OTBBXB. mOVIOI’l VETO.
Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 13.—Governor
Ferguson returned the quarantine
bill to the council today with hts
veto, and the council at once passed
the bill over his veto without a dis-
senting vote, Winkler, Decker and
Murray being absent. The bill
places all Oklahoma above the quar-
antine line, against the expressed
wishes of Secretary Hitchcock, who
requested Governor Ferguson when
the bill was pending to use his In-
fluence against the legislature’s iu*
terfeience with the Osage Indian
reservation which is below the quar-
antine line, in his message to the
legislature, Governor Ferguson de-
clared in favor of putting the Osage
country above the line. Secretary
Hitchcock said that he decided to re-
lease the Osage pasture to owners of
southern cattle. The present leases
do not expire until April.
In his message accompanying the
veto Governor Feiguson said that
any attempt by the legislature to
impose legislation upon the Osage
country would be cen rary to the or-
ganic act of Oklahoma and that to
pass a law which would conflict with
the policy of this department of the
federal government, that policy be-
ing sustained by congressional
authority, would he useless. Nine
votes are necessary to prevent the
passage of the bill over the gov-
ernor's veto in the house, Its success
requiring a two-thirds majority.
Those in opposition to the veto claim
nineteen votes tonight. It was not
expected a week ago that the veto
would be overridden, several mem-
bers in favor of the bill saying that
after its veto the bill would be mod-
ified by omitting the Osage reserva-
tion, and placing all other portions
of Oklahoma above the line
On Tuesday the lower house con-
firmed the action of the council and
passed the quarantine measure by a
vote of 20 to 5.

W. E. Moody was called to Mar-
shall, Okla., last Saturday by a tele*
phone message announcing the death
of his sister, Mrs. Estes, her husband
and daughter. The Guthrie Capital
Sunday, gave an account of the
tragedy sul-tantlally as follows: Mr.
Estes, who for some time past had
been acting unnaturally, during
Friday night killed his wife, his
daughter and attempted the life of
his son, and after setting fire to the
house killed himself with a shot gun.
The son and daughter had been to a
neighborhood party Friday evening,
and returning about midnight the
boy went to his fathers’ room to show
him a pair of shoes that he had
bought for him; the father pronoun-
ced them too small, and said they
would have io be returned, but did
not stem angry. The boy went to
bed, but about 2 o’clock was awak-
ened by a noise that sounded like
blows, and heard his sister scream.
He went to Investigate and was met
by his Cither with a s’ick stove
wood His father s’ruck him and
warned him not to follow, and then
went to his wife’s room. The boy es-
caped in his night clothes and went
to a neighbors, and then a short time
after saw the house In flames. Early
In the morning a party headed by
James Moody, a brother of Mrs.
Estes, went to the place and found
the father, mother and daughter all
dead and nearly consumed by the
fire. A shot gun was beside the
father, and his head nearly severed,
indicating the manner of his death.
It was a horrible tragedy and Mr.
Moody has the sympathy of his many
friends.

MRS E. P BLAKE ENTERTAINS.
Mrs. E. P. Blake entertained the
Kensington club Tuesday afternoer
of this week. Advantage was taken
of the day and It was in the nature
of a valentine party. The ladle*
were furnished with cards aud draw-
ing material and were required to Il-
lustrate a certain familiar tune or
song. After the drawings were com-
pleted they were passed around tube
guessed upon and afterwards were;
scored, the hostess playing a chord
from each tune to indicate what thej
were. It afforded much amusement
and the majority of the drawing'*
while crude, reflected the subject suf-
ficient to be recognizable. "John
Brown’s Body Lies Mouldering lathe
Grave,” "Listen to the Mocking
Bird,’’ “Old Oaken Bucket,” e*c.r
were the themes. Elegant refresh-
ments were served during the even-
ing and the meeting was one of the
most enjoyable yet held by the clstu
All members were present - except
Mrs. H. R. West and Mrs. A. G.
Barrett, and Mrs. Jos. W. Hall a*
guest. Wedneday afternoon
Blake entertained other friends aot
members of the club and by her tisu
clever entertainments strengtbeem
her reputation as an ideal hostess.
