BATTLE is REPORTED.
United States MarshaIs and Indians
Mix


Okemah. 1. T.. July IA fight between
deputy United States marshals and a
band of Cherokee Indians. said to be Ke-
toowahs, took place on Thursday at the
foot of the Spavinvile hills, in the
Cherokee nation, in which the officers
were defeated.
The KetOoWahs are an organization of
Cherokee Indians. of the fuiIblood class,
some members of which are opposing al
lotment. One or more Cherokee Indians
who had filed on allotments were killed,
it is alleged. by members of this organi-
zation. Other Cherokees were warned
would be killed.
Leading members of the Ketoowahs,
however, claim that the organization is
in no way responsible for any Of these
acts. but simply that they may have
been perpetrated by a secret society that
is known as the Might Hawks
However this may be, the officers had
warrtna for the arrest of Charles
Wicklefe, a Ketoowah. The officers
surrounded the house of Wickliffe. and
after a brief investigation, decided that
there was no one in the house and
started to leave. At this juncture they
were fired on by parties concealed in
the house. The officers returned the fire
and for several minutes the battle ragged
furiously. One of the officers, Vaden
Wicket. was struck in the shoulder by a
shot from a Winchester and completely
disabled. The officers then abandoned
the fight.
Wicket is seriously wounded and viii

Disappearance.


Shawnee, o. T., July Miss Pauline
Kichmar is missing and her whereabouts
is a matter of much concern TO her old
mother and frinds. She is the daughter
of Mrs. Agnes Kichmar. who is the

she had left at her former place of Oc-
cupation, and which she claimed was be-
ing held there by the people who desired
her to return to work for them. She told
more than one version of II. however
and TO another party said she was going
to identify her trunk which had been
held up at Oklahoma City for identihca-
ton, having been shipped from Guthrie.
Since leaving there has not been 2 line
from her. and no communication with her
can be secured. She had a little over 81
coming TO her from Mrs. Brown, but
asked for only 81 of it, saying that was
all she needed.
Mrs Kichmar. her mother, is almost
prostrated over her daughters strange
disappearance and fears of the worst are
entertained.
The Democrat was advised last night
that no information had been received
from her whatever since she left the
city last Monday. The young lady is
well-known here and has many friends.

attentions prior 20 her departure. but
