tended the meeting petitioned the
territorial board to help us out by rais-
ing the valuation of the counties.
It has helped us in this county al-
ready, so there will be no question
raised as to the probability of our ever
having exceeded the 4 per cent limit.
By bonding 840,000 into long time
bonds and cleaning up all legal war-
rants to nearly the 4 per cent valua-
tion under the law of preceding assess-
ment the treasurer can now apply all
back taxes upon the payment of the
remaining old warrants and any not
so paid can be bonded into long time
bonds after next assessment under the
proceeding that would be this year's
valuation, and the 45 per cent raise
will make all old warrants good.

be low or high, his taxes will be the

The levy of this county has hereto-

commissioners, and a good one, was
that by increasing the valuation many
of the counties could bond up their old

people of this city have entered into a
contract with the company wherein
North Enid is to be a division point,

Wednesday Judge Parker passed the
sentence of death upon John Brown,
Alexander Allen and Ed Wilkie.
Brown and Wilkie are white men.
Allen is a negro.
A. C. Traveler: "The picture of the
Denver 'Messiah' published in the St.

semblance to John Furlong, the Okla-

subsoil ing.
Mulhall is doing a great deal of good-
natured jollying over the fact that
some hogs were marketed there last
week from the vicinity of Crescent
City, and from a point nearer Guthrie
than Mulhall. We are glad to see that
we haven't all the commercial enter-
prise here. Go it, Mullhall.
This is a good time of year for farm-
ers to build a dam to hold a pond of
water for stock. The work necessary
to dig a well, expended on a dam, will
make a pond which will furnish water
for all the stock, with no labor to
draw or carry it to them.
The Crescent City mail carrier was
held up and robbed by two masked
men yesterday afternoon in the sand
hills north of the Cimarron, three
miles out of Guthrie. The men step-
ped from the woods and with leveled
revolvers compelled the carrier to dis-
mount. After robbing him of $3 they
took out the mail sack and broke it
open but did not secure anything.
Edmond Sun-Democrat: One thing
can be said of Guthrie that would be
well for every town in the territory to
emulate. The people of Guthrie are
for Guthrie twenty-four hours in a
day, seven days in a week, fifty-two
weeks in a year. The result is, when
the citizens of Guthrie undertake any-
thing they succeed. The fair held
there last week, the success of which
depended solely on the co operation of
the citizens of that town, is an illus-
tration of what patriotism "or lvme
will do.
El Reno Eagle: There is alluvial
gold in Oklahoma and the Indian ter-
ritory, but it is not in the sand along
the creek bank, nor in the stiff hard-
pan of the high prairie. It is to be
found in the rich dirt that covers the
millions of acres of the two territories.
Work is required to obtain it, but in-
dustry rarely fails to turn up millio. s
of yellow nuggets that require no mill
stamp to make them marketable. The
one condition is patient industry, but
less hard work is required than to get
| gold out of the black sand of the river
beds.
Sherman Journal: The Texas and
Pacific railway company has just put
a party of surveyors into the held, who
are at present running a preliminary
line in the Indian territory to the coal
'fields. The road being built to Dcni-
son from the main trunk line will be
| completed in November. The Texa.
and Pacific going to the coal field is re-
garded as the most important move
I that that road has ever made. It has
| been wholly at the mercy, of the Mis-
I souri, Kansas & Texas for its coal sup-
ply. Sherman will probably be divis-
ion headquarters for the new line.
I Oklahoman: W. J. Wood, who was
sent to Lansing for killing W. H.
j Shuck, at the Planters hotel on Reno
' avenue in 1890, returned home yester-
I day, having served his five year term,
' with the one year deducted for good
1 behavior. He was met at the depot by
j one of his old time friends and escorted
! to his home, Adhere a joyful meeting
| took place between him and his vyife
and cliild. He still owns the Planters
house and other property in this city
and expects to remain permanently in
the city. The deed for which he sul
fered punishment was committed in
the heat of passion, and Mr. Wood
i will be given encouragement by our
citizens in his efforts to begin a new
| life.
Taloga Advocate: Yellow Bonnet,
a Cheyenne I ndian of some note, lining
I on his allotment near this city, has
j appled for a blanket divorce from four
wives. Yellow bonnet gives as his
reasons for such a sweeping divorce
i that he has embraced the christian ri
ligion and his wives have refused to
: become christians. He asks for custo-
dy of but one of nineteen children. It
was at first thought that it was not
j necessary to ask for a divorce, as the
| laws of oklahoma forbid poligamy. A
few lawyers held that as he was mar*
! ried to four wives under the tribal
laws, recognized partly by the govern-
ment and before the laws of Oklahoma
! existed, he could not get separated
j except by -process of the laws now
i prevailing. This opinion finally pre-
! vailed. There is some question wheth-
er the four divorces can be made in
one, but that is a question the court
must pass on. The wives will only
consent to a blanket divorce, for they
; are afraid to allow the cases to be
! taken up separately for fear Bonnet.

GUTHRIE'S PROPOSITION.
The «ireat Corbett-Fit/.*liuneuia Fight to
Com«* Here dure.
A special to the Kansas City Star
says. George W. Taylor, chief of the
tire department of Guthrie, Ok., called
on Secretary Wheelock, of the Florida
Athletic club, yesterday and submitted
the following proposition:
Citizens of Guthrie will deposit S15,-
000 cash to guarantee that there will
be no interference with the Florida
Atnletic club or its matches. They
will move the amphitheater from Dal-
las free of cost and erect it on the site
at Guthrie without expense to the
Florida Athletic club, the dates for tho
glove contests to be optional with the
Florida Athletic club.
Secretary Wheelock wired the propo-
sition to President Dan A. Stuart at
Hot Springs for submission to the
parties interested. Mr. Taylor showed
your correspondent documents from
the board of directors of the Oklahoma
state fair, and letters from bankers,
merchants and professional men back-
ing up this proposition. In fact, he is
loaded down with papers representing
"money that talks."
