Statehood

Simply Hot Air
Admissions

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 12,--Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in the house
committee on territories have practic-
ally reached an agreement rega:ding
the admission of Oklahoma aud IN
dian territory to joint statehood. They
differ regarding New Mexico and Ari.
zona and as a result two reports will
be made. The majority report if the
present plan is carried out, will favor
the admission of Oklahoma AMI Indian
territory as one state and of New
Mexico and Arizona as one sta.e The
minority report will make one state

provide for lhe admission of New Mex

ma, when informed this morning that
a majority of the Republican mem
bers of the committee favored joint
statehood asserted that no agreement
to that effect could be obtained His
confidence, however is not shared by
other Oklahomans here. Divisions in

have played havoc with McGuires
presentations to his party colleagues.
The most disastrous speech was that
by Mr. Jones Of Oklahoma Ciy, who
denied that his party platform on the
subject had any greater significance
than a temporary political expediency
Mr.. Jones asserted that he made Re
publican speeches in Western Ol1laho-
ma for separate statehood and in east
ern Oklahoma for joint statehood.
Bird Mcclure was uncertain this
morning whether or not he would ac-
cept on the part of Oklahoma such
bill as it was proposed to present.
If an understanding similar to that
obtained on the house side can be Sc
cured among the senators it will mean
statehood legislation for Oklahoma
and Indian territory at this session
of congress. Democratic house mem
bers fear that the senate will not
agree to pass the Joint statehood bill
admitting Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory unless there is an equally bind
ing understanding regarding New
Mexico and Arizona. Representative
Lloyd of Missouri, the Democratic
whip. member of the house commit
tee on territories. said this morning:
Il believe that Oklahoma and the
Indian territory will be admitted as
one state at this session Of congress.
That state will be Democratic and the
Republicans will have a state out of
New Mexico, which will just as GER
tainly be Republican. This agree
ment between the two par les is the
only chance for statehood Of aay
kind"

II had forgotten to tell you that he
was the victim of a railroad accident,
and had been supplied with a wooden
leg and arm. His right arm was as
good as ever, and when he named pis-
tolls as the weapons he was in no sense
handicapped by the accident. We met,
the usual surroundings. and at the first
fire the judge fell to the earth.
Il had only fired to wound him, and
my grief was sincere when I saw him
laying dead, as I supposed. 1t wasn't
as bad as that, however. My bullet
had entered and shivered his wooden
leg, and he got up smiling. The sec
onds insisted that my honah was sat
isfed, and so the judge and 1 adjourn
ed and had breakfast together and
vowed that we were the best of friends.
That breakfast had not yet been con-
Guided when he turned to me and said:
a. Colonel, that charge was a magnif-
icent thing. but had you waved your
sword seven instead of six times it
would have lived in history a hundred
years longer
THAT brought up the matter again,
and it wasn't ten minutes before the
dispute waxed hot. In fact, the judge
went so far as to intimate that pre-
varicated, and of course 1 challenged
him on the spot His prompt accept
ance did him credit. A date three days
ahead was named, and again we faced
each other at sunrise. had his wooden
leg in mind this time, and determined
to put a bullet where he would feel
it.
1--WE fired at the word. and again he
went down, while his bullet sang close
to my ear. The man lay for two min
utes as if dead, and 1 had begun to
reproach myself when he suddenly sat
up and smiled into my face My bull
let had lodged in his wooden arm. 1t
seemed to me that I had suffered in
my prestige to some extent but as he
was an old friend I overlooked the
matter and again invited him to a spe-
cially prepared breakfast.
ION this occasion everything passed
off tremendously, if not hilariously, but
two days later the judge enters my Of
fee to say:

about that charge of yours the more
wish that you had kept your head

COLONEL BUNKER.
He Tells of His Duel With Judge
Brady.
BY M. QUAD.


while have had the honah to par
ticipate in no less than one hundred
and twenty duels.'' said Colonel Bun
ker, as he lighted his cigar and leaned
back in his chair, Il would not have
the public get the impression that I
have been a Thereafter.
ION the contrary, sub, I, have been
a man of peace, and I can truthfully
say that have had to challenge or be
challenged in order to protect my rep
utation. OF all the duels I was ever
engaged in perhaps the affair with
Judge Brady attracted the most at
tention. The judge had been life
long friend of mine, and the cause of
our duel, or, rather series of duels, was
trifiing in itself.
Let me explain to yo', sub, that
Napoleon was my ideal of a general,
and that when I went to. wah I had
his tactics constantly in mind. For
instance, when 1 put myself at the
head of my regiment at Fair Oaks for
a charge waved my sword around
my head seven different times and call
ed upon my brave men to do or die.
That was Napoleonic. In his tactics
nor less. I was somewhat excited with
the heat of battle, as was natural, but
1 have always felt positively certain
that 1 got the right number of waves.
If got too few or too many it would
have been commented on at the time.
Not a word w"s said, and our brave
charge was mentioned in general orders
ar.d many of the under officers pro-
NOTED.
Well sui tho Wah had been over
for five years, when along comes Judge
Brady one day and finds fault with the
number of sword waves, claiming that
I had given but six instead of the usual
Our dispute at first was in all good
nature, but the judge finally grew ag--
gressive and I had to challenge him to
mortal combat. He had never fought
a duel in his life, and he knew my rep
utation as duelist, but he did not hes
itate for the fraction of a second.
