CIVIL WAR FIGURES.
Statistics of the Army That Put Down
the Rebellion.

The enlistments in the union
army during the civil war reached
the enormous total OF 2,898, 304.
1t is not possible to know exactly
how many enlistments there were
in the confederate army, because
the confederate states failed to keep
a reliable record of the number of
men furnished to the service, and
such statistics as are to be had are
incomplete. It is estimated, how
ever, that there were between 900,
900 aud 7OO,0 900 men in the con-
federate armies, and that fully
100000 of this number died in bat
tie or from wounds and disease.

MAJOR GRANTEES ESCAPE
Was Narrow one Padded his Own
Canoe

Grand Valley CColo.) News: Mr..
and Mrs. w. H. Granlee are visiting
Mr. Grantees brother NJ. E. Granlee
for few days. Mr.. Granlee was
formerly a newspaper man at Chick
asha, Ind. Ter, but is on his way to
Californi, where they expect to make
their future home.
Monday morning ". F. and N. E.
Granlee started for load Of wood
and attempted to cross the creek by
way Of an old ford, which proved to
be washed out to dangerous depth.
After hard struggle, the horses
reached the shore, but the bank was
SO steep that the single trees broke
letting the wagon float down the
stream. N. E. jumped near enough
to reach the edge in safety. W. F.
was left in the wagon TO paddle his
own canoe. He managed to keep the
wagon right side up until it drifted
within two jumps Of the opposite bank
enabling him to wnde to the shore.
Both men escaped what might have
been fatal as the creek was very swift
and deep.

care for fifteen or twenty. At the
Savoy Mr.. Johnson says that he has
had no reservations made yet, but
that his rooms are full Ill the time

Jury

The negro, Clyde Perkins, who is
charged with criminal assault upon
little Faustina Austin. colored, on
the night Of May 6, was arraigned for
trial befocs Judge Dickerson this
morning. A conspicuous feature Of
the trial is the jury which is composed
entirely Of blacks who were summoned
from Pauls Valley and Wynnewood.
The case was called about 3 o'clock
and it was II o'clock before the jury
box was full. District Attorney Ham
ilton is representing the government
and e. 7. Barber, negro attorney
from Ell Reno appeared for the de-
fense. In the selection Of the jury
number Of interesting incidents
were noted. Only one Of those ex-
amined had ever sat on a jury before;
one was excused because of conscienti-
Gus seriuples against capital punish
ment. Nearly al the negroes gave
Texas as their native state.
After the selection ci the jury was
completed, Mr. Hamilton made a gem
eral statement Of the case and the first
witness was called. Two witnesses
were examined after which the court
took a recess till 2 O'Clock, Rev. Haw-
kins, a negro taking charge Of the
jusy as baiIiff.
