 McALESTER, Okla, Aug. s.-In connection with the hearing of the Gore charges, Jake L. Hamon today charged Congressman Creager with soliciting money from McMurray. It was "Indian day at the hearing.
 Several testified that they had signed the McMurray 10 per cent agreement because they had become impatient with the actions of the government. MeMurray's agents had gone among the Indians, and s5 per cent of them had signed the agree ments.
 Parke Anderson, ChOetaw, said the most of the Indians in the state were used to the 10 per cent idea, that they had borrowed money. "We have become So dependant up- on the attorneys, that they have a hand in everything we do."
 He further said they were willing to pay p per cent to get ready money with which to develop taeir lands. '
 c. c. Choate, another Choetaw, said he would sooner get $4,5OO while living than $5,OOO when he was dead.

 While there is some foundation for the statement made by Hamon, hs
 must have stated the case in an en- tirely different manner than it was
 given him by MeMurray. Before leaving Muskogee, last November, I tried to trade certain property for eighty acres of farm land, worth $1O,OOO, agreeing to pay the differ enee, amounting to s4,000. found I could not meet the requirements of the transaction and made application to the state for a loan from the school fund. In December, after my arrival at Washington, I received a letter from Guthrie, denying the re- quest. MeMurray learned of my diff feulty, and offered to make the loan himself. Later MeMurray ques- tioned the properiety of our entering into the deal, and the matter was dropped. He never loaned me the money"

year he has made a crop. The
rains always fall in the summer;
they've never been known to fail
and Branagh always has the seed
in the dry ground when the rains
come. The ground being dry, the
seed will not spoil. no matter how
long it has to remain there and
the heat to which it has been sub
jected, assists in sprouting when
the rain does fall.
Two years ago Branagh went
to Ell Paso and took a position
with the Mexican State Agricul-
ural College of chihuahua, op-
posite Ell Paso, and was given a
little patch of raw land twenty
miles in the interior of Rancheria
on which to conduct experiments
his success at Cananea having
brought him to the attention of
the Mexican agricultural COM
missioner, Molona. With raw land
he had only three inches of rain
fall the first summer. but he
made his USUAL crop. Last year he
had less than four inches of rain,
but it all came in July and Aug
ust, just when he needed it, and
again his crop was a success, He
put in q few watermelons these
years and raised more than en-
ough to fatten several big pens
of hogs. demonstrating that an
other valuable and useful product
could be grown in a very short
time.

TREASURER HTK|NS0N
DIES hFT6R LONG ILLNESS
Funeral most Largely Attended in History the County Had
Taken Active Part in Development of the Valley
especially in Church and School Work

:, the church to the cemetery, tn,
people showing their respect fo
a great and good man. All bust
ness houses in town closed dur
ing the services, even to the
Planning Mill shutting down
everyone attending the services
which were held at the Baptist
| Church. Rev. ]. R. Carver, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church
conducted the service, assisted
by Rev. G. |. Walker, pastor of
the Baptist Church. A touching
eulogy was a feature Of the occas-
ion, in which the pastor dwelt
largely on the exemplified life of
the deceased, his work for his
neighbors in many ways, especial
ly his untiring efforts howard the
building up of good schools. At
the cemetery the local lodge of
the Masonic Order had charge of
the service, the Eastern Star and
the blue and the Gray" assist
ing. Mr.. Atkinson had lived the
life of consistent christian, prov
ing his faith by his works.
Neighbors in trouble or distress
never went comfortless if he
learned of their distress. The
widow and orphan always found
in him a friend indeed.
An incident which occurred
soon after our first acquaintance
with Mr.. Atkinson has been
indelibly stamped on our memory
Being with a surveying party in
the neighborhood of his home,
Mr.. Atkinson invited us to take
dinner with them. After having
walked all morning the invitation
was gladly and gratefully accept
ed. Seated at the table, Mr..
Atkinson asked the Divine Bless
ing on the food before partaking
of it, something altogether Of too
rare occurrence in this new
country. After having been
around through the country and
at hotels where such a thing is
never thought Of, it reminded us
more Of home than had anything
in months. Naturally of course
the food tasted better than any
we had eaten for many a moon.
When the first Sunday School
was organized in Estancia, and
workers were few and hard to
secure, we found Mr.. Atkinson
always ready and willing to take
hold and help, which was indeed
appreciated.
The family is assured of the
sincere sympathy of everyone
in their hour Of sorrow, and have
the assurance of a glorious re
union in the future.

death relieved from long and in
tense suffering our friend an,
|neighbor, M. B. Atkinson, one o
the pioneer settlers Of the valley
| Mr.. Atkinson has been i'll fo
|some time, having gone to thu
| Hot Springs something over twt
months ago in hopes of obtaining
relief, but in vain. Returning
from the springs, he stopped ir
Albuquerque and underwent ar
operation. In his weakened con-
dition this proved so severe fol
him that he has been confined to
his bed since his return.
Mr.. Atkinson was one Of our
most respected and most loved
citizens of the whole Estancia
! Valley, taking a delight in work
ing for any movement that would
advance and develope the new
country, which he chose about
seven years ago as his home.
Naturally a leader among men
and always Thoughtful of others,
he occupied a prominent place
always, never seeking honors
but always receiving them at the
hands of his neighbors a n d
friends.
He was born in Washington
County, Texas in 1841, residing
in various portions. of the state
until 1903, when he, came to. the
Estancia Valley. At the age of
10 he joined the "Boys in Grey"
as a member of Co. G, 10th
Texas Infantry under Col. Roger
@, Mills, proving an efficient
and loyal soldier throughout the
dark days of '61-'63. In 1874 he
married Miss Melissa D. Terry
to which union were born eleven
children, eight of whom are
living in Torrance and Lincoln
counties.
Mr.. Atkinson has always been
a strenuous worker for good
schools and churches in the val
ley, having served as a member
of the local school board the
greater part of his seven years
residence here. AS a member of
the building committee of the
First Methodist Church, he rem
dered valiant service in the erec-
tion Of the building of that de-
nomination. Since the organi-
zation of t h Presbyterian
Church here, he has been a
faithful and leading member of
that church. AS a member of
the Masonic order he W a S
honored by his fellow Masons in
numerous ways.
In the election of 1908, the
democrats Of Torrance county
nominated him for the office of
county treasurer and eX-officio
collected of Torrance County.
When the returns came in Mr..
Atkinson was shown to be the
choice of the voters by a hand
some majority. Securing the
services of Miss Annie Porter as
his deputy, the work of the Of
flee was at once placed on a sys-
tematic basis, and has been kept
in better conditions and far bet
ter results were obtained under
his administration that ever be-
fore in the history of the coun-
ty. Since Mr.. Atkinson has had
charge of the collection of taxes,
there have been funds on hand
for the payment of the accounts
against the county, which was
never the case before. A sue
cessor, who will look after the
affairs of the Office with the same
carefulness, will be indeed hard
to find.
The funeral was the most
largely attended of any in histo-
ry of the county. At least seven
