AFTER CHOCTAW COAL LANDS.
Time Is Near When Indians VIII Be
without Guardian.


South McAlester, !. T., May 6.-Big
flnanciers Of the East are now forming
a pool to gobble up all the coal lands
in the Choctaw nation, H. G, Prick,
the ''irsn king" and John W. Gates,
Of Chicago, are engineering the deal
The price agreed upon is ss5 per acre.
The interior department recently had
Colonel Taft, Of the geological survey,
inspect Me coal lands Of the territory.
He found 100000 acres in the Clloctaw
nation. This has been segregated by
the department in accordance with an
act of congress and will be sold at pub
lie auction and the proceeds divided up
among the Choctaws. Secretary Hitch
cock believes that this will net the
Indians more money than by allowing
them to allot the lands and run the
risk Of getting beaten out Of the coal
later on through the lease system. As
long as the department has control
over the Indians the mining companies
and spectators must tote fair with the
Indians. But the time is not far of
when the department will cease to
have jurisdiction and it is now taking
steps to protect the Indians by selling
their coal land and giving them the
cash for it,

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
Explosion Kills And Injuries Many; Broke
Windows Ear Away.

Cleveland, May 5. - An explosion
caused death and destruction in the
plant Of the Thor Manufacturing com.
pany. Thus far four persons are dead,
while twenty.seven others are lying in
hospitals, some fatally and others more
or less seriously injured.
The Thor Manufacturing company is
engaged in the manufacture Of toy
torpedo canes and other explosives
The company was in the midst Of Its
busiest season and extra girls were be-
ing employed.
The force Of the explosion was
tremendous and windows within a
radius of a quarter Of mile were
broken.
The fire which caused the explosion
originated in peculiar manner. The
torpedo caps are fixed in moulds and
there is constant danger Of some of the
loose powder supposed to be illuminate
of mercury, dropping on the floor. For
This reason the girls and boys who are
employed in the factory are compelled
to remove their shoes while at work, SO
as to avoid the danger Of striking
sparks The explosion was due to the
frolicsome propensities of a new girl,
who had been employed at the plant
less than a week. Some Of the girls
had their shoes on at the lunch hour,
and playfully showed one another. As
the girl slid along the floor her shoes
struck a spark in some loose powder.
Instantly the floor was ablaze.

QUITS RING
Choynski Says He Is Out of
 It forever.

Joe Choynski announced after the close of the fight at Dawson with Nick Burley, that he had appeared in the roped arena for the last time, This Is first announcement of this kind that Choynski has ever made, and he says it is made in earnest. He intends to go into another line of business.
 The detailed accounts of the fight at Dawson between Burley and Choynski indicate that Joe was outclassed. While he apparently had the best of the fight up to last few seconds, it was because he had been going a pace that was telling on him, and Burley was taking the punishment with good grace, but was still strong for the con tinuation of the battle. Early in tho second round Burley became the ag4 gressor and landed several hard ones on Choynski's chin. Joe wentsto the floor three times in succession, but each time he came to the front with all bis nerve on tap. The last knock down was from a right swing on the jaw. Choynski tried to get up, but fell forward on his face after raising to his knees, and the remaining four counts were taken against him. He soon re- covered and was apparently as fresh as ever in a few minutes.
 The Dawson papers say that the fight puts Burley in the class with the big ones.
