A large crowd of representative
citizens Of Vinita and nearby

too late to board the flyer.
Another large crowd gathered
at the depot this forenoon and
greeted Senator Quarles and Sec
retary Brahany as they alighted
from the train.
The gentlemen were presented
to the members of the reception
committee and other citizens, and
were driven to the headquarters of
the Dawes commission two miles
east of town.
Senator Quarles and Mr.. Bra
hany returned shortly alter noon
and took luncheon at the resi-
dence of Mr.. aud Mrs. P. i. Soper
whose guests they will be during
their stay, or until they depart on
the midnight train.
Both the guests are atfable gen
tlemen and created a very favor
able impression on the people.
Senator Quarles smilingly said, as
he was presented to the gentle
men of the committee, "Now gen.
tleman, I'll do just whatever you
desire"
AT 4 O'Clock today at the court
house the band will play, Hon.
w. P. Thompson will deliver an
address of welcome, Judge Gill
will introduce Senator Quarles aud
