We don't know whether It Is authen-
tic or not but the following bit Of his
tory concerning the Chisholm trail,
appearing in the Kansas City Times,
is interesting in view OF the movement
70 make a national highway out OF
the old trail:
The Chisholm Trail is one OF the
historic highways Of the Southwest. It
was the only thoroughfare followed by
treighters and cattle men. in passing
across what Is now Oklahoma. be-
tween Kansas and Texas. The herds
Of cattle driven from Texas northward
over the trail, averaged annually be-
tween 250.OOO and 100000.
The man who laid out this trail.
Jesse Chisholm. lived all his life in
the outskirts Of civilization. He was
born in Tennessee about 1908 His
father. Ignatius Chisholm, was the
son Of John d. Chisholm, the last her
ecltary war chief Of the Cherokees,
His mother was Martha Rogers,
daughter Of Charles Rogers whose
two other daughters. Talihina and
Maria, were respectively the wives of
General Sam Houston and John Drew.
Senator Robert L. Owens mother,
Narcissa Chisholm, who died recently
was a granddaughter Of John d. CHS
holm. Jesse Chisholm died March 4,
1868, about twenty miles west Of the
present town Of Ell Reno.
Jesse Chisholm. with his retinue Of
employees. trappers and painted In
dians, established a camp in 1864,
near what is now Wichita, Kansas.
They built cabins and corrals. In the
fall Chisholm started to mark trail
southwark to his old camp at Council
Grove, about six miles west Of the
present site Of Oklahoma city. Sever
al years later, when Texas cattle men
were looking for an outlet to the rail-
roads to the north, they utilized the
trail and made It great highway to
Wichita"
According to the recollections of a
Ft Worth man whose interview ap.
peared in the Express a few weeks
ago, Mr. Chisholm was one Of the
largest ranchmen il the southwest
and lived many years in Paris. Texas,
going from there to New Mexico, and
establishing a large ranch near Ros-
well.

Is the man who founded it. He was
an excellent newspaper man, with a
good business head. but he had fond.
ness for old booze. He was one OF
those fellows who can drink or let II

urtil the booze thirst got complete
control Of him, and his partners froze
him out, and he went down three
jumps at a time until he landed in an
asylum, from which ha emerged, in

a rapidly growing city and is max

regal state. In order to get into the

Another reason for special ses-
sion which the Enid News urges is
that prospective sH mill state tax
levy. II there is no other way to
avoid such a levy, the News thinks
the governor would be justified in
calling the legislature together to de-
wise a plan. Under the prevailing
business conditions. It is not good
ssne to attempt to wipe out the states
deficiency at one blow. The News be-
iieves that the burden should be dis
tributed over several years. making
the levy this year as low as possible.

LAW SEEMS LAME

Two peddlers were arrested
and brought before Justice Ran
dali last Monday charged with
having beaver hides in their pos
session. The defendants, filed a
! demurrer to the complaint based
on the grounds that it did not
show sufficient evidence under
the statute to constitute a crime
and the demurrer was sustained.
The law says nothing about
beaver hides, but does provide a
penalty for destroying, killing,
or having in possession beaver.
AS it stands the law is more or
less a farce as it would seem i'm
possible to convict one having
beaver hides and it is not likely
many would be found with beaver
in their possession. 1t brings
out a point of law that is of in
terest not only locally but all
over the state.
Atty. Sizemore was private
prosecutor and G. A. Rembold
appeared for the defense.

TWO MEN SHOT, ONE DEAD
JACK TAYLOR, VINO DID SHOOllNu'
MAKES HIS ESCAPE.
youus Man Named pcery Killed and Roee''
Settlemyre Seriously Wounded-'
No Particulars obtained.

A telephone message from
Alberson yesterday afternoon an
lnounced that one man named
Peery had been killed and Robt
Settlemyre dangerously wounded
by Jack Taylor at the Carson
ranch near Andrews the night
before. No particulars were OBJ
tainable as the man who 'phoneo
| in to Sheriff Richardson and the
doctor was not present and could
give no information other thar
that the shooting was the result
of an argument.
The man who did the shooting
is well known, having been in
that section for a number OF
years and was formerly employ
ed by Mr.. Hollis, a sheepman,
The dead man had not been in
that territory a very long time,
we understand he had a small
ranch on Cotton Wood creek, was
a young man and unmarried.
His father lives in South Caro-
lima and the sheriff was request
ed to notify him. Robt Settle
myre is a peaceable citizen and
it seems to be the impression
that he had 40 part in the affair,
merely a bystander and perhaps
hit with a shot intended for the
other man. 1t is not known how
seriously he was wounded. DR..
Marsden started for the scene
last night to give the wounded
man attention.
Sheriff Richardson had intend
ed leaving this morning with
Coroner Geary but the latter has
such pressing duties here just
now he decided not to go as the
local justice could look after the
inquest.
Mr.. Richardson has been in
formed by his deputy in that dis
trict that Taylor had made his
escape and he had decided it un-
necessary to go over. Taylor is
familiar with the country on
south clear to the Mexican line
and with such a start, if he is
really trying TO get away, he
would be clear out of the country
before the sheriff could reach the
place of the shooting and take
up the trail. therefore he consid-
cred it best to try to locate the
man later through other agencies.
Sheriff Richardson is well ac-
quainted with Taylor and says
it is possible he has not ran away
but is coming in to give himself
up. Taylor is not inclined to be
quarrelsome except when drink
ing, according to those who
know him.
