TORNADO KILLS I;
OTHERS INJURED
A Twister Demolishes Twenty Houses
in Skiatook; Newkrk Storm.

Tulsa Okla, May 2S,--Seven people
We're instantly killed, three others
probably will die and a score or more
persons were injured when a tornado
swept through Skiatook, eighteen
miles northwest Of here, about $50
Monday night. All communication
with the stricken town was cut off and
the first authentic news reached here
late Tuesday afternoon.
The storm swept down the valley
for five miles, bringing destruction to
farm houses and sweeping completely
bare heavily wooded places 1t passed
through the south part Of the town
and in few minutes completely de-
stroyed twenty homes The twister
then swept into the oil field, leveling
all dericks, tanks and pumping sta
tions. 1t is estimated the loss in the
oil fields alone will amount to $4,000.
The dead are Mrs. Dalton, -
Oleson and wife and three children,
and 12-year-old son of Geo. Mayhem.
Fatally injured: Geo. Mayhem and
wife and two children; two Oleson
children; c, II. Johnson; five persons
named Beyers and C. c. Adkins. Three
storm cellars in Skiatook housed sew
enty-five people, probably thus pre-
venting further loss of life.
The total damage is estimated Tues
day at not less than $4,000. Relief
has been sent from this city. The
names of many of the injured could
not be learned but it is said they will
be brought to the hospitals in this
city.

Was Once a Newspaper Man.

Tulsa Okla, May 29A(Speciall ~
Newspaper men, cheer up, there may
be chance for you yet. Senator Rob
ert L. owen was once the meek editor
Of a country weekly newspaper, in In
dian Territory
Senator Owen purchased the old
Vinita Chieftain, nearly thirty years
ago, when it was weekly paper. He
took charge Of the paper January lsb
1883 and managed the sheet for year
and half.
While in Vinita Tuesday morning
Senator Owen visited the office of the
Daily Chieftan and went through the
files of the paper for the period when
it was owned and edited by him. He
was amused at some of his own edi-
torial work and reminded of many in
eidents of those days which had long
ago slipped from his memory

CRUCE
TO START CAPITAL
Proposes to Start the Building Of a
Million Dollar Capitol Building
Within Five Weeks.

Oklahoma City. May Ex-Governor
Cruce has Joined with the Oklahoma
City capital promoters in an attempt
to forestan the initiated bill for the
removal of the capital from Oklahoma
| City.
The petition for new election on
the capital location is being rapidly
signed but in order to forestall this
| it is planned to start work on the cap
| itol building July 4th.
The fact that no plans for the cap
itol building have been agreed upon
is in nowise to deter the promoters
scheme. Governor Cruce said Satur-
day that he had not accepted any plans
and did not propose to be in a hurry
about it, and yet he agreed at the same
time to break ground and start to
work in five weeks.
The people of the state will doubt
less be interested in a most peculiar
statement the governor is purported
to have made to the Sunday Oklaho.

the president, and have also received
ldeeds to much of the land. There are
but a few defects in the remaining

1t seems hardly credible that the

location, to begin some sort of pri-
mary work at once, and that without
action by the legislature, and'without
vestige of authority to do so.
| There is some talk to the effect that
| injunction proceedings will be sought
to stop this latest of fraud and de-
ception upon the part of the Oklahoma
crowd. The people of the state are
amazed at the boldness of the governor
and the Oklahoma City grafters.

ROOSEVELT AND
WOODROW WILSON
viii Fight it Out in November is the
Opinion of United States Senator
Gardner.

Washington, D. c., May 29.-That
Theodore Roosevelt will be the nom
inee of the republican party at Chi
cago next month and that Woodrow
Wilson is the one democrat who can
take his measure in November, was
the opinion expressed today Wy Unit
ed States Senator Gardner OF Maine.
with Roosevelt as the republican
candidate the democratic convention
at Baltimore will have to nominate its
strongest man in order to win," re-
marked Senator Gardner at the cap
itol today. while know that Roose-
welt is insincere and a demagogue, his
liability to lead people to believe that
he is for them every day in the year.
and that he is second Abraham Lin
coin, make him most formidable
candidate. No ordinary democrat can
defeat him. Should the party at Balti-
more nominate candidate a
weak record and one who has uot ac-
complished something, there will be
no contest Roosevelt would have q
walkoyer. a great opportunity is af-
forded the democracy to win this year.
1t has candidate with record of
magnificent accomplishments, man
who in intellectual capacity is second
to none, and man who can meet
Theodore Roosevelt on the stump or
elsewhere. That man is Woodrow Will
son, the great governor of New Jersey.
whose prediction promises have
squared with his accomplishments.
Roosevelt would be on the defensive
from the day Of Wilson's nomination.
In my opinion the fine vote accord
ed Governor Wilson in Governor Har-
mons home state more than ever en-
phasizes the fact that opportunity is
offered the democracy to win this year.
The splendid race made by Governor
Wilson in Ohio despite the fact that
he did not make speech there is re-
markable to say the least We have
got to nominate progressive at Balti-
more, and Governor Wilson is the pro-
gressive candidate in this pre-conven-
Ition contest.
Personally speaking | know that
Woodrow Wilson can carry Maine.
His high character, courageous hos
esty and independence, are admired
by our people. His nomination would
insure the party a fiye-thousand ma
iority against Roosevelt in Maine
would not hazard such an opinion with
any other democrat running. 1t will
be suicidal for the democrats to ignore
the opportunity presented to them in
this presidential contest.
we want to carry Maine this year.
and to do this we need the impetus
of a. winning national campaign Wood.
row Wilson's fight viii be such cam
paign
He is the only man in the country
who would have a fighting chance to
lcarry the state against Roosevelt"
