years, But Chief Blackbird's anger
became 40 ungoveinsble that he
grasped his mother-in.law by the
shoulder and demanded OF her to tell
him OF his iavorite. She gasped out
the news and the women bent lower,
shuddering at the awful tempest that
followed. Well rs they knew him,
they had never seen she dreaded chief
10 such rage.
"When he had become calm, he
sent TOR his best hunters and dis.
patched them In search Of the guilty
pair. Then he repaired TO his tepee,
where he sat for hours awaiting their
return, No one dared speak so him
His women brought him food and
set 1t before him, fearing lest he note
their presence and beat them. Two
days passed and food had not pass
ed his lips, nor had he slept.
"On the third day the runners
brought back the clipping couple.
SILENTLY they came through the
camp, even the children realizing the
nomensous Significance OF the oc,
casion The girl stepped straight
beside her lover. Both knew that
death awaited them. The old chief
was so inventive in his modes o,
torture that neither could conjecture
what manner OF death it was to be-.
Both were led into the tepee and
stood before the old chief stoicaIly.
ACRUEL FATE
"He gazad eagerly into the face OF
his iavorite. He noted the loss Of
the earring, and his features became
convulsed with wounded pride, with
rage and jealous fury. The lover
stepped between them In an effort TO
shield the girl from she blow that
would have fallen upon her. In his
hands he held his hunting knife, OF
which he was very proud. 1t was
long and sharp and the bone handle
was beautifully carved.
"The chief took it with fiendish
grin and turning, buried 1t to the
hilt in the girls breast. Straight
into her heart, the knife lesped, and
az she fell she looked into the eyes OF
her lover and laughed as she died.
The young brave, with q dramatic
gesture, tore away the shirt from bis
breast and stood waiting for the,
same blow.
Leaving the knife still buried in
the breast OF the dead girl, the chief
up his gun and aimed 1t at
the breast OF the lover. With his
finger on the trigger, he hesitated.
He noted the look In the eyes OF the
young Indian and detected the shank

GILSTRAP KILLED
IN ADAIR COUNTY
State Caused Survey to be Made to
Determine Location of Tragic
Spot Where Fight Occurred

To determine the exact spot where dep
uty United States Marshal Ike GiIstrap
was killed while in fight with the Wy
cliffs in the Cherokee nation several years
ago, the state authorities sent a crew Of
surveyors to the field to locate the battle
field and run line to determine what
county Gilstrap was killed in At the time
of the tragedy there were no counties,
That part Of the Cherokee nation was
known as Saline district
Less than year ago when John and
Tom Wycliff surrendered to the state au-
thorities, one Of them gave up to the
authorities in Delaware county and the
other to the county officials Of Cherokee
county. A controversy then arose as to
which county the crime was committed in
and (which county should stand the ex-
pense Of trying the cases. The lines run
by the state Indicate that Gistrap was
killed in Adair county, just across the line
of Delaware and Cherokee counties.
The surveyors also observed that the
cornerstones in various sections had been
dug up and removed. II is presumed that
this was done by members Of the Might
Hawk society, who are anxious to keep
the surveyors out of that part Of the
country.

v|NITA |NSCENSED
OVER STATEMENT
Local High School May Seek to Dis
bar Muskogee High School From
State Records

The none-to-good feeling toward Musko-
gee, in things athletic took a decisive
turn for the worse yesterday on account
Of an article appearing in the Muskogee
Phoenix relative to the recent football
game between the Muskogee and Vinita
high schools In this article the Phoenix
calmly asserts that Vinita high school
played three married men in the game
against Muskoeee. This statement is an
unqualified falsehood, and the writer
challenges the author of that statement to
prove it.
To those who Witnessed the game here
this statement can cause only disgust, for
the Muskogee team was not only so much
larger than the local team, that they
looked like giants compared to the Vinita
team but were so aged looking as to cause
the spectators to laughingly ask them if
they did not require a ground rule pro-
hibiting grabbing by the whiskers. Before
the game here each team was weighed on
the scales of the Robinson Lumber yard,
and thirteen of the Muskogee team weigh
ed 2050 pounds while fourteen of the
Vinita team weighed 1880 pounds,
difference of 270 pounds in weight, with
one extra man on the Vinita team, which
would make the actual difference in the
two teams about 400 pounds.
1t is freely admitted that Vinita did
play one married man, Campbell, who is
but nineteen years old, and has been
attending school here for the past few
years. Campbell weighs 1870 pounds. The
statement as to the rest of the team can
only cause derision for Muskogee in the
minds of the Tulsa players, and other
teams, who have been against the little
giants of the Vinita high school.
AS to the Muskogee team it is not
believed here that more than three of the
team were bonafde high school students.
and Prof. Masterson of the Vinita high
school authorized the Chieftain to chal-
lenge the instructors Of the Muskogee hight
school to make a sworn affidavit as to the
age and time of attendance in the high
school Of Muskogee. of each of the players
who participated in the game here, and
said that he would make similar affida-
Wit as to the members Of the Vinita team.
Vinita got away bad at the beginning
Of each half of that game and was beaten
by score of II to 6. and would have
said nothing more about the game, had
not the false statement appeared in the
Phoenix and now the local high school
proposes to see that an investigation of |
the MuskoGee team is made, and if the i'm
preston gained of the team here. is borne
out. viii seek to have all of their games
thrown out of the high school record in
the state.

TIME YET TO PLANT.
Press Bulletin of the State Board of
Agriculture.

1t is somewhat discouraging to far
mers, after they have been diligent and
done all they could do to produce
crop, to find that through no fault OF
their own their crops have been de-
stroyed at this late season of tho year.
In many parts of the state, great deal
Of corn on fiat up lands and thousands
OF acres on bottom lands have been des-
troyed by excessive rains and floods.
II the RAIN should cease now, however,
there is time for maturing crops and
farmers should avail themselves of the
opportunity Of planting all the area pos
sible where the corn has been DIES.
troyed.
In the year 1901 many farmers pro-
duced on bottom lands from so to Is
bushels of corn planted after June goth.
With normal season, corn will have
time to mature planted any time up to
the first OF July and will make good
forage planted even as late as the mid
die Of July. Sorghum and kaffir corn
|, will make good crops Of seed planted as
late as the 10th of July and will make
forage planted somewhat later. Cow
peas and millet may be planted almost
any time 10 July and make crop. Rape
may be sown in August and produce
an abundance of fall pasturage. Rye
and wheat sown in August and Septem-
Der will make fall and winter pasturage
and will take the place Of much grain
that Is ordinarily fed during the early
part of the winter.
Information concerning any of these
crops that may not be generally grown
in the neighborhood, will be furnished
on application to this Office.
