Wednesday evening about dusk he

"I wlnh 1 had fhown myself under a

He left Warwick Just about the rlffht
time to have been killed by the east
bound meti*or which arrivers here at

When a Warwick he seemed to be
under the Influence of liquor and when
found, a bottle with some alcohol left
In It wan found In his pocket.
It Is supposed that he fell anleep on
the traek and wa« killed, though IjIm
death may have been the result of
UirowlriK himself under the wheels.
A letter from the section boss at El

Judge, If you don't own the saloon
that settles It and I will have to dls-
mlss the r a--. then the J. be-
thought himself and r ow ■ ided Mr
Jensen had better be sworn and he
was. "1>j you own the choctaw
saloon?" No sir, I .v>ld It April £th
to Peter Handstrarn for $&00 "•), he
paid me $2*f*f,00 down and o*< - me
the balance. 1 own the building The
merciful Judge expressed a thought
that surely Mr. Jensen's word was
W*?! and he would not make a sta'e
rnent unless It was true, but Mr Jen-
sen was fortified with papers to prove
his assertion, said papers purporting
to have been written April K'h or
thereabouts and then the Judge very
cheerfully dismissed th<- case and
Chief McCartney asked for a war-
rant again st Sand strain which was
forth coming and officer Jackson was
sent after him. Kandstram appear-
ed— and his appearance would Indi-
cate his adaptability to the roll he
was evidently playing. He was
sworn. Yen I own the saloon, I have
been there three weeks, and his eyes
batted and his nerves twitched and
he looked tired. Yes there was a row
down there Hun day, I couldn't help
It, Mr. Jensen was away and I could-
n't controle them fellers. Then the
city attorney asked. Jtld you not
know that there was minors In your
saloon Hunday; objected to by the
Judge who said that Mr. Handstram
Is not on trial for selling to minors.
I know that said the attorney but I
thought a little warning might do him
good. Then the Judge looked wise
and said. "Mr. Kandstram In as
much as this Is your first offense and
you tried to keep the crowd quiet I
will make your fine as light as |>ossi-
bio $10.00," and then the curtain fell
upon the second scene of a genuine
farce comedy.
According to Jensen's 'own evi-
dence he has $ ;oo oo more Interest
in that saloon than Saridstrain, he
owns the building or the Bchlltz brew-
ing company does, one or the other
and Jensen is agent. He owns the
building adjoining when* a notorious
negro woman runs a lodging house
wh4ch Is the harbor of every low
character white or black that comes
along. The place has been for the
past year at least, more bother to the
police than all others In the rlty and
the people will stand by McCartney
and his force in abating the whole
Job lot of nuisance* thereabouts.

The Good Indian.
Next Monday there will be great
rejoicing over at the Darlington In-
d an agency, especially among the In-
dians, their little "paps" and the num-
erouH attaches by marriage and other-
wi*e.
There are about thirteen hundred
and fifty government beneficiaries
there and they will draw from 18.50
to I200.00 each and these amounts
represent annuities and lease money,
that is, the amount the Indian gets
as a donation and a* the price of rent
of land.
It is a Jolly time these pay days at
a government agency and for a brief
j time thereafter money is plenty there-
abouts and one would imagine that it
grew on bushes along the Canadian.
The Indian always Jives high while
the money lasts, but somehow, it don't
last long and then the old conditions
come and a panic is in full controle
of the situation. The money goes to
every kith and kin, kid and kidlett,
therefore some families nave "heap
money," to buy funny things and it
is amusing to see the stolid buck
maneauver with a slick white man to
get a bottle of firewater which they
succeed In doing despite the rigid law
against it and any Indian full of
white man's booze is a peculiarity,
not. unlike his befuddled white brother
who gets tangled up with the serpents
or the HI III.

a CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
LITTLE LOG CABIN
A Novelty Built of Binding Twine in
the Great Tinklepaugh-Kimmell
Building,
Kvery body 1h admiring a miniature
house built of balls of binder twine
on the Hint floor of the TinklopaiiBh-
Klmmi'll block jtiBt norfli of tho Demo-
crat office.
Tho structure resembles a back
woods cabin built of logs with an el-
aliorat porch In front where tho
pioneer woodsman of old sat and
sat ami smoked Ills pipe at evening-
tide and where tho stranger was al-
ways a welcome guest.
j A great deal of Ignorance is being
exhibited in the talk aoout holding
a constitutional convention prepara-
tory to statehood. There being no
i authority for such a convention,,
■ "Ither national or territorial, there
could be no delegates lawfully chosen.
No provision for an election of dele-
' gates exist, and any assemblage call-
! ing itself a constitutional convention
| would be no more than an assemblage,
j or mass meeting of so many unauthor-
| ized individuals. It would not only
j have no lawful existance, but would
| have no money with which to meet
! its expenses. Such an assemblage
would represent nobody and would be
' a farce. Having no legal existance
it could make no provision for an
election by the people to adopt or
reject a constitution—something al-
ways required.
In a few cases conventions have
been held and constitutions adopted
without the authority of congress; but
they have been provided for by the
acts of territorial legislatures. Pro-
visions have been for lawful elections
to choose delegates, and money ap-
propriated to pay the expenses of
such elections, and of the conventions.
Kansas was, we think, the last state
to be admitted without an enabling
act; but the legislature gave legal ex-
istance to the convention; provided
for a just representation of the peo-
ple, and appropriated money to pay
expenses of the necessary elections
and of the holding of the convention.
To suppose that a gang of schemers
can gather together, and call them-
selves a convention of the people,
anil have their work respected as
such by congress, is about as vision-
ary and hair-brained a proposition
as could well be made. And that is
all that is intended by those who
make the proposition. A representa-
tion of the people, a convention,
made fair and lawful by congress or
the territorial legislature, is what
they would like to find some way to
avoid. But it can't be accomplished
that way.—Enid Events.
(From Monday's Daily i
Serve Ye the Lord.
Rev. Wilson, a traveling evangelist
l egan a series of revival meetings
yesterday at the Baptist church and
his sermon at night was a hummer
along the lines of experiences he has
had in evangelistic work.
He told of the many thousands who
have come to the Lord under his min-
istration in all the cities great and
small throughout the nation from
Main to California and impressed up-
on his hearers the proclamation that
he knows that he is in happy pos-
session of saving grace and is ready
at any time to shuffle ofi this mortal
habilliment, knowing that he will put
on the white robes of immortality.
Rev. Wilson is essentially southern
in his enunciation and follows the
I style and methods of the eminent Sam
Jones in his sermons; going directly
after the coveted sinner in a way that
is calculated to give a vivid picture
( of an endless hell unless he flees the
! wrath to come. He says the church
] will not hold the crowds who will
, flock to hear him in a few nights and
therefore urges those who want a
| seat in the. church to come early and
: avoid the mighty rush.
| Last night the church was filled
and it therefore looks favorable for
the fulfilment of his prophecy and
that a great outpouring of the Holy
Ghost is in waiting for the ungodly
in El Reno.
The evangelist proposes to visit the
saloons, the gambling houses, the
stores, banks, offices and work shops
and personally call sinners to repent-
ance, a proceeding some what new to
El Reno and there will be numerous
motives of interest on the results.
Hon. Bert Maxwell, editor of the
| Yukon Sun is in the city today vis-
iting among the politicians and those
< f the newspaper fraternity.
Threshers Combine.
The Yukon Sun copies our article
on the threshers combine and then
quotes J. H. Ulrich and F. A. Woods
officers of the Canadian county lodge
as assuring the people that the in-
stitution "will not oppress the wheat
growers." The Sun says that F. J.
Pazoueck desires it to say for him
that the association "dos not intend
to ask unreasonable prices but will
run on the live and let live principle."
There never has been a trust or
combination but what its officers as-
sured the people that it was all right
and was organized for the special
benefit of the public. For years after
trusts began to form the officers of
the trust denied vehemently that there
were any such a thing as a trust.
The republican party and the republi-
can politicians denied it every where.
If this organization is not a combine
to keep prices of threshing up what
is it organized for? Certainly not
to put prices down.
