OEFRAUD The
GOVERNED
Goods Shipped Out by Blanket
Indian.
DEPARTMENT TAKES HAND
Requests Railroad to Return
Gar to shawnee.

Shawnee. o. T.. Jan. lo.-The Shawnee
Quill says: For the past two days shaw
nee has been agog over what is being
generally spoken OF in Official circles as
icing an attempt 10 defraud the United
States government by the removal OF GER
! tain property. which is alleged to belong
to Pa-ko-tah. an Indian well known here.
and who lately moved to Mexico.
When the stuff, which consisted of sew
erai pairs of mules and a lot of farm
implements, had been loaded into a car
about that time an attachment was
served on the local agent of the railroad
company, by Constable Martin. who took
possession of the livestock and later the
car was sent west. but later when Sec
rotary Hitchcock. of the interior depart
ment. was communicated with. an order
was mode TO return the car of stuff here
and barring an accident, 1t will be in the
yards tonight.
The freight billing on the car named a
small town near the Rio Grande river
in Texas, from where II was feared that
the property would be carried over the
lire into Mexico. and on this account
Agent Thackery took the court action
and stopped the shipment of the goods.
PaKo-tah. the Indian who is sup
posed to be the owner of the carload of
stuff. is well known in this city. He is a
blanket Indian. whose presence on the
streets has been noted almost daily.
and no man ever residing in this vicinity
had greater police court record which
was caused by his hereditary love for
booze the effects of which always mad
dened and made him its victim.
The Shawnee News. published several
hours later than the Quill says:
Acting on a telegram from the de-
partment OF the interior at Washington.
Indian Agent Frank A Thackery had a
carload of mules implements, etc. which
was shipped from this city in the name
Of John Williams, billed to a town near
the Mexican border but in the United
States stopped at FL Reno and the Choc-
taw authorities stated that they would
return the car TO this city today
The stuff is claimed 10 belong to Pa
Ko-Tah. a Shawnee Indian. but the agent
declares that it is the property of the
government and was merely allotted TO
the Indians
six mules. as stated in Wednesdays
News. were taken from the car here and
turned over to the agent as United States
property and the rest of the carload will
probably be now given to him as custo-
dian until the case Is decided. IL Is re-
ported that the Indian Is now in Mexico
TO which place he was attempting to re-
move. Several bad lights have been dis
covered in looking up this matter and II
is apparent that something is about 70

FOR NEW TOWNSHIP.
Congress May &c Asked to Pass Spe-

Mountain View, o. T, Jan. 10.-The

some aggressive steps are being taken
BY certain citizens OF Maintain View

the land desired being owned by Indians.
who are forbidden by law to sell the
same, their only nope of success is
through special act of congress grant
ing said Indians the privilege Of selling
such lands for townsite purposes.
1t is claimed that the influence OF Den
mis- Flynn has been gained with the prom
Use that he will help work such a bill
through this present session of congress.
and its promoters seem TO be more or less
hopeful of success Should such a re-
quest be granted. however. a precedent
would be established that would no doubt
furnish the pretext for endless requests
fer the disposition of Indian lands that
are otherwise non-transferable.
The location of the town where it is
has many advantages that should not

of the best business points in the south
west. Its water supply is excellent and
that fact alone should be taken as
Very strong point in its favor as against
the proposed site. where repeated at
tempts TO get good water have resulted
in failure. Think of comparing the water
in Mountain View with that of some other
towns nearby 1t is remarked BIZ all
travellers that the water here is the best
anywhere along the line. and is is well
known that the same is not TO be found

The question has arisen from time 10
time OF the advisability OF taking some
decisive steps to the end that we might
secure an uptown depot by inducing the
railroad TO come 70 US. It would necessi-
tate the rebuilding of but a few miles
of track and would be OF mutual advant-
age to both the railway company and
the town. With the railroad running
through it. the present site of Mountain
View is all right. and a harmonious
working together Of all her citizens to
that end might do much towards the
bringing about OF such desirable condi-

ROMANCE OF
AN INDIAN
BLUEBEARD.
Matt Ouhr Tells of a Man
Who Killed Nine Wives.
HIS GRAVE IN OKLAHOMA
Is Stunned by All the Indians
tor Miles Around.

Guthrie. Q. T., Jan. 1o-There are a
few men left in UkIanoma yet VINO are
iluent in Indian Iore ana WHAT Dunr is
one of these. This pioneer lives at stroud
and his short stories >of Indian life pub
lished in the Stroud Messenger are re-
produced all over the territory. He IS
in Guthrie 10 attend the legislature. He
has never missed a legislative year since
the opening He knows everybody and
what is going on.
Mr.. Duhr told the Eagles representa-
tive that he has recently been looking
up the biography of an Indian Blue
beard, who died many years ago, "for
which act Of providence / an inignty
thankful" declared the Stroud writer.
South of Stroud few miles. and about
fourteen east of Chandler. is the grave
OF this Bluebeard Of the Sax and Foxes
the grave is fenced IN ard is very much
reYerred by all the Indians. In fact, it
is more in fear than in reverence that
they look upon that grave. 1t is a queer
thing; is that mound Stones are heaped
on it about six feet high.
81 had an awful hard time finding out
why these stones We're thus piled up, but
after talking q great deal and giving an
old squaw n lot of tobacco. 1 succeeded
in getting some information about old
Bluebeard. who outrivals the French
wife-dispoeer.
This Indian. whose name was Light
ming Flash, was n very murderous vii
liam. having killed nine wives. according
to the story the Indians tell. He so ont
cone the French Bluebeard by two. for
the latter is reported to have killed only
seven wives. Lightning Flash used the
deadly night-shade berries for his work,
putting 1t into the food of his squaws
as he tired of them
THE Indians up till today fear to talk
OF this war-like redmian. From what 1
could get out of them. they regarded him
4 sthe real devil in human spirit That
is the reason they will fot tell of his
strocious deeds.
when he was buried beneath that pile
of rocks. four Indians bore his body to
the grave All four were blindfolded.
They feared to look u)on the evil spirit
The Sax and Fox bury their dead very
deep. from six to ten feet.
For years after this, the Indians
would not eve BallOw a pony to go near
this grave of the Souci Bluebeard.'

mas day, was araigned in probate court
Tuesday, and his preliminary hearing set
for Monday morning. January u. 1903,
al 9 O'Clock. The facts of the killing.
as near as can be ascertained, are as
follows:
Quite number of men and boys had
congrcsatod at the saloon at Eason,
which is located a few rods from the
pOtt county line, to celebrate Christ
mas day, and the largest part were drunk
They were having hilarious time dane

Keep quiet and not to make so much
noise Sanders replied: Il don't have to-,
whereby Tucker said, III make You"
At this Sanders lurched forward pushing

''4f'' and struck Sanders. delivering Il
terrific blow behind the ear with the
butt end Of the gun. cutting a cash four
inches long and fracturing the skull

ofdcer-eIect Brings mandamus Suit in
Court

Guthrie, o. T., Jan. IO.-J. W. Skep-

city yesterday for the purpose of fling
in the Oklahoma supreme court a man
oamus petition. repI esen;ing Thomas 3.

of Kiowa county. who thus seeks to Gust
his Republican successor, Sam Combs
Finley was elected on November last,
to succeed Combs. who was appointed 20
the position two years ago by Governor
william II. Jenkins.
The plaintiff in this case states that un-
der the Oklahoma laws an appointed Off
Ger is to serve only till his successor is
elected and qualities. Under the last cleo
ton law of the territory the county teras-
urer holds over until the October follow
ing the election in November, thus pro-
longing Combs term OF Office anti Oc-
tober of this year. Combs holds that the
term OF Office is the same, whether the
office be appointive or elective. and there
fore seeks to hold the treas1rership IN
til next October. His attorney is L. n.
Keyes. late attorney of Kiowa county.
The attorney general, Judge j. c. Rob-
erts. is. also in the case, representing
Combs as a county officer under the ter
ritorial statutes.
Sam Combs and L. NJ. keyes, also
Treasurer Jim Echols and exCounty
Attorney Walter Stevens of Comanche,
are IN the city in the interests of this
case. Echols as the appointed treasurer
of Comanche county, is directly involved
the same as Combs in the outcome of
this case, as also the county superintend-
ent, Leo MeBrian of Comanche and i.
p. Evans of WKiowa County, who arc
under the law hold-overs until July l.
All these gentlemen claim the right to
fill the entire term of office and viii
make a fight to hold them. They are
expecting to get the matter up at this
term of the Oklahoma supreme court.
They consulted with all the leading at
torneys of the territory before fully de-
termining upon the plan to fight TO hold
their positions. Riley .. Smith is the
