uIar and Settles 1t.

Guthrie. o. r, July 2.-The attention
of Attorney General Roberts and other
territorial officials has been called to
a peculiar situation which exists in Day
county relative to the Office of superin-
tendent of public instruction. AT the
election last fall, Prof w. G. Brown
was elected superintendent, but failed TO
qualify. leaving the territory a short time
after being elected. 3. A. Bouldin, who
for two years held the office. refused
to give up the Office, holding over.
Now charges are made that Bouldin
is insane not dangerously enough af-
fected to take him to the sanitarium,
but enough TO incapacitate him for work
in the office. His deputy has charge
OF the work in Day county. 1t is stated
in letters to the attorney general that
Bouldin believes mob is after him and
that the people of the county are con-
spring against him One night he left
Grand. the county seat of the county, for
the reason, he stated, that mob of
people was after him. He has refused
to return TO Grand to reside and has
only been there once or twice since that
night
The board Of county commissioners re-
fused to allow Bouldin's salary since
last January, but on the 18th of July
held a meeting and paid him what was
due him and then declared the office
vacant. \. L. Squire was then ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy. but when he
attempted to move the books and rec
l. ID
fused to givehim possession of them.
The attorney general will hold that
Squire's appointment is regular and the
only thing for Bouldin's deputy to do
is turn over the records of the office to
the new superintendent.
The school system of Day county is in
an undeveloped state as yet, but efforts
will be made to have more districts or
ganized, school houses erected and the
work of education carried on as it is
in OIL counties

REMOVING HERDS.
Indian Police Have Been at Work En-
forcinu the Law.

Guthrie o. T, July A.-For the past
two weeks the Indian police department
of the Indian territory has been at work
removing herds of cattle in the Creek
and Seminole nations and when this labor
is completed the department will go 10
Chickasha under orders from Secretary
Hitchcock of the interior department.
The last time Revenue Inspector Guy P.
Cobb visited Ch;ckasha. accompanied by
the police force, he informed the people
and the cattle owners that the interior
department had lost patience with their
continued and persistent efforts TO AVOID
payment of the tribal tax of % cents per
head on all cattle grazing in the Chick
asha nation thatare owned by non-citi-
zens. The department had instructed
him to temporize no longer. but 10 give
them the ten-day notice required by law.
and if the tax was not promptly paid
then drive the cattle out.
This Mr.. Cobb finally succeeded in do
ng after great deal of trouble and al
most endless wrangling with the owners
Mr.. Cobb has since resigned and new
revenue inspector has taken his place.
The cattlemen knew Mr.. Cobb meant bus
mess. but they do not know the new one,
nor the extent and stiffness Of his back
bone. and this may be responsible for the
fact that they have not yet paid their
tax, although they have been served with
the ten-day notice. This applies 10 three
or four of the largest cattle owners in
the Chickasha nation, whose herds are
scattere,. all over the rich prairies sur
rounding Chickasha, Rush Springs, Dun
can. NARROW, Comanche and the other

Will Do the Work

Ardmofe, I. T., July ga fifty-year
street railway franchise has been grant
ed by the city council to the Ardmore
Coal and Power company. The company
has in operation a large vitrified brick
plant and coal mine within three miles
of the city. and when they made appH-
cation TO the Santa Fe for switch they
were confronted with the counter propo-
sition that they guarantee to the railroad
a payment of not less than s12, 900 year.
The company then resolved to build its
own line of road connecting the city and
mine. and will erect a power plant suf-
ficient to furnish power for the street
railway system. The franchise will be
forfeited If the line is not in operation
within one year.

that he believes Oklahoma produced forty
million bushels of wheat this season.
"One of the strange things about the

this is. but it is a fact just the same"
In speaking of the Kingfisher market,
Colonel PrOuty said: Il believe 1t i'm

Journal says: The salary of the gov

down just ore-half. 1t was $500 per
year, but now it is reduced to $500. Why
this has been done by the department
we are unable to say. for if any of the
government employees earn their salary
it is surely the physician. The result of
thessame will be if the government doc
tor has to doctor all of the Indians Of
the reservation as heretofore the depart
ment twill be unable to keep a competent
