Clark and Charles SWeeny of Spokane
by j. j. OCOnnOr, a merchant of Ell

recently in the supreme court of New

complaint in the case has been served
on Mr.. Sweeny of New York and copies
are in possession of William Martin

gal representative of the plaintiff in
Washington.
The complaint alleges that on Au-

PENDANTS were to turn over to that
company 'partner.' three-fifths of
stock of the Last Chance Mining COM
pany, and the plaintiff contributed
some 700 to the development of
the properties of that company, the
stock thus turned over to be held for
the joint interest and benefit of the
three partners.
He Alleges Deceit.
While the stock of the Last Chance
was held by the holding company, the
defendants are alleged to have made
ests on claims of the Last Chance
company, developing their value but
concealing from the plaintiff that

been made. Upon false and fra'du-

by EXPOSURE

Guthrie, o. T., Dec. 24.-W. J. Lock-
wood, a farmer whose home is near CIo-
verdale, and who has a wife and two chill
dren, was found in the Usage country
near this place last Saturday in a pitiful
condition.
He was seen by Mr. Bud Wells Friday
evening and acted very strangely. Satur-
day morning early he was seen in Frank
DeNoy's yard picking up sticks and lit
tie rocks. They at once surmised the un-
fortunate fellows condition and asked

and hungry. After breakfast. After
breakfast Mr. DeNoys went to converse
with one of his neighbors about the man,
and when he returned he found him wad-
ing about in a creek nearby. He was i'm
mediately brought here and placed in the
hands of the officers. He told them he had
said his fire at his camp had gotten away
from him and that he had followed it up
to put it out before it could cause any
serious trouble, and could not find his
team on his return. The officers succeed
ed in finding the team, which was still
hitched to the wagon. Nearby, where the
man had had his camp fire, was kettle
full of pebbles and sticks covered with a
coat of grease. No eatable could be found
excepting sack of flour. He was kept
at Kaw City until Sunday morning when
Frank Randall took him to Newkirk and
turned him over TO the sheriff.

FOR ORIGINAL PLAN
Dawes Commission Will Make No
Change for the DeiaWarcs.

Muskogee, ]. r, Dec. 2i.-The Dawes
commission heard yesterday the argu-
ments of the Delaware attorneys. ex-Sen-
ator James X. Jones and Richard Adams
of Washington, relative to the manner of
the segregation of the Delaware lands.
Under the recent decision of the commits
sion the segregation was to be made to
include the group of improved Delaware
holdings in the northern part of the Chez
okee nation and the remainder, sufficient
to make the requisite 157 SEQ acres, is to
be taken from the public domain. This
the Delaware attorneys wanted changed
so that Delawares could have selections
of land here and there over the nation
where they claimed improvements.
The attorneys for the Cherokees op-
posed this on the grounds that such ac
ton would allow Delawares to hold eX-
cessive lands under the improvement
claim The contest arises from the fact
that the Delawares claim certain improve
ments on land near Bartlesville and on
some of the property there are good oil
wells The oil development they hold as
improvements and want their lands out
side the principal segregation selected on
and close to the oil fields instead of The
flint hills and low grade land tha will
constitute the public domain. The COM
mission decided not to change their pre-
vious plan.

away from the other stack of baled hay,
but could not get il out before the blaze
reached the stack. thus burning about
twenty-five tons OF new baled hay.
1t is not known how the small stack
caught fire. unless it was the accidental
dropping of match in the stack by
some of the men. and a ground mouse
chewing on it made it ignite. because
the flame was smothered In the center of
the stack for n good while.

RICHEST ORE
DISCOVERED
Tract South of Perry Said to
Contain Mineral.
ASSAY PROVES ITS VALUE
1t Is Said to Be the Richest in
Silver and Copper.
ASSAY PROVES ITS VALUE

Guthrie, o. T., Dec. 24-Jim Hale, the
Republican committeeman from Pawnee,
and Editor Gray of the Pawnee Times
Democrat were in the city recently and
mineral discovery yet made in Oklahoma.
The Holmes Big Four Mining company
made the find on their zS0-acre holding
southeast of Perry The ore is rich in
both silver and copper. assaying from
sl11 TO $2G4 per ton, according TO reliable
assayers.
Ore was Nrst discovered on this land,
which lies in Rock township, in Payne
county. on the place owned by a Mr..
E1grn, by a man named Adams. 1t was
some time before he interested any one
in the discovery. but finally an old miner
named Holmes. residing at Pawnee, de-
cided to visit the place. When he re-
turned he was even more enthusiastic
over the prospects than was Mr.. Adams.
Yet it was some time before he could
interest any one with money in the prop
osition. Finally he persuaded Mr.. j. F.
Shepard. who is very conservative man,
to drive with him to the place. Some OF
the ore was taken by Mr.. Shepard and
sent to Saltwater, where it was assayed
and proved to be rich in silver and cop
per- Shepard returned and leased three
quarter sections of the land and a COM
pany composed of himself, his son-in-
law Frank Hudson, Holmes and o. NJ
Lancaster, postmaster at Pawnee and
former county treasurer.
They begin to push the prospecting
with a view of determining the extent Of
the ore vein. They sent three hundred
pounds Of ore to a Kansas City assayer
and received flattering returns. They then
went deeper, sinking three holes, and
concerning the result Mr.. Shepard says:
Last Friday. the 11th instant a new
lead of ore on a lower level was struck
which appeared to be much richer than
even formerly. Three different kinds We're
sent to Dr.. ]. p. Moechel of Kansas
City, one of the most noted and reliable
assayers west of New York, who rendered
the following report on same:
"One sample sent run, silver, s17S.75;
copper, $3.50; per ton, s26i.54.
"One sample ran. silver. s5s.o2; copper,
s532S; per ton, s11.S0
One sample sent ran, silver, s66.24; cop
per. s14S.SS; per ton. s21oo7.
This mine is located on decided land,
with three quarter sections leased by
this company lying side by side running
east and west through the entire length,
in which good ore is now being developed
in three different places, one-quarter to
one-half mile apart on the lead. The
quality is unquestionable. and quantity
increasing. There is every evidence of
more of this ore in the same vicinity

Badly Needed.

Guthrie. o. r. Dec 24-The grand jury
submitted its inal report 10 Judge Bur
ford today. According to the report the
county jail is being we'll conducted and
is in as good a condition as could be
expected. considering prevailing condi-
tions. The food served the prisoners is
reported to be wholesome and there is but
very little complaint on the part of the
prisoners, says the Leader.
The jury recommends that a new fence
be built around the Jail and states that
the way of taking the prisoners out Of

mend that substantial fastenings of a bet

Office at Lawton and the ofiiciais of this
county.
81 have to state in reply to your letter
that 1 find upon careful investigation
there is no foundation in fact for the
statements set forth in the Wildman let
ter.
THE facts are these: Captain c. a.
Morris, a highly respected citizen, has a
valuable homestead near Wildman, a
small town made up to some extent of a
turbulent element, with which the peace
officers of the county have had consider
able trouble Some OF these people, who
are known as miners, without the consent
of Captain Morris, erected buildings on
his homestead. Captain Morris instituted
forcible entry and detainer proceedings
against them in the courts, obtained a
judgment and processes for restitution
were issued and placed in the hands of
an officer to execute. Resistance to these
processes was made TO sucn an extent
that the officer had to call posse to his
assistance to execute the writs and re-
move the buildings. shis he did by call
ing in farmers and good citizens generally
living in the vicinity, who acted under
his direction in removing the buildings,
some of which had 10 be torn down. One
Of these buildings torn down was located
near the postofice, which was in charge
of an assistant postmaster who, seeming
ly for effect and without real cause,
closed the office, which remained closed
only short time and was reopened as
the postmaster arrived
There was 40 shooting; there was no
mob. and no violence or attempt on the
part of the officer or his posse. They
simply executed the processes Of the
court in an orderly and effective manner.
''The statements made in the letter re-
ferred TO and in dispatches and reports
recently sent out and published reflect
ing on the homestead claimants and Of
ficials of this county are grossly false and
without foundation in fact. Very respect
fully,
