BEN CRAyENS TROUBLES
He Is said to BE Having strenuous
Time Around TOnkawa.

Blackwell, o. T., Oct. 23.-The News
has this;
Ben Cravens, the notorious outlaw, is
creating considerable excitement in Ton
kawa by his presence there during the
last few days. Several persons who know
him personally have seen him and con-
versed with him. Cravens, it will be
remembered, has about as bad record
as any man outside of the penitentiary.
He is wanted. and wanted badly, TO finish
out an unexpired term in the penitentiary
in Kansas, where he was sent to serve
a twenty years sentence for highway
robbery, horse stealing, etc. After serv-
ing three years, he held up the guard
with a wooden revolver and made his
escape.
He is now wanted for the murder Of a
man named Bateman while robbing a
store at Red Rock and for the murder
der of Deputy Sheriff johnson at the
house of a man named Cunningham while
johnson was trying to arrest him.
six years ago Marshal Lund, Deputy
Sheriff Cox and Jack Hunter had a
round up with Cravens and Dynamite
Dick in which Dick was killed and
Cravens was wounded. When he escaped
from the penitentIary two other convicts,
named Smith and Estelle respectively,
were with him in the attempt. Cravens
and Estelle got away, but Smith was
killed.
1T was thought that Cravens had left
the country for good, and his turning up
in Tonkawa has been anything but a
pleasant surprise to the good people Of
that town.

VISITING HER SCHOOLS
Mother e atherine,- Formerly Miss
Drexel Es EH Oklahoma.

Guthrie. o. T., Oct 23.-The Capital of
this morning says:
Chilocco, Pawhuska, Sacred Heart and
other Indian mission schools, in charge
of or originated by Catholics, have had
an interested and noted visitor during
the past two weeks in the persons Of
Mother Katherine the daughter of the
Philadelphia bankers and sugar kings,
and the sister of John II. DrexeI, the
present head of that house. Before TAX
ing the veil in 1889 she was Miss Kate
Drexei. but has since been Mother Kath-
crime. She has contributed several mil
lions of dollars TO the esta blishment and
support of Indian schools. the Chilocco
school In the Cherokee Strip having been
originally founded by her.
Pawhuska and vicinity was visited by
Mother Katherine last week and her cou-
sin. Miss Josephine Drexel of Philadel-
phia. They visited principally at the
Catholic schools, the st. Louis and the ST.
John.
Mother Katherine. with her own money
built the handsome ST. Louis and St.
John school buildings here. as wen as
partly built several Catholic buildings
over in the Cherokee nation. She is on
a visit to all the Catholic schools of the
west that she was interested in.
She left there for Vinita, /. T., where
she went to visit schools, and from there
she will go west, to Arizona, where she
has just started a mission that she has
named the Navajo Indian Mission. There
she will build school building that will
cost fifty thousand dollars and ward
The brick to be used in this building will
have to be gotten in western Kansas and
freighted the great distance from there to
Arizona, where, out on the barren plains
she will erect the first institution of its
kind ever among Navajo Indians, who as
a whole never had any Christian teach
ing and to Mother Katherine alone falls
the honor of having been the first one in
the history of the world 20 make any eff
fort to teach the Navajos Christianity.
Mother Katherine is the daughter Of
wealthy parents whose homs is in Phil
adelphia. Her brother is a banker and
entirely approves of the doings of his sis
ter, Katherine Drexel. Mother Katherine
looks to be forty years old and most all
those years of her life she has con-
stantly been studying the Indian prob
lem until today she stands at the head
of all people as to her knowledge of the
Indian as well as the amount of money
she has expended Off their uplifting. She
is very wealthy. but is not allowed to
S sand any OF that principal. only the in
terest. This she spends subject to the
interior department.
Mother Katherine looks wit ha good
deal of pride upon the progress made by
the two schools at Pawhuska and is Of
the opinion that the future has more in
store for them-much to accomplishe-
and thinks they viii be equal to all
emergencies.
Mother katehrine was guest in Guth-
rie of Bishop Meerscheart. At her request
her presence in the city was not made
public at the time.
