INDIAN TERRITORY
BANK ROBBERY

South McAlister, l. T.. Dec. Pa
gang of five bank robbers looted the
bank in Kiowa. a small town sixteen
miles north OF here, at 3 o'clock yes
terday morning. and escaped after sew
eral hundred shots had been ex-
changed between the robbers and a
posse of fifty citizens of kiowa.
The robbers dynamited the safe and
secured about 1880 in cash. some OF
which is believed to have been mutilat-
ed by the explosion. The bank build
ing was partially wrecked, the damage
to the building being about 81 500.
An entrance to the bank was gained
by the use of crowbars. through a rear
window. While two Of the men did the
work of blowing the safe. three re-
mained outside the building as guards.
The first explosion was failure, max
ing loud report, but doing little dam
age. The citizens heard the noise, and
arming themselves with revolvers aad
shotguns, hurried to the bank.
At the command Of leader Of the
citizens, volley was fred at the rob-
shutters. The fire was returned by the
guards secreted on the outside.
While the two men on the inside
worked. the three men outside kept up
a steady fusilade with the posse of cit
liens. 1t took three explosions to open
the safe.
After the last explosion the burglars
gathered up the money and, leaving
through the front of the bank, got
away in the darkness. The posse fol
lowed the gang for some distance, but
lost the trail.
While the citizens believe that one
Of the robbers was injured, not one OF
the citizens was struck. The latter
were protected from the fire of the rob-
bers by stock pens in the rear Of the
bank building.

BEET GROWERS
ASSOCIATION

Denver Dec. 27.-A Fort Collins
special to the News last night says:
The Farmers Beet Growers Associ-
alton met this afternoon at the District
Court room and elected officers for the

,Clelland, president; Peter Anderson,
vice president; R. @. Tenney. secre-
tary; 1. B. Harris, E. l.. Abel. Hugh
Strachan and J. l.. Smith, executive
committee. Another committee, con-
sisting of J. S. McClelland, Walter
Iaidlaw, r. Bumpstead and F. Breni-
man, was appointed, whose business
will be to represent the association in
conference with the sugar factory man
agement in regard to the price that will
be paid for beets in the future.
IA resolution was presented and
unanimously passed that not q mem
Der Of the association would sign con-
tracts to grow beets at the advanced
schedule offered by the sugar factory
people. Most of the farmers live at
such a distance from the factory that
lit will be necessary for them to snip
heets. and the increase offered rev
weeks ago only means 25 cents per ton
to these farmers, and they do not re-
gard that amount as being any induce
ment.
The association adjourned this even
Ing to meet again at the call OF the
president, which will probably be with

tract is now the principal topic OF In

growers of northern Colorado.
The sugar factory people have their
agents out among the beet growers and
they report that the men who last year
made money raising beets are signing
the new contract, and in some instances
are doubling their acreage grown last
year

No court has any power to make

EVENTS IN WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS-
Civilized Indian Tribes.

The annual report OF the commission
to the five civilized tribes which. for
a decade has been engaged in Indian
Territory in the task of dissolving tri-
bal governments, cXtinguishing com
munaI title to the land. vesting pos
session and title in severalty among
the citizens of the tribes and assimi-
lating tribal conditions generally to
American citizenship standards, says
that the work will be disposed of by
the end of the fiscal year, 1906"
Regarding recent revelations in tho
territory, the report says:
The same interests are opposed ito
the completion of this business that
We're opposed to its being commenced.
and as the end draws near they pursue
with redoubled energy the same tao
tics of obstruction. fault-finding, eX-
aggeration. slandcr and all manner OF
false statements in order TO confuse
the situation, muddy the waters and
embarrass hinder and prevent the con
clusion of the work. But every con
sideratiOn of legitimate interest calls
for the firm and consistent maintc-
nance OF the past and present policy
of the government; and we only ask
Of Congress and the administration,
whose instruments we are. that before
they heed these extraordinary state
mentS, yet not more extraordinary
than those of 1898. they hear both
Eides now. as then. and we venture
the assertion that inquiry will develop
that they are false in substance and
are voiced by men whom we have
foiled or are seeking to foil in unlaw
ful and predatory practices. or by the
credulous and deluded followers of
such men"
To check the speculation in pine
timber on the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw lands the commission recommends
the sale OF the standing pine under
sealed bids.
The report says that in administer
ing upon the five great estates con
stituting the lands of these tribes. ag
gregating 20,000,00O acres, the com
, mission has passed upon nearly 200
600 applications for citizenship enroll

Denver, Dec 27-That Governor Pea
body is supreme in declaring martial
law, and that no court in the country
can interfere with him in the enforce

set up by Attorney General Miller in
his answer to the habeas corpus pro

and A. G. Paul in the Supreme Court.

begins by relating the facts in the
cases. including the various proclama-

to the arrest Of the two men. The an

Your respondent respectfully repre-
sents and shows that it is not his pur-

said Poole in his custody a. such com

his judgment it is safe, and the present
insurrecton in Teller county has been
suppressed and ceases to exist, that he
will cause information to be filed in the

petitioner.
Your respondent further shows to

Wheat from the North Pacific
Coast,

There are some advantages in being
a nation Of vast territorial extent. The
wheat crop of the middle west has been
very unsatisfactory this year, yielding,
perhaps, not enough for domestic con-
sumption. But out on the Pacific coast
they have had the largest crop in tn cir
history. Oregon, Idaho and Washing
ton have produced about 45,0O0,OOO
bushels of wheat. The North Pacific
states have plenty of wheat to spare;
the east and the middle west need wheat.
The railways are called upon to make
special rates, eastern buyers hurry to
the coast, and presently a golden stream
of wheat begins to move from the eX-
IRENE northwestern part of the United
States to all parts Of the Mississippi
valley. Much Of this wheat will be
hauled over two thousand miles. To
Duluth alone 100000 bushels are COM
ing, and it will take 5000 freightcars
to handle the business. The extreme
east will get it's Pacific coast wheat by
boat around the Horn.
1t takes such condition of the
wheat market as the present to edu-
cate the American people up to the
vast extent and wonderful productive
ty Of their own country. The news
the people are now reading in the pa
pers about these extraordinary wheat
shipments is the first intelligence many
of them have had that out in the ex-
IRENE northwestern states there are
magnificent wheatfelds, covering mil.
lions of acres. The wheat is soft, it is
true, and is not 50 valuable as the hard
wheat of the middle northwestern
states, but it averages a much larger
yield to the acre. For ten years Wash
ington has enjoyed an average wheat
production of 20.3 bushels to the acre
while in 1901 it was more than twenty
nine bushels to the acre. In fact, Wash
ington leads all the states having q
considerable wheat acreage in the av
erage yield per acre.
