STRONGHEART CALLS ON
AN OKLAHOMA AGENT

Okmulgee, Okla, Aug. 26.-James
e. Strongheart, a Sioux Indian was a
caller at the office of District Agent
T. F. Farrar, this week. He is grand,
son of the famous chief. Sitting Bull.
In "Strongheart," a famous college
football play, the author got the name
from Mr.. Strongheart, who was for
number of years a student at Har-
ward.
Mr.. Strongheart is travelling and liv-
ing with the Indians under the direc-
tion of the Indian Rights association
of the Western federation. He is in.
vestigating conditions among his peo,
pie in all parts of the United States
and his reports go to the government
Many Of the government officials
sent out to investigate Indian condi
tions do not really learn the truth Of
things, but Strongheart lives among
them, hears their direct life, their diff
|ficulties and needs. He is member
of the Sioux tribe, whose reservations
are in the Dakotas. He has spent three
months among the Creeks.
He has found the Creeks and Semi
noles discontented. In short, theil
troubles seem to be mainly tuberculosis
and grafters. The disease is making
serious inroads on the two tribes. he
said, and the government must pro
vide medical attention for them ai
once.
He said the Creeks are very super
stitious and many still have faith ii
the medicine men"
Strongheart will recommend a larger
government force in looking after the
Creeks. He says that they are beins
imposed upon too often by white men
who have the aid of educated Indian:
in their work.
The investigator is modest Indian
both in dress and manner. He talked
for some time with Agent Farral
about Indian conditions and his rem
edies and suggestions appeared to b,
founded upon long acquaintance will

COAL MINES WILL

Indications Are That Both Sides Are
Far Enough Gone to Get Together

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug 26.-The
coal mines in the Southwestern dis
trict, including Kansas, Oklahoma,
Missouri and Arkansas, may reopen
the last of next week or possibly
sooner.
The miners an dthe operators are
expectant The miners will convene in
Pittsburg, Kan, Saturday to vote on
the proposition submitted yesterday by
the operators to the miners presidents
and secretaries of the different states
in the district. Alexander Howatt,
president of the Kansas district, is
said to be the only leader of the min
ers holding back on an agreement.
The miners are eager to return to
work as are the operators to reopen
the mines and get ready for the win
ter demand for coal. The miners lead
ers hope the Pittsburg convention will
mot repudiate their plan to confer
again with the operators and agree
on contract. BY that agreement the
miners are to receive increases In
wage scales and the operators to get
concessions regarding the working
conditions in the mines.
II the Pittsburg convention approves
the plan the miners conferees. in
cluding T. l.. Lewis, president OF the
national association, will come to Kan
sas City Monday and meet the con
ference committee on mine operators
They viii finish the contract that Lew

gan before the peace negotiations were
broken. If there are no mishaps the
contract probably can be finished by
the middle of next week.

the depot master and his assistant
were working at their desks, two
masked men appeared at the window
and, thrusting two murderous looking
guns through the opening, demanded

hands. The demand was Immediately
complied with and then the men were
compelled to open the door and come
outside. where they were made to
stand aside while one of the robbers
entered the depot and rifled the cash

Several other sites than at the brick

most favorable ones were on the Katy

the Katy from Dan Warren's hay barn,
| About a half acre of ground to one
acre could be had at the old stock yards
site at cost of from 81 900 to 81, 500,
while three acres could be had beyond
Warren's at $500 and as every one
consulted considered the latter location

| To secure the site at cost of 5000
pay $500 freight and erect brick

$500 and it will thus be seen that

raised

who have not contributed at all, many
