ROBBER CONFESSES.
Ben Burns Tells of His Work with

Sheriff Tilghman, of Chandler, left
(tuthrie Saturday for home with his
prisoner, Ben Burns, who will be held
to await trial for complicity in the at-
tempt to roll the bank at Stroud.
Hums is a confessed accomplice of
Ben ('ravens and his gang in the re-

and Stroud. The arrest was accom-
plished through Sheriff Tilghman, who
The reports from Kl Reno says that
" >s apparent that all applicants for
lands cannot get it, the people are
turning their attention to town lots.
Heretofore not very much attention
bf,,'n K'v«n to that subject. Of
course thousands of people intend to
have town lots at I.awton, Hobart and
Anadarko, but they have not been
sweating about it. for the reason that
...no ''le ''mc bas not yet arrived for ac-
hard- I tio" and the .further fact that nobody
j yet knows any thing about the lots in
• the towns mentioned.
Judge Vandevantcr, assistant attor-
| ney emmil for the interior depart-
j ment, is preparing supplemental rules
and regulations relating to the dispo.
| sition of lots ia the towns of Anadarko,
Hobart and I.awton, which will be
made public in a few days.
The rules will prescribe the manntr
of I he sale of the lots, the number that
can be purchased by any individual,
and the order in which the sales occur.
A line legal problem ha> been present-
ed in connection with the interpreta-
| tion of the provision of the act of
March 3, 1001, limiting the number of
! lots which can be purchased by any
| individual.
I The law provides thai "no person
shall purchase more than one business
or residence lot." It is not clear
whether this refers to a single town,
or to all the towns. It is contended
by many mat the provision will permit

held her handkerchief inside I he strap
while going to the Iheatera short time
ago, Sifys the Sun. On her way home
she was again pelted to stand, and
once more the handkerchief came be-
tween her glove and the leather.
Whether it was after that or during
the evening at the theater that she
once thoughtlessly put the handker-
chief to her face is a detail *hat she
does not recall, but two days after-
ward a pain on her lip became so intol-
erable t h:<t she was compelled to see
a doctor, who found her suffering from
incipient blood poisoning w hich it was
already too late for him to prevent.
The most that he could do was to
watch her carefully through a longat-
tack of illness which at one time
threatened to end fatally.
He attributed this to some poison-
ous substance which had passed toher
handkerchief from the strap, and that
was his diagnosis the moment he heard
, the story of ihe ride on the cable car.
| She fortunately recovered, and her
physicians think that the present dis-
figurement to her face which resulted
from the necessity of an operation will
not be permanent. The case has con-
vinced this physician, who is a man of
considerable experience in surgery of
the dangers that lurk in the street car

who. some months previous to an ac-

slowly recovering the use of his arm

the track, with scalp wounds. There
was n depressed fracture of the
skull three inches above and one inch
behind the left car. lie was inline-
diatelv trephined and the depressed
bone removed.
At ten o clock at night he began to
whistle, not, however, the "popular
songs of the day," but the whistle
calls he was accustomed to use in
calling or driving his flocks. He
would continue whistling for about
one minute, then would cease for five
or ten minutes, and kept this up at
regular intervals until lie died, .Ian-
