HE MAY RESIGN.
United States Marshal Bennett Will
Retire From Office,

Muskogee, l. II, Jan. 1T is believed
by friends of Leo E. Bennett, United
States marshal for the western district
of the Indian territory, that before his
term Of Office expires in 1906 he will ten
der his resignation to the department of
justice. Mr. Bennett does not deny that
he has such a course under contempla
ton. but declared that he did not ex-
pect to do so for some time. and in any
event not within six months. Tho reason
given out by Mr. Bennett for wishing
to resign is his wifes health which for
some time has not been the best. This
is one of the best federal positions in the
Indian territory and as soon as his resg
nation has been made it is likely that
candidates for it will espring up like
mushrooms. It is said that several poll
ticians who have been informed of Mr..
Benefits intended action have already
set their hearts toward securing the po-

An extra freigh. train passed. this city
at about that hour and when il reached
Mooreland. four miles west. ii struck j.
W. Mcneil and threw his about eighty
feet before he hit the ground, ard plowed
along about the surface os much further
He was dead when the first person reach
ed him, and no doubt death was instan-
tareous. The train was going at the
rate Of about thirty miles an hour. and
the engineer did not see Mr.. Mcneil until
after the accident. Both his legs and neck
were broken and several other places on
his body bruised. The deceased was an
old soldier and went to Kansas from Ohio
soon after the civil war. He lived in sew
eral counties in that state and came here
from Clark county about six years ago
and located on a claim about three miles
north of this city. He had just moved
70 MooTeland and was crossing the rail-
road when the main part OF town to MS
home north when the accident happened
1t is a mystery why he did not see the
train coming. but many think he sup
posed it was the evening passenger train
that stopped at the depot. just east Of
where the accident occurred, and that 1t
would not reach him.
He leaves a devoted wife, seven sons
and two daughters to mourn his death
The wife and all the children but sons,
J. Z. and J. H, the former living at
Edgewood, O. T.. and the latter in CALI
fornia, were present at the funeral cere-
monies, which was held in Mooreland,
SATURDAY., and attended by larger con-
couse of citizens than ever was seen at
funeral in this locality.

MADE AN ESCAPE.
Prisoners Awaiting Trial Break JaI!
and Disappear.

Mountain View o. T.. Jan. about
two o'clock on the morning of the 18th,
Chas. Fisher and John Dority, who We're
confined in the Jail awaiting trial, broke
open the door of the Jail and made their
escape. says the Republican From APP
pearance they, no doubt, had assistance
from some one on the outside, as there
is evidence of a crowbar's use on the
door, which was pried off its hinges, after
one hinge had been sawed or broken of.
1t is thought that one of the prisoners
had concealed in his clothing a burglars
hack saw, which evidently was used to ef-
feet their escape. Night Waterman j.
Stphens was away at the time of the de-
livery and W. Anderson was left on guard
duty From all accounts it seems that
Anderson did not know of the escape I'M
til Stephens returned and made the dis
covery about o'clock. He gave the
alarm and searching parties were sent
out, but up to the present time nc trace
of the prisoners has been found. Fisher
was charged of disposing of mortgaged
property and of breaking Jail some
months ago at Hobart. Dority is accused
of having set fire to restaurant in
Mountain Park a few weeks ago.

land in Kay county, Oklahoma. in con-
vendon assembled do hereby most en-
phaticaIly protest against such excessive
RAISE for the following reasons:
First The producing value of these
lands have diminished rather than in
creased.
Second. The raise in rental Is unneces-
sary because the revenue is not needed at
the present time for any purpose.
Third. If the selling value Of these lands
have increased it is partly the result OF
our efforts.
Fourth. In many cases all the profits
derived from, these lands have been re-
turned to the lands in improvements, ex-
pecting and hoping to own these homes
at some not far distant day Be it further
Resolved. That we believe tilat the board
for leasing school land should be made
uplargely of actual farmers, and that this
