He eyed the paper money a moment

The teller assured him he could,

SEARCHING FOR
LOST TREASURE
Man Dying in the Penitentiary
Reveals Place Where Trunk
Of Gold Was Hidden.

During the closing years Of the civil
war, when the Indian Territory was
the habitation of scores of lawless
bands who lived by pillaging the
country, a cask Of gold was taken from
a party of soldiers on their way to
Fort Gibson, and buried somewhere
in the vicinity Of what is known as
Willow Springs.
Upon the arrival of the soldiers at
the fort without the golG, larger de-
tachment was sent out against the
band Of outlaws. A battle ensued in
which all the outlaws were killed ex-
cepU one. This one was sentenced to
a life term in the penitentiary at Fort
Leayenworth. Hope had never faded
from this man and Ire expected some
day to be pardoned and then to return
for the hidden treasure. AS the years
rolled by, however, the confinement
broke this man in health and few
weeks ago he passed away in his cell
in the government prison Before he
died, though this man told his at
tendants the story of the robbery and
as nearly as possible where the treas
ure was buried.
A party has been in the Willow
Springs country for several weeks
searching for the lost gold but no
trace has been found.
So much faith has been pinned to
the dying mans story, though that
another search is to be instigate l. The
previous hunters have been persons
entirely unfamiliar with the country,
but now one of Vinita's young men
who has lived near Willow Springs
since childhood will be em ployed and
a thorough search made.

STRUCK WITH A DEAD HEN
Passenger Thus Injured Gets Dam
ages from Trolley Company
of Boston, Mass.

Boston, Mass.-A motorman threw a
dead hen at fellow motorman who
was operating his car, but the bird
missing its mark, went crashing
against the front window, causing in
ury to passenger inside, and the se-
quel to the sport is that the street
railway company is held liable to com
pensate the passenger for the injuries
she sustained under decision handed
down by the full bench Of the supreme
court in the case Of Lila d. Haynes VS.
the Union Street Railway company.
Motorman John r. Stephenson threw
the lifeless hen at Motorman John r.
Bolster, who lodged it. AS it broke
the car window the pieces Of glass in
jured Miss Hayne in the face. The
car was bound from New Bedford to
Fairhaven, and Judge White at the
trial ruled the company could not be
held in damages for the injury done
through the sport of Motorman
Stephenson, who was not the motor
man on the car, and directed a verdict
for the company
But this IS nelu wrong, even lnuuEh
Stephenson was not at the time act
ing within the scope Of his employ
ment. The court decided that the COM
pany's liability was not limited to the
acts Of its servants who had charge OF
the particular car on which she was
riding. but that its duty as common
carrier to her ais a passenger was to
protect her also from injuries by its
other servants engaged in its general
transportation business. Stephenson
was at the time on another Of its cars,
and his wrongful act directed to a pas
senger on another car is held not to
make any difference in the company's
liability The plaintiffs exceptions
are sustained.

WHAT ARE
YOU DOING ?
Have You Done Anything to
Make vinita a City?---DO
Something Now !

You say you want a city. You want
to see Vinita grow and you think the
newspapers should do everything in
their power to advertise its natural
resources, its opportunities and ad-
vantag9s over other localities Now
before we make a contract to do this,
ask yourself few questions. What
have you done to make Vinita city,
Possibly you have done great deal.
If you have, you know too that The
newspapers have kept the public adj
vised of youl good work. If you have
done nothing, then you blame the
newspapers because they haven't done
more. That is natural. The man or
woman who kicks because they never
see their name in the paper, probably
never did anything worthy Of notice.
OF course there is many good deed
done which no one ever knows of, and
there is also many mean and dis
honorable deed that is never spoken
of, not that they are not known, but
because the newspapers desire to cheat
a certain class Of individuals out Of a
feast, that is injurious to the name Of
the town and the better elements
which compose it.
Now If you really want to see your
town grow, as you say you do, and you
wish to see it properly represented by
its papers, do something. Do some
thing every day that will be worth at
least two line notice, and then don't
be ashamed to tell the reporters what
you have done. Don't hand out a
bunch of scandal about your neighbor
but let your own light shine. You say
you want to help the town, then why
do you take foreign newspaper in
preference to the one published IN
your own town, especially when you
get the jist of the news twelve hours
earlier in your home paper? Very
few do this, but yet there are always
a few. They are generally the same
fellows who buy their goods away from
home.
The CHIEFTA1N is giving every per-
son in Vinita chance to help make
this city. 1t is now publishing the
associated press news. Hence we know
that the subscribers are getting the
worth Of their money. 1t has placed
the town in daily communication with
the outside world. 1t was great
and admitted by many to
be the most public spirited enterprise
in Vinita during the year
now closed. The CHIEFTAIN does not
desire to toot its own horn. 1t tries
to make speciality of keeping its own
name out of the paper, but it is now
in it's twenty-fourth year, and its own
boss, and during those years it has
learned a few facts, One of which is
that it takes more swallows than
eagles to make summer, and like
wise more every day, honest, hard
working men to make a town, than it
does of the digniied, retired sort, who
imagine they are too good for the
town.

SLOWER SHIP TURRETs.
Experts Think 1t Preferable to
Keep Guns Longer on
Targets.

Important changes have been made
in the gearing of the turrets Of the
United States battlcship Maine, and ex-
leriments in turret turning will be con-
lucted on that ship this winter in the
naneuvers in southern waters, There
was a time when the efficiency of turret
Gre was considered as at its best when
The turret could be turned in the short
st possible time
The developments of machinery for
this purpose resulted III revolutions of
ne minute an it came about that
ia the rapia.f q lusnl4a ne quAu-y
Il slowness in the operation Of the
lrret was ignored. It is notorious
aat the naval thcsry Of yesterday is
eieoted to-day, ana what was once
regarded as important may shortly
come to be looked upon as useless
and. even absurd. This has been dem
cnstrdted in the experiences Of the
naval experts with the torpedo tube
for ships of war.
1t now appears that there is a
change of opinion regarding the tur-
ret gearing. and it is considered inn
portant not to encourage rapidity in
turret revolution as much as to OBJ
tain slowness. In the new mechan-
ism installed in the Maine the turret
revolutions have been reduced to one
in two minutes. This change Is made
on the theory of the strategist that 1t
is desirable to keep the turret guns
Nnger time on the target, which
would not be possible with the turret
gear fixed at the present speed.

The greatest producer In the Lake SUI
perior region this year has been the

cargo of 4,245 tons, forwarded in 1892,
marked the beginning of the enormous
streams of ore which have since flowed
from the Mesaba rang almost 100, ,000,-

2,303,O47 tons, more than was ever for
