SERIOUS INDIAN
FUED NEAR EUCHA
Father of Beaver chuwaIOolsy Is Killed
With Blow With Poker in
Hands Of His Son.

The existence Of serious Indian
feud in the Spavinaw hills near the lit
tie town of Eueha, in which one person
has already lost his life and two other
Indians were seriously wounded, be-
came known through the office of the
division Indian agent here today.
The killing occurred last Thursday,
and it seems, was the result Of the too
free distribution of whisky among the
indians.
Chick-alee Vann, one of the oldest
Indians in that section, filled up on the
forbidden firewater and went to the
home of his son, Beaver Chuwalooly,
land threatened to exterminate the en-
/ tire family. With the assistance of
several of the neighbors the old Indian
was taken to his home about mile
and half distant, and left bound SO
that 1t was thought he would not be
dangerous However, the old man in
some way freed himself and again
went to the home of his son. When
he arrived he found Chick vann, a
brother of Beavers, in the house and
attacked him. Beaver returned and ran
up behind the drink-crazed father and

ing Chick Vann. The old Indian threw
| up his hand in which he held the
knife and it struck Beaver in the face
and inflicted great wound down the
side of his face and neck. Another
slash cut his neck, and Beaver, think
Il ing his father really meant to kill the
entire family, picked up a poker and
struck the old man blow that he
thought would fell him and not Sc
riously wound him The blow, how
ever, was fatal The father fell to the
floor dead

Vann are under arrest, although the

the mud the auto trip had been far

HASKELL WANTS STATE TO
HAVE PRODUCE EXHIBIT

To the People of Oklahoma:
l am advised by the committee In
charge that space will be reserved free
for an Oklahoma exhibit at the Ozark
Interstate Exposition to be held in
Joplin, Mo-, October 5 to IL, 1910
This exposition is designed for the
purpose of displaying the resources of
the four states whose boundaries meet
in the vicinity Of Joplin Missouri,
Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma
No four states Iii the Union are 81
rich in variety of resources-none
more favored by climate and class of
citizenship. Millions of wealth lie yet
untouched by the hand of man Es-
|pecially is this true of Oklahoma,
where conditions prior to statehood
were a barrier to progress and devel-
opment.
Oklahoma has nothing to fear in a
comparison of products and resources,
with any state in the Union. The great
variety and quantity Of our resources
is the wonder that astonishes every
visitor to our state.
] heartily endorse the plan to dis
play the wealth and products of the
Southwest, and recommend that
every county in Oklahoma, especially
those counties contiguous to the above
named states, furnish an exhibit for
the Interstate Exposition to be held at
Joplin, and that the fair associations
of the various counties, farmers insH-
tutes, and commercial clubs of the
states use their best efforts to have
the prize exhibit on this occasion
Respectfully.

Grocers' Night Tonight, Showing Great
 Fishinq Picture.

One of the greatest educational and most interesting pictures shown at the Breed theater this season is the film entitled The Fishing Industry in Gloucester, being the most complete and com prehensive handling of an in duztria1 subject ever shown in this city. Every phase of the industry is completely and minutely shown, from the panorama of the harbor to the final drying and packing of the vari- ous brands Of fish preparations. The celebrated estabH Shment of the Cor ton-Pew Fisheries Co. was selected as the suitable representative house to present these scenes and this mann moth concern, employing over four thousand persons is shown in detail, as we'll ae the entire trip to sea, cov- ering a distance requiring weeks to return. MT. Gorton of the Gorton- Pew Co happened to be in town yes terday and hearing of the picture be- ing shown here hastened to invite the Erocers of this city to be present this evening as his guests, practically every grocer signifying his intention to be present The remainder of the bill is wonderfully strong and delighted the splendid audience last evening. Miss Wolcott sings The -AudaIusian Sere- made with fine effect, the orchestral accompaniment adding greatly to it.
