OHIO MEN BACK OF BRIDGE

CONCERNS YANkToN.GULF LINE

An Effort Is Being Made In Congress
to Extend the Franchise Granted
Some Time Ago for the Building Of
Bridge Across Missouri.
Norfolk and the rest of northern
Nebraska interested in the Yankton-
Gulf railway project, in the interest
of which Fremont Hill is now in Nor
folk preparing to ask for county bonds
to the extent of $4,000 as bonus for
the roads building, will be interested
in the following dispatch from Wash
ington:
at appears Ohio capital has become
interested in the construction of rail-
road and passenger bridge across the
Mi souri, river at Yankton, S. D., and
now Senator Foraker comes forward
with bill to extend the time given
under the original character for anoth-
err term of years. Congress in April,
1904, authorized the Winnipeg, Yank-
ton e Gulf railroad to construct COM
bined railroad, wagon and foot bridge
across the Missouri river at Yankton,
but the company gaining the charter
has not yet made move to carry out
the work. The concession is a valu-
able one and the company apparently
does not desire to abandon it. New
blood in the shape of capital has been
enlisted and the life of the concession
is sought to be extended by Senator
Foraker, who, it is said, represents
constituents who have invested in the
project"
A two-thirds vote of all votes cast
would be required to carry the county
bonds,

HOLE FOUND IN MEDICAL LAW.
Woman Who Administers Viavi Rene
dies Released by Court.

Ponca, Neb, Dec. S.-Judge Guy T.
Graves dealt the Nebraska medical
fraternity a severe blow when he di-
rected a verdict in favor of Mrs. Helen
Davis of Sioux City, who was being
tried at the instance of Drs. Graham
and Rubel of Allen for practicing with
out license. Mrs. Davis, as the agent
of the Viavi company, administered to
the needs of woman at Allen, for
which she was arrested under the
statute which says: ANY person
shall be regarded as practicing who
shall operate or profess to heal or
prescribe for, or otherwise treat any
physical ailment or ailment of mind
of another"
Though Mrs. Davis applied her rem
edy to her patient, Judge Graves held
that she was not a practitioner be-
cause she made no specific diagnosis
of the ailment.

HOTEL INDUSTRY.

The location of Norfolk should in a
general way assure the permanent pre-
eminence of the city and doubtless will
do so. Among the factors that con
tribute to that supremacy which are
doing much more to impress adjacent
communities with the advantages and
the growing Importance of the leading
city on the Elkhorn, are her fine ho-
tells. The first-class establishments,
the Oxnard and the Pacific, are con-
spicuous examples of uniform excel.
lence.
Like all other cities, Norfolk is con-
tinually striving to broaden her
sphere of influence" while here is an
avenue by which from $4,000 to $780,
600 Is added to the sum total of trade,
and not only Is the expenditure made
by commercial travellers, but the steady
growth in volume of that feature of
the years transactions Is almost Who'll
ly due to the good will of these true
hearted knights of the grip. While the
outsiders have done so much, the citi-
zens have hardly realized the magni-
tude of these enterprises. Travelling
men having homes of their own still
belong to the army of advance agents
of Norfolk's bright future.
Both hotels make all purchases of
supplies direct from the retail dealers
at home, though n short sighted policy
leads many hotel men to buy at whole
sale. Mr.. Foote has always patronized
home dealers and Mr.. Schiller, though
new man, expresses the same senti-
ments in regard to standing by his
neighbors, since home feeling and a
patriotic spirit are true essentials in
the structure of a harmonious and
thriving community.
The more modest establishments
provide for the travelling public with
similar results in impressing the tran
silent guest with what is best in the
fabric wrought out in years of toll on
the ancient prairie, now the site of
stirring railroad center.
Norfolk hotels, including the eating
house at the Northwestern station
give employment to perhaps 100 people
the year around The incomes of
these hunred persons are spent in Nor
folk.
A hotel can bring people to city
or drive them from it. Norfolks ho-
tells, maintaining high degree of ex-
cellence, have become homes for many
of the commercial travellers in this
territory and as a result they spend
their Sundays and holidays in Norfolk,
Among the hotels of the town are

ness channels of the town. The Zirfas
restaurant is the largest exclusive cafe
in the city, and does a large business
day and night. Among others are the
Freythaler restaurant, the Vail restau-
rant and the Union Pacific restaurant

the Junction.

Shooting ARRAY This Morning on Hin
OiS Avenue, In Which No One
Was Killed

There was some lively excitement
on Illinois avenue this morning when
three men we're observed racing west
from the Katy tracks towards Wilson
street. The man in front was making
decidedly the best time. His eyes
were sticking out of their sockets, and
his black face, for all three men were
negroes, was actually blanched with
fear.
And every time he looked back
over his shoulder and saw the second
man coming after him with big shot
gun he put on little more speed, un-
I'll he fairly burned the ground under
him, The man with the shot gun
was making tile best possible time,
but he couldn't keep the pace Of the
leader. The third man was a peace
maker; he was endeavoring to reach
the second man before he shot.
In front Of the Cobb hotel, however,
the man with the gun, seeing that 1t
was hopeless to expect a better shot,
cut loose with his gun, and there was

new REGULATIONS
For Sale OF inherited Indian
Lands Have Been PrOmuI
gated.

New regulations for the sale of in
herited Indian lands in the five civil
ized tribes have been received by In
spector J. George Wright and by him
made public. 1t is estimated that
these regulations will make lat least
one. fourth Of the allotted land in the
territory salable
The principal change in the regulat-
ions is that the application for sale Of
the lands must be made by the identi-
lied heirs Of the deceased allottee. 1t
further provides that the land for sale
must be advertised in newspaper
within the nation in which it lies.
The new regulation provides that
where it is proven that an allottee is
physically or otherwise unable to de-
yelop his land, he may lease the same
for three years for grazing purposes
and for five years for agricultural pur-
poses All leases, however, must have
the approval Of the secretary Of the
interior, after allottee has proved him
self unable to till his own lland.
The lease provisions, which have
been in effect in the Creek and Chero-
kee nations on mineral, gas and oil
lands, are extended by the new regula-
tions as to the other nations.

'ORGANIZEDN new STATE
Tulsa Republicans Form
Central Committee
For District

Grant Victor was in Tulsa yester-
day, and organized the first recording
district central committee in the In
dian Territory, 1t was the first OF
thirty such committees to be formed,
one in each recording district in the
territory. Heretofore the unit OF
organization has been the Republican
club Of the incorporated town; here
after, as fast as the party can be
organized, the plan adopted by the
Tulsa Republicans will be extended
over the territory, and the towns OF
each district will be brought into
harmonious cooperation.
The meeting yesterday was enthusi-
asUic and we'll attended. In calling it
to order Mr.. Victor called attention
to the need OF organization and hard
work by all Republicans, regardless Of
factions. "If we are to be successful, /"
he said, 1--WE must depend upon the
character of the candidates that we
place before the people. We must
look to all factions and we must see
that all are satisfied. We have here
in the Indian Territory many factions
with which to deal.
He then enumerated the various
factions, the new comers, the old
timers, the negroes, the Indians and
the young men. Each Of these, he
said, must be recongnized.
After Mr.. Victor had concluded his
remarks the meeting proceeded to
business. A central committee Of
fifteen was provided for, one member
from each ward in the city Of Tulsa,
and one from each town in the dis
trict. The following resolutions were
adopted unanimously:
1--WE, the Republicans Of the 2Sth
recording district, in committee as
sembled, do declare and reafiirm our
allegiance to the time-honored and
tried principles Of the Republican
party, which have brought unbounded
prosperity to every section Of this
country
I'VE congratulate the people of Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory upon
the opportunity given them by Re-
publican congress and president to-
organize a new state, elect its own of

uate the institutions handed down to

TOOK Girl AWAY
Mrs. Manly Is Worried Over
Whereabouts Of Daughter.

Eta Manley, aged about 20 years
daughter OF Mrs. Maude Manley of

mother is in an uneasy frame Of mind.
She left Vinita yesterday afternoon
in a buggy in company with Ed. Blue
jacket married man. They we're
met west Of town by Capt. White and
later they passed through White Oak,
going west.
Bluejacket was in town today and

keeping close tab on the actions Of
Mrs. Manley and her going before
Commissioner Farrar with her trou-
bles, and fearing that he had fractur-
ed the law, he also went before the

tion satisfied Mrs. Manley and they

from the street. Those who we're i'm
position to see, however, declared that
at the shot the man In front fairly
jumped away from himself. He was
unframed, for the simple reason that
he was travelling SO fast that the shot
couldn't poss bly, reach him.
The man With the gun was Wick
Little, who was formerly employed in
Gus cafe. The man who ran was Jim
Vann. Little and Vann have had
bad blood for some time, and it is said
that an infusion Of whiskey yesterday
and today brought on the catas-
tr0phe.
The shooting, though il occurred
on the principal street Of the city, was
not heard at the marshal's Office, and
the officers there were not notified

to get away. The officers are now
hunting for him, but SO fax without
success. He will be jailed on the
