which has a racial feature that is inter-
esting. At Pauls Valley, recengly the
story goes, q negro deputy United States
marshal had a white man under arrest.
in the depot. a citizen Of PauIs Valley
whispered TO a companion that he would
hate to be arrested and drilled about BY a
damned negro officer. 1t is claimed that
the negro deputy pulled a Winchester on
the man who made the remark and cussed
him. This caused a sensation particularly
among the women present. The white
man went up town, swOre out a warrant
for the deputys arrest; the city marshal
attempted TO serve Il and the deputy
threatened TO shoot him; he called for
re-inforcements and the white citizens OF
the town armed themselves and swOped
down on the negro. Just at this time
Deputy Marshal Foss appeared, took the
negro deputy to the mayors Office
and made bond, then turned the prisoner
over to him again and told him 70 pro-
coed. The next day Hammer came up
from Ardmore and ''cussed' several of
the citizens. The negro deputy was fined
SO. The white people of the community
are incensed and have passed resolu-
tons cOndemning Hammer, Foss and the
negro, asked President Mckinley TO re-
move them, and have appealed 10 all the
people OF the Indian territory to take
the matter up. which they are doing with
unanimity. The fight is liable to be very
interesting
