Band Joining Carnival Banda
Gay Time at Carnival.

The Fort Smith business men s an
nual trade excursion arrived in Tulsa
last evening shortly after six 'clock
and spent the night in the city. The

town visited on the trip. Most of
the crowd mingled in the gay carni-

tertaining the visitors.
The excursion arrived over the Fri :
co. The travellers, headed by their
uniformed band, paraded up Main
street, all carrying parasols bearing
the name of the firm represented,
and halted at the corner of Main and
Second streets, where several pieces
of fine music were played. The ex-
cursionists proceeded to the Midland
Valley depot, where they intended to
take the train to Pawhuska, but ow-
ing to delay in transferring the train
from the Frisco to the Midland Val
ley depot, the trip was potponed. The
crowd returned up town. Most Of
them attended the carnival shows.
Others were entertained by friends
in the city. Altogether the visit of
the Fort Smith people was made as
pleasant as possible.
The Fort Smithians left home a
week ago on a tour Of the territories.
"We have seen many fine cities, but
none which looked as good to us as
Tulsa. You certainly have magni-
ficent city," was the general com
ment of the visitors.
The Fort Smith people are repre-
sentatives of the largest ad most pro-
gressive of the retail and wholesale
houses of Fort Smith. They desire to
extend their trade territory andbecome
acquainted personally with their GUS
toners. hence the trade excursion.

LAD CLAIMED

HALBERT BROWN DROWNED IN
THE ARKANSAS.
IN VIEW OF PLAYMATES.
Treacherous Quicksand Dragged Un-
fortunate Boy to Death Without
Warning

Caught in a treacherous bed of
quicksand in the Arkansas river at
3 o clock yesterday afternoon Halbert
Brown, lad of ten years, was drag
ged down to death in full view of
a dozen of his playmates. The boy
sank with a despairing cry, ere any
of his companions were aware he was
in danger. The deplorable incident
is the sad sequel of picnic given by
the teachers of the Catholic school to
their pupils. In company with about
a dozen other boys, young Brown was
wading in the shallow waters Of the
river a quarter of mile southwest
of the pump station mile west Of
the city. The boys had received per-
mission from their instructors who
were plotting the picnic, to wade in
the river, but were cautioned not to
get into deep water. 1t appears that
the drowned boy had fulfilled the in
structions to the letter, as some OF
the other boys were even further out
in the stream than he was. The young
sters were splashing about merrily,
when all at once, one of them heard
someone cry out what he thought to
be the word "Hallo," and turned to
see young Brown sink out of sight,
never to come up again alive. When
their playmate did not come to the
surface In moment r two. the surf

daughter of the Post" was inimitable
in recitation and received an encore.

of remarkable histrionic ability, a
mistress Of the negro dialect, and has
wonderful control of her features. The

all night.

thought of.
Every train brought in its quota
of boys in blue, many of them accom-
panied by their wives and some by
their little ones. At the hour of
meeting, Department Commander
Smith, of Muskogee, estimated that
100 were present, and more kept com

shops, chatting with one another and
renewing old acquaintance.
The hour appointed for the first
business session was half past one

the Masonic hall. At II O'Clock the
local corps in fine new uniforms with

vigorously, "The Girl | Left Behind
