This cage was erect ed with much care and considerable eX- pense, but it is there to stay and is the finest improvement made since the island was discovered. There is no longer any danger that the bears will escape, and it is not necessary to state that loose bears may sometimes be dangerous. A recent addition to the Dooley family is tiny specimen brought in from Lemon creek last week. It is now just called athe baby" but if it survives and grows up it will be called 'Fanny." Crowds of people go over to Mayfower island every day to look at the Dooleys. Next Saturday is Tag Day, when everybody will have an | opportunity to help little.

CHEROEEES ASSISTkTE STATE
IN PROTECTION OF GAME

Oklahoma City, July 1O.--Accord-
ing to M. NJ Ballew, deputy fish and
game warden for the tenth district,
comprising several northeastern coun-
ties of Oklahoma, the Cherokee In
dams have proven valuable help in
the enforcement of the game laws of
the state.
THE Cherokee Indians in my dis
trict have great respect for the law, "
said Mr.. Ballew, "and when it is ex-
planned to them they are very anxious
to observe it and assist in its enforce
ment. When a party of pot hunters or
a tie cutting gang come into any of
the counties of my district and kill
game out of season where large num-
bers of Indians reside, the Indians in
many cases report violations and in
some cases they go out and arrest the
offender and take him to the officers.
Mr.. Ballew says that there are many
wild turkeys and a number of deer in
the Cherokee hill country and that in
Delaware county where it is against
the law to kill them at any season of
the year they are quite tame and five
or six are often seen together.

WAS NEAR DELUGE
Begun With Slow DrizzIe And In.
creased to Heavy Downpour
During Night.

All of eastern Oklahoma was visited
by good soaking rain last night that
put the final touches to the drouth that
had threatened this section The
ground is now thoroughly wet, for the
first time in many months, and it is
the opinion of many that even though
no more rain falls, the corn crop will
be good. Bull creek was higher last
night than it has been for year.
The downpour began with slow
drizzle yesterday afternoon that in
creased to a near deluge about 7
O'Clock last evening, This heavy down
pour continued for about four hours
and it is estimated that the rainfall
was over two inches.
The rain last night was accompanied
by severe electric storm, but so far
as learned there was no damage, OF
any consequence. There was a small
washout on the Frisco west of town,
but that was repaired in a very short
time.
1t seems that the weather man has
been trying to make up for the time
lost in May and June. Rains fall here
about three times a week now, and
since July /, there has been about six
inches of rain.
