THE CHAMPION PEDESTRIAN
Stephenson Did n Mile Stunt. A
Swift" Man

Henry Stephenson one of the
salesmep for Swift & Co. here went
to Lindsay Tuesday to sell meat
He expected to come back on the
returning train but reached the
station just in time to see the rear
end Of the train disappearing
around the curve.
He was disappointed of course
andashe thoughtof staying inLind-
say "a hours his disappointment
turned to anger. 1t is suspected
that he said things but no steno-
grapher was present to catch
them. The roads were impossible
and to drive through was out of
the question. Then he made
a desperate resolve-he would
walk.
The pedestrian left Lindsay
about II O o'cleck, stopped an hour
at Bradley for dinner and reached
Chickasha about Sp. M. inaklng
the entire distance of ~ miles in
s hours. 1t was bad walking too.
He counted the ties till the num-
Der got SO big he couldn't carry it
in his head. Experts figure that
he stepped on 100, 900 ties. Stephen
son says he has always been
somewhat of walker and this
stunt has proved his claim to the
championship. He was well-nigh
exhausted when he reached home
but felt no bad effects next day.
Swift & Co, have few men as swift
as Stephnson,

HISTORIC SPOT
Oldest House in Indian Territory - At
Fort Gibson---An effort will be
Made to Preserve il.
MANY CELEBRATED MEN,
Visited There in Early Days--Where
Stanley Taught School.

An effort is now being made TO
preserve the "old church on the
hill' at Fort Gibson, I. T., the
oldest building in that territory.
II was the old garrison church at
Fort Gibson during all the early
days of theWest and was afterward
used as a school house, with Henry
w. Stanley, then young man, as
the teacher.
The old building has been oc-
cupied continuously since 1882.
Gen. Hazen. while residing here,
was married and brought to the
fort his bride, Miss Mclean of
Cincinnati, Ohio, now the wife of
Admiral George Dewey. She is
said to have been the most stylish
woman who ever lived in Fort
Gibson, and occupied the large
stone building still standing on
Garrison hill Many people in
the old town remember her well.
Fort Gibson, the oldest town in
Indian Territory, is rich is historic
lore, much of which has been writ
ten, but most of which is yet un,
recorded. Settled shortly after
the Louisiana purchase, there was
established a military post in 1879.
Many notable and distinguished
men have lived there-some now
resting in the United States nation
al cemetery. about a mile from the
old fort. where 4. 459 soldiers are
buried, and where may be seen the
names of a number of celebrated
soldiers, scouts and warriors who
figured years ago in border and
Indian warfare. Among the num-
Der is the noted Seminole chief,
Billy Bowlegs. who fought with
Osceola at the battle of Wahoo
swamp, where Gen. Dade was
killed and the American troops
were rot1ted After the treacher-
Gus capture Of Osceola, Bowlegs
joined the American army and was
assigned 10 the rank of captain, a
fact recorded on the tombstone at
the head o. his grave.
Stanley the African explorer, at
one time taught subscription
school at the fort, occupying the
old frame building. still standing
near the old public square.
Washington Irving, the noted
American writer, visited Fort Glib
son and wrote his Tales of a
Traveller" in a tent just outside the
old parade ground on Garrison hill.
In 1916 the poet Longfellow, on
tour OF observation in the West,
visited Fort Gibson by the way OF
the Arkansas and Grand rivers.
Next year appeared the most loved
OF all his poems, "Evangeline, "
where scenery in the vicinity Of
Fort Gibson is graphically and
beauti 'ully described.
The Oldest building in Indiar
territory, mentioned above as be
ing located at Fort Gibson, is o
hewn logs, which have been cover
ed with boards. Before its spaciou,
fireplace, still in use, many notable
have warned themselves General.
Scott, Taylor, Jeff Davis, Rober
E. Lee, Mcclellan and others. Gen
Taylor lived in the old house will
his family, including his daughter
Miss Betty who married Jei
Davis.

SEWER SYSTEM
Accepted by the Council With Condition
Attached---High Praises for the
Contractors
4 NEW WATERWORKS PLAN.
City Attorney is Preparing an Ordinance
Mayor Approves it.

An adjourned session of the city
council was held Tuesday afternoon
for the purpose of receiving the
report on the sewerage system.
R. E. Mcdonnell the engineer and
Mr.. Morehouse, his assistant made
a thorough inspection Of the system
during the day. Aldermen Burton
and O'Brien of the water and sewer
committee, accompanied them on
the inspection Every part Of the
system was carefully examined,
inclnding mains, laterals, flush
tanks, embankments, etc.
Mr.. Mcdonnell made his report
to the council and it was concurred
in by The water and sewer COM
mittee. In it he stated
that he found that the work
had been done according to the
plans and specifications and, con-
sidering the difficulties under
which Messrs Doyle and Swartz
had labored, it had been done ex-
ceptionally we'll. No flaw of any
character had been found i'll the
work. 1t was discovered, however,
that in one part Of the system con-
siderablesediment had accumulated
during tie process of construction.
Much of this had been removed by
flushing but some still remained.
Owing to this fact he recommended
that the system be accepted upon
Esle condition that if the obstruction
was not removed in 90 days, as he
thought it would, the contractor
be required to clean it out The
s per cent of the contract price,
held back, per contract amounting
to S72o would be ample to do this
work if it were necessary. Mr..
Mcdonnell said he was particularly
we'll pleased with the work of the
contractors. He had served as
engineer on about twenty contracts
and this was the hardest one he
had ever seen any contractor con-
tend with. Many contractors
would have thrown up the job but
Messrs Doyle & Swartz had carried
it out at a financial loss to them
selves. The city had received
more than the worth of its money.
| On motion the repors of the en-
| gineer and the committee was un-
animously adopted.
| Alderman o. Brien praised the
work of Messers Doyle & Swartz
and moved that a vote of thanks
be rendered them for the efficient
manner in which they had carried
out their contract in the midst OF
the greatest difficulties. Not a
single instance had been found ir
which they had attempted to slight
the smallest detail. The motor
was unanimously adopted. Alder
man Burton then moved a vote 0,
thanks to Ed Fitzpatrick the IRE
pressible son Of Erin who has beer
foreman on the job. ';Fitz' ha.
been in the business over 20 year
and he knows every point con
nected with it. The motion car
ried unanimously. Mr.. Dayle ant
! Mr.. Fitzpatric both responde,
