FOR AIDING DAVIS
To Kill Jack Caulkins--- Some of Etch-
ings' Friends Wanted to Inform
Him in Time to Escape but
Marshal Thompson
Fooled Them.

Monday the grandjury presented
indictments against Jeff Davis and
lave Etchings for murder arising
from the killing OF Jack Caulkins
at Collinsville several weeks ago.
Davis skipped out but was cap
tured at San Barnadino, Cal.
Etchings' Indictment was not
wholly unexpected and be had
made arrangements to De informed
at once in case true bill was
found against him.
When the indictment was pre-
sented Deputy Marshal Pleasure
Thompson started after Etchings
and, ascertaining that some OF the
latter's friends were about to leave
the city, went to Wagner and
from there reached Claremore
ahead Of the would.be informants.
@The officer at once procured a
conveyance and started in a race
to Collinsville and reached there
two hours in advance of Etchings'
friends.
The arrest was made quietly and
the accused was brought to the
holdover this morning. He ap-
peared to be surprised that such a
charge could be brought against
him.
Etchings was manager of a gamb-
ling house for Davis. The testi-
mony presented to the grand jury
was 10 the effect that he secured
two pistols; gave Davis one and
stood off with the other friend of
Caulkins when the latter was killed
by Davis.
Etchings stated today that he
would procure an attorney and at
tempt to secure his release on bail.
No officer has, as yet, been sent to
California for Davis.

A CAKEWALK.
And Other Specialties Besides nusic
Tomorrow Night.

Society, in all it's fine raiment,
will be entertained tomorrow night
with music-instrumental, vocal,
humorous, pathetic, good but no
bad.
Every thinking person realizes
the value of band to a town the
size of Vinita, and everyone of
those thinking people desire to
have the local band surpass every
other band in the southwest.
The boys are capable and will
ing, but they need money. The
entertainment tomorrow night is
for the purpose of raising money
to better their complement.
A splendid program has been
arranged-not all music and song
but plenty of specialties and, not
ably a cakewalk-to amuse one.
Not to attend the entertainment,
at which the most cultured talent
of the city will take part, is to ad-
NIT that either sickness or some
pressing engagement has kept you
away or that you do not care for
the advancement of one the towns
institutions.
All the different church denomi-
nations whom the band have so
willingly helped on numerous oc-
casions should, without fail, turn
out in full force tomorrow night.

The local market is on the ad-
vance, the execrable roads pre-
venting many farmers from bring
ing in produce.
Up to noon today one of the
largest shelters in the city had on
Ily received a single load Of
corn. During the rain yesterday
the shelters caught up in their
work and today are comparatively
idle. A few days Of dry weather
will SO improve the roads that the
town will be flooded with corn
Purchasers are now paying % cts
for either white or yellow although
throughout the season they have
paid the growers but 25 or 26 cts.
If the latter price has been fair
during the past months the present
price Of % cents is boon to the
farmers because the condition of
the northern grain markets does
not warrant a rise at this time.
The entrance a short time ago of
Mr.. Bracket in the field as
heavy purchaser has made'rivalry
keen and to him can be directly
attributed the better price farmers
are now receiving.
A rising market always makes
the commission men, as we'll as
the producer, happy. In conse-
quence, today, Emmett Rea's ha-
bitual smile has broadened. Poul-
try is cent and a cent-and-a-half
higher per pound today than yes
terday and eggs have gone up
from 13c to 14c dozen.

LEGEND OF ARCTIC NIGHTS.
Their Long Season of
Darkness.

A member Of one Of the former
Peary expeditions to Greenland
tells of curious tradition of the Es-
kimos to account for the long arctic
night and its intense cold, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
There was time" they say,
''long generations ago. when the sun
never set on the regions of the north
and when the strands along the sea
were forever hidden with mantles of
living green.
Hence it was that peace and plenty
fell to the lot of this people and sor-
row was unknown among them. But
one day strange thing came to pass.
As the people were resting and feast
ing among the trees, as was their
custom throughout their wakeful
hours, a beautiful canoe, as white as
ivory, was seen drifting silently to-
ward the shore from the direction of
the castle where dwelt the spirit of
the winds.
Now, when the ivory white canoe
had fioated quite up to the shore,
great awe fell upon the people, for
there, fast asleep among the folds Of
an ermine robe, lay beautiful maid
en-, whose skin was as fair as the
snow flower and whose hair was like
a mantle of sunshine. But when the
chief had borne the maidep to the
shore and questioned her whence she
came he was troubled in his heart. for
she had answered him:
81 am Della, the daughter of the
spirit of the winds, and / have drifted
here from yonder snow-white castle in
the north. But viii return there no
more. Herceforth my home shall be
with you and your people.
"And Immediately the spirit of the
winds arose in the north and in ter
rible voice commanded that his
daughter be restored to him immedi-
ately But when the people of the
tribe sought out their chief and
counseled him to give the princess
into her fathers hands the youth
stood mute before them. Then, in obe-
dience to gesture, they entered his
ruined house. and there on a couch
lay the beautiful princess, with her
white hands-whiter than the snow
flowers-folded silently over her
breast.
"When the spirit of the winds
looked forth and beheld the princess
cold in death. on the desolate strand
his anger was yet more terrible
against the kneeling multitude and
he commanded darkness to come
down upon them. And the ice and the
cold and the darkness continued for
the space Of many days before the Of
Tended spirit would relent and suffer
the sunshine to return for brief
season"

MK&T Reducts Rites in Indian

Ever since the construction Of the

Territory its local passenger rate be-
tween stations Ia the Indian Terri
tory has been on the basis OF five cents
a mile. The customary rate OF pas
senger fares on railroads except ia

Indian Territory has grown rapidly;
there has been a large increase OF
passenger trai1ic on this account, and
the Katy officials, recognizing the
wants OF the people aud the justice OF
so doing, have voluntarily arranged
TO reduce the local passenger rate to
a basis OF three cents a mile. This
