professor Honnold is at his

K with him, but we do believe he
is not quite so cross.
Miss Stella Agee was absent
from the eighth grade WedneS'
day.
Arthur Booker, who was com-
~ pelled to miss school for a time
before vacation, was able to take
his place Wednesday.

ill Monday evening and had tj

large crowd. A splendid time is
reported.

G. D. Latham and family, re-

manche country.
Miss Jessie Hames*, who has
been visiting with her sister, Mrs.
Otra Upp, in Salt Lake City, Utah,
hat returned home.
Honnold and Miss Wallace and their
reception in that city at the home ol
the parents of tfie groom, says:
The groom is a young man of
sterling worth. He is a graduste of
the city high school, of St. John's
Lutheran aud also the M. E. college.
At present he is superintendent of
the city schools at Lexington, Okla.
The bride is one of Norman's fairest
daughters and a lady possessed of
culture and refinement. She is a
graduate iu music aud very active in
church work. We bespeak for the
youug folks a happy wedded life.
A reception was tendered thein
last night at the home of Mr. aud
Mrs. W. B. Honold, the groom's par-
ents. About thirty intimate friends
were present aud a mest enjoyable
lime was had. The rooms were
beautifully decorated for the occa-
sion with palms, holly and mistletoe.
Elegant refreshments were served,
Jiusic was rendered aud all lefi
wishiug the young people a life of
unalloyed happiness.
Boers Still Willing.
Loudon, Dec. 31—The Boers have
practically repeated the Nooitgedacht
victory within two weeks. Ou ac-
count of the British disaster at Hel-
vetia, Sunday, is confined to a brief
dispatch from Lord Kitchener. The
Boers captured two hundred men and
killed aud wounded fifiy. After the
attack the Boers withdrew from the
place, presumably taking all the am
munition aud provisions. It is also
feared several British guus weracap-
tured. Another dispatch from Kitch-
ener says the British losses at Helve
tia were four officers wounded and
eleven men killed; twenty-two wound-
ed. One gun and a detachment o(
men were captured.
The moruiug Leader says thirty
per cent'of the 210,000 British boI
diers in South Africa are ill aud un
able to take the field. The remain
der, the paper says, are assailed a
all points by the Boers.

Austin Schumate left Thursday for a
week's hunt in the Kiowa aud Co
manche country and expect to con e
home loaded down with game.
Mils Lula Britt, of Norman, his
been visiting with Miss Nora Pan-
tier this week.
It ia a pity the United States sen-
ate can not appropriate #33U,000 to
the use of tho Dawes commi-siou
without asking the important ques
tion, "What have you done with the
last appropriation?" The commis-
■ion is composed of Republicans
who can do no wrong, aud the money
belongs to the people, who are only
fit to vote the republican ticket nnd
pay taxes.—K. C Times.
As a Matter to be Expected.
Washington, Jan. 1.—Acting
Chairman Tams Bixby, of the Dawes
commission, does Lot take seriousl)
the talk of early statehood for the
Indian Territory. "You people here
in Washington," he declared, to-day,
"know how how impossible it would
Ue to get a statehood bill through
c mgress at the short session. Thin
Indian Territory, with or without
Oklahoma, is not fit for statehood
yet. There is no taxable property
in the territory. The Choctaw and
Chickasaw governments have six
years yet to run and the land in the
territory is still owned iu common.
The meeting a South McAlester the
other day in ttie interest of state-
hood was not a representative onr.
There was barely a haudful of peo
pie present. The only government
that would be practicable for the In
dian Territory st present is some
such government as Alaska has."
Ejected from the Territory.
Ardmore, I. T., Dec. 31 —Acting
"'der orders fiom Indian Agent
Shoenfelt, Jack Ellis, Chiefof ludian
Police, removed J. M. Ozment from
the limits of the territory for refus-
ing to comply with the permit law
and regulations of the Choctaw N'a-
tiou. Ozment resides at Talihiua.
He was taken to Fort Smith, Ark.,
and released.
t apt. Ellis said to The News cor-
respondent today that it is against
the law to bold over ten head of cat-
tle iu the Choctaw Nation. The ex-
tent of law is to protect the grazing
lands for the benefit of the tribe.
Santa Ke Changing I(m Line.
Paoli, Dec. 30.—A corps of en-
gineers of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe railroad, who had head-
quarters here for some time, moved
to Purcell. This corps is re locating
the line to lessen the grades, avoid

KILLED WITH A NECKYOKK.
Lewis Scott Killed by J. \v. Moore in
the Presence of the Latter's
Wife.—A Quarrel.
On Wednesday, Dec. 2(lih, ou the
Rube Smith place, 7 miles southwest
of Norman, iu the Chickasaw nation,
Lewis Scott was struck on the head
by J. W. Moore with a neck yoke,
aud so seriously injured that he died
in a few hours. The neckyoke cut a
long and deep gash on the right side
of his head, from which he bled fo
profusely that when Lr. Capshaw ar-
rived at the farm the unfortunate man
was so weak from the loss of blood
that nothing could be done for him.
He died Wednesday evening.
Moore, who resides in Norman and
works at the oil mill, was arrested at
his home VY eduesday night by Mar-
shal Hill «nd Chief Mays. He made
no resistance. He claims he acted
in self defense; that Scott was tom-
ing at him with a tea kettle wh. n he
hit him with the yoke. He will be
taken to Purcell for trial.
It seems that Moore had gone to
Scott's house on some business and
found Scott under the influence of
liquor. In their talk a dispute arose
treacherous banks of the Canadian
River. The prospective change will
