INDIAN TERRITORY
BANK ROBBERY

South McAiister, |. T.. Dec 2S.-A
gang of five bark robbers looted the
bank in Kiowa. n small town sixteen
miles north of here, at o'clock yes
terday morning. and escaped after sew
eral hundred ahots had been ex-
changed between the robbers and a
posse of fifty citizens of Kiowa.
The robbers Gynamited the safe and
secured about 1850 in cash. some of
which is believed to have been mutilat-
ed by the explosion. The bank build
ing was pertialiJ wrecked. the damage
to the building being about $500.
An entrsnce to the bank was gained
by the use of crcwbars. through a rear
window. While lwo of the men did the
work of Blowing the safe. three re-
mained outside the building as guards.
The first explosion was failure. max
ing n loud report. but doing little dam
age. The citizens heard the noise. and
arming themselves with revolvers and
shotguns. hurried to the bank
At the command of leader of the
citizens. volley was fired at the rob-
bers. who We're visible through the
shutters. The fire was returned by the
guards secreted on the outside.
While the two men on the inside
worked. the three men outside kept up
steady fusllahe with the posse of cit
izens. 1t took three explosions to open
the safe
After the last explosion the burglars
gathered up the money and. leaving
through the front OF the bank, got
away in the darkness. The posse fol-
lowed the gang for some distance but
lost the trail.
While the citizens believe that one
of the robbers was injured. not one of
the citizens was struck. The latter
were protected from the fire of the rob-
bers by stock pens in the rear of the
bank building.

A resolution vis presented and
unanimously passed that not mem
Der of the association would sign con-
tracts to grow bees at the advanced
schedule offered by the sugar factory
people Most of Tie farmers live at
such a distance from the factory that
1t will be necessary for them to ship
beets. and the increase offered few
weeks ago only means % cents per ton
to these farmers aud they do not re-
gard that amount rs being any induce
ment.
The association adjourned this even
ing to meet again at the call of the
president. which Will probably be with
in two weeks. as the question of con-
tract is now the principal topic of in
terest being considered by the beet
growers of northern Colorado.
The sugar factory people have their
agents out among the beet growers and
they report that tile men who last year
made money raising beets are signing
the new contract. and in some instances
are doubling their acreage grown last

EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS
Civilized Indian Tribes.

The annual report of the commission
to the five civilized tribes, which. for
a decade has been engaged In Indian
Territory in the task of d!ssolving tri-
bal governments. extinguishing com
munal title to the land. vesting pos
session and title in severalty among
the citizens of the tribes and assimi-
lating tribal conditions generally to
American citizenship standards, says
that the work will be disposed of by
the end of the fiscal year, 1905.
Regarding recent revelations in the
territory, the report says:
, THE same interests are opposed to
the completion of this business that
were opposed to its being commenced,
and as the end draws near they pursue
with redoubled energy the same tao
tics of obstruction. faultfinding. ex-
aggeration, slander and all manner of
false statements in order to CONFUSE
the situation, muddy the waters and
embarrass, hinder and prevent the con-
clusion of the work. But every con
sideration of legitimate interest calls
for the firm and consistent mainte-
nance of the past and present policy
of the government; and we only ask
of Congress and the administration,
whose instruments we are. that before
they heed these extraordinary state
ments, yet not more extraordinary
than those of 1895, they hear both
sides now, as then. and we venture
the assertion that inquiry will develop
that they are false in substance and
are voiced by men whom We have
foiled or are seeking to foil in unlaw
full and predatory practices. or by the
credulous and deluded followers OF
such men"
To check the speculation in pine
timber on the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw lands the commission recomDends
the sale of the standing pine under
sealed bids.
The report says that in administer
ing upon the five great estates CON
stituting the lands of these tribes. ag-
gregating 20,O00,O0O acres, the com
mission has passed upon nearly 200.
900 applications for citizenship enroll
ment and claims to the property.

Report on Railways.

The seventeenth annual report OF
the interstate commerce commission
says in part:
The preliminary income account for
the year ending June 20, 1903. shows
railway returns for 2O1.457 miles of
line, which is approximately 9S per
cent of the entire mileage in the Unit
ed States. Gross earnings for that
year amounted to $3.50, $50 .679. or
s9.3S2 per mile of line. Operating ex-
penses aggregated S1,24S. $50, ,iS3. or
S6,191 per mile. leaving net earnings
of s641 $50 ,196, or s3,1S5 per mile Fiji
ty-three million. dollars in taxes are
not included in this statement of oper-
ating expenses. Compared with the
previous year the net earnings are
greater by some $34,000.00O and stock
dividends are greater by nearly S10.-
100000. In 1897 the gross earnings
averaged only s6,122. and operating eX-
penses s4,106 per mile of line.
In discussing the Elkins law. II is
pointed out that proceedings can now
be taken against corporation. where
as the beneficiary of an illegal trans
action formerly escaped. The report
says increased traffic would enable the
railroads to operate profitably without
advanced rates. 1t is recommended
that fixed charges for private cars be
established.
The gross earnings of railways for
the year ending June 80, 1903. were
$3.50, l5O.67". The gross earnings for
the previous year were S1,726, 6,3s0,261.
