A MONDAY RUNAWAY.

Just at noon today an exciting run
away occurred on Chiekasha avenue
that looked for a memoment as though
it would result in the loss of human
life. A team Of John Thomas of the
Eagle Transfer Co. broke loose and
in their mad race west one Of the
horses collided with the spring wagon
of J. c. Smith, who in company with
another gentleman was driving down
town. Mr.. Smith enieavored to get
in the clear, but the horse reached the
wagon too quickly and with a final
bound jumped upon it, smashing tde
vehicle badly and catching one leg
between the spring and side Of the
bed The gentlemen escaped injury
but the runaway horse was badly
hurt

The Grandson Of the Chickasaw's Friend Is
Helping Make Oklahoma Laws

A recent number Of the St. Louis
Republic contained the following arr
ticle concerning Hon. X. N. johnson,
Of Minco, which it gives the Express
much pleasure to reproduce:
When the Chickasaw tribe Of In

original reservation in Southern Mis-
sissippi to a new reservation in the
territory out west that was afterward
to be known as Indian Territory, Col.
Boggy Johnson, a prominent citizen
of Mississippi, was selected by the
government to effect this transfer
So well was the Job completed that
Col. johnson was for several years re-
tanned by the government to assist
the Indians in managing their affairs
of government and acting as agent
for them in matters pertaining to fed
eral relations. COL johnson in his de-
clining years, moved to New York and
died there in 1886. He was one Of the
most important characters of the ear
" days Of Indian Territory, and was
the husband Of as pretty a Chickasaw
maiden as could be found in Mississip-
pi in the early days Of the 18th cen.

INDORSE AUTO RACE
LOCAL CLUB FAVORS THE
VANDERBILT CONTEST.
Resolution Adopted at Meeting Last
Night-Special Bill Prepared-Race
Now Practically Assured.

The holding of the Vanderbilt cup
automobile race in New Jersey next
October received the Endorsement of
the New Jersey Automobile and Motor
Club at a meeting held at its clubhouse
in South Broad street last night, and
a resolution indorsing the movement
was passed. President Angus S. Sin
was in the chair, and the other
members present were H. A. Bonnell,
Joseph H. Wood, William C. Crosby,
William F. Kimber and Louis T.. Wiss.
Though the sentiment of the local
club would naturally be in favor of
having the race decided in Essex or in
Essex and Union counties. the organi-
cation will not officially express itself
on this point, it being the opinion last
night that William K. Vanderbilt, the
donor of the trophy, should be the one
to select a course.
The text of the resolution which the
board of directors of the New Jersey
Automobile and Motor Club adopted
last night follows:
Whereas. we learn through the pub
lie press that efforts are. being made
by the American Automobile Assocfa-
ton to secure the passage of an act to
amend the automobile laws of the State
of New Jersey so that the International
contest of automobiles for the Van
derbilt Cup may be held on the roads
of this State in the fall of the year and
q similar contest be held annually
thereafter: and.
Whereas. the New Jersey Automobile
Motor Club strongly favors any
movement for a contest intended to adj
vance the interests OF automobillng and
materialize the Improvement of the
roads of the State. provided said con-
test can be conducted in an orderly and
sportsmanlike manner and has the sup
port of the public sentiment: and,
Whereas. the holding of such a on
test would undoubtedly result not only
in stimulating and advancing the in
terests of automobiling and improve
ment of the roads where the contest
may be held. but would also result in
benehting all owners of property along
the roads where such a contest be held;
therefore. be It
Resolved. that the board Of trustees
of the New Jersey Automobile and
Motor Club indorse the efforts now
being made to secure such a contest,
end that the legislative committee be
IL structed to cooperate in its efforts
should 1t find IT is the sentiment Of the
public that such a contest be held In
this State.

LEANDER CREW WINS
IN HENLEY REGATTA.

HENLEY, Eng. July 3-The Leander
crew, as anticipated. won an easy vic
tory over the London Rowing Club to-
day in the first heat for the grand

the Leanders to win back the grand
challenge cup, which was captured by
the Belgians last year. Tit crew con
tatns seven old Cambridge oarsmen.

feat of Blackstaffe, holder of the dia-
mono, SOULS trophy, by Captain Darrell,
splendid race Darell won by half n
length. Time, S:57.
The weather was dismal, wet and
cold, preoluding the bright costumes

JEFF SEES SQUIRES
jim TELLS BILL ABOUT
AMERICAN RULES.
Cautions Australian to Be Careful in
Fight with Burns at Colma
Tomorrow Afternoon.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 3-James ].
Jeffries yesterday paid his first visit to
Squires's camp and passed an hour with
the Australian, discussing with him
straight Marquis of oueensberry rules,
under which the match with Burns Is to
take place tomorrow.
Jeffries was particularly careful In ex-
planning the custom in America by which
each fighter looks out for himself In a
breakaway and In the clinches. In Aus
tralia men break clean at the order of the
referee. Jeffries further cautioned Squires
against any infringement of the rules and
told him that the referee would treat both
men fairly during the fight.
Squires wanted to know if Burns would
be permitted to wear any article foreign
to the ordinary ring costume. and Jeffries
reminded him that under the special arti-
Giles this matter was left entirely to the
judgment of the referee. He said he would
see Burns. and that If there was any OBJ
jectionable costume he would order it re-
moved
At the Los Angeles fiasco Burns wore a
pneumatic belt under his trunks and below
the foul line. Squires said he would object
to this belt.
Standing alongside Jeffries Squlres looked
decidedly small. and tongues wagged furi-
ously when the possibility of a fight be-
tween the two, in case the Australian wins
a couple of matches, was mentioned.
Squires did some road work yesterday
and skipped the rope for a time in the
afternoon. He will duplicate this program
today and may go into the gymnasium for
a short time this afternoon.
At the end of his work Monday afternoon
Burns weighed just 40 pounds when he
stepped on the scales in the presence Of
several newspaper men. The betting is still
light, with squlres a 10 to s favorite.
