INDIANS KILL CAMS WARDEN.
Boy and Squaws Shoot State Officer
While He Fights Braves.

Game Warden W. +. Scott and Dep
uty Warden Henry A. Wass have arrived
At Missoula, Mont, with the body of
Deputy Game Warden Charles s. Peyton,
who was killed in a fight with Indians
Sunday in the Swan river country while
attempting TO arrest them for breaking
the State game laws. Herman Rudolph,
ranch hand, who accompanied Peyton to
spot within forty feet of the Indian
camp, says the deputy warden was shot
by 13-year-old Indian lad who was be-
hind the horses of the redskins and was
not noticed by Peyton. and by squaws.
When Peyton told the Indians they were
under arrest, one of them grasped him
by the neck. Peyton shook him off and
advised all to be peaceful. Another In
dian then uttered war whoop. aimed
his rife and was about to shoot, when
Peyton shot him down. Two other In
dams attempted to get their guns I'M
sheathed, but Peyton killed them. Ru-
dolph then saw the little Indian boy
kneeling between the horses and aiming
at Peyton. who fired at the redskin at
the same moment that the latter fired
a. the officer. Peyton was MORALLY
wounded and the Indian boy toppled over
dead. Squaws later ended Peyton's suf-
fering with half dozen shots from
small-caliber guns. All the mountain
passes are being watched for the fleeing
squaws. who have with them the bodies
of their braves.

LITTLE FREE LAND Is LEFT.
Report Shows Only $3.50 Acres in
Oklahoma Unappropriated.

The report of the commissioner of the
general land office shows that al the close
of the fiscal year there were but S6,333J
acres of unappropriated public domain in
the State. only this small area remaining
to be hOmesteaded, out of the total area
of 4J,l1J.200 acres. and as mountains
streams. and sandhills are included it can
readily be seen that the opportunity for
securing government land in Oklahoma is
very small. SO great has been the de-
mand for homes in the State that out of
the twenty-six public land States of the
nation twenty-five have unapprOpriated
land greater in area than Oklahoma.
Kansas, Alabama. Florida, Michigan and
Louisiana each have over twise much
vacant land as Oklahoma Arkansas has
over 100000 acres untaken. and Ne
braska, North Dakota. Minnesota and
Washington have over 100000 each,
while South Dakota has 100000, Ore

NEW YoFK.

Retail trade still reflects the influence
of warm weather and the approach of
election breeds conservatism as regards
heavy buying and the projection of new
enterprises. However. there is more do
ing and more confident buying of raw
material by manufacturers, who apparent
ly forecast a change for the better in the
latter part of this year or the early part
of next.
The large movement of wheat TO mar
ket is responsible for the optimistic
tenor of reports from distributive cen
tiers in the Northwest. Effects of the
drought are shown in almost total suspen-
sion of steamboat traffic on the Ohio
river and its tributaries, the holding up
of large quantities of coal along that
stream, the prevalence of destructive for
est fires and the low stage of water sup
plies. Reports as 10 collections vary, be
ing best in the Northwes. and poorest in
the South.
The situation in textile lines is inter
esting and not without encouragement.
While jobbing trade is confined largely to
small immediate shipment or filling-in
orders, there is fair activity in the Chi
cago district and farther west, where the
breaking of the drought has helped senti-
ment.
More interest has been developed in the
iron and steel market, and considerable
new business has been done in the East
in basic pig.

Harvard Expert Says Family Cannot

Thomas Nixon Carver. professor of
economics at Harvard university, in an
article printed the other day says it is
not in the interest of society or the la
boring classes that men who cannot earn
SO week should try to marry and bring
up family in place like Boston. When
persons who cannot earn SO week
bring children into the world, the chances
are that the children will be like them,
he says There will thus be large sup
ply of unskilled laborers TO crowd the

superior laborers. He advocates the adj
justment of the labor question and the
exclusion of the ever-increasing stream of
unskiled foreign laborers.

PAPER MADE OF CORN STALKS
Government Chemists Find q Substi-
tute for Wcoa Pulp.

The chemists of the Department of Ag
riculture believe they have solved the
problem OF cheaper paper that will dis.
pense altogether with the use of wood
fiber. The new material is the ordinary
cornstalk now used only as fodder. The
government chemists predict WHOM the
manufacture of the new kind of paper is
started on a large scale it will be az least
30 per cent cheaper than the print paper
now made from wood pulp. 1t also will
put an end to the danger of a pulp fam
inc, which already has begun to assume
alarming proportions. Prodigal exsrava-
gance in the cutting down of forestn for
est fires, and the increased demand for
wood of the spruce tree caused BIZ the
growth of newspapers all over the world
have threatened to exhaust all the worlds
supply of paper material.
Many experiments have been ma &c to
discover some other material TO rsolace
the wood pulp. Some 900 different ma
terials have been tested, but vainly. The
chemistry bureau of the Departments of
Agriculture has been one of the most Darn
est workers in this matter for years, but
not until this week have the results been
so positively successful as to permit any
announcement. The first practicable sam
pies of the new paper have been r.anu-
featured by DIR. III. S. Bristol and hss as
sistants. DIR. Bristol has carried hts ex
periments to the point of making the
paper in five shades. The white paper is
made from the hard outside shell CT the
stalk and the yellow grades from, the
pith. The yellow grades have mic..
longer fiber and resemble the paper made
from linen rags or cotton This kiud of
paper is soft and pliable. Millions OF tons
of cornstalks will be available for this
new manufacture. At present the stalks
are cut and used only as winter fooi for
the stock on the farms. The process of
manufacturing the new invention is r>uch
easier than that involved in reducing wood
pulp to paper.

the climax of long period of drought.
The river was low, and the people had
neglected the usual precautions against
floods, which nearly always are threat

Overwhelmed by Cloudburst.
Rain mad been falling for several
hours, when the greatest fall ever expe-
rienced in this region Of changeable
weather came down. The river at once
became raging torrent and went over
its banks with a rush. Many farms
were overfiowed, buildings were carried
down the stream, and people swept
into the water. One family, consisting
Of father, mother and five children,
sought refuge on top of their house
when it was surrounded by the waters.
1t was soon overwhelmed and all were
drowned.
Many thrilling rescues were made by
those living on higher ground. Boats
of every description were pressed into
service and perilous trips made to the
flooded district. Many people passed
the night in trees, and, 5enumbed at
last by the exposure, dropped to death
in the waters below.
In the valley of the Canadian the
valleys for several miles between Shaw
nee and McLoud are inundated, and in
several places the Rock Island, Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas and the Santa
Fe tracks have been washed cut.
