Several months after the killing Of Du-
rail- Dukes was arrested in South Nc
Alester where he was employed in a
meat market. In his pocket was a letter
from party at Crowder City saying that
Mrs. Dukes would likely marry a car
penter employed by Durall. The letter
was dated before the murder.
Dukes protested his innocence when
arrested and claimed that he could pro-
duce an alibi.
Sufficient circumstances against the
man were proved, however, to bind him
over and he was later indicted by the
federal grand jury of the Western dis
trict for murder.
The question now is who killed Artie
DuraH. Belden Dukes did not. An in
uoeent man has been set right.

FL Reno, O. L, June 19.-The register
and receiver of the FL Reno land Office
have sent out the following letter to
publishers who have been charging ex-
orbitant prices for the publishing of final
proof notices:
I'll Reno o. T., June IL, 1903.
Dear Sir: The attention OF this office
has been called to the fact that you are
charging fee in excess of $500 for the
publication of final proof.
We find that the uniform price for these
notices has always been S4.00 in the 'old
country" while il the new country" q
charge of 500 has been made.
Our instructions from the department.
found in I'd L. D. page 205, provide that
we shall designate only such reputable
newspapers the rates Of which co not ex-
ceed the rates established by the state
or territorial laws for the publication of
legal notices.
We find upon investigation that, allow
ing the legal rates provided by the stat
utes of this territory, the fee for pub
fishing notices Of this kind will average
from $4.75 to $3.50, according to the length
of the description of the land given and
in order to eQualize the rates and have
a uniform price for each notice, we would
suggest that fee Of not to exceed $500
be agreed upon.
Whilst we appreciate the great good
a newspaper does for a community, and
like to lend our support TO all legitimate
publications, yet as public officials We
feel that we should not sanction any ex-
orbitant charges in connection with pa-
tronage from this Office.
Notices will be withheld from your
paper until We can arrive at some salts
factory understanding as to the charges
to be made for same, Very respectfully,

it forever out Of the power of any party,
! or Interested faction to separate the sec
tons IT would settle at once and for
ever the question OF union. II would
make the final union of Oklahoma and
Indian territories certainty, and insure
to all OF US the glorious prospect and
certainty of citizenship in a great and
imperial state.
1t is true that the Choctaws and Chero-
KEGS and Chckassws are not ready for
union or statehood, and it is also true that
congress viii not willingly force state
hood upon them until they are ready
This may take years of preparation and
delay.
But the people Of the Creek country are
as ready for statehood now as they will
be at any time hereafter.
Then, why should not the free people
Of Oklahoma, who are entitled to all the
benefit of self-government, why should
not the Republicans Of Oklahoma, who
are members OF the dominant party in
congress. insist and urge upon our dele
gate to congress the necessity and duty
upon his part, of asking for the only
possible statehood in sight. which is state
hood for Oklahoma including the Creek,
and If possible, the Seminole country?
Such action on his part, If followed, as
We believe it would be. by congressional
action, would give us immediate state
hood, With certainty OF a final union
in one mighty state Of all the lands and
people of Oklahoma and Indian terrific
ries.
Therefore, We, the Republicans of Okla
y ctfuHy and earnestly request Hon.
Bird S Mcclure. our delegate in con-
gress. TO introduce into the next con-
gress. and urge the passage Of a bill con-
ferrinz immediate statehood upon Okla

the Creeks and Seminoles. with suitable

Hot Contest witnessed and cIarksburgers
win Game for Meadowbrook Team,
with Lonesome Home Man On It

The baseball teams along the West
Fork valley believe in ringers, and hav-
ing learned the trick, they have dis
earded their own men and are using all
the ringers they can lay their hands on
or who can be induced to associate them
selves temporarily OF otherwise with
these aggregatica~.
In the game at Fa;rmont Saturday the
supposed 9Ionongah team was made up
with Homestead. Pa, people, there being
only one AIonongahan on it. The Mead
owbrooIS team was made up of Fairmont,
harrisburg, Wheeling and Warrington
players in the main, there being only
one man of 1Ieadowbrools on it.
They played for a purse of s25 and
the gate receipts, which amounted to ss5.
The game was holly contested and
one of the best ever witnessed in the
valley, although it would not compare to
some played here The final score was
I to-5 in favor of MeadowbroolS, and can
be accounted for by the fact that the
winning team had Clarssburg players
on it.
The teams win likely play another
game soon and arrangements will prob
ably be made to play it here
