game

Muskogee, J. r., May With
in The past few days there have
been twenty-five head of horses
stolen within a few miles Of Coweta
northeast of this city twenty miles,
and today Chas. Hobbs was arrest
ed at Coweta, John Wilkinson at
Muskogee and Jim Ritter at Brook
ed, all charged with either stealing
them or resolving them after they
were stolen.
The horses were running on the
range near Coweta and belonged to
farmers. The thieves swooped
down upon them, rounded up the
twenty-five head and drove them
out Of the country. Hobbs lived
at Coweta and disappeared at the
time the horses were stolen. He
returned today and vas arrested.
The other two were arrested with
some of the stolen property in their
possession and they are believed to
know all about the thieves. It IS
understood hat they are willing to
tell Of the three companions who
were with them and assisted in
stealing the horses. Three OF the
stolen horses have been recovered
and it is likely that the rest Of them
have been run out Of the country
and sold.

Big Hotel in the Woods
Tavern Inside the Worlds Fair
Grounds, Surrounded by a Forest
Offers a Luxurious and Restful
Retreat.

The comfort for the visitor to an
exposition was never the subject
for 50 much intelligent thought
and preparation as it has been
at St. Louis.
One of the features that cannot
fail to appeal to the visitor is the
convenience and comfort afforded
by the Inside Inn, a structure Of
a,257 rooms. covering an area Of
400 bp 900 feet, wholly within the
Worlds Fair grounds.
Probably no hotel ever built
commands a view so diversified or
grand. From the wide verandas
that surround the mammoth struc.
ture a wonderful panorma spreads
before one. Many Of the state
buildings, with their gaint and
magnificent structures, present
their most attractive facades. Some
Of the forgeign buildings may be
seen, and the forest Of towers and
turrets, domes and minarets, rising
above the great exhibit palaces
that may be seen through the forest
Of real trees that surrounds the
hostelry.
A leisurely walk Of five minutes
will land one on the main terrace
in front Of the Festival Hall, the
center Of the main picture" Of the
Exposition, the grandest spectacle
ever produced by man. Another
FIVE Minutes walk and the visitor
may find himself on The Pike, a
street Of amusement, a full mile
long, with the shows Of all nations
in gay and enticing array.
In the ten minutes walk many
| Of the main exhibit palaces have
been passed. These comprise the
largest and grandest collection of
architural triumphs ever assembled
in any one place. Notwithstanding
its close proximity TO these scenes
Of gaiety and splendor, noise and
confusion, the Inside Inn offers a
delightful retreat. During the noon
hour the visitor may retire for a
brief rest and resume his de-
lightful task Of sightseeing refr4sb-
ed and all the more able to appre-
ciate and enjoy the Worlds Fair
wonders.
The rates at this hotel are no
higher than charged elsewhere. A
good room may be had for 81. SO
per day, including admission to
the grounds. Other rooms may
