Some OF the Battles.
A number OF battles were fought
near Tulsa during the Civil war. but
none OF them receives more than
passing notice In war histories The
first series OF battles OF moment In
the Tulsa region occurred on Bird
creek. seven or eight miles south Of
the present city The final struggle
took place on Christmas day, 1861.
A chief OF the Creek Indians. who
took sides with the north. was forth
fled on Bird creek with a compare
lively large force. The COnfederates
under Waite and others undertook to
dislodgo him. The battle here was
the most bloody engagement OF the
civil war In the Indian Territory.
The Creeks were fortified In gulch
that gradually assembled to the noun
tains. 1t was a formidable position
OF defense, but the Confederates as
sailed with fury rarely witnessed
In battle. The conflict lasted nearly
all day. but toward nightfall the
Creeks abandoned their fortified po-
sltion and fled to the mountains,
leaving 800 OF their men dead and
largo number wounded. Next day,
the redoubtable Stand Waite fol-
lowed them and slew fifteen more
before they reached their hiding
places, Colonel James Mcintosh and
General Waite commanded the Con-
federates In this battle.
The Confederate victory at Bird
creek WAS dearly bought. Something
less than a hundred men were killed
and a larger number wounded. The
ylctors retired to Fort Gibson to give

Briefly stated, the war incidents
and actions OF the Tulsa community
revolve around two GENITAL figures OF
the Cherokee nation. John Ross

figures In the great conflict. John

He was 70 sore he could not bear to press on himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He weighed i65 lbs, and fell off until he weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
 He became constipated and it looked like he would die. We had three different doctors, yet with all their medicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up [ ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink t two or three days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered so. He was swol- len terribly.

CONTROL OF OK MARBLES.

R. w. Wells, expert on animal par asites, who recently spent six months in Arizona holding demonstration meetings with stockmen, and was here in the interest of the Bureau of En- tomology, of the U. s. Department of Agriculture, has been cooperating with the Agricultural Extension Ser vice of the University of Tucson, makes the following suggestion in regard to white grubs:
 "The white grubs soon to be found in the backs of your cattle should be squeezed out. If permitted to come out by themselves they drop to the ground and transform in about three weeks to the adult fly. The adult fly is the one which causes cattle to twist their tails and make for the brush or for mudhple. The fly does not feed and it does not sting. It lives only four or five days, just long enough to lay it's eggs for the new generation. The fly tries to lay eggs on the hair around the feet, usually not far from the hoof. The eggs are stuck in a row on the hair. They hatch in about four days and the young maggots burrow through the skin around the feet and, beneath the skin, make their way to the body of the animal.
 "These grubs injure cattle in sew eral ways. They reduce the milk flow of dairy stock; they reduce the price of the hide of beef several cents pound, and cause "jelly beef" along the back. The adult fly causes the cattle to crowd into mudholes where they often become mired down.
 Every grub squeezed out is a flv killed. If the dairy herd is gone over twice week, practically every one of the grubs may be caught"

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY STOCKYARDS, Oct. 17.-Cattle finished last week 25 to 50 cents lower for the week, except cows, which sold somewhat stronger; receipts today 35,000 head, market slow and weak, cows 10 to 25 lower, no prime steers offered. Hogs closed last week $1.00 lower, market steady to 10 lower today, top $18.05, receipts 12,000. Fat sheep and lambs held up about steady last week, though there was a small loss Thursday and Fri day, market steady to 10 lower today, best Western lambs worth around $15.25.
 Run of Beef Cattle Heavy.
 Cattle runs have been exceptionally heavy for the last six weeks, and while the outlet is enormous, the sit uation has developed considerable weakness, and last weeks prices were lowest of the season, except on cows and canners. The uncertain war out look is a disturbing factor and works toward weakness. A few lots of prime steers arrive from time to time, and sell around $500, but other fed steers make up the most of the sup ply of good cattle, and these sell at $15 to $16.75. Grass steers bring $9.50 to $14.50 including Colorado and Oregon beef steers recently up to $14, grass cows sell at $7.50 to $10, canners $6 to $6.75, veals $9 to $l2.- 50.
 Stockers and Feeders Lower.
 Packers are not competing as much for feeders as heretofore, and coun- try grades accumulated last week with closing prices 35 to 75 cents un- der the close of the previous week. lower tendency, stock steers $7 to $11.50, feeders $9.50 to S14, stock cows and heifers $6.40 to $8.75.
 Hogs Steady.
 Declining markets have the effect of drawing in liberal supplies, run last week 72,600, 5000 more than in the previous week, and 34,000 more than in the same week last year. An outside order buyer paid $18.05 for two loads of medium weight hogs and packers paid up to $500 for choice heavy weights. Top lights $17.75, bulk of sales $17.25 to $1S.75. Stock pigs closed last week S1.50 to $2.00 lower with fairly liberal offerings, and sales today are slightly stronger, $13.50 to $16.00.
 Sheep and Lambs Weak.
 Sales were weak to lower today, due to extra heavy runs at Omaha and Chicago, best western lambs worth around $15.25, natives $13.50 to $14.75. Fat sheep are holding steady at SS.25 to $9.50. Feeding lambs are plentiful and outlet is good at prevailing prices, S12.75 to $13.50 for desirable western feeding lambs. Feeding ewes bring S6 to s7.50, west ern breeders $8 to $14.

HIGHLY DEVELOPED CATTLE
 RANCH.
Cihecue. Ariz.. Oct. 8. 1918.

Cibecue, ArlZ., Oct. $, l9l6. Coconino Sun:
 My Dear Col.:-You printed an ar ticle from the Holbrook Tribune which is erroneous and misleading and is with it's numbers and claimed asser- tions very misleading.
 It is true the Apache Ranch is highly improved, fenced and cross fenced, due to cooperation of the agent, MT. Davis, and in an effort to follow out recent suggestions of Mir. Cato Sells, and it is further true even in this drouth there is abundant feed and water.
 The restricted or intensive pasture grazing methods we have deve.o>ed and followed on this fenced outfit have shown us such methods give larger calf crop and percentages than most Arizona COW men figure possible, to have. Repeated govern ment counts have in these fenced pas lures established numbers. and tallies. The Apache Ranch is small outfit with large calf crop and it is in tended to show in a practical appli- cation on this ranch the principle of complete fencing, bull segregation, di- vision of summer and winter range, water development and, how it pays in cattle quality and increase. This ranch has been culling out stock and our final experiments are about to be completed, and employed MT. Ed Hennessey, a good and efficient COW man to help us complete further steps towards objects desired.
 Yours very truly,

PIGS OR PRUsSIANS.

The demand for pork products bv the army and civilian population of Europe is tremendous. About 2O0,- 100000 pounds of pork products are used each month while the demand for beef products only, aggregate about 60,000,00e pounds each month. Thus may be seen the fact that hog products are needed in three times as great amount as the cattle products.
 The pig is the most popular meat making agency in America--becanse first, it is an economical flesh produc- CT; second, it utilizes vast quantities of refuse materials and bv-products; {; third, it maintains and increases fer tilitv of land: fourth. it requires small capital; fifth. it natures quick lv and is marketed easily. A hog is always ready for market when gain ing flesh. The pig is the mortgage lifter."
 American farmers have genius for pig production. They produce for big production. They produce one-third of the worlds supply. One hundred and fifty hogs for each 100 inhabitants. But that is not enough. Our boys over there must be fed. We must have meat, fat, since it sup plies heat and energy to men in ac- tion. Patriotism demands we must meet this crisis, and, at the same time add to the support of ourselves and our dependents from the profit. Parker Post.

GETS PRIZE RATHER.

James H. Beauchamp killed the big gest rattler that has been seen in this part of the country, last Saturday. The snake measured 51-2 feet in length and three inches through the widest part of the body. It had nine rattles and button. The snake was killed near Cerbat point, on the high way leading to Kingman. This place has been noted for the number and great size of rattlers for years. Hun dreds of big fellows have been killed there and it is probable that the rocky buttes nearby are breeding grounds for the reptiles.-Kingman Miner.
