Wild BLOOMING.

Wild Blooming.
The petals on the forest flower
That lightly trembles in the shade
Share to their fill the sun and shower
And leave no memory when they fade.
Like smiles that shine and die away,
Like songs that are SO soon forgot,
They greet US, innocently gay,
Unfit for a more glorious lot.
No clustering fruit will proudly tell
An autumn tale of hours we'll spent.
And yet Dame Nature loves them well,
They live their lives. She IL content.

Judge Clark will today hear argu-
ments in the Columbia Bank and

commenced against the surety com
panies by the bank commissioner ia

ness.

CALL ANOTHER ELECTION
FOR ADAIR COUNTY

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 29.--In accord
ance with a recent decision of the
supreme court Governor Haskell has
issued his proclamation calling sec
ond county seat election in Adair
county for February "a. The towns
contesting are Westville and Still
we'll
In the first county seat election, the
two named towns then being the con-
testants also, held June 2, 1908, and
Stillwell was awarded the prize by the
governor, who found that that town
had received majority Of the votes
cast. Westville took the election into
the supreme court, and reversed the
governor. The supreme court held
that neither town received majority
of all the votes cast, this being due to
the fact that there was a large num-
Der of illegal or mutilated ballots
which could not be counted for neith-
er town and which was sufficient to
keep either town from having ma
jority of all votes.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, D. G.. Dec 29.-Unless
President Taft abandons this pretty
firmly fixed intention he will not wait
for the conclusion, nor even for the
beginning of the congressional inquiry
into matters connected with the social
ed Ballinger-Pinchot controversy. be-
fore sending to congress his special
message on conservation of natural
resources The president probably
will begin the prepartion of this mes
sage as soon as he finishes the anti
trust and interest-state commerce
act amendment message. which he is
now working on. White House callers,
who have talked with the president
describe him as believing that he will
best prove his friendship for "Roose-
welt policies" by putting laws on the
statute books that will lactually carry
these policies into effect.

CHIEF CRAZY SNAKE
IS REPORTED DEAD
it is Now Believed That the Old
Creek Warrior Died in First
skirmish Of "RebeIIion."

Muskogee, Okla, Dec 29.-Ihat old
Chief Chitto Harjo, or Crazy Snake,
as he is more commonly known is dead
lin fact died on the second day OF
the famous Snake or Smoked meat
rebellion in March and April 1909, is
the generally accepted theory in Ok
lahoma now. The old leader of the
Creek clans who were melted by neg
roes who made life miserable for
white settlers about Henryetta and the
Hickory camping ground, is not only
believed to be dead, but a deputy
sheriff, whose name must be withheld,
a member Of posse from Mcintosh
county, offered to show newspaper
man the grave of the warrior.
Oklahoma's several companies OF
militia in command Of Col. Roy Hoff-
man were encamped at Hickory and
beating the brush for miles around
for nearly two weeks, We're evidently
the victims of hallucination or a
hoax when they followed clue after
clue and rumor after rumor, expect
ing to capture Crazy Snake each day
until finally called in by the governor
when Col. Hoffman advised his su'
perior officers that he believed the
campaign was a needless expense.
It is supposed now that Crazy Snake
died during the skirmish on the sec
ond day Of the rebellion the only
event in fact that could be rightfully
called a skirmish. The grave Of the
chief is said to be within four miles
of the Hickory stomping graund, in
a hidden ravine, known only to the
Indians closest warriors who were
with him when he was killed and bur
ried his body where they believed il
would never be found.
The Smoked Meat" rebellion was
the outcome OF the continual depreda
tions of band of Creek negroes
whose headquarters we're not far from
Henryetta and between that place
and the Hickory camp ground. On the
morning of Wednesday, March "a
1909 posse of deputies from Nc
Intosh county attempted to capture
members of this band, with the result
that two days battle ensued, il
which several negroes were killed, and
some deputies wounded.
A Creek rally followed this, and the
Hickory ground was the rendezvous
of Crazy Snake and large number
of his followers. The local officers
believed themselves unable to cope
with the situation and Acting
Governor Bellamy, who was ir
the chair for few days, call
ed out several companies of militia
naming Col. Roy Hoffman as field
commander. There were about 81
men in the field, their all absorbing
purpose being the capture of ole
Crazy Snake, dead OF alive. 1t now
seems to be established that they
were seeking him alive for fort
night. after he had been killed.

TWO MEN ENTOMBED.
IN 'ALESTER NINE
Rescue Party Of Fifty Men Worker
Continuously Since Explosion
In Search Of Miners.

by Associated fIesb.
McAlester, Okla. Dec. 29.-Two
men are now entombed in the Bolen-
Darnall coal mine. near here, in
which an explosion occurred last night
and it is feared both are dead
The rescue party composed Of fifty
men, which has worked continuously
since the explosion has been unable
to find Angelo Ascinar, the shot firer,
who was entomDed last night, and the
efforts to locate John Brown, general
superintendent of the mine, who en-
tered the mine today, have been
equally unsuccessful.
Brown, accompanied by Thomas
Weatherby the pit boss, went in
to the mine to learn what damage had
been done. Time passed and they did
not return and their friends on the
surface became anxious, finally send
ing men into the mine to search for
them. Weatherby was found uncon-
scious, but Brown was nowhere to be
seen. Brown, who lives In Hartford,
Ark, is prominent mining expert.
