Storm Heavy Rain DeIuges
vinita And Vicinity.

Vinita and vicinity was visited by
one of the heaviest rains ever expert
enced here. last night The downpour
began about II o'clock and continued
almost without cessation -until this
morning. and the indications are that
the rain is not yet ended.
For the first time many months
Bull creek is running bank full, and
the larger streams are rieing. The
rain has been a great relief to the
stockmen, as the tanks that have so
long been dry are now full, and there
is stock water in abundance.
About the only damage reported
was done at the Dan Myers store,
where the water ran into the show
windows and ruined a lot Of goods on
display.
The rain was accompanied by one
of the most severe electrical storms
in the history of the town. No serious
damage. however, has been reported.

CAN'T SELL INDIAN
LANDS FOR TAXES
Judge Campbell Grants Restralnsins
Order Against County Treasurers
in Thirty-seven Counties.

Muskogee Okla, Nov. ia tenn
porary restraining order was issued in
the federal court here by Judge Camp
bell yesterday afternoon against the
county treasurers in thirty-seven coun-
ties Of the old Indian Territory to pre-
vent them from selling Indian lands
next Monday TO enforce collection Of
taxes. The restraining order was ask
ed by the department OF the interior.
The question involves the right Of
the state to levy taxes against land
owned by Indian citizens which, it ID
alleged, was exempted from taxation
by the Indian treaties. providing for
allotment In three counties no such
taxes have been levied. The United
States marshal has in his possession
three wagon loads OF records. These
are copies of the records Of the old
Dawes commission and are supposed
to show what land is taxable and what
is not.

MISS Geek Returns
TO OKLAHOMA CITY
Authorities Vhat Seneca Girl VIII Able
to Assist Them in Locating
Kryder.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. H.
Volunteering TO return to Oklahoma
City without requisition Miss Maud
Geek, located in Seneca, Mo-, and who
has been sought since R. d. Cannon
was found murdered on top of the
Campbell building, will reach here to-
day with an offer who left for Seneca
yesterday afternoon.
1t is believed when Miss Geek re-
turns here she may be able to help
locate c. NJ. Kryder, wanted in con-
nection with the affair The reports
that he had been located in Ell Paso
and Houston have no foundation.
Stories are coming to light of per
sons who saw men on top Of the Camp
bell building late Saturday evening.
N. S. Sherman, foundryman, now
says that he saw three men on top of
the building probably as late as 5:Se
or o'clock Saturday evening, but
could not distinguish any of them.
It is the belief that Cannon was
killed early in the evening, possibly
before dark, and his body secreted on
the top of the bHilding, where it was
not found for probably twenty hours
afterward
Habeas corpus proceedings for the
release from custody of v. ]. Rowley,
who is being held, were started in
court here today and postponed until
tomorrow. Rowley is being held on a
forgery charge, but he was thought to
be more important as witness.
The return of Miss Geek here is con-
sidered advantageous, although the po-
lice refuse to divulge why. She will
be closely questioned.
