oKLAHoMA's ANTIQUITY.

Coronado and his Spanish cavaliers
crossed the Red River not far from
Frederick, Comanche County, having
also touched the southeastern corner
Of Pottawatomi County. 1t was during

this took place. Those eastern people

Permanent settlements would have
been made here had it not been that
the country was so far from the sea-

the settlements pushed inland.
ct was doubtless with many re-

seen and realized that it was the
finest country through which they
passed in all their wanderings. Cor

Astounding in flowing rivers and beau

the Spaniard stood for the first time

PIONEER A SUICIDE.
William Becker, Formerly Leading
Tanner, Ends Life in Mobile.

William Becker, Formerly Leading
Tanner, Ends Life in Mobile.
William Becker, one of the pioneer
tanners of Milwaukee, standing high so
cially and financially, committed suicide
at the home of his nephew in Mobile,
Ala. Mr.. Becker had not been in good
health, and six weeks ago, with his wife,
he started for the South in the hope that
the trip would have a beneficial effect.
He formerly was one of the owners of the
Becker tannery, which was absorbed by
the combine in 1899. Since that time he
was not actively engaged in business until
the formation of the Milwaukee Rubber
Works Company at Cudahy, of which he
was chosen president. Mr.. Becker was
81 years old. He came to Milwaukee
when only II years of age, but afterward
went to Dubuque. Returning to Milwau-
kee, he engaged in tanning, in which he
was joined by his brother, Gerhard Beck
er. They were successful from the first.
The deceased had no children.
