FOR UNIFORM LAW
PrOhibitiOnists Want TO Make
Western Oklahoma Dry
Like This Section.

Yesterdays Muskogee Times-Demo-
.crat says:
Rev. A. Grant Evans, who went to
Oklahoma City in company with
Messrs. Dinwiddie and Sweet, to at
tend the conference between Indian
Territory and Oklahoma Prohibitions
lists, has returned home.
Mr.. Evans says that the Prohibi-
tionists Of oklahoma are agreed with
those of Indian Territory as to the
plan Of campaign, which has been
previously outlined in the Times
Democrat. The Prohibitionists will
request of each nominee for constitu-
tional delegate, what is his position
on having a clause in the constitution
for prohibition in the whole state. If
he is favorable to this, the Frohibi-
tionists will support him, regardless
of which party he is the nominee.
Should both Of the candidates favor
such a clause, the Prohlbitionists will
vote according to party afiliation. In
case neither will agree to vote for to-
tai prohibition, an independent cam
didate will be ruL by the Prohibitions
lists.
Mr.. Evans says that the sentiment
in Oklahoma is very strongly in favor
of prohibition and is growing in
strength to gratifying degree. He
believes that a majority can be polled
in Oklahoma for prohibition, as out
side of few cities, there isaot very
strong license vote. Mr.. Evans is
also Of the opinion that Indian Ter
ritory ought to be almost solidly in
favor of the clause for complete state
so as to hive it uniform
and for the best Interests Of the whole
people.

New Forwarded 70 Japan.

Washington, Aug. s--Acting Secre.
tary of State Bacon sent Ambassador
Wright at Toxic the substance Of
dispatchs received regarding the kill
ing Of five Japanese fishermen of
Alaska Sunday. In his dispatch Sec.
retary Bacon says it is sent for the
purpose of giving such information as
this government possesses of the re-
grettable affair, the news of which
may reach Japan in a distorted form.
iThere is is no intention of Offering
an apology, or any further regret
than is contained in this dispatch, as
the state department regards the Jap
anese fishermen as to blame if
they we're within the three mile limit,
and the dispatch from Alaska espe.
cially emphasizes this fact.

RAILROADS
DAMAGED

The continued rains are giving the
southwestern railroads considerable
trouble. This is especially true south
Of here, where. in Texas especially,
there have been numerous washouts.
The South Canadian river through
Indian Territory and Oklahoma, is as
usual on the rampage, and most Of
the railroad bridges across it have
gone out. Washouts are numerous
in the new state. North and east Of
here, too, there are many delays to
trains. Service into Vinita has not
rs been interrupted, though many
Of the trains are late.
A bad washout on the Frisco last
night at Francis oothe RED river di-
vision south Of SapuAc necessitated
the detour Of the Texas trains over
the Katy. The road to Oklahoma
City is open, but southwest Of there
there are several breaks in the road.
Today's trains from the east we're late
also, though this was due largely to
the homeseekers' excursions. The
fast mail was buthalf an hour late.
The Katy has been running more
nearly on time than the Frisco,
though the flyer was late this morn
inc.

GOOD FOR VINITA
NeighbOrIng Newspaper Men
Praise This Progressive
City.

Time was, not 50 very long ago,
either, when Vinita was the standing
joke Of this part OF the territory for
enterprise. But d change has come
over the face Of things, and In view Of
the great development Of the past
year or two, and Of the vigorous work
OF the Commercial club, Vinita is now
regarded as one Of the pushing cities
Of the new state. Witness these two
editorial opinions from neighboring
towns:
"The editor visited our enterpris-
ing sister city, Vinita, SAT-
urday and Sunday. we found Vini.
ta an enterprising, wide-awake town
and her people are always working for
greater Vinita. They have paved
streets, good schools, cement side
walks, handsome business blocks, ar
tistic lawns and residences and they
have Commercial club headquarters
equal to much larger towns. Strang-
ers coming to Yinita will at once form
an opinion that the city is full OF
progressive people. We admire the
progress made in our sister city. Amy

-dwells among its people is bound to
grow and remain good town Al

AN APACHE MAIDEN
 SPEAKSPROPHtTICALLY
The Lightning Bolt FulRlls Her
 Bidding.

Much has been said and written about the Indian medicine man. but 1t has remained for the famous Apache tribes to break all precedents and pro duce a medicine girl that were it not for one of the principal papers of Gra- ham county, would have been born to blush unseen" Some time ago there was printed in the Graham County Guardian the story of how three Indians were Killed by lightning on the San Carlos reservation. Aug ust '. The manner of their death was somewhat out of the ordinary taking off for the red man. The Indian po- iceman had been sent up to Indian Springs, fifteen miles on the road from San Carlos to old Apache camp. where the two divisions of this once famous tribe were holding. or had planned to hold, a regular old fash toned camp meeting dance They had gone th.ther to preserve order at this particular frolic and, if necessary. by armed means, see that these obstrep- erous wards of Uncle sam behaved nicely and danced as ordinary white folks. The news of their coming had reached the camp of joy and happiness in advance of their personal appear ance.
 Now, these particular emissaries of the government were not wanted at this particular time and place. and the news of their coming so incensed the braves assembled that a hurried coun- ciI was held and chief among the lead CTS appeared a medicine girl belonging to the Apache camp. who by authority appointed a delegation to meet the po- lieemen and caution them not to ap- pear and interrupt their joy uncon- fined and further sent them warning that if they did come on something awful would happen to them" Cwhat- ever that might mean).
 No heed was paid to the warning and the armed represen tatives of this great government proceeded on their way till near the springs a heavy storm overlook them when they dis mounted and started to seek shelter under a large tree, walking single file as their tribe has been wont to do from time immemorable Suddenly a vivid bolt of electricity came from the overhanging cloud, hitting the first and second Indians, jumping over the third and taking deadly effect on the fourth In a jiffy three Indians lay dead. The third Indian in line was left unharmed.
