O'Rrten,n Statement.

Kansas City Feb. 17.-John O'Brien, Assistant General Manager If the Prai- rie oil and Gas Company, which ham dies the bulk of the crude oil produced In the Kansas and Indian Territory oil field. was in Kansas City today and dis cussed conditions in the Kansas field. where the opposition against the Stand ard Oil Company has been carried to such an extent that 1t is being made matter of national interest MT. O'Brien said
 The Prairie oil and Gas Company's determination to suspend further con- struction operations in the Kansas and Territory fields follows as a natural result of hostile agitation which was designed and carried out, mostly by stock jchbers, to injure the Prairie OH and Gas Company Cor the Standard oil Company, ss they term it). The only way in which these stock jobbers could ward of the consequence of an expo sure of their operations lay in securing plausible excuse with which to allay the clamor of stockholders.
 Few people realize the extent to which this stock jobbing business has been carried in Kansas. Here l might say that the handbook compiled by Matthews & McMahOn of Chanute, Kas., shows sixty of our companies each capitalized at $1,o0o,O00 and over. or an aggregate of about $74,000,000. with an aggregate production of 1,55s bar reis per day. or about twenty-one bar rels production per day to each million dollars of capital It will be readily seen that the wonderful promises made 10 stockholders have never been car ried out, and the only salvation for the promoters lay in the possibility of placing the blame on somebody and the Standard oil Company was selected as the target.
 Reports to the effect that we have posted notices declining to buy any Kansas oil are incorrect"

Selma, Feb. IT.

 In a letter to Lem Bailey. who would in all probability have manag z zhe local club. President Wneatley, or tue Cotton States League, assures him that Selma will get first consider ation when there occurs vacancy in the associations ranks.
 The head of the league says he real ises the advantages Selma offers for a place in the league and he Is anxious to get in the Ceptral City. It Is un- derstood that there are others in that association who are anxious to have Selma in the circuit.
 MT. Bailey thinks that Pine Bluff will drop out soon. Besides Pine Bluffs dissatisfaction there is prob ability of another league taking in Lhet city. Then. too, 1t is said that the Cotton States people had rather have Selma than Pine Bluff. Vlcks- burg, 1t appears. has decided to re- enter the association without murmur against Wheatley. realizing that such towns as Selma ad Jackson with prospeots nearly as good are eager to obtain membership and that the Cot ton States League can exist without her.
 Mfr, Bailey says he will wait on de- veIopments in that association. He thinks there Is yet q chance for Sel- ma. however slim It may be. The Hattiesburg move has upset also the plans for the six club league com prising Selma, Biloxi and Gulfport among the towns.
 Latham is making arrangements to bring his Indian team to this city this summer to make headquarters here but there are many who are doubtful as to the success of the venture.

love for the dashing young officer.
That night General Beal, with a few
chosen soldiers, marched to the can
yOn where the Indians were in hiding
and surprised them in the midst of
their war dance. They were covered
from head to foot with war paint and
the light from the blazing camp fires
made them easy targets for the prac-
ticed aim of the white men. The diff
ficulty was settled once for all.
The Hualapai tribe was shattered.
Although the chief lived and many of
his warriors, their spirit was broken
and they decided that it was wiser to
be the white mans friend than his
enemy.
As one Of the wives of the chief,
Levy held a position in the tribe
greatly envied by all the other squaws.
The chiefs two first wives died. so
Levy was Charley's only means of
support, for the chief would not lower
his dignity by working.
Levy washed for the white people
in the town and made the finest bask-
cts of any squaw in her tribe. Her
one joy in life was her son Johnnie,
whom she aimed to bring up in more
llSllCOuS way lAdu lllOSt VI llo
father. She had great aspirations for
him.
One day Levy was presented with
a cast off Fauntleroy blouse and flam-
ing red ribbon tie. His mother was
nightly pleased, Johnnie stood be-
fore her in all his glory, but still his
face wore a ,martyred look. The
blouse and tie were in their right
places, but, alas, that was as far as
ii went. From the waist down John
ME was clothed only in his natural
state.
That was the beginning of Johnnie's
civilization. He was sent to the In
dian school at Phoenix, where he is
now a member of the band, and a
very p|resentable youth in his gray
uniform.
Hualapai Charley became a brute
from drink, and poor Levy
had to bear the bIunt of his i'll humor
and abuse. While up in the noun
tains gathering pine nuts this summer
Levy caught cold. Not having the
proper care her condition grew worse
and one day Charley came home
crazed by bad whiskey and beat her
to death. Charley went to jail for a
few weeks instead of being trans
formed into a Good Indian by due
process of law, as he deserved.
Whenever Levy saw a military
| uniform a tender look would come in.
to her eyes and the little droOp to
| the shoulders that followed was the
only outward sign she ever gave OF
the heart tragedy which had early
come into the life Of the pretty In.

HOW UNCLE SANS SOLDIER BOYS
WERE SAVED BY AN INDIAN MAIDEN

Kingman. Ariz., Sept. 26.-In the
death of Levy the Hualapai tribe
has lost a heroine and the American
government a friend. The Indian curio
buyers 100 will miss her basket work

which has gladdened the hearts of
many collectors. But the poor old
squaw has gone to the Happy Hunt
ing Ground
While General Beal was stationed at
Fort Beal, near Kingman, Ariz., dur
ing the Indian uprising, Levy, then a
pretty little squaw, came to sell her
wares. She was slim and graceful
and the young officers made mucn OF
her. At the time Levy appeared very
shy and not until long after did they
discover her love for a certain dash
ing young lieutenant.
The chief of the tribe, now known as
~Hualapai Charley had laid cunning
plans for the massacre of all the of
Gers and soldiers in Fort Beal, and
about the same time, Levy was
chosen by Charley 10 be his third
wife. The pretty little squaw could
not disobey, for the chiefs word is
law. But she determined 10 warn her
lieutenant at Fort Beal of his danger,
So taking some baskets with her TO
avoid suspicion. she stole into the
tort on her hands and knees. She
asked for the lieutenant, much 10 the
amusement of the other officers, and
Jhe discomfort of the lieutenant him
self.
Sot knowing English enough to
make herself understood she acted the
whole raid out IN pantOmine. The Of
ncers gathered about Levy as she
illustrated the stealthy approach OF
