AToKA is DISAPPOINTED.
choetaw Land Office is Not Bringing
Business to Town as Expected.

Business to Town as Expected.
Atoka is disappointed with her
Choctaw land office investment. The
business is not coming to town in
huge chunks as was expected when
the town strained herself to raise a
fund for the erection of the beautiful
land Office block.
Openly the people OF Atoka admit
that they bought a gold brick. A
gentleman from Atoka who was here
today said of the progress of the al
lotment work:
There have been about 1900 al
lotments already made. The force
at the land office handle about sixty
allottees per day. This is all that
come to town. The Indians come in
from the country in the morning, Sc
cure their allotments without a long
wait and leave before nighe. They
spend little or no money with the
merchants. II was the hope OF Atolka
that large crowds would collect and
camp about town for weeks waiting
for chances to get their allCtments.
The result has been quite diff .ent.
Only so many can be accommodated
each day and about that numboc make
their appearance in town. Tho fnan-
cial condition Of the town has not
be improved by the land Office and
there Is much disapnointment.n

GROUND TEST
WAS SATISFACTORY
Malleable Iron Company's S
New Ground Found All
Right

The test made by the officers and en-
gineers of the Wilmington Malleable
Iron Company, of the plot of ground
bought by them for their new works in
South Wilmington, made this week, was
very satisfactory.
One of the tests made to determine the
stability of the soil was the placing of a
platform four feet square ON which was
placed twenty-four tons of pig iron.
This was left for twenty-four hours TO
see how far it would sink in the soil.
When it was examined at the expiration
Of that time it was found TO have settled
but one-sixteenth of an inch, which
proved that the ground was of sufficient
strength TO bear the foundations of the
new buildings they propose to build.
The test having been made when it
was, when the ground was in the worst
condition Of the year, being filed with
water was even better than the officers
had hoped
Building operations viii begin as soon
as spring opens and by the fall the build
ings are expected TO be completed.

GIRL RELEASED
FROM SCHOOL
Relatives of Rachael Henry
Theaten Delaware Indus
trial Home

Threatened with habeas corpus pro-
ceedings the authorities of the Delaware
Industrial School for Girls this morn
ing released Rachael Henry, who has
been in the institution four months hav-
ing been placed there as witness. The
case with which she was connected was
nolle pressed in the upper court shortly
after the defendant was committed TO
the Industrial School. The case was
that of Bernard j. McVey and Dolly
Taylor charged with conspiring to spirit
away the girl who was a witness against
the woman in question.
The defendant ran away from her
home in Doe Run, Pa, and was found IN
a house of questionable character in this
city, and as she was not of age, the
charge against the woman followed. In
the City Court today Assistant City So
licitor Garrett requested that the case
be opened and the girl handed over to
the custody of her mother, who was in
court. The reason the authorities of the
school refused to allow Rachael to leave
the school was because they believed she
had been properly committed to the in
stitution.
The case of Thomas Watkins, charged
with selling liquor to minors, was con-
tinued until Monday morning.
