INDIAN RELICS.
Every White Man of Gold Seekers
Party Killed.

Every White Man Of Gold Seekers'
Party Killed.
An old rusty gun barrel and collec-
ton of arrowheads recently presented
to Oliver c. Hinkle by Charles Gibson,
the well known Indian writer and phi
lisopher Of Eufaula. are said to be the
relics of fierce battle many years ago
between a party of gold seekers and
Wyandotte Indians on the banks of the
Canadian river near Eufaula. T. T., in
which all the white men were killed.
Some time between the years 1900
and 1854 party Of fftyfour Mexican
and Spanish adventures. accompanied
by guide. left New Orleans in search
of gold. They had heard that the coun-
in precious metal. 1t was then Il lame
less wilderness inhabited only by row
ing bands of savage Indians. it being
several years before the five civilized
tribes went to the Indian Territory
After a long journey. overcoming
many difficulties and losing one of their
comrades by sickness. the party sue
ceeded in establishing a camp in the
hills northwest Of the present site of
Eufuula.
The gold seekers kept q close watch
for Indians, but one morning just be-
fore dawn they were surprised by
band of Shawnees. The battle ragged
for several hours. A number of the
white men were slightly wounded
lhey finally succeeded, however, in de-
f"atng the Indians, who retreated,
leaving many dead and wounded on
the field. After the fight the adven-
turers held council and decided to
give up their search for yellow treas
urc and return to their homes in the
southland.
This decision reached, tho members
of the party at once set about to con-
struct huge raft upon which the en-
tire party might float downstream.
When the raft was completed they all
stepped upon it and showed it out into
the current of the river.
They had hardly reached the center
when they were greeted with a series
Of blood curdling war whoops. and, look
ing to either bank, they saw redskins
emerging from behind every tree and
clump of bushes The timber seemed
to be alive with savages. The first
shower of arrows killed several of the
white men, who met the attack by u.s.
ing their crude firearms. Owing to
their crowded position on the raft the
gold seekers were at a great disadvan
tage, as they were unable to get under
cover.
Soon the raft drifted to one Of the
banks. where the Indians swarmed
down upon the white men, soon exter-
minating the party.
During the last few months numer-
GUS evidences of this battle have been
found, many skulls and human bones
having been plowed up by farmers.
A number of antiquated firearms and
cutlasses have alsoHbeen unearthed at
the place. the gun now in the posses
sion of Mr.. Rinkle being one of them.
It is believed that the bed of the Ca
madam river once flowed through the
place where these relics were found
and that the river has since changed |
its course. leaving the silent but elo-
quent reminders Of the fate of the I'M
fortunate gold hunters.-Kansas City

WHY BLAME THE FARMERS?

WHY BLAME The FARM Frs?
The farmers have no one except them
selves 60 blame for the present price of
cotton, If they had produced a ten
million bale crop last year, cotton would
have been away above ten cents The
farmers can regulate the price by not
making more cotton than the world
wants at good prices.-Guardian-J Jour
nal.
The Guardian Journal, published in
Home, Claiborne parish, is rather ex-
IRENE in its criticism. The farmers are
not to blame for the extraordinary and
almost unprecedented, season, which fav-
ored the full growth and maturity of a
top crop" and the gathering, with few
exceptions, Of almost every lock in the
field. Whatever damage resulted from
the boil .weevil. was more than compen-
stated by the increase in the top crop. 1t
is safe to say that it will be many years
before the cotton growers throughout
the South will have the advantages of
season whose results have exceeded all
reckonings, but, after all, it is not what
is called reproduction as it is un-
der-e consumption and speculation which
has led to the slump However, the ex-
perience acquired from this crop. has
doubtless demonstrated to the cotton
growers that a crop limited to The actual
demand will be more profitable than an
increase which will intensity speculation
against them.

HAD BRILLIANT CAREER
DISTINGUISHED SERVICE OF NEW
JAPANESE AMBASSADOR.

Vfscount Aoki, who comes as the first
ambassador from Japan to the United
States, has had a distinguished career in
the diplomatic service, from which he re-
tired about six years ago, when he was
called by the emperor to be one of the
privy councillors, the highest honor that
can be hoped for by the nobility. When
yet a young the new ambassador
went to Germany as a student and re-
ceived there training in the large univer-
sites Twice he was returned there as
minister. Naturally. German is the lam
guage with which he Is most familiar but
he speaks English readily.
1t is expected that as soon as the formal
approval of his selection is received from
this government the viscount, accompanied
by tho viscountess, who is of German
birth, the viscount having met and married
her while serving his country in Germany,
will come to this country without delay.
1t is believed here that the Japanese
government will purchase an embassy
building in this city. more conveniently
located than is the present legation. Wis
count Aoki Is about sixty years old and is
considered man of great ability. Before
entering the privy council he was twice
minister for foreign affairs, and Mr.. aka
hira, whom he succeeds here, served under
him as vice minister.

The Fiction of the Railroad Map.

FROM Leslle's weekly
1t will be found. we doubt not that 1T
pays TO tell the truth even in railroad ad-
vertising, and e. III. Hartman has just
established valuable precedent in this
respect for the railroad system which he
controls, and he deserves credit for 1t. II
has been the general practice of railroads
to print maps of their lines in such a way
as to make 1t appear that they are all
short cuts" or air lines between the
great centers connected by them, or
Through which they pass. which. of course,
is generally untrue and often seriously mis-
leading to the travelling public. Mr.. Har-
rirfan has ordered his passenger depart
ments to print hereafter maps of the va
rious Hartman roads showing the exact
course of the rails, whatever ii may be.
Circles zigzags and curves are to be rep
resented exactly as they exist. If this
means the usherfng in of an era of truth
fulness In the business and professional
world ell around, we shall rejoice and be
glad. When newspapers begin to tell the
truth about their circulation diplomats
become models of veracity, politicians emu
late the example of George Washington
with his hatchet. and people stop lying
about the amount of their taxable prop
erty we shall expect the millennium TO
hcave In sight shortly after.
