Il. &r'ai and Daughter.

Rock Hill! cor. Yorkvillo En-
Quirer: Rev. w. II. Arial had
very narrow escape from scri
Gus injury in a runaway scrape
Saturday afternoon. He had
started to the country, accom-
panied by his little daughter,
kaihaline, to visit one Of his
members aud when opposite the
home of George Laurey, on Et.
enezsr avenue, he noticed t,.at
his ~og was following the buggy
and got out to run the animal
back home, leaving his little
girl IN too buggy alone. Tho
horse became frightened and
dashed off, Mr. Arial ran at
once to the rescue OF his child
and grabbed the lines, but as
he did so ho was struck by one
OF the wiieai4 and knocked down.
Two Of the wheels passed over
his body after ne fell to the
ground but he held on to the
lines until some Que ran up and
stopped the horse. He received
several very painful bruises on
the head and face and was u3sd
up very roughly in general but
after having physician to dress
his wounds he continued his
journay and filed his usual ap-
pointucnta at Aduah and Antioch
on Sunday.

Newport daily independent., 1904-10-12

Is the famous Apache Chief, who has been a prisoner of war since his capture by Capt. H. W. Law ton, under General Nelson A.. Miles in 1885, and has been, since the opening of the New Country in 1901, peaceful and law abid- | ing citizen of Comanche county, Oklahoma.
 But the townsite which will perpetuate his name and make hints of money for all those who take advantage of the chances it affords to investors is situated on the c. R. 1. 6 P. railroad, ten miles south of Lawton, near the northeast corner of the big cat tie reserve, which contains 5000 fine farms or 480, ,0O0 acres,- and which will undoubtedly soon be open to homestead entry.
 Persons looking for a safe bus mess inducement should not fail to avail themselves of this oppor- tunity for a good investment.
 The new town being fortunate ly situated just atthe gateway of this large tract of the choicest farm lands in Oklahoma is bound to profit much thereby. The fa- nous Cache Creek Valley, in which the town is situated, has already been styled the garden spot of the great territory. The large country already settled tributary to the town, and it's distance from competing points will make Geronimo a good busi- ness point from the start.
Newport daily independent., 1904-10-12

There will be no waiting for railroads, as the Rock Island al- ready has a station built on: the townsite.
 The Town Company is com posed of some of the best busi- ness men in Oklahoma and they are determined to build up a town which will fully come up to the requirements of the splendid country by which it is surround | ed.
 A few lots have already been sold and business has been es- tablished thereon as follows: There is one bank, The Citizens Bank of Geronimo. two general stores, a drug store, hotel, post office and a number of dwelling houses. The railroad company has erected a good depot build ing, have built a section house and put in stock yards and man. ifested a disposition to help make Geronimo one of the best towns in the Southwest.
 RULES.
 First. About 600 lots have been placed on the market at the uniform price of $30.00 each. A cash Rayment of $7.50 must be made to the agent at the time of making application, 5000 on or before Nov. 1st, 1904, and SIP 50 on or before Nov. 18th, 1904. The last two payments are to be made to Geo. M. Dizney, Sec. and Treas, Billings, Okla. It is agreed, however, that if the ap- plicant desires to pay the full amount at time of making the application that the agent is en- powered to receive the same and to give the applicant a receipt in full, allowing him a discount of three per cent for cash.
 Second. It is agreed and un- derstood that good warranty deeds to each and all of these lots shall be made at the time of the opening by the Town Compa- ny to those entitled to the same as shown by the applications and receipts. It is also agreed that a majority of the purchasers present on the day of the open ing shall elect d committee of
Newport daily independent., 1904-10-12

three from among their number who shall agree upon some fair and lawful plan of distribution of the lots so purchased, and that neither the Town Company nor any member thereof shall have anything whatever to do with such distribution, but shall exe- cute the deeds in accordance with the instruction of the said pur- chasers' committee aforesaid, whose decision in the matter shall be final.
 Third. In the event of the formation of any town clubs for the purchase of twenty-four lots according to the conditions of the printed club sheet, issued by this company for subscription of the names and addresses of the mem- bers, the Town Company agrees to furnish free transportation to Geronimo on the opening day for one representative of each and every club so formed, provided that the payments for the club are all made as per con- tract.
 Fourth. Each applicant will be notified by mail ten days in ad- vance of the date of the opening at the address given on his ap- plication.
 CONCLUSION.
 In conclusion we wish to say that the Town Company consid- CTS these lots worth much more money to investors than the low price of $30.O0 each, but on ac- count of other financial interests. have decided to make this the best business proposition on town property ever offered to the pub lie in order to close out at once and immediately establish a fiourishing business town in keeping with the demands of the excellent country by which it is surrounded.
 Make your application at once, as the chance will be of short du- ration. See

LeIshman 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

After some signs of strength during the first part of the week cotton became weak and declined to the lowest point in some time. There was some little doubt in the news to account for the weak ness, and 1t looked to us If some unex- tended bull account was being liquidated The general news was bullish and the re- ports from every state all indicate a considerable amount of deterioration, and an almost certainty that the estimate of a yield of 12,5OO,000 bales will be greatly reduced, and we doubt if crop of more than 10,500.000 bales will be harvested. While the cotton receipts at primary ports have been large, the demand from Europe has been large. The government monthly report will be issued at noon Monday, and will give a more accurate idea as to the progress and condition Of the crop. We look for lower percentage, and that the report will show greater damage than is generally looked for. The short interest has become large and the technical position of the market stronger than it has been for some time. We would not care to be short of the market under present condition and consider cotton pIrchase.
