Beveridge bill, as it is called, granting

omnibus statehood bill. The residents
OF Indian Territory are naturally anx-

conditions. as they are practically
without any form of government, but
they should understand that it would
be to their serious disadvantage to

Indian Territory must be admitted as
a state in a very short time, In a few
years ct most. Then Oklahoma and
Indian Territory would be entitled to

A BATTERED FACE.
Unknown Man, With a Badly Bruised
Face, In Town.
FELL FROM A TRAIN.

The worst piece of battered up hu,
manity seen on the streets for many
mornings attracted the attention and
curiosity OF the street travelery this
morning. His head was covered with
bandages that once might have been
called white and his clothes were soil,
Ell and ragged. showing the wear and
tear on the bumpers and rods. What
was supposed to be human face was
a sight to behold. HIS disgusting and
disfigured appearance was tipped off
BY large load of booze. He tried to
work the sympathy scheme. but his
appearance was not approachable and
he was turned down. He rambled in
to a saloon and asked the bartender II
he could direct him to a tinshop.
What do you want with a tinshop,'
said the man behind the bar, make a
cage for that face of yours"
The dilapidated wanderer explained
that he was tinsmith by trade. HiG
dlsfigured face and head was caused
by falling from the bumpers while
stealing a ride.
He rambled all around the town. till
the policemen cut him down and haul
ed him off to the hospital and not the
pound.
For all he's tattered and ragged
and torn. he's somebody's darling
