Two Italians are living in a serious condition
at the Maryland University Hospital as a
result of the premature explosion of quantity
of dynamite while at work at the Rinehart
Construction Camps, on Dorseys Run, near
Ellicott City. The scene where the accident
occurred is where AL Carter shot and killed
one of the Rineharts. The injured Italians
were sent to Baltimore late Thursday after
noon on Baltimore and Ohio train and taken
to the hospital in the hospital ambulance.
The names of the victims and the manner in
which they received their injuries are unknown
to the hospital authorities, as both men are
unconscious. The features of both of the
Italians are badly lscerated, and it is said are
scarcely recognizable. While the physicians
say the condition of the men is serious. they
have slight hopes of their recovery.

OkIahoma'S
Wheat Export

Oklahoma City, Okla April-6
Fully 100000 bushels of wheat
from Oklahoma were exported
during the last year, under an
estimate made by G. V. ToppiL &,
secretary OF the Oklahoma Ex.
port company.
The crop of last season was
one of the largest in the history
of the territory and the exporta-
ton was correspondingly in
creased.
This is far in excess OF the ex-
ports for the preceding season,
practically no wheat being ship.
ped out of the territory in the
season 1905-96. The crop that
year was light and tho acreage
not nearly 30 great as the season
following.
Mr.. Topping estim ates that
years growing crop has been
damaged fully 20 per cent by the
ravages of the green bug. The
damage has been much greater
than that in many localities,
amounting in some places to the
practical destruction of the crop,
but toe bugs seem to WORK more
in the southern portions of the
territory and have as yet appear
ed in the northern counties in
only small numbers. The north
ern and northeastern portion of
Oklahoma comprises the "wheat
belt" and if the green bug does
not emigrate to this section be-
fore being destroyed the wheat
crop of the territory may not be
gre atty lessened.
The lady bug and the parasite,
both of which prey on the green
bug and destroy it rapidly, are
becoming more numerous and
active every day, according to
Mr.. Topping, and he is hopeful
that the destructive pests will
soon be so decreased in numbers
as to be harmless to crops.

when asked if the ordinance

replied, "It looks like it,"
Mr.. Stelzner will not close out

This gentleman has announce
ed his candidacy for the United
States senate. Robert l.. Owen
has long been a resident of the
Indian Territory, moving here in
1882 from Virginia, his birthplace.
Through his.veins runs a decided
strain of Cherokee blood.
Col. Owen is recognized qs one
of the leading attorneys of the
southwest and to. him was accord.
ed the unusual compliment by a
member of the supreme court of
the United States, who after
hearing his argument before the
supreme court in the eastern
Cherokee case VS. the United
states, said it was one of the best
presentations of a case he had
the pleasure of listening to.
An Indian himself, Col. Owen
favors the removal of restrictions
the diminishing of interior de-
partment long range government
and carpetbag rule. His views
on other questions will be SUBJ
mitted later to the people. A
close observer, a thinker, a man
of action, of sterling integrity of
blameless private life, Col. Owen
commands the respect of all who
know him.
The needs of a new state must
be forcibly and clearly presented
to the senate. Col. OWENS long
experience and familiarity with
public questions and his extend.
ed acquaintance at Washington,
where he is recognized as a man

A Service at the Jail

Ye editor, having been
notified of moves in the case
OF young Ford, at present in
Jail awaiting the action OF
the grand jury as to his kill
ing Brazel at Apache, that
seemed to warrant n sus-
picion that Ford would be
railroaded to the peniten-
tiary on account of sinister
designs ON the person OF his
wife by some FOUNDERS at
Apache, went yesterday to
the Jail to see Ford, and in
quire as to the status of his
affairs. His case has been
pat into the hands OF Wood
4 Bwstow and Mrs. Ford is
said to be cared for by GER
tain worthy people of Apache
among whom is Brazel, the
dead mans father. Ford's
brother came to Anadarko
from his home near Hennessy
to do what can be done to
help, and the prisoner also
has n father and mother liv-
ing on a farm south of
Apache. So it appears that
no sufficient cause for un-
easiness exists for either Mr..
Ford, whose interests will
be cared for by his attorneys,
or Mrs. Ford, who may take
her two children and stay
with hisIather and mother
until he is released.
The above is n somewhat
lengthy introduction to the
service at. the Jail that we
were present at. While we
talking to the warden in the
front Office, Rev. l.. b. Teis
and Capt. j. b. Lister came
in with song books. They
requested permission of Mr.,
Cooper who took them into
the cage, ye editor accom-
panying. the three hymn
books were placed in the
hands of the prisoners and
all sang "Nearer My God to
Thee" Then Capt. Lister
prayed and gave them a
plain warm hearted talk out
of his own experience both
living and religion, and left
his testament with them.

been left also. but We're
