Promising
CAPITALISTS ARE AT HAND

Lawton, o. T, Sept 16.-The Wichita
mountains situation is the principal topic
of conversation here now.
The greatest number Of capitalists and
those representing capital that have come
in one day came in Monday. Two of the
principal capitalists Of the rich mining
district surrounding Carthage, Joplin and
Webb City, No. are now surveying the
field. looking toward the construction Of
a concentrating plant. They wish to have
this centrally located so that It viii be
easily accessible to a number Of mines,
which they propose connecting with the
plant by electric car lines. They are
chiefly interested in the Clarke Bennett
mine. which recently sold for $25, 900.
Mr. Bratton, one of the gentlemen, says
that in his district the average assay of
ore to the ton is only -, and to learn that
assays here have run as high slS and $40
was surprising and he has confidence that
this will become one of the principal min
ing districts of the United States.
Another man VINO came IN MONDAY Is
Clay Chambers, a capitalist OF Cincinnati.
whose interest in i'm the direction Of
smelter His plans have not been learned
but he is taking steps towards opera
tions in the near future. The location of
a smelter he's become the most important
proposition To the people of this city.
They wish to have il erected I'm the city,
but owing to the lack of railroad facilities
to the mountains this is irnpracticable.
They do not wish TO see it go to the noun
tains. for fear of another town springing
up as a business rival
Mr. Burns, a representative of the Mem
phis News, has been sent here by his
paper to investigate the mining situation.
Another prominent prospector is Judge
John Purmont of Webb City. Mo, who
is a wealthy mine owner.
Returns have not been made from the
car of ore shipped to Colorado by the
Big Four company. Several prominent
gentlemen of the city accompanied the
car. and their friends are expecting daily
TO hear from them. Should these returns
be what the miners expect one of the
greatest rushes in here will then no doubt
be made

TO The RESCUE
Ell Reno Couple Eloped and
Came to Wichita.
Welded AND RE TURNED
Family interference Has Dis
turbed Their Felicity.
Welded AND RETURNED

Ell Reno, o. t, Sept. l6.-Some time ago
Otto l. Purdy. city editor of the FL Reno
American, and Miss Pearl Kimmeil OF
this city eloped and were married al
Wichita, Kansas. returning TO ii heho
to make this their home. There has been
family interference and yesterday apph-
cation was made to Probate Judge PheIps
by Mr.. Purdy for writ of haoeas corpus
to gain possession of his wife, and TO pre-
vent further interference On the part OF
his wifes mother. Judge Phelps, after
hearing the evidence, granted the writ
holding that the husband has legal right
to his wife and the enjoyment Of her
society.
After Mr.. and Mrs. Purdy returned from
Wichita they went TO the Kimmell home
and for short time it seemed that the
hasty marriage had been satisfactory to
the parents of the young woman. There
has been trouble for some time, and cul-
minated as above stated.

South McAlester. l. T.. Sept. 16.-United
States Attorney Mellette while in this
city was told of the attempt to bleed
druggists in the Indian Territory. and
said:
II have long had considerable trouble
with the internal revenue department
of the federal government They have
practice of Issuing licenses to dealers
in Indian Territory to sell malt or fer
mented liquors just the same as is done
in the states. l have taken the matter
up repeatedly with the department of
justice and my complaint was very alb
runtlv answered by the commissioner of
internal revenue. who claims power TO
collect licenses in any state or territory
in the United States This, OF course,
makes a conflict between the two de-
partments of the government. y man
pays for Il license to sell intoxicants and
thinks he is immune from the federal
laws prohibiting the sale of such drinks
in Indian Territory. lis license is no
defense when arraigned in the federal
courts en- liquor charge. He simply
pays for authority that is no authority.
The practice has been going on for
wears "

American railway is being made in the
Indian territory. corps of surveyors
is at Okeemah this week and the line
will be projected through Muskogee to
a connection with the Cowan lines at
that place. The main line of the Pan
American is being surveyed from Wlni-
peg Manitoba, to AransaS Pass, Tex,
and it is expected that the survey VIII
be completed by January l, when the
work of construction will be begun. Inc
line will be a direct one from the Hudson
bay colonies to Buenos Ayres. The sur
yey has been completed through to the
south OF North Dakota and the engineers
now at work on the Indian territory coal
branch will push on to the gulf at once.
The line of survey enters Kansas near
Superior, Neb., and leaves the state at
a point near Anthony. Guthrie, O. T.,
and Shawnee, o. T, are one the line,
and from the latter place line VIII be
constructed to Gibson, through Muskogee-
The main line will continue south through
Texas and will follow the gulf line to
the isthmus, hence it will enter South
America and cross the Andes at Bogota,
from which point direct line will be run

Selection of Bonaparte Was
an Unexpected Move.

WHENCE COMES THE CASH

Guthrie, O. T., Sept ia Washington
dispatch says Secretary Hitchcock, it is
understood, has selected s. J. O'Fanon.
who has been in the Indian service but
short time, a well known AIissou.ian.
TO assist c. j. Bonaparte in his work OF
investigating the Dawes commission and
the Indian Territory scandals
What is puzzling the officials of the ia
terror department is where the money is
to come from to pay for the services OF
man of Bonaparte's calibre. The secre-
tary addressed an inquiry a short time
ago 10 the comptroller of the treasury
10 ascertain whether he Sas authorized
to pay out of the contingent fund of the
department for the services of an inves-
tigator. and he was told that he had such
a right. His plans at that time contem-
plated the services OF a man who would
accept per diem rate of about SIS. the
same as was paid Mr.. Leupp TO investi-
gate matters IN Oklahoma. When the
president took matters into his own
hands he appointed a man who is rated
among the big lawyers OF the cast and
whose compensation VIII FAR exceed the
limits Of the fund available for that pur-
pose. This indicates in a general way
TO what extent the department was taken
by surprise when the president announced
Bonaparte as his choice for the place of
investigator
This selection is generally accepted as
the first energetic step in the direction of
getting at the real facts IN the affairs Of
the territory. The Interior department.
has practically been eliminated as a fac
tor in the investigation. Mr.. BonapaTte
may. or may not. accept O'Fallon as his
assistant. The secretary has left town.
