LAND OF woNDRoUs CAVES.
Were Hiding Places Of Outlaws Of the
Indian Territory.

Indian Territory.
From the Kansas City Journal
Jim Friday. desperate negro outlaw,
was the terror OF the Arbuckie mountains
for many years. but was finally hanged at
Fort Smith. Arkansas. In 1882. for the muir
der of a man and his wife near Fort Ar
buckle.
He first murdered the husband and car
ried the wife away into q cave nearby and
here forced her to remain until he grew
tired of her and then murdered her. The
bones of both victims were taken in a box
before Judge Parker and a jury. and when
Friday saw 1t was no use denying the
charge he confessed and told of several
other deeds still more horrible. United
States Marshal Mershon, who was known
as the "Sleuth" of the Arbuckles, captured
Friday in the cave, and it is said that Mer-
Shon knew of other caves in that locality
more wonderful than this one.
1t appears that outlaws would live in
these caves for months at a time and the
officers were powerless to dislodge them.
man living in Davis says that he knows
of caves within ten miles of Davis where
cattle have been slaughtered and their
heads and horns are still there as evidence,
in perfect state of preservation. There
are hooks and corners down there he says,
where an army of men could hide them
selves. and unless one knew just where to
look he would never find an entrance
1t is believed there is a large stream of
water running through all of the caves In
that vicinity. ranchman says that Honey
creek comes through the caves and offers
proof by showing the large springs which
gush out of the mountain side just above
Turner'S falls on Honey creek These falls
are widely known as the Little Niagara"
of the ChickaSaw Nation, and are visited by
thousands of people every year. The spring
Is believed to be the king cure-all and In
dams have made 1t their health resort for
many years.
Thomas Grant, cattleman and farmer,
who lives within mile of the old fort, says
caves abound in that part of the country,
and mentions one midway between Elk and
Foreman. small inland towns, that can be
seen from the wagon road. 1t is on the
very top of big hill In the prairie and a
few feet down it widens out into one vast
cave. From all appearances 1t must be a
wonderful place. This cave Is known as
dead mans hole from the fact that some
years ago the remains of a man were found
there who had been murdered. The cave is
wen ventilated and perfectly dry as far as
1t has been explored.

Houses Going Out of Fashion.
From the Providence journal.

From the Providence Journal
NO" said the Red Bridge carpenter,
shaking his bald head sadly, there isn't
going to be much building this spring; there
was nothing to speak of in the winter and
1t begins to look as II thered never be any
more building. Houses are going out of

whats happened?"
''The fresh air craze. Men who ply my
trade are complaining all over the country.
I've just been talking with man who
had plans drawn last fall for a fine estab-
Hshment. It's all OF with me- he said.
Why should father of a family put $4,000
or 100000 into a residence, stock 1t with
coal and hang on storm doors, IL he's got to
stumble over the forms of four daughters
stretched out on the piazza in a snow bliz-
zard every time he goes home after dark?
That's what I've been doing since Novem-
ber.' he went on. When it's freezing cold
my girls take the bed clothes and move
outdoors. and when they're not outdoors
they open all the windows above the first
floor and leave me trying to heat two Or
three miles of Waterman street. / haven't

seems that don't count. The girls who

the girls who are all right must sleep there

wife and l make any change We'll go and
board in the shanty of the crossing tender

heats things up. Then my daughters can
take off the roof Of the homestead and keep
house in the back yard Every other man

the carpenter 1.-The one order I've got

Marriage in Russia.
From Pesrsou's Weekly.

In Russia every woman of the peasant
class marries, or pretends to marry. II a
girl comes to the decision that no one In
tends to ask her to marry. she leaves home,
goes to some distant district and returns
after q time to announce that she is a
widow, that she went away to be married,
and that her husband has since died. No
embarrassing questions are put to her, for
among the peasants 1t is considered bad
form to mention a dead man to his widow
This curious custom goes 10 show in what
high regard the women of Russia look upon
the institution OF marriage.
