OLD LANDMARKS
ARE DISAPPEARING
Old Buildings at Fort Gibson Made
Famous by Visits of Great Are
Being Raced.

Muskogee, Okla, May 27.-One by
one the old landmarks of historic Fort
Gibson the being torn down. The old
house on Garrison Hill, where Jeffer-
son Davis. leader of the Southern Con
fedracy, once lived has been gone for
two years. The old barracks building
1000 feet long and two stories high, is
half torn down. The stone is being
used for a modern dwelling in Fort
Gibson. The old Presbyterian church
and schoolhouse, where Henry M,
Stanley, the African explorer, once
taught school, is now only a dilapidat-
ed old structure. This building was of
wood, resting on great stone pillars,
and was erected in 1885 by the Pres
byterian board of missions. 1t was
for many years the only church edifice
in old Fort Gibson, where the officers
and soldiers worshiped.
James G. Blaine, while sojourning in
Fort Gibson after his defeat for the
presidency in 1884, with Colonel Cop
pinger, his son-in-law, attended church
services here. 1t was in this building

ZOO ELKS COMING
FROM MUSK0GEE
Muskooee Bills Will Come on Special
Train With Band to Enliven
Occasion With Music.

The following from the Muskogee
Times-Democrat of Wednesday is a
sample Of what may be expected here
tomorrow night;
Vinita is going to come alive Fri
day afternoon, in a fashion that will
make the citizens of other towns sit
up and take notice. The town is to
be invaded with the livest bunch Of
Elks that ever herded together, and
they are going from Muskogee as
members of the local lodge of Elks
for the purpose of installing local in
Vinita.
For this special occasion arrange
ments are being perfected for the
most stupendous show that has ever
visited Vinita, members of the Mus
kogee herd being the chief actors and
the Vinita candidates the victims.
Nor will the Muskogee bunch ride
to- the scene of action in a common
train. No sir. From indications so
far regular tram won't be able 10
accommodate the big crowd. and for
fear that such might be the case,
the Elks have arranged for special
train over the Katy, which will leave
here Friday afternoon at O'Clock.
To enliven the trip owens band
of twelve pieces has been engaged
to furnish music, assisting the Elks'
band, which will appear much the
same as a few weeks ago when it
paraded during the Elks' fair
Among the many Muskogee Bills"
who will make the Vinita trip, are
Bill owen, Col Ury. Gid Sleeper, Jack
Land, Harry Oliver and about two
hundred more live ones.

ney, who is assisting in the proseeu-
tion.
He applied epithets to West and
Blakeney that caused the spectators
and jury to listen in astonishment.
Prueitt impugned the motives of West
in the prosecution of Judge Maben
He said that West was trying to add
to his political prestige for the cam
paign of 1910 by being able to show
that he had convicted a district Judge,
whom, Prueitt says, is guiltless of any
political crime Blakeney had pre-
ceded Prueitt and in his speech made
a careful analysis of the evidence.
Judge Maben does not show that he
is under any great stream. He smiles
and talks at intervals with his friends
The case did not reach the jury last
night as was expected. Court was
adjourned until this morning at which
time Prueitt will finish his argument.
He will be followed by A. c. Cruce
for the defense, who has said that he
will speak three or four hours. At
torney Geenral West then will close
the case and the jury will retire to
deliberate upon its verdict 1t is the
intention of Attorney General West
to prosecute Judge Maben under some
other of the eight or nine indictments
brought against him should the state
not be successful in this case.
