Peasant Mob Attacks Steward and As-
sistants In Russia
ST. PETERSBURG: Reports were
received here of an outbreak on the
great Arsonoff estates in the govern-
ment of Samara, in which a small
array of peasants treacherously at-
tacked the steward of tho estate and
his assistants.
Many people were killed.
The peasants had gathered to ne-
gotiate with the officials in the dis-
tribution of allotments. An attack
upon the officials had been pre-arrang-
ed and at a given signal, seven hun-
dred of the peasants appeared with
guns and bombs.
They attacked and wounded the of-
ficials and then set fire to the build-
ings, haj stacks and other property
looting such buildings as contained
valuables.
I he armed mob fired several vol
levs killing a number of
Troops were hurried to the scene and

Mississippi Choctaw Indian and Fami-
ly Worth $80,000
ARDMORE: One of the many
amusing features of public life was
witnessed Friday afternoon at the
land office. Just before the office
closed for the day, A. P. Powell, a
Mississippi Choctaw Indian, who lives
near Homer, a few miles north of
this fdty, walked into the land office
to register. While In there he was
called upon to give the names of his
children for enrollment. Now it so
happened that Powell is just the least
bit absent minded, and that coupled
with the fuct that ho has fifteen
children, may be the cause of his for-
getting one, bat whatever cause, Pew-
ell was unable to remember tho name
of one of his own children. After
half a dozen names had been suggest-
ed by the affable clerk in the enroll-
ing department, Powell thought of
the right one. This child bore the
name of its father, and Powell had
forgotten his own name. The fact
that he has fifteen children and only
one wife is a favorable excuse for his
temporary absent mindedness. This
incident will remind one of Col. Phil
Clabanen of Texas, who, when asked
his name studied a minute and said
I forgot, but if my wife was here
I bet she could tell you in a minute.”
Nevertheless, Powell received sev-
enteen allotments which will make
him worth practically $80,000 and the
forgotten child, who bears his father's
name, will receive one seventeenth of
this amount.

of the evidence offered in the Spivey

Some Declare Segregated Holdings
Are Not Worth as Much as Reported
SOUTH M’ALESTER: The “Truth
About the Segregated Coal Lands”
will be the name of the booklet pre-
pared for the senatorial committee
when it begins its labors in this city
in the middle of November.
According to those who know some-
thing about the segregated lands and
what they contain, there has been a
lot of foolishness printed about the
incalculable riches of these lands.
That they do not contain vast quan-
tities of very fine coal there can be
no doubt, but that they are worth
billions of dollars is extremely doubt-
ful.
