HAS DECLARED WAR
Government Determined to Crush
BootIeuaind In Territory.

South McAlester. I. T. August Fed
eral officers are making determined ef-
forts to break up the sale of intoxicating
liquors in the territory. War has been
declared on Peruna and similar bottled
goods The following letter is being sent
out by the United States attorney Of the
central district:
Hon. r. F. Hackett L. s. Marshal, Cen
trail District, I. T.:
Sir:-I am reliably informed that in the
many towns of this district, including
South McAlester. intoxicating cider is be
Ing sold. and am credibly informed that
in the alleys and back streets OF this
city and many other towns, empty Peru
na bottles can be seen by the cart load,
and 1t is charged that degree OF drunk
enness results not heretofore noticeable.
I think We have succeeded admirably
heretofore in suppressing the liquor traf-
fic IN this district. although they have
burdenee US with all kinds Of stuff. such
as Lone Star Tonic Rochester Tonic
-Nixey." "Tintop." and Regal" all Of
which we have succeeded in running out
of our district. but now they come with
Intoxicating cider. Peruna. Wild Cherry
Bitters. and Good Cheer Tonic. All this
stun except cider, is sold by certain drug
gists. and no man in my opinion can sell
these so-cailed medicines and not know
that they are simply ''ros-gut" whisky.
and we intend 10 prosecute said drug
gists for selling these tonics and PerunA
just the same as II they should sell pure.
good whisky. In fact no man has any
more right 10 sell Peruna than any other
whisky. because IL is mean whisky and
every man knows Il who sells L.
therefore call your attention 70 these
matters I'd give publicity 10 this CORES
pondence IN order that the public may
fully understand that the officials n this
district from the highest u the lowest.
intend 10 stand together in supprcsslng
this evf. ard II public sentiment VIII
stimulate our turies in the future as Il
has in the past. TO fearlessly do their
duty, there will be music ia the air"
Very respectfully. J. II. WILKINS.
United States Attorney.

All Good Town Lots Have

THIRTY OF THEM THERE
Fears are Entertained That
Trouble Will EnSue.
THIRTY OF THEM THERE

Lawton, o. T., Aug. 1-There is much
excitement at Indiahoma, and serious
trouble may arise at almost any mo-
ment. 1t all comes about because yester-
day afternoon at l o'clock a lot of soon
ers came in and jumped onto the most
desirable town lots, says the Democrat.
In fact, the most prominent town lot
has two claimants other than the owner.
These sooners are about thirty in num-
Der and have come from the surrounding
country Whether they are acting upon
the advice of anyone, or in concert, is
not known; but if they continue to try
to hold these lots there will be serious
trouble. A telephone message received
last night stated that at 7 O'Clock the sooE
ers were still holding on, and that trou-
BILE was expected at any moment. How
ever, the townsite commissioners win
doubtless take action today and matters
may be Strengthened out without any fur
ther trouble.

PROTEST FROM NEWKIRK
Fears 1t Is a Challenge to
County Seat Strife.

NewKirk, o. T, August 1.-Rumor has
been current for the past few days that
the elements in this county that are try
ing to get it Joined with Grant county
in one council district. have been cir
cuiating petitions in parts Of this county
10 that effect. and that a special train
viii take delegations from aIedford and
Blackwell TO Guthrie on tomorrow. It
was stated publicly by an Official in posi-
ton 10 know. that the promoters of this
combination had also asked that the
representative districts be respectively
the north half and the south half of the
two counties.
The mere suggestion OF such a combi-
nation of district cutting is so clearly q
challenge TO county seat agitation. that
the issue must be plainly before the re-
districting commission. The larger part
OF the people Of this county would de-
plore such an element of disturbance
being thrown into the political campaign
this fall The circumstances Of the rail-
way communication. and the two coun-
ties being in same land Office and judicial
district for years past. make Noble the
natural combination with Kay county
for council district. Our people are ac-
quainted to considerable degree. and in
the campaign could get back and forth
the same day; while from Newk:rk to
Pond Creek and return would require
two or three days. Such unnatural and
inconvenient districting Il made would be
a great disappointment to a large major
ity of the townspeople of this county.
Guthrie, o. T.. August lit is under

morrow and ask that Kay county be at

trict. The people are from Blackwell
and the towns in the western part of
Kay county. The residents OF Kay. along
the Santa Pc asked that the county be
placed in the same council district with
Noble county. Under one OF the plans
