CAUGHT STRANGE BEAST
An Animal Resembling Monkey and
 Otter Captured on Stilwell Heights Has Been in Captivity.

After an exciting chase James Lacy and several of his children assisted by John Beavers and his son captured an animal which as yet no one has been able to name.
 Mir. Lacy lives on South De Queen street at the edge of town just beyond George Petty's home. Sev- eral times in the last few weeks a strange animal has been seen prowl- ing around in that neighborhood, often seen by Mir. Lacy's children.
 Tuesday one of the boys came upon the animal in W. E. Watkins pasture, half mile south of their home. Other members of the fam | fly were summoned and chase taken up with view of taking the animal alive if possible.
 After lively chase the animal ran into the buggy shed of John Beavers on Stilwell Heights where 1t was captured by Mir. Beavers and his son and turned over to Mir. Lacy, who carried it home and placed it in a cage.
 Mr. Lacy described the beast as weighing about 25 pounds, with a | body over two feet long. It has a tail ot about equal length. Its body and tail are covered with heavy coat of brown fur which turns to almost u grey on it's neck and head. Its legs are short, the hind legs and feet resembling in shape those of g bear. It runs with it's back bumped up like monkey and resembles one 1 in many ways but the head would put it more in the class of an opossum, having very long pointed nose and ears.
 1t evidently is not a native of this portion of the country and has prob ably escaped from captivity as the fur is worn off streak around it's neck, apparently by collar. While lit was quite wild and made fierce 1 fight before being captured, it has | become very submissive since placed l in it's cage. teats bread and meat 1 and seems perfectly at home. I Mir. Lacy Is anxious to have some one tell him what kind of beast he has captured.

For Many Years a Man of Much
 Influence in Polk County.

John Wesley Bates, better known as "Uncle Wes" Bates, whose death was recorded in The Star last week, was man whose life had much influence on the early history of Polk county.
 Mir. Bates was born in South Carolina Tn 1928, being therefore in his 80th year at the time of his death. In 1852 he came to Polk county and during the rest of his life lived on his farm at the head of Big Fork creek in the eastern part of Polk county, where he made reputation placing him in the front rank among men of this section. lie was for four years coroner oi Polk county. He was not a mem tber of any religious denomina' ton nor of any ot any secret orders.
 MT. Bates was married in lS5l to Mary l.. Baker and was the father of nine children, six oi whom are still living, five daughters and one son. They are: Jane, widow of w. k IShockley; Nancy, wife of Loui' IJ. Hendrix; Eveline, wife of C w. Heath; Martha Ann, wife oI ] William Hendrix; Stephen Bates, who is now living on the old home; Eliza, the youngest living lchild, wife of k A. Lewis, post master at Big Fork,
 ! Besides these there were lett tc mourn his loss a wife, thirty-six grandchildren, eleven great grandchildren and large mum. Der of other relatives, most oi whom reside in Polk and Mont. gemery counties.
 | Uncle Wesley's final illness be- gan about year ago with a stroke of paralysis, and he has been helpless since that time. For two weeks before his end he was unable to take any nourish- ment. In his last days all poss:- ble was done to make him com fortable and his end was one of peace, as though going to a better home to prepare the way for the loved ones to follow.

HOW HER LIFE WAS SAVED WHEN
 BITTEN BY A LARGE SNAKE.

How few people there are who are not afraid of snakes. Not long ago a harmless little garter snake fell on the wheel of an au- tomobile which was being driven by woman. The woman promptly fainted and the car, left 10 it's own resources, ran into stone wall and caused serious accident.
 The bite of poisonous snake reeds prompt attention, Mrs. K. NJ. Fishel, Route No. I, Box 40, Dillsburg. Pa, tells how she saved her life when bitten by a large snake.
 SOn August 29, 1906, l was bitten on the hand twice by a large copperhead snake. Being a distance from any medical aid, as. last resort I used Sloau's Liniment. and to my astonish- meut found that 1t killed all pain aud was the means of saving my life. 1 am the mother of four children and am never without your Liniment.

NEW LAWS ARE EFFECTIVE.
Jim Crow and Guarantee Banking
 Measures Now Operative.

Guthrie, Ok, Feb. 17.-The first two laws enacted by the present Oklahoma legislature to become effective, the state guaranty banking and the Jim Crow" coach and depot law went into effec, today and both are to be tested.
 Since the banking law was trst passed au amendment has been made with the purpose of per mitting national banks to take advantag of the law without the consent of comptroller of the currency.
 Thus far 40 national banks out of 300 in the state have applied for permission, and of 4S2 state banks, 460 complied with the law today, 2 being shut out as not
 
 adequate under the law.
 While under the law, one per cent assessment must be made on the average daily deposits of all banks to constitute the guaranty deposit fund, yet at the beginning only one half of the one per cent is being levied to make it easier ou the banks to comply. The railway companies have i not completed the changes in tht depots. There are 400 to change in the state. Every railroad operating in violation of the "Jiu Crow" law, which went into effect today, is subject to heav, ] penalties for disobedience. To night it is said the house will no adopti the resolution extending the depot changing time.
 Tonight Edward F. McCate, | negro and former deputy auditor of Ok ahoma, filed a petition ir the Federal circuit court here asking an order restraining th, ! Oklahoma railroads from putting the Jim Crow law into effec on the ground that 1t is violation of the enabling law, which direct, that the state constitution shal be Republican in form and mak, no distinction in civil or politica reports ou account of race ol color.
 The test case brought by At torueys Flynn and Ames of Okla. homa City to test the legality oi the guaranty deposit law was filed here last night in the state Supreme court, the Noels sta.S bank being the plaintiff. An at- tempt will be made to declare the flaw unconstitutional.
