INTENSE EXCITEMENT LOCALLY

INTENSE EXCITEMENT LOCALLY.
Great excitement has prevailed here
during the past week on account of an
attempt on the part of some malicious
person to burn the buildings of the
Kent Furnace property. Last Friday
afternoon smoke was discovered COM
ing from the furnace top house and an
alarm was sent out and the prompt
and efficient work of nearby neighbors
extinguished the fire before any ma
terial damage was done. Upon inves-
tigatton it was found that quaint ty
OF old clothing and other rubbish Satu-
ated with oil had been placed under
meath the timbers of the building.
This attempt following so closely the
burning of Mr. Platt's barn leads peO-
pie to think that that might have
been Of incendiary origin also. Grand
Juror l.. H. Ives, with Justices of
the Peace Smith, SpoOner and Boards
ley, assisted by Hon Donald T. Warner
of Salisbury, examined witnesses at
the Town hail, Monday, hoping to find
out who had been the cause of the
fires, but no definite grounds were
found for making a complaint.
Notices have been posted signed by
a majority of the Justices of the Peace,
warning all owners of dogs to either
muZzle or keep them confined from
January 10 to March l.
Arthur H. Bolles was in the village,
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Charles Darling has his household
goods nearly ready to ship and expects
to leave town about the Goth of Janu.

chased an established meat business.

CAPT. MACKLIN'S ASSAILANT.
Marshal Alternately Instructed to Aid
in the Pursuit.

The Department of Justice has instructed
United States Marshal Alternately of Okla
homa to give all the aid possible to run
ming down the man who shot Capt. Mack
lin Of the 25th Infantry at Fort Reno Okla.
Alternately is a personal appontee of the
President. having won the Presidents adj
miration by the manner in which he ran
down and captured wolves alive. With
the state and local authorities. aided by
the federal government, Capt. Macklns
assailant ought to be discovered.
At the request of the Secretary of War
the United States district attorney for
Oklahoma has been instructed to cooperate
with the military authorities and secret
service officers in apprehendng the assail-
ant of Capt. Macklin. 1t is admitted that
no information has yet been received re-
garding the Identity or wherea bouts of the
guilty party. The theory that he was a
discharged member of the 25th Infantry
has been practically disproved by the fact
that all the discharged men were sent
away from Fort Reno when discharged
and none had been seen in that vicinity
since then. 1t is now accepted by the
authorities that robbery and not revenge
was the purpose of the assailant of the
officer.
