Fish and Game Preserve.
From South McAlister Capital

From South McAhster Capital
For some time past several gentlemen
of this city have been quietly at work
on a plan having as its object the secur-
and segregating of large body OF wild
lands among the mountains of the Choc-
taw nation for a game and fish reserve.
The plans propose to purchase 10, 200
acres of land, the fencing of it, building
of a club house and establishing fish
hatcheries, etc. and making of 1t in
every way hunting and fishing park
which will be in charge Of an expert
enced man, 1t is proposed to include
not more than eleven men, and the Ia
dies will not be barred should any of
them desire to take stock in the COM
pany, and the promoters enthusiastic.
As is well known there is plenty Of wild
game in the mountains Of the ChOctaw
nation, including black bear, deer,
wolves, wild cats and even an OCCASION
al panther, as well as beaver and otter,
but these animals are being rapidly de-
stroyed by the ruthless pot hunter and
trapper, who fish, trap, slay and kill in
season and out in spite of laws and
weather. These lands are appraised at
% cents per acre and are practically
worthless except for just such purpose
as is contemplated Among these noun
tains too are streams and pools full Of
bass, white perch, channel cat and
many other fish, which, unless pre-
served, will soon be killed out. The
company will not confne its influence
and operation to just one park, but will
take hand in securing proper game
legislation and the due enforcement of
such laws as may be passed.

Tammany's First Fourth OF July Of
Murphy's Leadership-Cheers
Bryam's Letter.
Ernm thc 81 LonIs post. Dismal.

New York, July A letter
from Grover Cleveland, the first
in l0years; not a mention of Rich
ard Croker; a savage attack on
President Roosevelt by David b.
Hill, and a program designed to
mark the reunion of the Bryan and
Cleveland forces distinguished
today Charles f. Murphy's first
Tammany Fourth of July celebra-
ton.
Mr.. Murphy failed to prevent a
noisy outbreak when the name of
Bryan was mentioned, which was
in marked contrast to the recep-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland's letter i'm
mediately preceding it.
The audience broke into wild
cheering a moment after the read
ing of the Cleveland letter when
Secretary Thomas f. Smith began
reading. "Lincoln, Neb.o
When the Bryan cheering began
to die out some one cried, :Three
cheers for Bryan" and the Wig
wan rang with them.
Former Senator Charles A.
TOwne of Minnesota, a Bryan
champion, was the hero Of the day.
Heand Senator Joseph w. Bailey
of Texas were scheduled to make
the "lOng talks" but Mr.. Towne's
speech was the principal one Of
the day. Mr.. Bailey followed him
and spoke only a few minutes.
Mr. Towne was hailed by almost
every speaker as a resident of
Minnesota, the Tammany men
APPARENTLY not knowing that he has
for two years been living in this
city. After he had spoken for
more than an hour on "lmperial-
ism" as tiagrant violation Of the
Declaration Of independence,
Leader Murphy jumping to his
feet led in the cheering.
Mr.. Bryan wrote:
ut is especially important that
we commemorate the day at this
when thirst for power and greed
for gain are leading so many of
our countrymen away from politi-
cal and private virtures, The
Democratic party in its effort to
preserve the limitations Of the
constitution and to apply Demo-
cratic principles to each new prob
lem, will find inspiration and
strength in the recollection of the
struggles that brought our nation
into existence.
Il trust that those who assem-.
BILE in Tammany Hall will present
to the country a Democratic ideal
so high and so patriotic that it
will appeal to all who seek good
government and desire the welfare
of our common country

Charles Francis Adams Tribute TO Gen.
X. L. Lee.

Hon. Chas Francis Adams Of Mass
achusetts, at the Confederate veteran
camp dinner in New York, said
"As an American-as an ex-soldier
of the UniOn-as one who did his best
in honest, even fight to destroy that
fragment Of the army of the Confed-
eracy to which he found himself op-
posed, | rejoice that no hatred attaches
to the name of Lee. Reckless Of life TO
attain the legitimate ends Of war, he
sought to mitigate its horrors. Opposed
to him at Gettysburg, |, here, forty
years later, do him justice, No more
creditablo order ever issued from a com
manding general than that formulated
and signed by Robert E, Lee as, at the
close of June, 1885, he advanced on Il
war Of invasion
"'No greater disgrace " he then de-
clared, "can befall the army, and
through it our whole people, than the
perpetration Of barbarous outrages upon
the innocent and defenseless and the
wanton destruction of private property.
Such proceedings not only disgrace tho
perpetrators and all connected with
them, but are subvereiye Of the disci-
plins and efficiency of the army, and
destructive of the ends Of our move.
ment 1t must be remembered that we
make war only on armed men, -
Lee did not, like Tilly and Melac, ex.
hort his followers to kill and burn, and
burn and kill, and again kill and burn
10 make war hell He did not proclaim
that he wanted no prisoners, He did
not enjoin 1t upon his soldiers as Il duty
TO cause the people OF Pennsylvania TO
remember that they had been there. !
thank Heaven he did not lie At last
though n Confederate in arms, was still
an American, and not Tilly or a
Melac.

RpMare OF Greek Loaso Games.

From the MusEogeo Phoenix
The time was, according to the old
time-honored and hoary-headed jokes,
when the unsophisticated Westerner
fell an easy victim TO the shrewd conf
dence man of the East; but the times
are changing. The man from the East,
with a superabundance Of selfassurance
and the gold brick, plays losing game
when he tackles the guileless-looking
Creek citizen with bogus lease

Saturday S.W, Bell school teacher
from Tennessee, who is looking for an
opportunity to rent farm IN this coun.
try. took the train at Wagner for Mus
kogee. He no doubt made his business
pretty generally known, and was soon
approached by negro who told him
that he was the owner Of three hundred
acres of fine farming land, sixteen head
Of horses, and other property in proper
ton. He proposed to rent Mr.. Bell all
the stock necessary for running first
class ranch,
! While they were engaged in conver.
sation, another negro came across the
car and addressing the man Of land and
property, told him that he was collect
ing the trioal tax, and that the amount
of his taxes was $50 80. The land
owner didn have the money with him
He could get it as soon as got 10 Mus
kogee where he had large bank &C.
count. He explained this to Bell and
asked him to loan him the money TIL
they got TO Muskogee. Bell, wishing
TO accommodate his future landlord,
told him he had just e.. II that would
do him any good he was welcome 10 It,
The two negroes conferred together for
short time and told Bell that they
could make ont with the 81. He gave
them the money and he and his pros
pectiye landlord came on TO Muskogee
together
When they landed at the Katy depot
the negro landlord gave Bell the slip
and he waited almost the entire day,
when 1t began to dawn upon his mind
that he had been buncoed
He told his story to Judge Leekley,
who sent Bass Reeves ont In search Of
the confidence men He found both Of
them, and fortunately for Bell they
