ton bill and the same will become
a law at once. The measure pro.
vides among other clauses that
foreign interpretations may be
authorized to do business in the
Indian Territory, under certain
limitations and restrictions. The
section with reference to bank
corporations provides as follows;
"That any bank now OF hereafter
organized aud doing business in
the Indian Territory may loan
money and contract for the pay
ment OF the same at a rate Of
interest not to exceed ten per
centum per snnum, aud a like
rate for a period of less than a
year.
Any bank that contracts for
more than ten per centum per
annum shall forfeit the interest
only upon usury being pleaded:
provided that the lawful interest
in said territory shall be six per
centum when no rate Of interest is
agreed upon, but in no case shall
the interest be more than ten per
centum per annum.
The United States courts in the
Indian Territory are given the
same jurisdiction as are exercised
by the courts of the state Of Arkan-
sas over corporations created
therein under the provision of any
law in force in that state relating
to corporations.

PRorEcTION FROM FIRE.

There are few towns in the In.
dian Territory of the population or
pretentions of Vinita with the
available water supply Of the town
that run the risk Of destructive
fres by not putting in a system Of
waterworks. A fire on Wilson
street on a dry, windy day or night
would devour the labor Of years in
few minutes. The fire insurance
rates are ruinous largely because
of the want of protection from
devastating fires. With the water
from two strong artesian wells
flowing unused toward the sea it is
little lees than folly TO remain
without protection. An efficient
system of waterworks would en-.
hance the value of every piece of
property in the place, aad make
more solvent every business enter
prise. While we are iussing like
children who shall own the plant,
we are needlessly exposed to the
devouring element. The argument
of those who oppose waterworks is
puerile in the extreme aud does
not deserve serious consideration

persuaded to leave by Foreman
before he finished the work OF
butchering the old man.
Deputy Marshal Webb, of this
city, went after the oife nders and
chased Beck, who had Joined
Thompson, across the mountains.
The officer brought Foreman back
and he had a preliminary examin.
alton on a charge OF being an ac-
cessory to the crime of murder but
was not held.
Clarke Thompson was seriously
wounded in a brush with officers
and is now hidden in one of the
mountain Businesses. From the
mountains Beck, who was only 23
years old, sent word to his father
that If be did not send him $500
he would kill him on sight. Fear.
ing for his life old man Beck took
his family into Arkansas.
A large posse of officers and citi-
zens pursued Beck for several days,
but he succeeded in eluding them
in spite Of the fact that a reward
of $3.50 had been offered for bis
capture, dead or alive. The find
ing of Beck was purely accidental,
Marshal Hill, who is also assist
ant deputy United States marshal
under the regular deputy, James
Daniel, went to Maysville Friday
and captured a whisky peddler,
Late in the afternoon Hill got
word that Beck was at a distillery
in the outskirts of town. Hastily
summoning a posse he had the dis
tillery surrounded As soon al
the men approached the building
Beck ran out, mounted his horse
and dashed away. Instead oil

THE WATERwORKs.

The water works proposition is
not a hard problem. The only
question at ifsue is whether the
whole people Of Vinita, the rich
and the poor alike, shall be taxed
to erect a system Of waterworks for
Ninita, or whether those having
money to invest be allowed to put
up the money and take the risks.
The city should control but not
own them is the judgment Of the
Chieftain. The people have taxes
enough to pay when they have
kept up their schools, and paid
municipal expenses. Let those
who have the cash to invest put
their money into waterworks or
anything else that is good for the
town. The dog.in.the-manger
policy will never make the town
bigger or business better. Under
public ownership the washer.
women of Vinita would be called
upon to contribute to a public
utility that would only benefit the
large property owner and the bus
mess people. Let these people
put in the waterworks if they
want to and at their own expense,
