ORIGIN OF NAME "sPoKoeEE"

atty.

atty.
Tulsa, ]. T, July 12.-Alex Posey, who
is authority on Indian legends and ira
ditions. says the name Of the new town
Of Spokogee, on the Fort Smith & West
ern railroad. twenty-five miles west Of
Eufaula, has a significant meaning. It is
the original meaning Of the Muscogee
tribe OF Indians. Some hundred years
ago there were no Muckogees or
Creeks. The tribe was known then as
Spokogees, a powerful and war-like
people made up Of seven clans. Among
Them were the Tokabachees, Artasses,
Kialigees, Hatcha-chuppas and others.
According to tradition. this confederacy
was formed somewhere in South Amer
lea. After the clans were thus united.
they emigrated, following along the At
lantic coast through Old Mexico and
thence eastward by way of the lakes,
settling finally in the south-that is. in
Alabama, Georgia etc. During their
march the Spokogees conquered a great
many other Indian tribes and adopted
them and changed the name of the con-
federacy to the Muscogees.
The name of Spokosee is still used by
Creeks to signify royal descent. 1t was
once the blue law Of the Creeks that
no one should be chief if he was not

reception accorded ne this afternoon"
Following this there were speeches from
representative Republicans over the coun-
ty. B. S. Barnes. the Republican wheel
horse OF. Ponca City. was called on for q
sreech. With his usual readiness he re
piled and proceeded TO give the Demo
cratic partys history. He then follow
q up with a talk on the spanish-Ameri-
can war: with the first lessons Of protec-
ION as taught by James c. Blaine and
carried out by the immortal William Nc
Kinley.
In reference to Cuba, he mentioned Gu
ban reciprocity as advocated by President
Roosevelt The reciprocity sentiment was
cheered by the entire audience and de-
rnonstrated beyond any doubt that ROose-
welt and his policies are receiving the IN
divided support Of the Republicans Of Kay
county.
Other men who made short addresses
during the afternoon were: ". {. Iet-
rick. Blackwell; Captain Chas Day,
Blackwell; John r. Tate, Blackwell, and
Rev. A. c. Bremen, a Methodist min
lister from the western part Of the county
These speeches were short, but were filed
with good things which never failed to
show the enthusiasm the day had deVel-
oped in the audience
After the adjournment. Bird Mcclure
was kept busy again shaking hands with
the people he had met during the day
They. congratulated him on the remarks
made during the afternoon. They as
suretf him Of their hearty support and
predictions were free that Kay county
viii give Mcclure majority Of 1,o00 votes
this fall.
# the statements of leading Republicans
in this county are TO be taken as sources
of reliable information, there were never
better conditions for Republican success
than ct the present time. Mcclure IS a
man on whom all members of the party
can unite. He is well known and with
his extensive acquaintance win be able TO
show much strength when the ballots are
counted in November. 1t is predicted that
his majority viii be near 1,000 votes. Two
years ago Dennis T. Flynn received 62S
majority, and this record viii undoubt-
edly be broken this fall. Kay county has
not been affected by emigration. If any
thing many Of the floating population
here two years ago have gone to the new
country, which VIII undoubtedly leave the
Republican party more in supremacy than
ever before. With the starting Of the
campaign here today under such auspi-
cious circumstances, Bird McGuire's pop
ularity is sure 20 increase over the terri
tory.
Mr.. Mcclure was pleased with the re-
ception accorded here today. He said:
y am more than pleased with the recep-
ton rendered me here today. The attend
ance was splendid and from all indica-
tions the Republican party viii carry this
county by a larger majority than ever
before. Conditions are right for it, and
the starting of the campaign could not
be under better circumstances"
Mcclure was the popular choice OF the
delegates to the Enid convention, and the
men who went 10 that gathering were
naturally pleased that their favorite was
nominated and VIII begin to do active
work for him. never ceasing until the
votes are counted in November.

Guthrie, O. T., July 1z-Immediately
after the announcement that Colonei Ma
thaniel Mckay was dead at Atlantic City
the report reached here that attorneys
for Mrs. Jennie Pope Mckay, Colonel
McKays former wife, had begun action
70 have the decree Of divorce set aside
which Colonel Mckay obtained in this
city December 4. last The case was
heard by Chief Justice Burford. and

torneys for Colonel Mckay. An exam
ination of the records show that the no
tice of fling of the suit was sent TO Jen-
ME Pope Mckay at 323 McDonough street.
Brooklyn. and acknowledged by her. The
divorce was secured on the grounds of
cruelty and the journal entry states that
plaintiff had been a bona fdc resident of
the territory and county FOR one year.
Under the Oklahoma law divorce does
not become absolute until after the ex-
piration of six months. The attorneys
for Colonel Mckay state that it VIII 5e
an impossibilitv for the attorneys for
Jennie Pope Mckay TO have the decree
set aside. The petition states that the
two were married on January 9, 1889. and
lived together until 1895, when her un-
governabTe temper and quarrelsome dis
position forced them TO separate
The petition also charges that she
stated that her age was 81. when in fact
she was 81. In the petition Colonel Nc
Kay stated that she had visited him in
Washington and boasted that she came

Colonel Mckay was a well-known figure
in Oklahoma and claimed this city as his
home. He had made many investments
here and his property kept increasing in
value. When Guthrie was raising money
for railroads Colonel Mckay was written
in fun relative to the situation. and in
stead of writing, usually telegraphed
what he would give. In one or two in
stances his name was placed on the list
