RAIL STRIKE IS CALLED OFF
BATTLE OVER MILLIONS OF INDIAN
CHIEF, RICHEST RED MAN IN u. S.
BY N. T. A. Service.

BY N. ia. Service. ...
Muskogee, Okla, Oct. 2S---Jackson
Barnett is the richest Indian in the
United States.
! That is why "a fight, which has
thrown the courts of two counties and
federal officials into a turmoil, is be-
ing staged.
At present the chief lives, almost
out in the open, in Okmulgee county.
i'He has no use for white mans fads
and fancies, but much prefers the
great outdoors.
His home is four-room shack
and he's satisfied with it.
All this in spite of the fact that mill
lions upon millions of dollars literally
rolled into him when great oil gushers
were discovered on his land some
years ago. No one seems to know
Just what he is worth; he, owns a mil
lion dollars worth Of Liberty Bonds
alone.
1t is all Indian theory that a mans
wealth should be disposed of before
he dies-after his relatives are pro-
perly cared for.
That's where the big fight comes in.
Barnett with the approval of offic-
ials has already given $1,000,00O to
Bacone University, a Northern Baptist
school at Muskogee, and quarter Of
a million for an institute for sick In
dians.
Following these gifts, it was an
nounced that Barnett and his family
we're to be removed from Okmulgee
county to the town Of Muskogee, in
Muskogee county. He was to have a
$75,000 residence to take the place OF
his backWOOds shack
And Okmulgee county let out al
howl
County Judge Hugh Murphy, of
Okmulgee, says he will not consent
to the removal .of Barnett's estate.
While the fight hangs, as yet unde.
cided, Barnett's guardian has petit
toned the county court in Okmulgee
county for permission to use 50,OO0
in building Barnett home in Okmul'
gee county and purchasing adjoining
land to establish pony ranch.
Barnett's white wife, with whom he
eloped some time ago, and his step
daughter, have tired of the open life. |
They are in favor of moving to Mus
kogee, in Muskogee county.

CLEAR WEATHER IN STATE MAY CAUSE
INCREASE IN EXPECTED RECALL VOTE
Prediction of G. Nelson for Total 100000 Votes or
Less Than Last Election-f Vote Governor Close
I.V. A. Hope to Carry Laws

900 votes would be cast Both lea
guers and Independents were appre-
hensive over the effect of this.
Polls opened at 9 A. M. and closed
at P. NJ. There was expected to be
much early voting in the cities. The
organizations in Bismarck seeking to
get uot he vote did not begin function
ing at full speed as quickly as the
polls opened, however.
Possibility of an undecisivc result
was seen il the vote is close. If Fra
zier should he elected by only a small
majority, Independents feel that many
or all Of their initiated measures
would carry. as they hoped for the
votes of many leaguers for them. The
exception was the two election laws,
one providing the abolition of Repub-
lican and Democratic parties in the
state election. Hundreds Of persons
opposed to the league also were OPP
posing these l. V A. measures, among
them. some newspapers that are sup
porting Nestos. l..
First returns from the election
should begin to come in toward 10
o'clock from some of the cities. The
press association formed to handle
the returns hoped to have the result
of the election definitely known by
Saturday noon. The newspapers form
ing the press association are: The
Bismarck Tribune, the Minot Daily
News, the Devils Lake Journal, the
Grand Forks Herald, the Fargo For
um, the Mandan Pioneer. Each has
been given certain territory to cover
and hope to get the result accurately
and as quickly as possible, without re-
gard to prejudice or politics.

men particularly holding lengthy
arguments before agreeing to cancel
lation of the strike order, the labor
chieftains said. In some of the groups
the ballot was described as "the clos
est in history on similar question"
AllJof the differences were ironed out
by the different unions, however, and
the final show down found all of them
casting their ballots for no strike.
l.. E. Sheppard, president of the Or
der of Railway Conductors, said that
the unions had decided to call off the
strike because Of "the growing public
opinion that the strike would be
against the labor board and conse-
quently the government, and not
against the railroads.
"It was evident also that the entire
| Washington administration was op.
posed to us and that we had little
chance of gaining our objective said
Mr.. Sheppard.

tain rights to which our men were
entitled" Mr.. Sheppard told the Asso-

HOSE IS KEPT
PLAYING UPON
RUINS OF FIRE
Two Streams Kept in Action All
During Night to Prevent
Spread of Fire

Water was poured on the ruins OF
the Northwest hotel building all night
by firemen. Two streams of water
were kept playing on the ruins.
With considerable debris yet to be
burned in the fire, it was feared that
if the fire should be allowed to burn
itself out sudden puff of wind
might send embers flying and en-
danger nearby buildings. Though
pretty we'll worn by their hard fight
OF yesterday morning, the firemen
were divided in shifts and kept on
the job.
1t appeared today to be unlikely that
the exact cause of the explosion or
the exact place of origin would be
determined. The ruin was so COM
plete that it was impossible to make
an investigation to ascertain if their
was big hole in the ground or
unusual damage wrought by the ex-
plosion which preceded the fire.

Clear weather was reported in near

election. Ideal weather was offered
in most cities to the voters and the
work of the organizations engaged in
getting out the vote for the election

Predictions as to the extent of the
vote today varied. The total vote in
the last election was 229,606, the ma
jority of Governor Frazier being A.

1. V. A., estimated that 100000 votes
would be cast or 10000 less than the
vote for governor year ago.
The question Of the extent voters
would avail themselves of their fran
