A FIGHT ON A ROUGH RIDER.
Comrades i'm Oklahoma Say Edward
Norris Dealt Unfairly With
Them.

Guthrie, Okla.-A number Of Ok
lahomans. who served in the Rough
Rider regiment in Cuba, will attempt
to defeat the appointment Of Ed
ward Norris, also a Rough Rider, as
postmaster at Mulhall. Norris
claims to have the assurance Of Pres
ident Roosevelt that he will be given
the place. The complaint made
afainst Norris Is that he dealt un-
fairly with his Oklahoma comrades
when they were aboard transport
at Key West on their way to Cuba.
They allege that Norris had permis-
sion to go ashore, which was denied
the others, and that he bought pies
and cakes at six for twenty-five cents
and sold them aboard at twenty-five
cents each, even though he had
messed among the Oklahoma volun-
teers without cost to himself all the
way from Oklahoma to the coast.

FRIGHTENED THE NEGROES.

Mangum, Okla.-SiX negroes, who
had been taken to the neighborhood
of Blake by Greer county farmers
and given employment as cotton
pickers, were visited at night about
two weeks ago by a party of white
men opposed to the coming of ne
groes to Greer county, and so badly
frightened that the six men fled. In
the district court this week thirty
nine men and boys were indicted for
melting a riot. Ten were allowed
to plead guilty to a misdemeanor and
were fined $40 and costs. An at
tempt will be made to inhict a more
severe punishment upon the other
defendants. Judge c. f. Irwin an
nounced from the bench that the
prosecution was not in defense Of
the negroes, but to uphold the laws
Of the territory.

Many a fishing crew, sleeping sound
ly in their hunks, have been awakened
by the crash of collision, only to find
themselves borne downward beneath
the icy waters before they can reach
the deck.
When disaster comes there Is less
chance of rescue In those Arctic re-
gions than there would be further
south. The fishing fleets are widely
scattered and few other vessels are

man takes more than an even chance

This terrible tax upon human life
has resulted in the establishment of
a memorial day.
Upon a certain morning in mid
winter children cast flowers upon the
waters of the harbor-one flower for
each victim Of the sea during the pre-
ceding year. Then the fishermen and
their families gather in the city hall
for memorial services. The roll OF
the dead is called, prayers are said
and there are addresses.
Why do men follow such hazard
Gus calling? There are mouths ashore

Naturally the fishermen get better
| wages than other sailors, having
share in the proceeds of the catch. as
general thing. Most Of them are
fairly prosperous, owning their own
homes and possessing snug bank ac-
| counts.
! No Gloucester fisherman ever sails
away to the Northern banks, however,
with anything like assurance that he
will see his home again.

foe and some of them sent to a wa
terry grave.
Fishing is done from small boats, or
Gories, of which each sailing vessel
carries eight or a dozen. Each dory
is manned by two fishermen.
1t is from these little craft, frail
enough at best, but helpless in the
ice, that most of the fishermen are
lost.
Crowdng on sail, the schooner may
escape from the threatening mass, but
the dories caught in it are in des-
perate plight.
The men may crawl upon the NOV
ing ice, but that does not always mean
safety. Borne swiftly on the south
bound current, they are often carried
far beyond the reach Of help. When
their schooners finally sail back into
Gloucester, flags are at half mast and
more names are added to the list Of
the seas victims, to be read at the
next annual memorial services.
Often far south of the fishing banks
will be seen mute evidences of trag-
edy upon some floating cake OF ice. 1t
may be lot of seamen's gear, few
tin cans, perhaps, or even a dory, but
no sign of life.
The sight Of vessel coming into
harbor with her ensign at half-mast Is
all too frequent at Gloucester. And
many a fine craft sails jauntily away
to the North, never to be heard from
| again.
Overwhelmed by foe or berg, per-
! haps, or run down in fog by liner,
the vessel vanishes with all hands on
| board, leaving not trace Of the man
ner in which death overlook them.
A number of vessels are lost by
dragging their anchors in a sudden
storm. One unmanageabe craft
will crash into another, and the two,
locked in deadly embrace, may
Ilunge upon third, and all go to the
bottom.
Fishermen always keep their ears
open for the sound Of an approaching
steamer. When the fog Is so thick
that one can scarcely see the end Of
the bowsprit, there is especial dan
ger from these steam-driven giants,
with their sharp iron bows that crush
down the little wooden fishing vessels
as though II were a floating house of
cards.
For steamers do not always follow
the law and slow down during fog.

Fishermen and others assert that
they heard heavy cannonading off KAN

Those who saw Admiral Roiestvensky
prior to his departure, say he is suf-
fering from dysentery, accompanied
by severe pains. AL the officers and
crews Of the Russian ships appeared to
be full of confidence.
1t is believed here that it is Admiral
Roiestvensky' intention to do every
thing possible to have Admiral Nebo-

decisive battle. A torpedoboat de-
stroyer is patrolling the COAST.

Minneapolis May having closed at 9TH

and how low it will go before the ex-
element subsidies, no one can tell.
Flour prices were reduced again and
are now down almost to $3.50 a barrel
from ruling quotations of few weeks
ago. Minneapolis millers are glad that
the unnatural situation resulting from
the Chicago manipulation has given way
to more legitimate conditions. Flour
trade has been dead and there is little
doing yet, but once the wheat market
settles upon some substantial basis
many buyers who have held off fol
months will replenish their stocks.
