return did not cut any figure in
the five days limit If it should be de-
cided that the bill is a law and placed in
the session laws Of 1901 it means that the
Saltwater institution win get an appro-
prfation Of $4,000, instead Of $500.
Senator I.-Aler is in the city watching
the progress Of the matter and is work
ing to secure its success. lis is proba-
bly, the first time that such question has
been up and it win probably establish
precedent thaL will be closely watched
hereafter.

WORKING F0R AMENT
Mr sniGgs Enroute to Edmond in His
InferPa4


Guthrie, o. T., March 29.-Representa-
tive a. T. Sniggs of Alva, is in the city
looking after the matters connected with
the meeting of the board of education for
Normal schools which meets at Edmond
on next Monday, Mr.. sniggs is here in
the interest of President Ament having
been asked to attend to that part of the
work by the people of Alva. AS is well
known, there has been fight on Presi-
dent Ament and the people of Alva and
the Northwestern Territorial Normal are
anxious that he should be retained in
charge of the school. Just how the fight
originated is hard to tell, but It proDa-
bly, comes from the early fight on the
location of the school. During the last
legislature there was a bin which had a
provision that Ament should end his
work with the normal school at the
close of the years work. This was de-
INJURED to in strong language by the peo-
pie of Alva and vicinity and they are
mighty anxious to have Ament retained.
The territorial normal is recognized as
one Of the foremost educational institu-
tons in Oklahoma and has been built I'D
by the efforts Of President Ament and
his assistants. At the close Of the last
term there was an enrolment Of 502 stu
dents and this is considered remarkable
for d school OF such short age.
In talking to the correspondent for the
Eagle, Representative Sniggs said: I'VE
want the appointment OF President
Ament. This is what I am in the city
for. The people OF Alva sent me here
for that purpose. The board OF educa-
ton for normals school viii meet in Ed

completely surround the place where the
men and horses were concealed The fell
lows attempted to hide, but the officers
forced the out of the brush and they were
placed under arrest and brought into
town ard lodged in jail, where they now
are. One of them is probably a Cherokee
Indian and had in his possession $50 in
money. The other fellow is white man
