Lawton o. T., Sept. 9-Yesterday at
Cache, Cofman & McEiboes drew up ar
ticles of Incorporation for company
comprising about sixty of Quanah town
ship citizens The capital stock of the
new company is $500, 600. The corporation
viii be known as the Cache Mining and
Reduction company.
These gentlemen live in the very door
way to one OF the best Wichita mountain
districts, are fully convinced of the wealth
to be obtained by proper development.
One is easily convinced of their earnest
ness for they are putting up goodly
amounts of capital development work and
other necessary preparations.
The temporary directors of the corpo-
ration are Jas. A. Cherry. VIM. e Savage
c. s. Clingan, T. V. Jamison. Walter
Clark, Geo. L. BaisIey and R. E. Banks
With such an array of efficient officers
there can be no doubt of the success of
the company.
We need cite but one instance of their
disposition to aid mining enterprises. Al
ready they have spent $500 fixing up a
road from Craterville to Cache so that
ore can be brought to the railroad with
out difficulty.

much aroused.
Hence. when Randlett's men were CT
derea to put the mining property of S. L.

ready for them. When the Indian agent's s
men arrived at the Hes mine they were
suddenly confronted by 100 armed men.

and canyons of the mountains. The in
truders We're adverse TO having trouble
and retreated peaceably without innict-

Benbow. is on an Indian allotment. The
Indians want protection from the intru-
sion of miners. and the agent wishes %

to filing of mineral afFidavits against In

LOST HIS ARM.
The Bullet Grazed Close to Its In
tended Victim.

Snyder. o. T., Sept. 9.-TheSignal says:
For some days George S Bailey and wife
have been stopping at the home of Joe
Morris, occupying q sleeping room on the
south side OF the house. Monday night
between one and two o'clock some mis-
oreant sneaked up to the window. across
which stood the bed occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Bailey and with a gun so near as
to powder burn his night shirt. fired at
Bailey. It is presumed that after getting
his aim the man stopped below the win
dow sill and in so doing unconsciously
lowered the handle OF the revolver thus
changing the course the ball was expected
to take, so that instead of entering Mr..
Bailey's body. as desired. it passed over
him. going through a plastered partition
which was opposite the bed, striking the
ceiling Of the next room and glancing
therefrom to the wall beyond.
The ball passed so near Bailey's body
as to not only powder-ubrn the night
shirt, but also caused slight abrasion
of the skin and if he had not been sleep
ing on his side would have certainly
passed through his body.
AS soon as Mr.. Bailey could open the
screen he jumped out through the window
to the ground, bat as he had some little
trouble in getting the screen unlocked

made his escape and was out of sight

Muskogee, I. T, Sept. 9.-The townsite
force of the entire CITY is now in opera
ton again after furlough of two months
caused by the lack of funds from con-
gress. There is a surveying party ana

are III towns in the three nations upon
which the commissions have yet to COM
pIete their work, distributed as follows:
Cherokee nation, AZ; Choctaw nation, 40;
Chickasaw nation, 80.
In most of these towns the surveys are
completed and the plats are awaiting ap-
proval. The appraisers have most of this
land yet to appraise. All the government
townsites in the Creek nation have been
sold and the towI;eite business so far as
the government is concerned is closed in

FROM COTTON COUNTRY.
Prague Is Making Rapid Progress in
Commerce.

Prague, O. T, Sept 9.-The cotton pros
poets in this vicinity indicate that at
least 10000 bales of that product viii be
unloaded on the Prague maret this sea-
son. At an average of $50 a bale, which
is a conservative calculation, the cotton
crop will bring a half million dollars into
practically local circulation, says the Pa
triot.
One great advantage TO Prague's cotton
market is the fact that the funds have
all been raised for constructing a bridge
across the North Canadian, about five
miles south of this city, which taps the
North Seminole country and will result
in the sale of three or four thousand
bales of cotton here from that region.
TIE money for the bridge was raised
by private subscription and work will be
commenced at once on the bridge. 1t will
require about thirty days to complete it.
The farmers of the North Seminole coun-
try are much elated over the success of
the committee in raising the funds, and
even they contributed literally, for they
were anxious to come to Prague and
realized more than anyone else, perhaps,
the necessity for a bridge at that point.
The bringing into local circulation of a
half-million dollars will benefit the mer-
camille interests of Prague very mateTi-
ally, and besides the establishing of a
good cotton market here will give the city
a prestige that she does not now enjoy
With the Fort Smith and Western rail-
road realizing that this is one of the
very best points on it's line, and prepar-
ing to handle from ten to twenty thous-
and bales, spinner buyers are coming
from all parts and this activity will result
in the location of cotton yard. already
