WORK OF RESCUE STOPPED
Fire Damp Compel Workmen to Give Up
Search for bodies in Mine

Senrch for bodies in Mine
TRINIDAD, Colo The rescue party
at the Bowen mine where a disas trous
explosion occurred was compelled to
suspend work owing to fire damp. The
bodies of eleven dead had been recover
ed. There were at least thirteen men
in the mine at the time of the explosion
and all were undoubtedly killed No
gas has ever been discovered in the
mine and it is the opinion of the officials
that the accident was caused by a pre-
mature shot. The powder house at the
mouth of the mine containing 1000
pounds of blasting powder was explod-
ed by the shock from the mine and
great damage was done to the mouth of
the slope The town of Bowen situat-
ed about quarter of mile below the
mine was shaken and number of
windows We're broken. Immediately
after the explosion most of the entire
population of the town rushed to the
mouth of the mine and the scenes there
were heart rending. The mine is al
most total wreck as far as can be de-
termined. The explosion occurred
about |, 900 feet from the surface and
the mine was quickly filed with gas
and smoke, and those who escaped in
slant death were undoubtedly suffo-
Gated.

Old Orchard in New country

LAwToN: In the northeast part of
the county there is an orchard which
is said to be twenty five years old The
orchard is located on the Little Washita

and is the property of Mexican wo-
man, who was captured by the Indians
years ago and adopted by the tribe
After she was captured she went to
work and set out the orchard. When
the allotments Were made she retained
the place and resides on it now. The
orchard has received little or no care,
but is in good condition.

SWINDLER ARRESTED
Deputy Marshal Norton Picks up n Mar

Deputy Marshal Norton Picks up n Man
Who has Beeen SwindIing Indians
MARIETTA; Deputy W. II. Norton, of
Marietta, arrested j. II. Dunn who has,
if reports are true, been doing a land
Office business with the countrymen
down about Thackerville. Dunn, it
seems, strikes citizen who has not
been enrolled and pretends to him that
he is partner of the judge of the
Dawes commission and that he is now
out enrolling those that are not on the
rolls. He tells his man that it will be
necessary, however, for him to put up
about $50 (more is he thinks his man
can stand it) and then he gives him a
note to another man at Muskogee to
whom the applicant is to pay $40,
which, when paid, will entitle him to
full citizenship, and he can then take
his allotment and be cortented. One
man came into Marietta to borrow $50
in order that he might get himself,
wife and child in. Dunn seems to have
been doing land Office business with
the people of that section until Deputy
Norton put a stop to his procedure.

FENCES TO BE TORN DOWN
Oklahoma Cattlemen Must Find Pastures
Outside of Beaver County


Outside of Beaver County
GUTHRIE. For several years cattle
men, by sufferance, have been permit
ted to inclose large area of land in
Beaver and other western counties
for pasture. The bulk of the land was
subject to homestead, but was unsettled.
In fencing this vacant land there was
also inclosed the adjoining school lands.
The Oklahoma school land department
compelled the cattlcmen 70 pay an an
nual rental of $25 for each school sec
tion. There is now no unleased school
land in Oklahoma The increasing
prosperity of Oklahoma has attracted
a heavy immigration and many cattle
pastures were cut up by farmers who
"homesteaded" on them. They com
planned of the wire fences built by the
cattlemen, and asked the federal gov
ernment for relief The cattlemen
had no legal right 10 use or fence the
public lands, and orders were issued
for the removal of the fences. Orders
have been issued several times in the
last three or four years, but were never
enforced. Now, however, 1t is believed
that the fences will be torn down.
j. j. Huston, secretary of the school
land board, said that the removal of the
fences would reduce the income of the
school land department, especially in
Beaver county, typical grazing coun-
try. A large portion of the county is
unfit for purely agricultural purposes,
and a ranch of only three or four sec
tions is too small for grazing. Cattle
men are the only persons who will lease
the sections, and they will be driven
out of the country if their fences are
torn down The territory owns 275
sections of laud in Beaver county,
which brings an annual rental of about
SO, 800, a greater part of which would
be lost with the cattlmen out of the
country
Secretary Houston will go to Beaver
county in few days to select 5000
acres of indemnity land in lieu of lands
reserved in the Wichita forest reserve.
This land will be taken contiguous to
school lands that now border on streams,
in order to secure access to water for
as much of the land as possible.

SUES INSURANCE COMPANY
An Ardmore Man, who Had Life Policy
Cancelled, Brings Action

Cancelled, Brings Action
ARDMoRE: G. B. Ladd, through his
attorneys, G. l.. Herney, @. L. Herbert,
filed a suit in the district court against
the New York Mutual Life Insurance
Co., for $4,000. The action is brought
for the reason that the company called
in policy which had been issued to
Mr.. Ladd, the amount of which was
So, 600 and for which a premium of
SS4. 90 had been paid. Mr.. Ladd states
that the reason the company cancelled
the policy is because some party or par
ties reported to the company that he
was drunkard and that he had heart
trouble. He states that he can prove by
reputable physicians that he has no
heart trouble, and that he will have no
trouble at all to establish the fact that he
is strictly sober. Ladd claims that by
the action of this company he may be
debarred from getting further life in
surance, and other things, he is dam
aged to the extent of $4,000.
