A wild blanketed Indian fiom tlic west
created no latle curiosity and consiiloi-
able amusement Mondiy afternnoon dur-
ing the win by his Indian songs yand
speeches. He was probably thankinglgfo
great spirit for lotting the water coinc
dovn li di in Tonmul
Such -iictlfc ' tfatikl oscur out here
every diy if It would only rain. The
Indians have hern ".-inyiug" for over two
uoiztkj for u l.ih '...!. to cvme down
" President Cleveland was married at -Alio
Whito House to MUs Folson on tho 3ni!
inst. Even a President wants a partner
to bear with him the joys and foara'of
this life.
The President has approved the bill
authorizing the Kansas & Arkansas Valley
railway company to build a line f of
road through the Territory from Arkan-
sas City to Fort Smith.
Grading on tho southern Kansas rail-
road from Kiowa has been completed
nearly as far as Fort Supply. The grade
for the Santa Fe extension from Arkanuac
City lias been completed as far south ac
Ponca Agency. The latter road will pass
about fifty miles east of here.

The old Fort Dodge military roscrvar
tion which was abandoned In 18S2 com-
prising upwards of 12000 acres of land
has been settled upon and in twenty-four
hours from the time the settlers began
moving in every quarter section was tak-
en and a house erected thereon. It wao
quick work.
Probably no people in the country
wore more delighted at the showers' of
ram of the past week than these Indians
although they received a small share
when the heavy rainfall in the surround-
ing country is considered. The-rain
came just in time to avert the failure f of
a corn crop.
Through the kindness of afriond-ve
have been shown a letter from a promi-
nont gentleman in Washington who is a
close friend of Secretary Lamar speaking
of Oklahoma he says : "I do not think
any bill will pass congress this session
opening Oklahoma to settlement or divid-
ing lands in severalty.' One thing is cer-
tain and that is that no bill can escape a
veto that violates treaty stipulations-or
constitutional guarantees."
A dispatch from 231 Paso Texas bearing
date of the 5th inst. says : uThc troops
stationed at Fort Bliss have received' or-
ders from Gon'l Miles to immediately
move to a point in Arizona to aid in the
prosecution of the war against the
Apaches. The troops are being lightly
supplied for a long march but large
.amounts of amunition provisions and
medicines arc being moved in the same
direction to be used if necessary."
One of the most important stock saics
for some time was the purchase of the!T5
ranch on tho ChorokecStrip by E. Torrey
& Son. Tho herd numbers several thous-.
and head and the price paid has not been
made public. The ranch was owned by
the Texas Land & Cattle Co. and the sale
to the Torieys consists of thr ranches
range and entire stock. Win. voiioe will
have charge of the outfit for the Torreys.
For several years a high mound south
of tho Ohio live stock ranch has attract-
ed visitors to examine what they suppos-
ed to bo an old mine judging from tho
great amount of stone thrown up on the
edge of tho hill. A number of prospect-
ors have visited the place and examined
sunken holes but no trace of metal could
be found and the general Impression was
that it was an abandoned mine of a cen-
tury ago. Our informant being more
eager than any of the rest Baaue inquiry
of the ol'd Kaw Indian chiefs. These stat-
ed that about twenty years ago the O.-ages
came down the Arkansas river to hunt
buffalo where they cncotintei'CL theChey-
ennes. A light ensued whbh resulted in
the CheyeuuoH getting the- best of the
0ages and inking all of their ponies.
Tho OtugQAfU'd to the hill and threw up
breast works of stone and held their posi-
tion until the Chryenncs left when they
followed them and taking them by sur-
prib' reeovurd their ponies and iHftcl
