Accident At Ball Game.
An accident occured at Lindsay
last Thursday afternoon that came very
near causing the death of seveial per-
sons. A large crowd from Lindsay,
Pauls Valley and other points had
gathered to witness a game of ball be-
tween the teams of this place and
Lindsay. The grand stand, a tempo-
rary structure thrown up without re-
gard to safety, suddenly gave way just
before the game was called. Under
the structure at the time was a large
crowd of men, women and children,
and nearly all were caught by the fall-
ing timbers. There were many slight-
ly bruised and sprained and one man,

There are about 16,000 Choctaws and
7,000 Chickasaws, and one-half of all
these lands are non-taxable and inal-
ienable for twenty-one years. This,
of course, applies to the solemn prom-
ise made us by congress and ratified
by the citizens of these nations.
Whether or not the congress will at-

say. It is within their province to do
about as they please with us, but I
still have faith in this great govern-
ment. I am a member of the tribe

Primary Convention.
By request of the secretary of the
ments for twenty-one years, and as Single Statehood Executive Com-
one-half of all lands in the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations is homestead, I
fail to see how the new state can hope
to get sufficient money with which to
run the government. Furthermore, it
is estimated that 7 2 per cent of all
allotted lands in these nations belongs
to minors, which is inalienable during
their minority, hence they cannot be
taxed, either on homestead or surplus.
"It appears to me that ardent ad-
vocates of statehood should take this
all important question in hand and
mittee, I hereby call a mass conven-
tion of the voters of this recording dis-
trict of the Indian Territory to meet at
the court room at Pauls Valley at 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon, July 8,
1905, to elect 18 delegates and a like
number of alternates to the Statehood
Convention to be held in Oklahoma
City, July 12, 1905. This convention
will be composed of 1,000 delegates
and as many alternates. Senator Bailey
of Texas, Senator Beveridge of Indiana,

Capital Stock 50,000 Surplus and Profits, 73.000
The First National Bank of Pauls Valley solicits
accounts large and small and with its Capital stock
of $50,000, and surplus funds of $73,000, offers
to the public every facility consistent with safe and
prudent banking (£§3)
Gen. John W. Noble of St. Louis and
Congressmen Murdock and Calderhead
of Kansas, will be among the noted
statesmen present to address the con-
vention. This will be the greatest
Statehood convention ever held and
this district should be well represented.
To that end I urge a large attendance
on the primary convention. All rail-
roads will make a rate of one fare plus
fifty cents for the round trip to the
Oklahoma City Convention, good from
July 11 to 14, inclusive.

Promotion For a Pauls Valley
Boy.
Ardmore, I. T., July 4—W. E.
Ward, duputy United States cferk at
Tishomingo, has risigned and R. C.
Fleming, of Pauls Valley was appointed
today to succeed him. Ward was
formerly the treasurer of the Chickasaw
Nation, and was one of the men re-
cently indicted for conspiracy to de-
fraud.
Electric Line Assured.
Davis, I. T., July 3—The electric
line from Oklahoma City to Sul-
phur is practically assured and Pauls
Valley, Wynnewood and Davis will
probably take $20,000 each of the
capital stock. The enterprise meets
with universal favor in each of the
Washity Valley towns, and Davis will
assist in every way possible to secure
the road. Sulphur is doing all it can
to raise the necessary amount and the
other towns along the proposed route
will be found ready to help. The
proposition seems to be a success, and
the work of grading will be commenced
at an early date.
A large delegation of Davis busi-
ness men met with the leading men of
Pauls Valley last Friday night with a
view to secure the electric line, if
possible, without further delay. The
people of Pauls Valley have agreed to
work in harmony with Davis and it is
. believed that Wynnewood and Sulphur
j will co-operate.
i Mayor Dan Kendall of Sulphur says
, that the line from Sulphur to Davis
j will be a great blessing fof both towns
and if completed to Oklahoma City
! via Wynnewood and Pauls Valley it
will be a great financial success. The
| people of Sulphur are willing to help
t Davis to secure the line at once.
