OLD RESIDENT
OF FORT GIBSON
p. Il. Nash Tells Experience in Navi-
eating Arkansas River--Made
Trip In 1858.

Fort Gibson, Okla. Aug. 12.-Fifty-
nine years ago. on August /, in 1858,
f. H. Nash boarded river steamboat
bound for Fort Gibson. There was
fair running TO Webbers Falls. but
here the boat stuck, being unable to
get over the falls on account Of low
water After waiting about two days,
Mr. Nash hired horse and proceeded
by land to Fort Gibson. which he
heached the same day, fording the
Arkansas river, just below where the
Frisco railroad and interurban car line
bridge is now located. 1t was a dry
time for about three months, and load
ed boats had hard time to navigate.
At that time this section of the
country was almost an unbroken wild
erness, with here and there settle
ment and small clearings with log
houses and primitive surroundings.
From the Arkansas river west, miles
beyond where the great city Of Mus
kogee is now located, was a vast un-
settled prairie. The bottom land on
the east side for miles was vast tim
bered cane-brake, even within a short
distance of the old fort. 1t was
strange sight to Mr. Nash, then less
| than 20 years Of age
| The young traveller had letter of
introduction to Col. Pitkin Morris.
commander of the fort, and soon Mr.
Nash was installed in position in
the suffers department, where he stay
ed until he married a Cherokee Indian
woman and went into business for
himself He has resided here continu-
ously, except for few months during
the war of the rebellion.
Mr.. Nash is the oldest merchant in
lthis section, and has done vast
Iamount of business, a good deal being
on the credit system, IN which he lost
much. He has helped meny poor and
unfortunate people in the past, for
which he received nothing, except
perhaps, higher reward. Indeed, IL
this man had all that is due him
which he sold on credit and promise
to pay he would have many thousands
of dollars today.
He has good health, good home, a
fine family and competency for the
future. The Nash block, the finest
building in town, is monument to
his enterprise, and at the age OF rs
years he is the most active and young
est appearing man for his age in this
section

Springfield, Mo-, Aug. 11.-Fireman
Charles Bryant was killed and nine
teen other persons were injured when

miles an hour The mail car express

Many passengers had narrow es-
capes from death. being hurled about
in the wrecked coaches in confusion.
Those who escaped injuries worked
heroically to free others who were
pinioned underneath or in their berths.
Fireman Bryant was unable to jump
and was scalded TO death when he
was buried under the wreckage Of the
two locomotives. Relief trains were
sent to the scene of the wreck from
Springfield and Monett to care for the
injured.
The cause of the wreck has not been
determined. General Manager Tyler
personally directed the work OF clear
ing the line, but 1t was not till this
afternoon that service was resumed.
This is the second serious wreck TO
occur on that division within week,
an done of a series of eight on various
lines of the road in the last month.
As a result all passenger trains are

big per cent of the school children of
Oklahoma, died suddenly Thursday
night Mr. Lister was offering prayer

BACK TO GUTHRIE
IS IT A JOKE?
One Thousand Farmers With Teams
And Wagons Engaged to Haul
Capital Back to Guthrie.

Guthrie, Okla, August 12.-The far
mers of the country surrounding Guth-
rie are now being engaged by the Wo-
mems Chamber of Commerce of this
city to haul the furniture, archives
and records of the various state de-
partments back to Guthrie, following
the regular election in November.
40 do the job, and to do it in one
day, it is estimated that it will take at
least one thousand regulation farm
wagons, two thousand horses and
mules, and two thousand men as driv-
ers and helpers.
When the first half of the distance
is covered, the men will be rested and
served with substantial meals, near
Edmond, by the Women's Chamber Of
Commerce.
In the evening banquet will be
served to the farmers at the Guthrie
city hall--the building where the Ok
lahoma state constitution was drafted
and enacted-by the Women's Cham
Der of Commerce. And to each horse
and mule that helps pull the capital
back, big ration of oats and alfalfa
hay will be given.
To have charge of this department
Of the Women's organization, COM
mittee has already been named by the
president, the chairman being Mrs. E.
H. Furrow, who first suggested this
plan to haul the capital back without
cost to the state. Assisting in this
work, too, are the wives of the farm
ers in the surrounding country. These
women are organized in district aux.
iliaries to the county farmers insti.
tute, and through these organizations
they are helping both in raising funds
and in making the plans.
Automobiles will also be provided
for the state officials and departmental
clerks and their families to make the
trip, arriving in Guthrie for the ban
quet at night. 1t is planned to have
the governor and his private secre
taries ride in the first automobile
carrying back the great seal Of the
state.
! The citizens of Guthrie have given
their word that all the quarters neces
sary for housing the state departments
will be ready for immediate occupancy
when the first wagons begin to arrive
on the pull from Oklahoma City, ant
the women have asked to have this
part of the work assigned to their or
ganization also. The city hall, the
county court house, and the temporary
capitol building built by Guthrie five
years ago and donated to the state
are to be in readiness to receive thei
former occupants.

SENATOR ELECTED
BY THE PEOPLE
Senator Owen And Judge Dickerson
Will Be Voted on at the No
vember Election.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 12.--It is held
by the republicans that in different
parts Of the state that bill initiated at
the recent primary providing for the
adoption Of the Oregon plan for elect
ing United States senators in Okla
-homa becomes effective at once and
that under its provisions Senator
Owens will have to defeat Judge Dick
erson, the republican nominee for
United States senator in the Novem-
Der election.
The World yesterday asked Attor-
ney General West for an opinion on
this point over the long distance tele-
phone but he declined to give an opin-
ion, stating as a reason that he( was
not supposed to render opinions ex-
cept on official request. Right at that
time the World had in its possession
an opinion which the attorney gen
eral had given to a private citizen on
the gas question which he is seeking
to dominate.
If the contention of republicans is
correct it will inject new impetus
into the fall election that was not ex-
pected. Regardless of what the attor-
ney general may hold in the matter if
the view many republicans have of the
situation is backed by lawyers to
whom the matter will be referred, is
upheld the direct election of senators
will become a fact in Oklahoma this
fall for the first time in the history o.
the nation.

the governor in getting over the stu
alton without the necessity of having
summary removals.
Governor Cruce says that he accept
ed the good offices of Ledbetter and
several months ago sent for him and
said he thought the time had arrived
to act. He had delayed the matter in
order that the passion of the people
might abate, he says, and until a time
when there would be as little turmoil
in the schools as possible. The COVER
nor says that he told Ledbetter that
he was convinced that change in the
board was necessary for the welfare of
the school system, but that he had de-
termined to allow Dunlop to remain
ON the board. The governor says he
did not intimate to Ledbetter that
nothing had been found against Dun
lop in the investigation.

When the government sends out Or

children should not be encouraged,
nor even permitted to take part in the

LATEST RETURNS
GIVE OWEN LEA0
OF 100000 VOTES
Final Majority of Senator May Yet
Pass the 10000 Mark-seven
Counties Missing.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 12.-lf the ma
jority of United States senator Robert
L. owen over his opponent, former
Governor Charles N. Haskell, con-
tinues to climb in the eight counties
vet to be heard from in the manner
it moved up Saturday, 1t will exceed
10000 votes when the complete count
is made for the senator now is leading
by 1851 votes. Present indications
are that Haskell will carry six or seven
counties in the election.
The vote, incomplete from all ex-
cept a few of 68 counties gives Owen
1888 votes to 1892 for Haskell.
The counties in which Haskell has
majority over Owen are Ellis, 20 votes;
Love, % votes; Major, "a votes; Sc
quoyah, 2S8 votes; and Wagner, l6S
votes. Haskell also carried Cherokee
county by 305 votes. Returns yet are
to be received from Beaver, Delaware,
Dewey, Harmon, Harper, Mayes, OK
mulgee and Texas counties and OF
these, it appears probable that Haskell
will carry only Mayes and Texas. It
Is possible that he will get Dewey and
Beaver which would give him nine
counties at most.
The full returns from Bryan county
came in Saturday and they make PLAIN
why Bill Durant came very near be-
ing the choice of the democratic vot-
ers down there to stay at home instead
of oreturn to the legislatuer and run
for speaker. The Haskell lieutenant
received coo more votes than the man
he supported for United States sena-
tor. The final count showed 2,O56
votes for owen and 1,456 for Haskell.
Wagner for Haskell.
Wagner county showed up for the
first time Saturday and Owen carried
the city of Wagner by 81 votes, but
lost the county to Haskell by 16S votes.
Adair came in and showed a mapority
Of 200 for Owen and Delaware is ex-
uected to show like count. Pawnee
and Noble gave Owen 200 majorities,
and Usage made it 400. Okfuskee, be-
lieved two weeks ago to be a Haskell
stronghold, went for Owen and regis
tered in favor Of retaining the present
senator by 4S0 votes.
In the race for congressman-at-largei
with incomplete returns from 81 coun
ties. Bill Murray now has 30,016 votes
When "a had been heard from in the
senatorial race, Haskell was below the
10000 mark and the wise ones are
predicting that Murray will be given
a larger vote in the end than was the
former governor. He is 5000 votes
and 13 counties behind.
All the leaders in this race advanc
ed Saturday, Thompson now having
vote Of 25,106, Weaver 23,071, Ross
1889, and Franklin 15,422. Bransor
dropped to sixth place in the race witt
18Th, Robertson has 1872, Echol'
