This issue of the Independent is
a day late in going to press as our
patent sheets failed to arrive. The
roads are blocked today Thursday
A freight train going west through
this city at about six o'clock in the
morning stuck in the drifts east of
Iroquois. Upon learning this the
passenger from the east which had
shortly befote left Tracy, Mimi, was
ordered back to that town, and no
more trains east or. west were run
during the day.
The market took a slump the
past week, having lost Al cents on
wheat at the close of Tuesday. Flax
broke nearly 20 cents for the week.
Oats and barley held up better than
other. grains, although the bulk of
the barley is selling off 2 to 3 cents.
Corn held up well, but as ours is as
yet entirely a "local' market the
price at the terminals is of little in
terest to us here. The cause of the
slump was more liberal receipts and
a natural tendency among the specu.
lative element to take profits, only a
natural reaction after a strong adj
vance. But even at that the pricd is
q cents above the same time last
year.
Frank Myers, representing the
town site Co., of Doland a. South
eastern railway, the new line to be
built between Doland and Iroquois,
was in town last Friday in the in
terest of that company. He executed
a contract for the purchase of eighty
acres of land in section 9-115 60,
where a town will be located. The
land was purchased from Mr.. and
Mrs A. G. Rose. The corrected
survey did not touch the land pre-
viously secured for townsites and new
ones had to be selected. The second
town will be located in the north part
OF Beadle county, three or four miles
west of the inland town of Carpenter
in Clark county. 1t is expected that
grading will be commenced in the
spring as soon as the right-of-way is
secured.-noland Times Record.
Last week there were no cases of

the doctors acted wisely in quarantin

caught the disease. Ansel spent his
three weeks vacation with his mother
in Minneapolis and reached home
only two days before he was taken
sick, hence it is quite evident that be

CHEROKEE WILL
PAVE HER STREETS

Cherokee, Okla, May G--CherolSee
Is taking steps towards paving the
principal streets. The city council
brought up the matter some time ago
and appointed committee to visit
other Oklahoma towns and make a
recommendation The committee re-
turned last night from Enid, Guthrie,
Shawnee and Ardmore and reported
favorably on the proposition, Mayor
Titus visited Ardmore and inspected
the native asphalt deposits. He re-
ported to the council that the applica-
ton of Ardmore asphalt that he had
inspected in that city was the best
being used in Oklahoma towns
The plan here Is to pave three en-
tire streets taking in the business
portion and to gradually absorb the
residence district The next council
will decide the course OF action in
regard to the paving and 1t is expect
ed that there will be little difficulty
in securing the petitions. +

$4,000 in cash, have Just been revealed
to the Boston police authorities by
the officials Of the National Shawmut
bank, which lost that sum through
bogus checks. Three checks, two Tor

his name as Samuel Cohen they
all bore the alleged signature OF AL
len Arnold, head of the banking and
brokerage firm of Allen Arnold and

Cohen had previously transacted
small amount OF business with the

known ut the bank, so that the checks
Were readily cashed.

The bank was the only loser and
the sum was quickly made good by

suit of the Holy Rollers or Holy Jerk
ers holding a protracted jerking at
Proctor last week, George iMayes, a
respectable and successful farmer OF
near that place is raving maniac.
Mayes, who has been devout Bap-
tist most of his life, was persuaded
by friend jerker to attend their meet
ings. From that time on up to his ar
rest his mind had been gradually
growing weaker and weaker until Sun
day morning he seemed anything but
himself. He left home one morning
going to Proctor, where he proceeded
10 pray in front of the postoffice UNI
til train time, when he boarded the
train and came to Tahlequah. Mayes
began preaching and Jerking on the
train and it required the assistance
of three men to hold him. The con
auctor telephoned to the officials here
from yelling to have an officer at
the train and Acting Chief of Police
Johnson was detailed for the case.
The citizens of Proctor are consid'
erably worked up over the occurrence
and many of them have made threats
