Rodmans building
The dogs followed the trail to a

seen in Earlboro at a late hour in
company with John Edmondson.
Later Edmondson was also arrested.

the time they left Earlboro, one say.

El Reno, o. T., Aug. If what
Dan Peery and several others say is
true, the man arrested at Union City
by Deputy Sheriff Tweed is Bert
Casey, the notorious outlaw.
A man who answers the description
of Bert Casey to a dot, came into
Union City with dislocated shoulder
and a face badly scratched up. He
told Deputy Sheriff Tweed that he had
been kicked by mule. Tweed took
the man 10 the threshing outfit and
was told that the man had been there
during the night and wanted some one
to put his shoulder back in place.
When he found it could not be done
he cussed the whole outfit and left
for Union City
Several men who knew the Casey
family say that the man is Bert.
When questioned in Jail after hav.
ing his shoulder fixed UP he said that
he didn't give a d what they did
with him. He would just as soon be
dead as alive, and If they wanted to
know who he was they would have
to find out.

deputy but being in great pain and
having no arms he had to give up. II

Confederate Memorial Association Of

the Indian Territory.
This association was formed for
the purpose of providing a home for
the INDECENT and iDfirm Confederate
soldiers and sailors whose lots have
been cast in the Indian Territory;
that they may find haven of refuge
from the storms of life, and that the
mothers. wives and daughters of our
unfortunate comrades may have a
place in which their declining years
may be spent in comfort and safety.
Organization.
The Confederate Memorial associa-
tion is Incorporated under the laws
of Arkansas, as a stock company
with a capital stock of $4,000, with
shares at 81 par value, non-assessable,
with the privilege of increasing the
stock If necessary.
The officers are: President. vice
president, secretary and treasurer,
and FIVE directors, elected by the
stockholders. The corporation has
acquired by purchase thirty-one town
lots in the city Of South McAlester,
Choctaw nation, Indian Territory.
One payment-one-fourth the pur-
chase price-has been made, with the
three remaining payments Of S193.75
each to be made annually. The
property is beautifully located and
well adapted for a soldiers home, or
any other eleemosynary institution.
1t is in a solid block and is beauti-
full park. The present value Of the
property is $4,000
The City Of South MeAlester.
The city of South McAlester, the To-
cation Of this association, is in the
Choctaw nation, and nearly centrally
located from east to west and from
north to south of the Indian Terri
tory, and city of the first class. un-
der the Statutes of Arkansas. II is
twelve years old and comprises an
area of about $500 acres, with a live
population, and is the prospective
capital Of the territory Of jefferson.
Adjoining on the north is the in.
corporated town Of McAlester, the
county site of the county of Tobuck-
sy. These two cities are connected
by rail with the four corners Of the
globe, and in the Pittsburg coal re-
gions Of the great West and as
business proposition an investment in
the stocks of the association is an
attactive investment, as its property
always will be of first-class value
and can at any time be converted into
handsome money. The promoters of
the association are Confederates and
worthy, shrewd and responsible busi-
ness men and women.
Every eX-Confederate is asked to
give this prospectus his careful atten-
ion, and take as many shares as his
circumstances will allow. It is
worthy cause, and the money will be
well spent.

A HONOLULU FIESTA
MERCHANTS COMMITTEE INVITE
SUGGESTIONS.
Wants General Public to Confer With
Them and Propose Plans for the
Carnival.

The committee appointed by the mer-
chants to consolidate views and present
a proposition for the proposed Homo
lulu Fiesta which is to mutually attract
the population of the entire island
group and for the consolidated enjoy
ment of one week of carnival and
amusement in the town best suited for
the occasion, wish it thoroughly under
stood that they are desirous of any in
formation or suggestions from the gen.
eral public that may tend to make the
projected scheme a success.
The fiesta, has of late years, become
an annual affair in many of the cities
of the farther west taking the place in
minor measure of the exposition of the
larger cities. The fiesta at Los Angeles
with it's rose carnival and the Festival
of Mountain and Plain" at Denver, not
forgetting the Mardi Gras at New Or
leans are very popular institutions with
the people.
The general idea is that of a gala
week, in which would be concentrated
all kinds of amusements and attrac-
tions. For example there have been
suggested already a big water carnival
at night, with Illuminated boats in pro-
| cessiOn, fireworks over the water, the
band on a raft and other amusements
] This would take up one evening, an
other would be devoted to a big mas
querade ball at the close of the carnival
Races al Kapiolani Park, base ball
games, excursions along the railroad
an evening at the theater or perhaps
two band concerts, street professions
and masquerades Steamers would ply
from the other islands on special sche-
dule and certain days might be set
apart for each island
! All these are suggestions in embryo
and the merchants committee are an
XiOus to gather in any and every pro-
! posal that will furnish food for the
proposed scheme. 1t is at present the
! general inclination apparently to bring
of the carnival on or about July which
would bring in the regatta at Pear
| Harbor as one of the features.
The committee which is eager to con.
| fer with the public on the subject con,
sists of p. r. Helm of Pearson and Pot,
ter, chairman; G. W. Smith of Benson
and Smith and w. w. Dimond of Di
mOnd and Company.
