WOULD REMOVE
CITY ATTORNEY
Alfred UnderhiII Complains
That Atty. Gardner is Not
Doing His Duty.
ASKS COUNCIL TO ACT
TROUBLE COMES UP OVER
SOME BARB WIRE FENCE, UN.
DERHILL CLAIMING THAT LAW
is BEING VIOLATED.

A communication from Alfred G..
Underhill furnished the City Council
some amusement last night: in fact
about all the amusement that mani
tested itself during the session. Mr..
Underhill is still making an effort to
get the barb wire along North 18th
street removed. and ne complained
that City Attorney Gardner has not
done his duty in refusing to prose
cute violators of the ordinance in ref
erence to barb-wire and he wants in
vestigation of the neglect. Mr.. Un-
derhill also asks that the City Attor-
ney be relieved of the duties of that
Office until he proves himself clear
and that the city appoint another at
torney at once with instructions to
bring prosecutions against the alleg
ed violators.
No action was taken on the commu-
nication further than that City Attor-
ney Gardner explained that some ap-
parent inconsistencies in the ordi
nance in reference to barb wire make
its enforcement difficult and he then
presented a new ordinance to regu-
late this point, which will be passed.
1t prohibits barbwire along any i'm
proved street or plat of ground, un-
less placed at such an altitude that
neither beast nor man can come in
contact with it, 1t was also suggested
in this connection that hedge fences
sould be legislated against, but it
was announced that the city has a
hedge fence ordinance, although no
one seems to know what or where it
Is. An effort will be made to find 1t.

WALKED IN HIS SLEEP
AND FELL DOWN STAIRS
Samuel Wolf Does SomnambuIist
Stunt for First Time in His Life
and Suffers Severely for it-Uncon.
scious Half Hour,

Samuel Wolf aged 66 years, resid-
ing at 11S south 18th street. fell down
stairs yesterday morning about two
o'clock, while walking in his sleep.
His nose was broken. he received
several ugly cuts upon the face and
his body was severely bruised. Mr.
Wolf was unconscious for about half
an hour. This is the first time that he
has ever walked in his sleep, and it
is thought that the general warmness
of the weather made him restless and
that he unconsciously arose and wan
dered about the house. Last night he
was resting easily.

MAY SELL COAL PROPERTIES
Railroads Don't Want to Create any
Sentiment Against Themselves in
New State

South McAlester, /. T., July IS,
"A disatch from Oklahoma City
saying that the Rock Island had
decided TO sell its coal mines at
Anderson and Dow, to Col. William
Busby of this city and his associ-
ates cannot be confirmed.
The only basis of the rumor so
tar is the fact that the M. X. & 7.
recently made sale to the Busby
interests and that it is regarded by
the roads entering Indian Terri
tory as unwise to keep or to oper-
ate any coal properties. 1t is
thought that the constitutional
convention will take some action
on the matter and it is believed
that the roads are quietly unload
ing their holdings rather than to
create any sentiment against them
selves In the new state.
The conditions of the coal mines
are better than they were. The
output Is increasing each day and
the railroads are with difficulty
finding the cars with which to
handle the tonnage. If the output
continues to be as great when the
new force of men are put on as 1t
is today the pay roll of greater
McAlester and its allied towns will
reach $500, 900 per month.
In this city It is understood that
the question Of importation oflabor
will be a question between the
parties in the coming elections.
The democrats will make a stand
against the importation of any
more foreigners. AS it is the conn
try in the best is given over to the
Italians and other foreigners. The
methods taken to induce these
foreigners to come to the coal belt
may be investigated with a view
toward passing some anti immi-
grafton law by the coming state
legislature.

EVERY TOWN IN THE TERRITORY
WANTS TO BEITHE CENTER OF
DISTRICT IN NEW STATE
POPULATION OVER 100000
Delegations at Muskogee Pushing
Their Claim Before Com
mission

Muskogee, /. T. July 2S.-The
first formal public hearing by the
constitutional delega te districting
commission was held here yesterday
afternoon and there were towns on
the spot with delegations asking to
be heard.
Each one wanted a district that
would make that town as near the
center as possible. Politics seems to
have been entirely forgotten in this
scrumble for place.
Judge Clayton, when ask for the
reason Of this, said:
while the lines Of the districts
made by this commission will disap-
pear Immediately after the consti-
tutional delegates are elected, these
townsmen believe that If they can
get in the center Of a district they
can elect a delegate to the constitu-
tional convention and he will, in
making county lines, favor his
town as county seat. You will
6nd that Is the idea of every delega-
tion here.
1t is noticed too, that every dele
cation is composed Of democrats
and republicans.
The districting commission has
a map Of the territory with a ground
glass cover and on this cover the
delegations are allowed to trace the
districts they want.
When they got through this af-
ternoon the glass looked like a
Chinese puzzle. The districts over
lap and single town is found in
three or four districts as outlined.
II this keeps up week the district
ing commission is likely to wipe
the glass clean and go of at the
end of the week and draw ffty-fvc
districts to suit themselves. 1t is
apparent that the census that has
been taken in some of the districts
is above expectations. Tams Bixby
and Judge Clayton both intimated
this afternoon that the population
of Indian Territory is over 500, 900.
Their first estimate was $50, 600.
1t can also be stated now that when
the census now being taken Is com.
plete the districting commission
will not know how many people
there are in the Territory as II Is
impossible to make the census ac-
curate under the system used.

ever were. They do not wear wells over
their faces so long as they did. nor do they
hesitate TO take early in mourning to the
small French veil that is thrown back
from the face. All outward and visible
signs of grief are still adopted. Cards and
letter paper are heavily edged with black.
Even these Differences to the conven-
tionalities of mourning continue for a
much longer period than formerly. New
Workers go out to social affairs much
sooner than they did, Various explanations
have been put forward for this.
One of the reasons for making mourning
so much briefer, said an observer of social
habits here. lis the fear that one will be
lost sight of if one keeps away from all
the places at which people are to be seen.
1t is such a struggle and scurry with many
people in New York to get into the swim
and be in this place or that, that they do
not dare to withdraw voluntarily from
the society of their acquaintance and
friends.
Then there is one other reason that is
much more powerful here than anywhere
else. New Workers keep away from per-
sons in mourning unless they happen to
belong to their immediate families. To
be in deep mourning in New York is to be
left alone practically by everybody,
1T seems a harsh opinion, but there is
too much doing in New York for people
to go calling on those not likely to entertain
them. They have a hard enough time leav-
ing cards on the persons to whom they
are under social obligations. So those in
mourning must expect to be left out Of the
visiting
The original theory on which the with
travail from society Of persons in mourning
was based held that persons who had gone
into black were i'll a state Of feeling hat
made the ga yeties of the world distasteful
to them. Now it is argued that If they
do nave the inclination or desire to go out
and enjoy themselves after a certain period
it is much more reasonable for them to do
so than to remain in a seclusion for which
there exists no reason. The periods Of
mourning are shorter abroad than they
are here, and it is an imitation of this foreign
custom that New Workers are now at
tempting.
Nobody in Europe" was the opinion
Of a man familiar with society abroad as
well as here, would see any lack of pro-

Experiences OF a Couple Who Spent Their
Honeymoon In Guatemala.

The Sunday bull fight, held in a large
Place de Toro dull ring) outside the town,
was the principal amusement. Icannot say
much for this sort of entertainment. The
so-called bulls were worn out cows, who de.
served a better fate than to be goaded into
some sort of fury by the dashing picadors,
who stuck picadilloes into them. In most
cases they had dropped, refusing to move,
and the audience became furious.
At the end the toreador ESPECIALLY inn
ported for the day came forward to the
Presidential box, where we were sitting,
writes a woman correspondent Of the
Boudoir in describing d honeymoon in
Guatemala, and after a f1orid speech, Of
which ] understood little, he handed me-
with a profuse bow executed in true grand
fashion, hand on heart, the begored and
flower encircled picadilloes as a memento
of the august occasion. To refuse to accept
them would have been the greatest insult,
and nv husband was obliged to carry them
home for me, much to his disgust.
Some Spanish aides asked me- afterward
how l felt when the great matador singled
me out for this high honor. When l told
them that l was rather annoyed by his draw.
ing the attention of the crowd to me in this
the trical fashion they were furious at my
ungratefulness. and told me 1T would AVE
been the day Of their lives" and they would
have had proposals galore.
In the course of a scrambling expedition
into the country over rough mountain roads
we were obliged to camp out on hard boul-
ders, with only a macintosh to keep out the
col d.. During the night l was frightened
almost out of my wits-I felt a hand Juggling
m v hair. and calling out to my husband, we
saw a big monkey leaning down from the
branches of a tree above us, pulling away
at my hair, His horrible claws had gripped
su oh a lot that, when he finally let go, after
being %belabored with the stock of a re-
volver, he had nearly half Of it in his hand.
On arriving al a very rough and ready inn
the landladv set before us poached eggs,
swimming in water and nlentifully be-
sprinkled with small red ants! At first I
tried to pick out these additions, and seeing
the woman ewing me furiously | called her
and tried to tell her in my best Spanish that
| was not accustomed to eat ants-and that
them drop into the dish.
Her indignation was immense. With
flashing ewes and gesticulating wildly she
told me in excited language that it had
taken her a long time to catch those ants.

fingers into the bowl, she fished them out
and showed me how much she, at all events,
enjoyed eating them as a sort of savory to

her example.
